Laser eye wavefront
Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye wavefront
laser
t just fine for most patients, esp those with low risk and who have chosen monofocal IOLs. But the laser platform w/ wavefront capability seems like it provides at least two advantages:
- Ability to map and reduce low level astigmatism in real-time: The laser can cut limbal-relaxing incisions w/ laser energy and the surgeon can see the corneal topography outcome in real time.
Of course, a toric IOL can also be used to reduce or eliminate astigmatism, especially when it's severe.
If you did have higher order aberrations, not to be negative, but I'm not sure what you would be able to do for it other than have wavefront guided laser vision correction which you don't need and which could easily make you much worse. If the minus 0.50 lens makes you better then you could easly get a glasses prescription to wear when you are driving especially at night to give you that last little bit of improvement that you want.
The fact that I have a very long axial length (mixed with other measurements) precluded me from having a toric lens (for astigmatism). The laser made limbal relaxing incisions which left me with very, very little astigmatism.
For distance, there is always a margin of error, and since I have a long axial length, this margin of error was greater. However, in the right eye, it turned out perfectly (no correction needed). In the left eye, there is an overcorrection of .75 diopters.
for 3 years. In 2007, he found that diplopia was MONOCULAR (worse in Right eye). And then, Corneal topography & Aberrometery were done, which showed superficial corneal ulcerations. Schirmer's test (I & II) results were very low. Treatment was started accordingly, but problem kept on worsening even on tear substitutes, autologus serum, topical steroids & cyclosporin. Possibility of any systemic disorder (like Sjogren's) were ruled out by Rheumatologist. .
Somehow, struggled to fit-in contacts in the first place, and whenever i tried felt that itchy feeling. God has been kind and never had any eye issue except that now i am exploring options for life without spectacles. Recently, got my tests done, are here are the details -
Right Eye
cornea thickness: 484 microns
Pupil dia: 2.95 mm
Astig: -1.0 D (cornea front), and +0.3D (cornea back)
Left Eye
cornea thickness: 475 microns
Pupil dia: 2.95 mm
Astig: -1.6 D (cornea front), and +0.
I was told that I was a steroid responder and that I had an increase IOP. The doctor was able to stabilize my eye pressure in my eye with proper medication. The startbursts, glare, and halos persisted but my blurry vision improved. I have seen several doctors including a neuro-opthamologist and cornea specialist. All 5 doctors I seen say everything is normal and there is absolutely no damage in my eyes. The cornea topography and wavefront analysis is normal.
R:-925/-275x10
L:-825/-375x170
This is my prescription.
Several years ago I tried Ortho-K and gave up several months after. I gave up because I found that I expierence halo at night. I believed that this special effect would disappear after I gave up Ortho-K after my cornea return to my old shape. However, this was not the case.
I began to experience starburst at night or in a dark environment like dark room when I look at small light like red light from a TV in standby mode.
Shape of the eyeball is not permanent & it changes according to your viewing habits,for example if one focuses on near objects & ignore (or loss interest) viewing long distant objects then he or she's eyeball elongates & become myopic when age passes on.
I had these since I can remember, but I had a laser surgery last January and I went through all kinds of examinations. Or is this some rare or special exam, which they wouldn't do before the surgery?
I had lasik surgery about 9 years ago now. I remember having dry eye symptoms and light sensitivity immediately after. My vision was pretty good at this point. After about 3 months along with dry eyes still, i noticed a verticle downward streaking of light from car headlights at night as i blinked. Over the next few months this became more noticeable off all light sources both day and night along with the usual glare and starbursts off light sources.
Every so often however it flares up randomly, I had even forgotten I had double vision until it flared up this last time. I also notice when I cover my right eye everything is slightly reddish in tint for the left eye and everything is slightly greenish in tint for the other eye. I've been told I have astigmatism and my eyes were flash burned to where I was blind for fifteen minutes when I was a kid. Does anyone know what might be wrong with my eyes?
You just had another post. There are special glasses that are made with wavefront measurement to helps these night vision problems. I have no personal experience with them. Google wavefront glasses.

I had Wavefront LASIK done last Monday, April 28th. 8 days later, I'm still not seeing clear at all. I'm seeing double vision in my left eye, and triple vision in my right eye. I can read things pretty clearly in my left eye, but then I see a 2nd image, like a ghost or shadow of the image. In the right eye, everything's blurry because of seeing at least 3 of the image. I went in 5 days after the procedure for a follow up to let my Dr.
ve done an Hess screen and the red filter.The results are negavtive (just a little exoforia), and the eye doctor says that the eyes also are ok, but just dry. I have chronic allergic conjunctivities and I am using eyes drops since several years. One year ago I also made a Magnetic reasonance to the head, negative (for vertigo). The oculist said tha the cause could be somatisation (since the results are negative). Could that be possible?Shuold I investigate or to do something else?
Hello there, I recently found about this website and happy to be a part of it.
I have Type1 Diabetes for 12 years and my eyes were -7.00 each myopia.
I decided have a LASIK surgery 6 months ago and the doctors said everything was perfect and they could correct my vision %100 and my diabetes would not be a problem.
But after the surgery I started to have more important problems than myopia and my myopia is not completely corrected. my right eye now has -2.
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 have slight elevated eye pressure diagnosed back in 2017 and taking Monopost for it I was on latanaprost but the preservative BAK caused an eye reaction and inflammation this was January 2021 so straight away they put me on Monopost which is really good keeps my eye pressure around 16 , 17 all day ...
I have been also diagnosed with Pigment Dispersion syndrome,,,,Myopia caused me PDS and PDS caused the elevated pressure and I have also alot of floaters but doesn't bother me anymore ...
I am told that I have 20/70 in my left eye and 20/40 in my right eye. I developed a macular pucker in the right eye about six months after surgery. I was sent for an exam by a retina specialist and I am told my retinas are ok. My night vision is terrible.My near and intermediate vision is very good, my distant vision is not so good. My eye surgeon has done Yag laser in both eyes twice.My vision remains the same. I also have terribly dry irrtated eyes.
Further to 2 lots of lasik treatment. I have very severe indoor and night vision problems. I am told that I have severe HOA's - all three types. I think 62%. I have been offered more guided wavefront treatment to "try" to smooth these out. Should I risk it - I am naturally nervous.I need to do something.
I am 29 years old, and at the time of surgery had a hypermature cataract in my left eye, and a nearly mature cataract in my right eye. The operation was done with the Catalys femtosecond laser by a famous surgeon in Bochum previously mentioned in these forums. By the way, Dr B D did an absolutely amazing job with me. The man is a miracle worker.
I am a 67 y/o male who has had RK (15 years ago) for myopia correction in my left eye, my dominant eye for distance, and Lasik (8 years ago) also in my left eye. I also had RK (15 years ago) in my right eye, for a monovision outcome. I was very satisfied with the outcomes of these procecures. In the past eight years since my Lasik, I have become farsighted (+1.50) in my left eye.
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.
