laser eye damage

sir,the visual acuity also is diminished.kindly help.

No the lasers at a discotheque will not damage the eye. If you have floaters and watering eyes that's not the cause. If you can tear yourself away from "Saturday Night Fever" then see an ophthalmologist on Monday.

The brownish staining from the bruising I got following multiple surgeries on my right eye was completely removed by a single treatment with a Q-switched laser. This is the same laser used to remove tattoos. I had previously been told that the problem was untreatable, since no cream could penetrate that deeply. But I recently found an article on the Candelalaser website describing the use of a Q-switched laser to treat blood staining on the legs and calves. I was referred to Dr.

Hello sir , How are you , I hope you are enjoying your good health ..

The doctor checked my retina and said i have several holes and have a weak retina. He said it is advisible to undergo laser therapy which will stop further damage and floaters. I've heard that there is a lot of debate on this subject. And hence im confused where i should go for the laser therapy. Can anyone help me?

Can a laser mouse for a computer cause permanent vision damage? I know that certain lasers can. I ask this because I recently bought a new laser mouse and looked at the bottom of the mouse because i felt something stuck when i moved my mouse. I looked at the lense where the laser is supposed to be. I have maybe looked at the lense where the laser is about 2-3 times each at different times. I did not pick up the mouse and put it directly infront of my face or eyes.

I was wondering...my eye doctor checked my eye pressure 3 times on each eye and they were all between 25-30. they checked for glaucoma but it was negative...nothing else was done. shouldn't they try to lower the pressure to prevent damage to my optic nerve??? i am experiencing blurry vision but every so often and sometimes i feel like there's something in my periphrial sight, i'll turn my head and there will be nothing there.

Also the decision to do laser first or gel stent depends on how much damage there is to your eye. If you have severe glaucoma and lost of damage to your optic nerve, bad looking visual fields and bad nerve fiber layer OCT than going to the stent would be appropriate.

There are safety requirement for laser use. You should as the bar is a laser was used. Also, you should get your eyes checked your ophthalmologist. Dr. O.

So on 1st of september,I had laser done, my flashes are gone but new problem emerged that, after the laser, my vision is still blurry as Almost 40 hrs have been passed, I can read words in LE accurately but they are slightely blurred as compared to my RIGHT HEALTHY EYE, I was worried about damage to fovea Or cornea by laser .

Hi, I have just come back from my yearly check up at the hospital (I have eye pressures consistently above 26 but not over 30) and my local hospital advised that they only treat over 30 and will actively monitor me for any damage/changes etc which to date I have none, visual field still fully intact and no nerve damage as yet with these pressures. Also to keep you informed my left eye is severely amblyopic so basically I use my right eye for everything!

I have to have a capsulotomy and was wondering if this procedure will damage the Photoreceptors or rods and cones in my eye. Does this bright light and heat damage this part of the eye? I read in one of the databases at the library that this was possible in a laser procedure.

I have noticed deteriorating vision in my left eye for the past 5 years or so. My left eye is considerably worse than my right. Recently they tried PET in my left eye with a short temporal improvement. I now have difficulty reading and writing. I am a writer. I live in Sydney Australia. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, I went dr to check my eye number. They used eye drop. I had pain after eye drop and I was feeling uncomfortable with my right eye. I came back to dr office and they noticed my eye pressure has rised up. Apparently eye drop had blocked my drainage. They are referring me to specialist for laser treatment. Does it end glaucoma for me? Does cause permanent side effect?

t want the YAG laser to damage my eye from the power of the laser. How long do I have to wait to have this laser work done after cataract and vitrectomy surgery?

If not, what alternative options are available to help cure her eye condition? 4. Will eye exercises further damage her retina leading to retinal detachment?

how long does it take for the slt to begin working? and why did they check my eye pressure so soon afterwards would my eye pressure go down that quickly?i then need to return in 6 weeks for another pressure check.

No such symptoms are not characteristic of laser damage to the eye, not at all. They are suggestive of dry eyes and contact lens problems.

I also have severe dry eye and light sensativity that current doc said I had before all the problems , and the laser and surgery may have contributed to getting worse . He felt that we should stay on current regiment for now. OOps almost forgot taking meds for Occular Rosecea which he says also makes symptoms worse.

LASIK surgery can cause what ophthalmologists call "Ocular Surface Disorder" but goes by name 'dry eye syndrome". two types more severe is 'aqueous deficiency' no tears, eye feels like sandpaper and often dry mouth. Other is 'lipid deficiency" and the eyes water because tears poor quality. LASIK can cause either, mainly in females as dry eye problems much more common in women mainly post menopausal but can occur in males and young women.

There are dangers as well, because of possible retinal damage from the laser. The FOV is only offered by a limited number of eye doctors, however, that list is growing. FOV is a procedure that takes about 15-30 minutes, but does not guarantee removal of all debris. Cataract development after this FOV is apparently common. Your ophthalmologist may not recommend either of these procedures, because of the 'No Harm' commitment, by MD's.

Hi l am 47 and been diagnosed glaucoma for ten years,l dont think l have lost any vision as my peripheral and central vision tests are still good l have been taking eye drops for ten years but my eye specialist said they are no longer effective as the nerve damage in my eyes has been getting worse over past ten years.. He said the higher the number the worse it is and in the past ten years l have gone from a 2 to a 4.

Yag laser capsulotomy is the easiest, quickest, safest operation than any ophthalmologist does.

ll never be able to see properly out of that eye. The doctor wants to do laser surgery on the other eye to prevent further damage. She is scheduled for that next week. I was wondering if that will help her blurry vision or not? I couldn't really ask the doctor- they are so busy, they are the only specialists in my area. I know it will prevent further damage. Will the procedure hurt, is this a hereditary thing? Do I have a chance of getting it?

I am a myopic with-2(LE) and -2.25(RE).I had floaters in both eyes since 7 yrs which have slightly increased in number lately.(occasional flashes).My retinal specialist has diagnosed lattice degeneration both eyes(inferior part in left eye & superior part of right eye) the round lesions in the right eye has been marked in the chart as" holes with ?traction".Doc has advised T/t with Barrage Laser .

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? My vision is constantly blurred, I see floaters, I see flashes of light, and to top it off my peripheral vision is completely gone. When people walk toward me from my left side it looks like they are walking through water. Also during surgery on my left eye, I heard my surgeon tell another doctor who was in the operating room that my iris moved.

If you Eye MD finds advancement have the laser as recommended and the chances of complications are small.
