Looks like this board hasn't been active for a long time but figured I'd see if anyone was lurking. I was surprised to see some posts from people with -9 prescriptions who had LASIK done as my research had always indicated that me (-9) was not a good candidate for LASIK - ie. they have to shave too much off your cornea at that prescription and thereby weaken your eye's structural integrity too much to have it done.

I'm glad to see it has been successful for these people. I have always contemplated doing ICL instead (Implantable Contact Lenses). This has been going on in Canada significantly longer than in the US. It has many advantages of LASIK and is ideal for those with high prescriptions. The procedure is completely reversible should complications develop later.

Here is a link from an outstanding and pioneering place that does it. I think that I will have it done in the future and probably from this place which is in my former hometown:

If anyone has any experience /knowledge of the procedure, a post of your experiences would be much appreciated.
