Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye protection

Hi
I have high myopia on both eyes(-12 D) in both, I never have any retina problems but my retina like any other high myopia patient is not normal, I am 31 F, I have unwanted facial hair and I want to use laser, the laser is The LightSheer Diode, the technician showed me the eye protection gear and it was dark glasses but it was see through, she told me I can close my eyes for more protection !
Please see an EyeMD Ophthalmologist right away. It could possibly be a serious problem just from your description of being hit in the eye by a raquetball. It's kind of like telling me you got hit by a car. Surely I would recommend seeing a doctor right away. Raquetballs are notorious for causing serious eye injuries. Remember to always wear eye protection because if the ball doesn't hit you a raquet will.
My age is 34 and I am a software developer. 10 years back I had a minor eye laser done to seal weak spots in the retina. My eyesight is -0.75 (right) and -2.75(left). I have had eye flashes and floaters for past 2 years. Couple of months back, during a routine eye examination, the doctor said there is a minor horse shoe tear in the left eye and he sealed it with laser. I just had dilated eye examination done few days back and everything was normal.
Happy to help. Avoid trauma to your eye and violent whipping action such as roller coaster/thrill rides. Don't do yoga stand on head. Eye protection for eye hazardous activities. Live healthy lifestyle. DON"T SMOKE.
Do no use tobacco or cannabis products in any form, eat a healthy diet (frutis, fiber, fish, berry, nuts, dark leafy greens), avoid obesity which in turn will reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis all of which can damage the eye, wear proper eye protection for contact sports and tasks with high risk of eye injury, (welding, metal on metal hammering, fireworks, fire-arms), Protect the eyes and body from excess sun exposure and wear uV blocking sunglasses, especially if t
The computer does not damage the eye, ever.
Avoid direct trauma to the eye, wear appropriate eye protection for work/sports, don't go on violent amusement rides, don't stand on your head (yoga).
1. Only an Eye MD that has looked in your eye can give an okay for that type of activity. If your retina MD has okayed it I don't think that is the sort of thing people seek second opinions about.
2. Well exercises like running, swimming, etc are find. You might want to avoid contact sports, you would want to wear proper eye protection for racquet sports, you would want to avoid things like amusement park rides that violently throw your head around.
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.
t think it a good idea, neither are contact sports, if you must do contact sports proper eye protection is a must. Avoid carnival type rides that whip and jerk your head about.
Compared to a lot of people that post here your problems do not have grim prognosis.
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!
See an Eye MD every year maybe 2 a comprehensive ophthalmologist and an retina surgeon Eye MD. Always think eye protection and safety. Do not smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Eat a good diet and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise in moderation. Have a family physician that you also see at least yearly.
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?
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.
I like the idea of being able to continue wearing contact lenses (left eye included) if I find my distance and/or astigmatism correction after surgery is not where I want it in my left eye. Is there an advantage or disadvantage in using laser incisions vs a toric IOL in being able to further correct my post surgery vision in my left eye with contacts if necessary?
Does a toric IOL serve to halt the progression of my astigmatism?
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?
