The Opthamologist said I had a retinal tear, performed laser eye surgery to repair it, and advised I see a Retina Specialist before returning home. I was in shock...how could this happen to me?
I have never had any eye problems. Even during the two visits with the specialists in NY, my vision was still 20/20. The Retinal Specialist did more laser surgery so as to prevent a RD. He diagnosed me with Lattice Degeneration.
The retina specialist back east recommended that I look into getting some laser treatments in my right eye when I returned home, for prevention of future tears/RD.
Questions:
1.) Should I go forward with this preventative laser surgery, or just monitor the right eye regularly?
My fear is that if i sit and wait, and watch, my right eye will develop a tear(s) w/vitreous hemorrhages, causing more floaters and risk of RD as well.
The retina is attached but he has a lot of floaters and yesterday started to see a large black shadow at the top of his eye which continues to about the middle of the eye. Went to the retina doctor today and all is still attached but he sees a large vitreous membrane at the bottom of the eye that is probably causing the shadow. Can anyone PLEASE recommend the TOP PEDIATRIC Doctor in this field in the New York area???? Please.
On January 15th, I had cateract surgery on my right eye. I have a had a cloudy eye since then, with very little imporvement. In fact, almost none at all. I ahve take drops that the opthamolgist prescribed/ He id say it would take some time to correct or he mentioned something about going in and scraping the conre...or if it doesn't get better, I mite need a cornea transplant.
Hello, I had Lasik surgery done in Ecuador 8 days ago, i live in NYC and just got back to NY 6 days ago, i have been reading online that it is mandatory to have a follow-up with your surgeon, but since my surgeon is in Ecuador, it is not gonna happen.
I want to know if going to a Ophthalmologist and explaining the situation would be similar? or do i have to find a surgeon here?

It sounds like you might have some hemosiderin staining--i.e., your skin has been stained by your blood. I had that problem following eye surgery. In some cases, this type of staining can be permanent--but don't worry, I have a solution for you. Google "candela laser" to find the company's website. You'll find a small-scale study in which the AlexTriVantage laser successfully removed "permanent" hemosiderin stains.
I also want to know how is it possible that after the 360 laser on my left eye for precautionary the vitrous then started pulling and retina detached. I must also mention that I am myopic -6. Now I have sclera buckle in both eyes. I must also mention that the current detachment on my right eye is not interfering with my vision. Please help from South Africa.
Most recently (this year) I had laser on my other eye to repair a small detachment and tears, and because the surgeon intended to do everything possible to seal off the problem, I was given an injection of anesthetic in my eye before the laser. In other words, the surgeon anticipated that the laser could cause pain. I do have lattice but was treated with laser only when tears/holes appeared.
I hope by now your pain is gone!
I have been seeing the same doctor Wills Eye Philadelphia for the last 2 years. We have tried Xibrom, Beta Blocker 15mg eye drop and the cold laser once only on my left eye because of its location compare to the right eye. I just did my first visit since the cold laser treatment. Fluid is back on my both eyes. No fluids for 2 months and 3 weeks with Fluid. Good vision (20/30-40) with Fluid (20/50).
Is there any way to check the outcomes of laser vision correction procedures performed by surgeons? For example, when it comes to cardiac procedures, NY State requires certain mortality and difficulty information to be reported to the state and this information is available by hospital and by doctor.
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?
Actually I've been to Asg eye hospital and was seen by an eye MD opthalmologist only?
She found a doctor in ny that uses laser for surgical treatment of breast cancer, DCIS, microcalcifications etc. He uses laser for procedures such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, etc. She is considering using this doctor but she is concerned about why more doctors don't use laser. Does anyone have information on why laser is not more commonly used?
About a month ago I had yag laser treatment (by another surgeon) of one eye. It went from pre-laser treatment 20/15 distance vision to post-laser treatment of 20/25 distance vision. The second surgeon is not sure why that happened. I do recall the first surgeon saying he was going to do slight monovision although I don't recall which eye that was -- I thought it was the other eye.
(1) Would capsulotomy tend to decrease refraction within the eye (increase focal length) and thereby reduce the amount of negative correction presently needed? (2) Would you suggest that I undergo surgery on the left eye in the near future and defer it for the right one -- or, would you suggest that surgery be performed on both eyes in the near future during one session?
Postscript: Overall, I believe that monovision was a good choice.
occludable angles means the part of the eye where the fluid drains out (angle) between the iris and the cornea is narrow due to being a short eye (far-sighted) and that the iris could block the flow out of the eye causing an acute or subacute or recurrent attack of angle closure glaucoma. To prevent this from happening if Eye MD ophthalmologists see it they use a laser iridotomy (hole in the iris) to prevent the attack from developing.
Laser coagulation of retina was done prior to cataract surgery of one eye, since there were small tears or holes in that eye. Prior to laser coagulation there were no symptoms, but 2 days after that flashes started. They went down in frequency and cataract surgery was done after 5 weeks. Flashes started again after 3 days and went down but come occasionally even after 11 months.
There are two treatments being advertised for sufferers of severe floaters-more laser surgery, said to target the large bodies in the eye, that are not close to the macula, and, Floaters only Vitrectomy (FOV). The laser treatment of floaters has shown little success, from stats I've read. 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.
My doctor tells me that in some cases a floater near the outside of the lens can be eradicated with a Yag Laser. However, I have cell growth in this same eye that developed from an IOL Replacement so it also needs a Capsulotomy. If the doctor can laser the floater and get rid of it will that help prevent retinal detachment if he decides to do the Capsulotomy afterwards in the same eye?
t experienceing any vision problems in this eye prior to the laser retinopexy procedure, as the tear was detected during my annual eye exam by an eye physician. It should be noted that this was my "good eye" prior to the procedure, as it was rated better in the vision test over the other eye. After the laser retinopexy procedure, I have experienced wavy lines at the center of my vision of the repaired eye that won't go away.
