Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye operation

One of the laser shots made me cringe backwards from the pain I felt. The catract operation on my right eye, the weaker eye, was successful, and my vision improved. However the vision in my left eye became weaker with foglike obstraction. The catarct operation on my left eye was also successful, according to the doctor, BUT he told me I needed another operation on in my left eye.
and the left eye has been cured by laser treatment...and the right eye had some critical problems so she had an operation in her right eye in Singapore last year...even after that operation she is having problems in that eye...and there is non-stop headache ......and the eye remains dirty even after washing it thoroughly .............She is using optical glasses for her normal eye power....What do u thing what should we do now?
before the operation, the nurse did the eye pressure check using a "pen" like device. I have done this test before, although you can feel the pen, it doesn't feel any pressure. But this time I did feel some "pressure" on the eye ball, it doesn't hurt though. After that, she gave me some dilation drops, and my eye feels hurt and burned. I have had eye dilation many times, this is the only time I feel the burn.
Please can you tell me if reading glasses will be the solution to my reading difficulty or do I need to do an operation on my right eye (which has a mild cataract) and bring the vision to minus 2.5 too. I am scared of another cataract operation as I had a lot of problems with the first one on the left eye including swelling at the back and developing a secondary membrane and needing Yag Laser for it. I had the Yag Laser on the left eye a week ago.
This is all thru one eye only. My over eye has been fine. The medication has not worked and my eye does not seem to like a low dosage of eye drops either. As soon as the doctors try and reduce them, my eye becomes imflammed once again, causing pain in my eye and head.
The latest consultant which i have been seeing has tried YAG laser capsulotomy. The Hole which they seem to make closed up within weeks off it being opened.
If the laser operation had been done correctly, how could it be there is a "flap" still hanging? To me, a flap (like the hanging chad) would have fallen away if all the scar tissue had been properly removed. Is this a common occurrence when laser is used on the eye?
Any comments/suggestions will surely be appreciated.
I'm a 56-year-old woman with about -12.5 in each eye. A few years ago I was advised against lens replacement surgery because of the risk of retinal detachment. I've now been told that they may go ahead as the new all-laser operation causes less trauma to the eye and lowers the risk of RD. I'm waiting to have an appt with the surgeon and will discuss it further. I'd be interested in any other views on this development.
The doctor removed the first stitch with a laser - approximately one week after the operation. One week later he removed a second stitch. The day after he removed the second stitch I couldn't see out of the eye... everything was blurry. I was told one of the side effects as the result of the operation was hypotony. Apparently the hypotony from the operation has resulted in folds in choroid. The doctor put a contact lense on my left eye but it has not helped to increase the pressure.
clock) and some detaching as a result of being hit in the eye. 4 days later he received a session of laser around the tear. The following day a retina specialist did another session of laser around the entire retina. My husband was still for 2 weeks and the laser stopped the detaching. However, a thin black area remained in his vision at the bottom of his eye, resulting from the retinal tear.
A few years ago, at the age of 77, I had cataract operation. First the left eye, and it was wonderful. A few months later I had to have it done on my right eye. This time the operation didn't work. I wasn't able to see far. However, in the beginning I was able to read with the operated eye. One of the advisory doctors told me that people would pay lots of money to have it done this way. Which I found to be childish.The eye doctor tries everything to correct it.
so, there is no chance that by mistake the doctor touch the nerves?
Generally after 90 days, the eye should be stable and suitable for the yag laser if needed. Now, one important note, the doctor needs to carefully evaluate the macula to make sure there is no abnormality there like macular edema or macular pucker. An OCT scan would be very, very helpful here, and I would want to make sure it was normal before proceding with yag laser. Ask you doctor about the health of macula. How does OCT scan of macula look?
