A female friend, 75 years old, recently had cataract surgery. The surgery on her right eye went wonderfully. She returned one week later to get the same surgery on her left eye. Something went terribly wrong but can it possibly be connected to the surgery?
The night of the surgery she experienced sever eye pain and watering. Two days later, blood started pouring from her nose and mouth. She went to the emergency room where they witnessed this.
I suggest to them about having surgery either laser or the sonar that breaks them up but they say no. I have also tried various home remedies and everything but nothing seems to work and lately the pain is back and its interfering with my job. Is there anything to do or any doctor in the NYC region that can actually do something?
The metacril in the bottom lip has now turned into hard bumps, which I think was the result of going and having my teeth whitened afterwards and the Zoom laser hitting that area so long. Has anyone else had experience with metacril? Any recommended plastic surgeons in the Dallas area I can go to and follow up with this issue? Thanks!
I did everything and even went to Laser Spine Institute for relief. I had surgery on my neck and lower back in July. I still have pain and have pain in my two fingers. My scapula is the main problem which is in right shoulder. Diagnos with a winging scapula. What can I do for treatment for winging scapula's??
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.
hello, i am almost 31 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed at 25 weeks with central serous retinopathy. i have been seeing a retina specialist here in nyc for the past almost 8 weeks. some days it seems better, some worse. i am getting really concerned as to why it has not resolved yet. does anyone think that this is direclty related to the pregnancy? do you recommend doing the laser while still pregnant? do you think i will ever see clearly again? so frustrated...
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?
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.

I'm 20 and was diagnosed last November with endometriosis after having a cyst rupture while at work. I had a lot of cysts removed from my ovaries Via davinci assisted surgery. I've tried birth control with no luck, and most recently I've been on norethindrone 10mg a day and again am still having constant bleeding. What are the odds that the cysts have come back already in April? How many surgeries did you have?
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.

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.
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?
His right eye was fixed. But the surgery on his left eye (laser) only made the eye worse. He was 6 years old then. Now he's 27 years old, living in Boston where he's a associate symphony conductor. He just got his doctorate in music. The this is he was visiting recently and his eye is worse. He doesn't use it anymore and it 'droops'. He's 6' tall and very handsome. But I feel terrible that his eye is stopping its function.
I have a dense cataract in one eye and I was told that laser-assisted surgery may be better to help "break" it down instead of traditional. I've seen mixed research between the two; however, are there any shown benefits of laser over traditional cataract surgery? As in is it worth to pay out of pocket for it?
What you are experiencing is one of the side effects of laser surgery. You should follow up your eye doctor with regards to your eye condition and he will give you prescription eye drops to prevent infection, inflammation and to prevent your eyes from drying. Blurry and hazy vision is also normal after a day of your surgery. But eventually, you will notice some improvements within a few days.
For now, it is very important to revisit your eye doctor for an evaluation.
Hi ValveJob, just wanted to comment on your potential cataract surgery.
As a fellow myope who's axial lengths are also over 30mm, I've read a lot about the difficulty of cataract surgery for patients like us.
I can't remember if I've commented before on this, but wanted to make sure you are aware of the option in cataract surgery between 'traditional' methods of cataract extraction and the 'laser' method.
