wrinkles

Avatar f tn People often see floaters after surgery and grey hair and wrinkles they could not see before the surgery. Read the section in wikipedia.
Avatar f tn Later, a pseudohole developed. Even with the gray (yellow, red, or black) area in the visual field, (color changes with light or background), I could read 20/20 to 20/30, with diffifulty moving head to overcome the distortions. Recently my vision has worsened and now I can barely read anything, even large signs, as the grey area has enlarged. My doctor told me these wrinkles hardly even worsened, and that mine was annoying, but not bad enough for surgery.
Avatar f tn "retina hardware" are buckles, sleeves, exoplants, stitched that are used in the surgery. One of the frequent posters here, JodieJ I believe, had pain that persisted and was repeatedly told there was nothing wrong, as I recall she went to another retina surgeonthat identified an exposed stitch, removed it and the pain went away. The fact that genteal helps indicates the problem is like on the surface of the eye.
Avatar f tn You have to go to the following websites. http***************** http***************** the best resource You'll find on what is going on with us. I had the laser surgery by Dr. karickhoff in 2004 and it changed my life ! The "floaters" completely disintegrated. They are all gone, however, I still see "clouds" and what I call " wrinkles" . When you have PVD, think of it like a bubble gum bubble deflating.
Avatar f tn Epiretinal membranes can occur even in the absence of cataract surgery, and fortunately can be treated with a vitrectomy and membrane peeling. If the vision in the eye is very poor because of the macular distortion, and you are not able to function because of it, I think the vitrectomy is worth considering. You need to see a retinal specialist for an evaluation.
1932338 tn?1349220398 Can they accidently inject into the vessel in that region where there would be a risk of it travelling to the retina? How would I know what to watch for when they inject so that I know if they are risking hitting a vessel? Thank you in advance, I think these answers will help others on this forum too.
607284 tn?1224793302 One of the first was when they put in a gas bubble, and I was told that I could not fly on an airplane, because of the decompression/air or altitude in the airplane,. The Doctor was very serious about this and said that the bubble could burst and and then I would have major problems. If I were you, even though the tanning bed is not the same thing as an airplane, I would be wary of doing anything that is not normal while the gas bubble is still in.
Avatar f tn Now he is not able to see completely. He had a check of the retina. The report says that there is a cut in the retina. Due to the same, he also has cataract. Doctor, please suggest any remedial operation to save the eye of my brother. Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
Avatar n tn This is because topical use may induce severe local erythema and peeling at the site of application. Check with your doctor for proper management with the wrinkles that is best for you. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn The exact cause is not known, but it is suspected to be related to the forward movement of the gel inside the posterior segment of the eye. The gel (vitreous) is attached in the back to the retina and as it comes forward it pulls away from where it is attached to the retina and sets up an inflammatory reaction that allows the tiny blood vessels to leak fluid into the layers of the retina. Sometimes there is another identifiable cause. For example, something went wrong in the surgery..
Avatar f tn Do you know the name of the research study that I believe is in its third phase that is an enzyme that treats floaters in the eye?
344352 tn?1605238012 bot they just started to change form about 1 month ago. went to the retina specialist 2X in the past month out of concern and he said the retina was fine and that he sees the clumps of vitreous gel floating....everything looked normal...will they ever change again where its not clouding up the vision?
Avatar n tn Hello i am a high myope and recently i had amsler grid and turns that in the left bottom of my right eye i see a blind spot... the doctor diagnosed me something like choroid Atrophic Spot... what is this.. is curable, it goes away on its own or it can get worsen.. please hel.. it doesent affect my vision but it is just bothering me... and i am scared it can happen in other vision areas....
601038 tn?1240252893 My mother has a very rare desease that makes her neck shake all the time. She takes botox injections in her neck and it helps a lot but it's for medical reasons. Im waiting for them to come out with a new study saying how bad it is. I figure if I get wrinkles I earned them, no big deal. Some people are so vane.
Avatar m tn I noticed immediately a rise in the skin and I could hear the tissue separating. It sounded like the release of Velcro tape. This is because when extra skin had formed, it resulted much like scar tissue under the skin. This created fibers that are attached very tightly to the skull. This technique is a slow process and has to be done multiple times but it’s painless and convenient. I will post again to see if the procedure is worth it.
Avatar f tn Generally if the retina is going to detach there are symptoms such as increase of floaters, bright flashes of light and possibly loss of peripheral vision. If you had those you should have reported to the cataract surgeons office. But that is water under the bridge. You have a very serious problem these are my suggestions: 1. Your most important eye is the one that has not had the retinal detachment (RD).
Avatar n tn How are you? Here are some tips on wrinkle prevention and anti wrinkle products reviewed from this link: http://www.wrinklereview.com/prevention.html Do not smoke because smoking exposes your skin to all those damaging free radicals. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the "danger hours" when UV light is at its peak (10 am to 4 pm). Always wear sunscreen on your face when going outside in the sunlight.
Avatar f tn PVD is like a picnic compared to some of the changes that can happen in high myopes. There is a spike in legal blindness after the age 60 in high myopes. This is a reasonably consistent statistic and there is no getting around it. I suggest you have a full dilated retina exam now and regular check ups. Also I would advise daily monitoring with an Amsler Grid to check for macular changes.
Avatar n tn It did not penetrate the eye globe, but created a huge shockwave that caused massive vitreous herrmohage. By the time I was in the AE, I was only able to see hand motions but it cleared up quickly within 2 hours. There were no other structural damage. Vision were slightly blurry but completely cleared up in a week. After 7 days I started to see flashes around the upper right peripheral vision, which is also the area of the injury.
Avatar f tn I put steroid drops in for a month, then had a kenalog treatment in Octber. This did not work either. In November I had an Avitstan shot in the eyeball and was told if this did not work, there was nothing else that can be done. Unfortunately, this shot has not helped at all. Do I have other options? I have not given up hope yet!, but can no longer drive at night due to large halos around all lights. Please respond. Thank you!
Avatar m tn i recently accidently produced wrinkles under my eyes from trying to rub soap out of my eyes in the shower, the soap , and i tried getting it out in the shower by rubbing my eyes because they were stinging and since soap on skin creates a lot of friction i discovered i got wrinkles the next day and the skin under my eyes its a bit more corse than usual. i must of stretched the fibres of my skin im only 20.
Avatar n tn Also, using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 during the day or during prolonged exposure to the sun may help reduce wrinkles. Drink plenty of water and use only a mild facial cleanser such as Cetaphil over the face.
Avatar n tn , which means that the doctor uses a special metal probe to push on your eye so that the peripheral retina can be viewed in detail. This examination could allow the doctor to detect early tears in the retina which can be treated with laser, thereby preventing a retinal detachment. You are at greater risk for retinal detachment based on the history of trauma.
Avatar m tn Okay well i had unprotected sex with a girl and my penis started getting itchy and the foreskin was swollen from the inside and i started getting wrinkles on the glans and one of the wrinkles turned into like a circle that stings every once in a while but its only getting bigger it doesnt hurt alot just sometimes. I think i have a yeast infection but this circle worries me the most, and i started getting small sores in my.
