Re: CAA and lens implants

Alex/Loose Rivets

Yep I'm too far gone for Lasik and even if I met a clinic who stretched to offer me a solution I woundnt take it. Most seem to say that anything over +4.00 is not an option.

ICL (implantable contact lenses) are reversible so its more appealing to me. Having said that, I'm outside the preop limits anyway so I could go through the pain of the op (in my pocket!) and still get turned down. I'm still considering it though as flying is all I want to do.

Thanks for the continued info.
