I had my mac-on retina re-attachment surgery on 23 may (Left eye) .2 week After the surgery, my vision is 20/50 ( with glasses), with white blindspot near central vision but no waviness. 1 week later, i had sub-clinical re-detachment, which doctor did a laser treatments to double the laser stitches. However i notice incrimental visual deteritration over-time and on 12 july i notice a waviness, did an OCT and diagnose with macular pucker.
Pressures were 50 and 52 (great story on how I found out). Laser surgery was done but the Eye Dr. did not followup like I have now found out he should have. 2nd Laser surgery was done a month ago. Pressures have come down, but now to where they would like them to be. So they want me to have the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Surgery done. Dr. John Brown is my Dr. at the Minnesota VA Hospital. I have tunnel vision (90% of vision is gone) in the left eye that they want to place the shunt in.
I am a veteran so I go to the VA for my needs, the eye Doctor recommend that I have laser surgery to correct this problem I went ahead and let them do this procedure. When left I wore sun glasses and all I could see wasout of the eye was bright purple as that wore of I could not see at out of my right eye at all. There seems to be blood in there and it is like looking Thur a thin sheet of ice.
I had a vitrectomy, laser and silicone oil treatment of detached retina over a year ago. This has caused a significant cataract to form that needs to be removed. Before the cataract got so severe I was able to be corrected to 20/40. I was wondering if anyone has had a Symfony IOL placed after retinal detachment. I know multifocals are not recommended due to decreased contrast but I believe this issue is not so significant with EDOF IOLs. Any recommendations? Thanks!
I am a 60 yr old female with extensive history of kidney stones since 1978 (before lithotrypsy), recurrent infections & blood in urine. I am prone to both calcium stones & uric acid stones. First kidney stone was size of a walnut & could not pass so was removed by actual surgery. Over the yrs I experienced more stones that would not pass so more surgeries. Have developed scar tissue in both ureters & have had 2 stents. Extreme pain so stent removal.
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.
Just have a check and MD susgest I have a laser surgery due to lattice degeneration, it's not at macular part but upper retina. My current vision is excellent (corrected VA 1.2) except the disturbance at night which can be solved by using color soft contact lens. I have a question that does this kind of laser surgery to prevent future retinal detachment harm, improve/ worsen my night vision starburst?
By the time I arrived at the retina specialist the next morning, it had progressed to the macula. The choice was surgery in 3 days at a facility far away, or in 6 days at one much closer to home. The doctor told me the delay would not affect the outcome, so I opted to wait 6 days. Two days before the surgery, I woke up and surprisingly found that nearly all of my vision had returned, though it was very warped and distorted.
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.
Sincerely,
Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.
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.
