Hi ! Your worries are quite justified. you can undergo for toric ICL in LE also. This time your surgeon will do PI along with ICL surgery I hope. In your Rt eye whatever happened, can happen in few cases. But such a problem does not happen in all cases. It was well managed. Keep your IOP frequently checked for 6 months. Thank you.
