The bionic fleetwood begins. Any chance you can get pics of the bionic iris before it's installed?Last edited by reklipz; 04-25-2014, 10:19 AM.

The iris has a fixed pupil diameter of 3.35 millimeters, it does not open and close with changing light levels. The lens will be designed to restore my distance vision and I will have to wear reading glasses for close work (I was already wearing reading glasses with the contacts I wear for distance vision). This is intended to be an essentially permanent repair. I'll ask the surgeon if he can take a picture (maybe a video of the procedure?).

I did know a guy in college who was missing an eye; he had a collection of glass eyes: one normal, one bloodshot, one with an American flag, plus some others.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

Still waiting on the artificial iris to be delivered, then we can schedule the surgery to install it. I will probably wait until late July at the earliest; I have to make two trips to Pensacola July 6-7 and July 18-19 to take one of my daughters to a music camp at Pensacola Christian College.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

MY wife works at an eye clinic and she has the worst stories ever. Eye protection is my biggest pet peeve at work. Her boss is my good shooting friend. He is one of the best surgeons in Oregon.

The one on artificial iris implantation looks like what they will do (my eyes started watering while watching), with the addition of installation of a lens - not sure how much more involved that is. Found out this week that the iris has arrived. Surgery is scheduled for Sept. 23.Last edited by Fleetw00d; 07-14-2014, 01:14 AM.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

Surgery is scheduled for Sept. 23. Vision in in the eye is currently 20/80 and with lenses in the office they could only get it to 20/63, so an intraocular lens will not be installed, only the artificial iris. The lens would require a much larger incision, more risk, longer and more restrictive recovery, and the correction would probably not be exactly correct, still potentially requiring glasses or a contact lens. A normal contact lens can be worn after the surgery to improve my vision. The surgery may or may not correct the double vision in the eye (it is noticeably less when wearing 1.5 reading glasses - so a contact lens may help) and probably will not correct the slight waviness of straight lines (likely the result of retinal damage). The fixed pupil opening will reduce the sensitivity to bright light. I'll let you know how it goes.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450
