checkup surgeon said the retina was trying to detach again at the top edge of eye. Another surgery next day with with gas bubble but buckle added and laser used for retina tear. Have been in tons of pain since this surgery, drooping eye lid which only opens once in awhile and watery discharge every day. Two weeks later retina detached again. Third surgery done 3 days later. This time gas removed and silicon oil added, tear treated with laser and cataract removed during same surgery.

Can laser surgery to dissolve film after cataract surgery (secondary) contribute to problems with glare? I had cataract surgery both eyes about 2 yrs. ago to correct glare problems (no blurring) That helped about a year & then it came back. I had laser tx. to remove film about 4 months ago, it has not helped. Then I had eyelid surgery about a month ago to help ptosis. Does it take a while for my eyes to recover from the laser? It is a little better now but barely.
I had cataract surgery last week and now am seeing I have a "bag" under my eye...I've never had bags before..its 10 days since surgery...I have complete faith in my opthalmologist here in Teaneck, NJ...I'd just like a second response on why this might be?
My pressure was normal in both eyes, but my doctor recommended that I have the laser surgery for this condition. I had the last laser surgery done on my left eye on May 19, 2009. Since then I have noticed that when I am in bright light or it is shining in my eyes, I see what looks like a piece of fuzz when I blink my left eye. It is only in this eye. At first I thought I actually had a piece of fuzz on my eyelash but realized this was not the case.
The only treatment is removal by surgery with/without skin grafting (depending on the size of the lesion) or use of laser (CO2 Laser). It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
I had retina detachment surgery on my right eye a few years ago and the day following my surgery my eye was blurry and very dry. I have been to several eye doctors since the surgery and all they tell me is that my eye is extremely dry and that the surgery couldn't have caused it. If that is the case, why was my eye not blurry before the surgery? No one seems to have an answer for me and it is very frustrating.
I started having pulsations inside my left eye 2 weeks before a retinal tear happened. Then I had a laser surgery. Now, after 2 months, I am having the same kind of pulsations which I am feeling inside my eye instead of occurring in my eyelid. Is this an early symptom of another retinal tear? Thanks.
After my husband had his cataract surgery, he developed glaucoma. He now needs laser surgery to correct this, since the meds aren't improving his condition. Is glaucoma a common side effect of cataract surgery?
Four months ago I had cataract surgery. Right eye went fine. Left eye is another story. I have had pain in the left eye continually. I was told I had an eye lash in my eye, I had my glass lenses changed twice, I was told I had dry eye. I was given plugs and then got eyelid infection. I am going to my doctor in a couple of days. I have used an humidifer and went on eye vitamins.
I still have eye pain.
What should or could happen next? Should I just learn to live with it?
I had surgery to remove part of a meningioma that was comprising the third and sixth nerve. It was also pushing against the optic nerve and wrapped around the carotid artery. This was about two years ago immediately following the surgery my right eye lid has been closed and does not open. Also my right right is fixed to the right and down with very little range in movement.
I have had this surgery twice to remove the same epiretinal membrane (aka macular pucker). Your recovery will be much quicker if your surgeon uses modern, 25-gauge (sutureless) vitrectomy instruments (rather than the older instruments which require sutures.) The day after "sutureless" surgery your eye will probably be somewhat red and swollen, although this is barely noticeable in some cases. A minority of patients get bruising from the local anethesia injection.
I had cataract surgery on my left eye 2 1/2 months ago and the right eye 1 1/2 months ago. the left eye waters all the time. the right eye is fine. everything is blurry and I do not see as well in the left eye. my doctor said it is dry eye and to use drop. I do but it does not help. can you help me?

A few weeks ago my life was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with a detached retina and under emergency eye surgery. I had a cryotherapy
scleral buckling and laser.
3 ½ weeks later my eye is healing well (thank God) vision wise, I can now open my eye and it is no longer weeping HOWEVER I have noticed that my eye lid is slightly droppy (prisms) and more upsettingly I now appear to be suffering from “crossed eye” “cockeye" "wall eye”.
In my right eye, there was a small lattice problem that the doctor recommended I have a 2minute laser surgery procedure done upon. I had both surgeries done at the same time. My left eye was red and droopy and still is 3 weeks after surgery. My right eye is not red, the vision has returned to normal, but underneath the eye, I had a black Mark and on my cheek I have a large bump and numbness and pain to touch. The bump has gone down but is still there and still numb.
I had a scleral buckle put in my right eye and had laser surgery in my left eye for retinal tears when I was 28. I am now almost 42 and my eyesight has remained fairly strong for 14 years. For this I am eternally grateful to my talented surgeon. I am not a vain woman and appreciate the fact that my eyesight is the most important consideration, but my right eyelid is noticeably uneven and droops over part of my iris. At what point would it become medically necessary to correct?
There was a lot of bleeding in my eye. As a result, my cataract surgery was postponed. My doctor decided to do laser surgery on my other eye (left, weaker eye) to make my retina stay attached. He didn't do laser on the eye with the vitreous detachment. After two months, he felt I was ready for the cataract surgery. My right eye, with the vitreous tear, did not come through with the positive result of the other eye.
Dear dp33,
I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD further as he/she is aware of your specific situation. I would definitely give him the information you provided here.

I have recently had a cataract removed from my left eye and a lens implant (power 13.5D). Since the surgery I have had a lot of floaters and my vision seems to be getting worse. I have a catarct in my right eye and also will be needing surgery shortly for it. I am concerned about having these same problems with my right eye as I have with my left eye.
Sometimes I also see flashes of light when my eyes are shut.
Is there anything that can be done to save my eye sight?
I am 47 and had surgery to treat tears in my retina in May. Upon going back for routine checkups I was treated in the office with a laser in a few other areas of my eye. Now I have blurred vision in my treated eye which i'm told is scar tissue building up. I have a high astigmastism and am near sighted. Plus my father had detached retinas so there is family history.
Q: could botox injections around my brow have caused my retina to deteriorate? Is it safe to resume?
Hello
When I was about 15 years old I decided to get contacts. After having contacts for a year my left eye got an infection and I noticed my left eyelid was swollen. I was given antibiotic drops and I think I was on them for about a month and it made my swollen eyelid and the infection go away and I was back on contacts again.
