Avatar n tn I will decide after the left eye is done if I want to have laser surgery done. I can discuss this with one of the doctor at the new clinic.
Avatar f tn I had cataract surgery in my left eye, I was supposed to get far vision in both eyes & have reading glasses, I ended up with very close vision 6 in to 18 in in the left eye & I can see a ring around the outside of my eye when I read, model sn60wf 25.0d. I now have a ghost image to the left side of all objects in the left eye & a kinked capsule that also gives me a white star burst diagonally . so the surgeon adjusted the next cataract lens in my right to sn60wf 24.

Avatar m tn On January 3, 2012, I had to go through the YAG laser procedure to get rid of the scar tissue from the cataract surgery in my left eye. Since the first YAG procedure in January, I have gone through this procedure two more times, January 17, and February 14, 2012. I have been looking for information on this and I cannot seem to find it. What I need to know is how many times does a person have to undergo YAG laser before it finally causes damage to the eye, more specifically the retina?
Avatar n tn another opthalmologist just told me that i am not suffering from exotrophia, but just an eye power problem. i was told by him that my right eye has a positive number and the right eye goes out of focus towards my ear when m not wearing glasses. he will be able to reduce it to normal by laser. i would like to know how much could be the success chance in my case and does the laser have major side effects?
Avatar f tn I had cataract surgery with ACRY Sof IQ IOL by Alcon implanted in my bad right eye on 1/23/012, 20/20 vision post surgery, with no issue, a year later same surgeon said he can easily take care of the secondary cataract in my right eye, with laser surgery in his office, now 19 months later, I am deliberating the pros and cons of YAG laser capsulotomy, and found this in depth article by New York Times about cataract surgery, if it was available two years ago, at the time when I was researching b
Avatar m tn Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery is no better than regular cataract surgery. They both utilize phacoemulsification. To imply no ultrasound is used is false as the surgeon still needs to place the phaco probe into the eye. A toric lens is more reliable than cutting the cornea with limbal relaxing incisions, but if a small amount of astigmatism correction is needed then I would say go with Laser Assisted LRI. The best way to ensure accuracy is to have really good preoperative measurements.
181575 tn?1250198786 He saw his GP who referred him to an eye specialist. The eye specialist found that he had a retinal tear. My brother just completed laser surgery (Monday afternoon) to seal the tear. After surgery he said the spots and rings were gone and he felt relieved. By evening (about 5 hours later), he said the spots came back but not as severe. He's concern again. Is this "normal" for the spots and ring symptoms to come back like this.
Avatar f tn I am terrified of going ahead with the operation on my right eye as at least I can see distances through the clouds of cataract! What could have gone wrong? Help, PLEASE!
Avatar f tn a few years earlier, i had LASIK for near vision in my right eye and for far vision in my left, stronger eye. The right cataract surgery went well. the left eye was not clear like the right, immediately noticeable. i was not given the lens case afterwards for the left eye and wondered if it was possible the wrong scrip was used. how would i find out short of cutting open the incision and retreiving the lens? the dr. then used a laser he said would sharpen my vision some.
13008581 tn?1432432810 In a word, nystagmus. So I would not be a candidate for laser eye surgery. As has ben said here, you need to find out exactly what is causing your problem. As to whether or not laser ssurgery is safe for people with MS, it seems to be. Just prior to being diagnosed I had laser eye surgery to tray and correct elevated intraoccular pressure. It ddidn't work, but it didn't cause any MS related problems either.
Avatar m tn My current vision in the left eye is 20/40 and I have been told it will continue to get worse and was advised to have laser surgery to correct the problem. I was further advised that a large percentage of patients must undergo this surgery after cataract removal because the implant gets a haze or a wrinkle in it. I have no knowledge or experience with this sort of thing, so I need some practicle advise. With low vision in my right eye I can not afford to stumble on my next move.
Avatar f tn If a person only has one eye they need to be much more careful than those blessed with two. It would be important to know what the person's glasses RX is, how thick the cornea is, age, whether there is any degree of cataract and how extensive the lattice is. Also what is wrong with the other eye that it can't see. If you can furnish that information I can give you a better answer.
Avatar n tn My eye seems to flicker or flutter after surgery, what causes this and will it go away? Surgery was 5 days ago. Also, when will my distance vision return? I can see clearly about 5-6 feet but no further without being totally blurry.
Avatar m tn Are you a candidate for surgery to treat your macular pucker? After RD surgery consisting of a vit-buckle plus laser plus bubble my eye never felt or saw well until combined macular pucker/cataract surgery seven or so months later. The wavy lines diminished considerably and my eye comfort and vision improved greatly.
Avatar n tn I am 70 years old, had cataract surgery, both eyes 4 months ago. Right eye fine, but one week later developed inflammation, gel, and large floater in left eye. Have been on Pred Forte twice daily and to continue for 3 more months. Left eye is swollen, red, and has a glaze. Doctor says I have to live with the floater, but interferes with my sight. .
Avatar n tn I had laser surgery 12 years ago. I have begun to lose the vision in my right -- progressive and becoming more and more blurry. Now my left eye is going the same way. Is it possible to lose your vision due to laser surgery complications now that it has been more than 12 years? What are the odds?
Avatar n tn I had the floaters removed from my right eye with a Vitrectomy. The floaters will be gone, but your eyesight will be worse and you may have to have cataract lens implants. You may also get eye infections and lose your near vision. The loss of near vision depending on the lens implant you get can be corrected with glasses, but the eye infections from the loss of the lipid layer to your eyes from the cataract lens implant operation may reoccur.
