Avatar n tn Hi, I had cataract surgery in August 09. because of bleeding it became an emergency case. The retina became detached. With laser it was re-attached. after a month the retina was cracked ' With more surgery to fix that with laser. Now I am blind in the one eye because of scar tissue in the center of the retina I can see my hand in front of my eye but not clearly because a new lense has not been inserted.

Avatar n tn He suggested using laser to remove the scar tissue in my left eye first. After a month, the vision in my left eye was somewhat blurred. I went back to him and he told me the scar tissue "flap" didn't fall down as planned. He advised me to wait another (6) weeks to see if the "flap" falls away. The alternative is an operation to remove the scar tissue.

Avatar m tn ve had a series of surgeries (buckle, gas bubble, silicone oil, laser, etc.). I developed a cataract and some scar tissue due to the multiple surgeries. The scar tissue that was on the retina has some how detached and is now floating around in my eye. My surgeon has suggested that we remove the cataract and suction out the scar tissue at the same time. Will this cause the retina to detach again? WIll the scar tissue floating around cause an issue?

Avatar m tn This cut was stitched - badly initially, and then a few years later it was redone (as it was very protuding and a bit lumpy looking), with slightly better results - but I still have a pronounced scar and scar tissue. What are my options here? Are fraxel or laser a possiblity to smooth this protuding scar or will this need surgery?
Avatar m tn Upon the dilated exam the new doctor said he saw the scar tissue from the previous repair and it looked like a tear with the scar tissue surrounding it. The new doctor said he did not know if it was something new or just from the previous laser repairs. I have an appt. with my retinal surgeon tomorrow. My question is how do they actually repair retinal tears with lasers? Do they laser the actual hole or just around it? Does the laser repairs impair ones vision?
Avatar n tn After aproximately 18 days after the accident my lip was healed farely well. A small scar and some hard scar tissue was all that remained.

This swollenness has been apparent for 4 days. What could this be? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have had several eye injections and have been treated with various drops, now only using durezol. My eye pressure is high due to scar tissue which seems to be medication related. My opthalmologist wants to do a procedure with laser, (also I have a cataract which is medication related) but he has vacilated between doing the laser versus removing the cataract. He seems to be very worried that I will have a secondary infection post op which could lead to some disastrous consequences..

Avatar n tn It's been quite a few years since I was diagnosed with genital warts and the doc prescribed an acid treatment. I worked pretty well and got rid of my warts after about a month. I belive i did get some scar tissue on the underside of my penis near the tip where i was circumsized. I went to a doctor about a month ago to see if i was getting another outbreak but she believed it was just scar tissue but prescribed a cream just in case.

Avatar n tn Hello, I had cataract surgery in Feb. All went well,but I have delvoloped scar tissue. It was worse in my right eye, the doctor suggested laser. We did that last tuesday, it made it worse than before. What can be done to correct it, if anything? I have a feeling he will want to put me in glasses. What are my rights? Will it be my responsibilty for payment to correct it. I have an appointment tomorrow for the other eye. I will refuse to have the laser if this is all i can expect.
Avatar m tn You could seek out the expertise of a very skilled retinal surgeon, who should be able to remove the scar tissue. However, the surgery may pose more risks than gains. Depending on the extent of the scar tissue having surgery may either cause another RD or you could suffer nerve damage. At this point if the retina is attached from an anatomical standpoint your case is considered a success.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back? Thanks!
