Avatar n tn SUBJECT: 39 YEAR OLD MALE WITH LIFE LONG HISTORY OF MYOPIA BEFORE CORRECTION: (LEFT: -11.25/-4.25/065. RIGHT: -8/-2.25/120) EYE HISTORY: • Left eye: 1998 had a retinal detachment fixed with vitrectomy, a scleral buckle, and extensive laser. Two retinal tears 2000 and 2002. A crystalens was implanted in 2006 due to cataract. I’ve had 3 Avistan injections for bleeding on a scar/ pouch left behind from the detachment on my macula. Vision has stabilized at 20/60, with no central vision.
Avatar m tn Not likely to leave a permanent scar on the eye.
Avatar n tn I suppose this progression is due to inappropriate glasses that I am wearing ( lenses are -6.5 for both eyes). Cornea thickness is 566-574. I am planning to do laser correction. After the check-up at the eye clinic I was told that I can do any type of laser correction. My questions are: 1. Is my myopia still progressing? If yes, is laser correction allowed? 2. Can the progression in my myopia be due to inappropriate glasses and will it stop after laser correction? 3.
Avatar m tn Both told me that my cornea was thin (500 rt eye, 480 lf eye). One location only did Laser vision correction and is a chain that does Lasik throughout the country. They said my cornea was border line but they would do the all laser Lasik (Intralase). The other location (does multiple facets of eye care) said that my cornea calls for Microkeratome to expose the inner cornea - then remove the 1st layer - perform the surgery and let it grow back.
Avatar n tn As posted before, after cataract surgery in April, my right eye went from -8.5 to -1.0 with 20/40 vision (great, considering ERM and corneal HSV scar). After 3 or 4 days, vision dropped to 20/70 and monocular diplopia appeared. The toric lens is perfectly centred but its cylinder power of 2.25 D corrected only .7 D of my astigmatism which is now 1.5 D.
Avatar n tn t stabilized). Since laser correction is permanent they usually tend to be more cautious and wait longer before using that. The effective lens power is depends on both the power of a lens and its location. It sounds like they predicted the lens would be at a different location, so it is the wrong lens power for where the lens wound up settling.
Avatar m tn Is there anyone who could give me information about laser vision correction, I'm not interested in info from the internet, I'm looking for someone who has the experience with that. What were the results? Were there any side effects such as headache?
Avatar n tn Laser may be more expensive and they may require more sessions for effective results. This depends on the extent and depth of the scar. For small scars, then Laser may be helpful. Microdermabrasion may even help. How large is this scar?
Avatar n tn t take my word for as you need to look into this surgery on your own by talking with your surgeon and getting literature and also utilizing websites sponsored by the laser company you are using for your correction.
Avatar m tn During implant of Rezoom lens for catarract surgery, my doctor did relaxing incisions to correct the astigmatism in left eye which said was a 5. That was June 27th, '07. Since then he has done one laser correction in his office to "fine tune" the astigmatism problem, and it looks like he will have to do that at least one more time. The eye is improving but very slowly and he seems confident it will be fine in time. I'm having the other eye done next week. March 12 '08.
Avatar m tn I wear glasses. Doc said that when I get old enough I can go to a laser surgery.I heard that this surgery has a few risks. What risks?
Avatar m tn ) Using laser to fix the thin area will form a scar in the retinal. How long will it takes to recover ? Will there any side effect to the vision after the treatment 2) How successful will this treatment to avoid to the thin area to form tears. 3) In general, do people do the laser treatment to fix thin area or rather wait until there are tear is formed. Will successful rate will be higher will the laser is done earlier.
Avatar f tn My question is how much longer could this scar continue to thin or clear up? I will see my Dr again this week and and believe he will note improvement as I believe I see better today than I did 6 weeks ago. Is it time to look to KTP or other form of correction, or just let nature take her course?
Avatar m tn Lasik or femtosecond laser correction of astigmatism is more predictable the scalpel corneal surgery JC MD
Avatar m tn when checked with an eye specialist he told me like a small weak point/ hole formed in the outer edge of my retina which can be cured by a small laser correction. Photocoagulation is the process he mentioned. Even though doctor said its painless I heard from those who had it previously that it's a bit painful. Kindly let me know what i heard is correct or is there any other option for the same. Is it not possible to numb my eye before doing the same ?
Avatar n tn I have a scar on my penis aroud the area of the foreskin. Im circumsized and have had no issues in the past. It was caused from friction in my earlier days as a kid masturbating. My new girlfriend asked my about it has becoame a bit of a mental issue........ Is there any creams or treatments you could reccomend to take away some of the visabilty?
Avatar n tn your link just said that the CO2 laser works really well with great cosmetic results. That laser, CO2 laser, is a relatively new laser, and does have a wide range of conditions that it can treat. Though there are numerous other lasers that can be used. Going for surgery may only cause more scar tissue growth and leave a similar marking on the lip. Talk to your doctor about your options and then decide from there.
Avatar n tn Lasik or Lasek laser vision correction will generally at best give you the best vision that you are able to get with glasses or contacts. In other words, it is an alternative for glasses or contacts in certain people but not a cure for diseased eyes - as a general rule. There are some situations with certain corneal diseases where the vision after laser vision correction can outperform the previous vision with glasses or contacts.
