laser eye recovery

- I still have not been told exactly what kind of detachment it is (vitreous or retinal) or the severity, if the macula was detached or not. She believes they did some laser work on her eye when she was brought in. Is it possible to do some retinal detachment surgery with a laser so soon after the accident? Without knowing this about Friday's work on her eye, I urged her to go back into the hospital on Monday, which she did.

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.

Your question can only be answered by an Eye MD that has acutally looked into your eye. You will need to get that information from the Eye MD taking care of you. You have a very serious problem, its important to understand that.

Two nights ago woke up from sleep in middle of night with terrible headache on my left side about the eye I had the laser surgery. The headache went away shortly after getting up for the day. Last night as soon as I laid down to bed I got the bad headache in the same place along with eye pain in my left eye. I took two aspirins to ease the pain. They eased the headache, but not the eye pain. I have been up for four hours and still have eye discomfort.

The left eye wasnt bad, they did an indirect laser on it. The right eye however, had a large tear and much fluid had gone behind it. On the right eye they did the schleral buckle, laser, the gas bubble and drained 75% of the eye fluid. I guess my biggest concern is that I am a mail delivery person and run rural routes on roads with big pot holes and lots of dust and gravel.

I had surgery for 2 retinal tears in my left eye about a month ago. Cryo, laser, and a gas bubble was put in. My surgeon wants to do preventive laser treatment in my right eye where there is lattice degeneration. I am 44 and severely myopic (-13) My question is about the recovery for the surgery. Am I looking at another two weeks of being still? He has only talked about doing laser treatment.

My left eye had small holes and tears which were sealed back by laser treatment. I was told that my retina i the right eye had detached past the macula point. I understand that I will not be able to see fine details and probably will not gain full 20/20 vision back in the right eye. Being that I am so young, what is the likelihood of retinal detachment occuring again and causing complete blindness to my right eye?

t decide to do laser treatment or not. I had consulted two eye doctors. One said to do laser as soon as possible as he explained retinal tear cannot heal by itself. However, another doctor said that he saw sign of self repair going on for my tear. He said wait for a while to check on the self recovery. Can someone help to confirm retinal tear can heal by itself? Is retinal tear and a hole in the retinal the same?

I had a RD in my right eye and had a gas bubble and laser. The specialist says it looks fine post surgery i.e. three weeks hence but I have wavy vision on the left side of my vision though my reading in that eye has improved. Is it possible to "settle" or is it only the brain that compensates? The surgeon said it should be ok but I still have the wavyness and it is now one month post surgery. Can the wavyness eventually settle?

Hello, I am wanting to know the stages of recovery after retina detachment surgery. On 9/12/11 I had cryotherapy with pneumatic retinopexy due to PVD that caused a detachment. On 9/19 I returned to work (vision in the good eye only due to the bubble in the other) On 9/28 I was in the hospital due to another detachment (same eye, different location) this time I had a scleral buckle, viterectomy, laser retinopoxy and pneumatic retinopexy.

Thanks for the feedback doc. Assuming that this is the best improvement that I can expect to see, is there any procedure I can look into to regain the lost vision? Or is this truly a permanent thing with no surgical or other alternative to attempt to restore some sight? Also, I am already seeing a 2nd retina specialist as I didn't care for the first one at all.

So, is HB related to my eye disease in any way i.e can eye treatement through laser bring this virus in blood or the eye drops to dilate used with every patient contribute in it.

You may still have a tiny gas bubble still in the eye. The red patch in not likely to be sutures at all as none are put inside the eye where you would see them.

That is a very serious eye condition and often the eye does not make a full recovery, in many instances even with putting retina back in place the vision remains poor. use the search feature and archives and read about "retinal detachment" and "oil in eye for retinal detachment" 2. Dilated pupil is a common problem after RD surgery and often is permanent and unavoidable. This also is discussed many times use the search feature also. 3.

Hello, I am a 21 year old college student who had advanced retinopathy of prematurity and is blind in one eye. In 2005 my good retina began detaching again, and I've had several laser procedures to contain peripheral detachments and tears. I just underwent another laser treatment a few days ago, and at my check-up in a few weeks my doctor and I will discuss the possibility of surgically inserting a scleral buckle to more permanently relieve the general traction.

One weeks ago, my doctor found some fluid at the edge of my retina in the same eye. He gave me 3 options - laser the edge to weld the fluid spreading; injecting gas bubbles or another surgery. He recommended the first one and that's what we did. I went back this one week later and he said the laser worked, no more surgery and come back in a month. My questions are: - i do see a minor shadow/distortion in my eye and will this remain forever? or it will get better?

About 11 weeks ago, that was repaired by vitrectomy, laser, scleral buckle, and my eye was filled with SF6 gas. After 7 weeks of face-down recovery, my bubble was small enough to go face-up. My retina was reportedly in excellent recovery. Unfortunately, a cataract had formed as a result of the bubble and procedures. I was amazed I had 20/30 vision through a pinhole with my old glasses on, so I feel that my chances for an excellent complete visual recovery are good.

If you have red top drops that dilate the eye you make need reading glasses during the recovery.

I am 27 years old and female. I had a procedure called photocoagulation (laser eye surgery) done at the beginning of June for holes in my retina in my left eye. About 2 weeks later I began having pain around my left eye. A week later I also noticed that my left pupil was bigger than the right. I made an appointment to see the opthalmologist who performed the procedure. He said I had physiological anisocoria and said that the laser surgery had nothing to do with it.

5 to -3, with the view that this eye could be used as my reading eye and keep my left eye as the distance eye. But my right eye is my dominant eye and i am reading now that some people have difficulty training their dominant eye to be the reading eye. I worry that if that happens, i will still need to wear glasses over my left eye to read. Alternatively, i can opt for my left eye to correct to also about -2.0 and there will be parity on both eyes.

They do this with a YAG laser. I had an eye infection because of the lack of tears after the cataract operation (at least Dr Hagan III said it might be from lack of tears) I attribute it to eye drops because it didn't occur until I used these. Other than that my vision is pretty good.

I had retinal detachment surgery done on my Right eye on 03 Sept 2009. The eye was also filled with silicon oil, and the lens removed. Subsequently, laser treatment was done to remove scar tissue. In the next follow-up session on 09 November 2009, about 2 months after surgery, the surgeon sent me for optometric test. I could NOT see the eye chart with my operated Right eye. I can see the doors, windows, and furniture, but the images are blur. I CANNOT see the letters in the newspapers.

I recently had cataract surgery on one eye, and the IOL isn't providing vision as sharp as I would have liked to have obtained. My surgeon says that it's possible to correct this through a laser procedure. Has anyone gone through this situation, and could you relate your results if you had further correction.
