Avatar m tn I am 29 years old, highly myopic, and night-blind. I received several laser treatments on both eyes for last four years. Fortunately, my retina was not detached completely and I didn't get any real surgery but just lasering. My field of view was not affected by the treatment and the life is just like before. The last treatment was about 8 months ago and my doctor said it's good so far about 2 months ago. However, I did not do enough exercise since the first treatment (4 years!
Avatar f tn Two weeks ago I blew out my knee playing sports and had arthroscopic surgery. They discussed risks including knee might never work right again, infection, bleeding and small risk of death under anesthesia. I signed on the dotted line. That's the way it works. They were honest and forthright. I'm doing fantastic and my knee is almost back to normal.

Avatar f tn For my two with disk disease, (One has had the surgery, the other I chose not to), Acupuncture with laser makes an incredible difference!!! Neither dog takes any prescription pain management, just joint supplements & prescribed herbs for backs......I got the one that had the surgery (He was paralyzed) feeling so good, he tore an ACL and had to have it repaired! ;) He still runs like the wind, jumps & plays.....His back surgery was 5 years ago, his knee was repaired 2 yrs. ago........
1123156 tn?1338863369 if you can afford it i suggest the laser treatments. im actually going tomorrow for my first session. at MY place they are $100 to $150 per session and you need 2-5 sessions depending on how bad they are and how many you have. they won't be completely gone but they will fade to the point where you can't see them. they also have a different laser that can change their texture...and almost get rid of the indentions that stretch marks make.

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 f tn ve had sclerotherapy several times with varying degrees of success. Two years ago I underwent the new form of surgery with the laser to remove more of my large protruding veins. My question is, how many veins can be removed, destroyed before I don't have enough left? And why do they keep popping out? It seems like I just get things to look relatively normal and a bunch more show up.

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 n tn If you do go to physical therapy ask for a therapist that has a cold laser machine it helps me. First they did a surgery to just free the nerve, and it did not work so 6 months later I had fusion done, thats when I started getting better.
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 m tn A pneumatic bubble injected injected by the RS Aug. 28th. On Sept. 6th, I had indirect laser surgery (90 bursts) to reinforce the reattached retina. Then about a week later I noticed what I thought was an increased level of cloudiness/haziness and large floaters and called the RS's office. His partner was scheduled to be at my local Eye Crae Clinic two days later so my RS scheduled me to be seen by him then (Sept 13).
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 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 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 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?
