I got ICLs 16 years ago and my advice is I would think twice about it.

Right after the surgery and ever since I get very bad halos in high contrast environments. I haven't been able to drive at night ever since because the halos from street lamps and headlights obscure a significant portion of my vision making it very dangerous.

In addition I had an eye checkup several years ago and was told I had cataract and would need to keep an eye on it. I tracked down the surgeon who did my operation all those years ago and got a second opinion. He told me my eyes were actually fine, and wrote a letter to the first optometrist explaining what she was seeing and recommended me a different optometrist who he knew had experience with ICLs.

I recently needed glasses to drive again as my vision has gotten slightly worse over time as it does naturally.

On balance I have extremely mixed feelings about it.
