IOL Surgery for Myopia Correction?

Eye care

I did not notice any irregularity or chaos in their Montreal's clinic. Personally, I would not generalize from one of their clinics to another clinic branch., It could simply be a problem specific to one brand whether some staff or a technician in that clinic is causing irregularity. In Montreal, I went through a smooth procedure at Lasik MD, it was fast and efficient. I did try another clinic a while ago and that was fine too. I check online reviews on the surgeon I met at Lasik MD and she had all positive feedback. They told me she has had 60000 surgeries in the past (though not all of them might have been IOL surgery). This goes as far as one can get some useful information online: most surgeons have mostly positive reviews from actual clients and the best we can get is anecdotal testimonies (positive or negative) which of course is no guarantee. However, having an experienced surgeon is certainly more comforting.

I think I am going to wait and for the moment, I am going to try the suggested contact lenses.

Yes, another clinic could be totally different. I got the feeling at the Edmonton Centre outlet that there didn't seem to be anyone in charge. I didn't even get to talk to an ophthalmologist. This clinic seems to rely on a lot of fly in surgeons that seem to only show up for the day of the surgery. What appears to be their main surgeon is DR. GHISLAIN-ANDRÉ BOUDREAULT, and he seems to operate out of 9 different clinics across Canada. . I think you are wise to try the contact solution. If nothing else it will tell you what monovision is like and whether it might be a solution for you when you do get to the point of needing surgery. It is probably the most risk free way of getting a full range of vision without glasses.
