Avatar m tn I will be having cataract surgery and have a choice of with or with-out laser-assisted surgery. Am I likely to have a better outcome using the laser? It will cost more. Thanks!
Avatar f tn The clinic that I plan to go to has the newer IOLs such as the Tecnis multifocals as well as surgeons offering to bring in the Symfony before next month. However, the clinic policy is that laser-assisted cataract surgery is mandatory with premium lenses and it isn't optional to have it done via the standard method. They only say "they want to provide the most accurate and best treatment possible". The cost ranges from $1495.00 per eye to $3295.
Avatar m tn My fear is when l have the YAG Laser Capsulotomy the laser might move my lens implant and l might go from not needing glasses for distance to needing to wear glasses for distance.
177275 tn?1511755244 In an Editorial by Esteemed ophthalmologist Randy Olson MD University of Utah Dr. Olson concludes that additional benefit to standard cataract surgery is unproven with femtosecond laser technology. This is a quote from it: "So we have Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery, this new technology that has shown steady improvement and that many support.
Avatar n tn To deal with adhesions the best is to wait after surgery until it heals and start body rolling. You can see my journal about it of you can can google "Yamuna Body Rolling" There is also a place called "Clear Passage Therapy" which helps break up scar tissue and combat Endo naturally. The body rolling is cheaper and has almost the same effect. When was your last surgery? Was excision done? Where you put on anything to stop your periods from coming to reduce the pain?
Avatar m tn Not sure if this is a eye question or neuro question, but my father had major bypass surgery 12 days ago and after the surgery woke up completely blind. He can see no light. The surgery lasted about 9 hours but the doctors here are stumped and have never had this happen before. They went back through the records and talked to the anestia and neurolist and the only thing they think he might have is ishmthic optic neaurpathy, and that we would just have to wait and see if his sight comes back.
Avatar m tn Hi l think l have around ten or more eye floaters for past 15 years , probably slowly getting more over time, they started when l was around 35 . Most of them are the transparent type and a few black dot type that sort of look like moving flies. The transparent floaters dont bother me much although l would prefer they were not there, its the black dot floaters l hate, especaiily one in my left eye in central vision, if l could just get rid of that single black dot floater l would be happy.
Avatar n tn m not so sure of the validity and reliability of this article. However, other journal articles published in the AJO and BJO (American Journal of Opthalmology and British Journal of Opthalmology, respectively) also vouch for the approximately 10-30% rate of fellow eyes detaching. Also, IMO you seem to have many risk factors that put you in greater danger of suffering a detachment in the fellow eye .

Avatar f tn No questins here. I just had Laser surgery yesterday, performed by Dr. Vosoghi. I have been in his care for approximately one month and could not be more impressed. Demeanor is professional, chairsidemanner so kind, highly educated and knowledgable, and I do not think I could be in beter hands. If you need a specialist, and you are within traveling distance of his offices, I highly recommend him.

Avatar m tn Go to my home page and look at Journal Postings and read the onces about age related macular degeneration and be sure you are doing everything to prevent progression. You said you had cataract surgery in both eyes you did not say you had yag laser capsulotomy. If you have not you may need it; if you have its very unusual to need a second time and you should see your Eye MD ophthalmologist to see if the AMD has got worse.

Avatar n tn My question is, as I am so shortsighted, is it OK to have the Laser Cataract Surgery? I ask this because the Laser Cataract Surgery is said to be less traumatic to the eye. I wonder if Dr John C Hagan III could answer this question, as I know his son also works in his practice and he is a retinal expert? Also do you fit the New nanoflex IOL?
Avatar f tn The U-shaped tear is also called a Horshoe Tear. If retina doc is recommending laser (aka "barrier laser" to form a barrier of laser around the tear), then I'd do it. Sure, there are risks. Nothing is risk free, but the risk of not treating is much much higher than the risk of doing the procedure. Sincerely, Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.
10175753 tn?1408314528 Can a lens put in after cataract surgery be replaced if damaged during laser procedure?
Avatar n tn Time will tell if this is superior to current standard cataract surgery. The femtosecond laser is being used to make the cataract incision into the eye, the capsule opening in the lens (capsulorhexis), and to soften the cataract. Then the phaco/aspiration portion of the lens removal is the same as standard cataract surgery.
Avatar m tn the doctor said that i need to have a laser operation of my nose in which he was going to burn my inferior turbinate to open the opening of the nostril so that my sinus drains properly.. my mom wanted to consult another doctor when the nose congestion started and the dizziness started . the other doctor said the same as the first doctor but he said there was no need of an operation . he gave me a nasal spray (Flixorase) and an anti allergy..
177275 tn?1511755244 I would be curious how the risks compare to laser surgery, since an article this month suggests corneal refractive may increase the risk of cataracts as well: http://www.eyeworld.
Avatar n tn http://www.about-eyes.com/laser-assisted-cataract-surgery-and-risk-of-macular-swelling/ "Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery and Risk of Macular Swelling" His skepticism matches the reports I've seen of large scale studies over the last year or so indicating that laser cataract surgery so far merely has been shown to have different complications than non-laser surgery overall (which are rare in both types), and hasn't proven its benefits overall yet for most patients.
Avatar m tn One week after laser surgery I started having arc or circle shaped flashes in treated eye. These were not present before surgery. It then increased in frequency for next 2-3 days and now the frequency started decreasing. Can someone explain this phenomenon? and how these flashes developed after surgery?
