laser

Avatar n tn SLT selective laser trabeculoplasty is roughly the equivalent of one medication. So if you are on 4 types of eye drops and the SLT worked (dropped the IOP on the average 3-4 pts) you might be able to stop one drop but it would not cure the glaucoma. the ON damage and RD relationship would require speculation on my part and I can't answer. My suggestion is to get a second opnion from a glaucoma specialst.
Avatar n tn Some of these being eyedrops, medication and laser surgery. I am interested in the laser surgery because it supposedly unclogs the mechanism (not sure what its called) that carries fluid out of the eye, thus lowering the pressure. What do you find most effective?
Avatar m tn Folks I am considering laser surgery. I have astigmatism. Is it the right thing to do and also which method is best? Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Avatar m tn Hi! I'm 16 years old. I got minus 11 power in my both eyes. Can I undergo a laser surgery to reduce power before 21 years?? If not, then is there any alternative way?
Avatar n tn I don't think there is one best astigmatism-correcting contact for everyone. Toric and RGP contacts both correct astigmatism. A doctor who is experienced at fitting contacts can determine which contact(s) would work for your friend.
Avatar f tn Having a blurry vision after a surgery will be associated with dry eye syndrome, posterior capsular opacification, problems relating to the pupil size, a decentered IOL and many other conditions. The effective treatments include keratorefractive surgery for ametropia, dry eye management, laser modification of the pupil size, YAG capsulotomy for PCO or an IOL exchange for issues intrinsic to the IOL.
Avatar n tn another opthalmologist just told me that i am not suffering from exotrophia, but just an eye power problem. i was told by him that my right eye has a positive number and the right eye goes out of focus towards my ear when m not wearing glasses. he will be able to reduce it to normal by laser. i would like to know how much could be the success chance in my case and does the laser have major side effects?
Avatar m tn So is there any chance that say laser surgery for example could reproduce what the specs lens adds to my vision or is laser eye surgery too coarse to give me my specs lens prescription without overcorrecting?
600409 tn?1219747198 hello! i have recently heard from an ophtalmologist about the possibility of implanting a multifocal crystallin on top of a monofocal one. There is no need for the removal of the multifocal crystallin. Do you think this could be a solution in my case?
Avatar f tn Two nights ago woke up from sleep in middle of night with terrible headache on my left side about the eye I had the laser surgery. The headache went away shortly after getting up for the day. Last night as soon as I laid down to bed I got the bad headache in the same place along with eye pain in my left eye. I took two aspirins to ease the pain. They eased the headache, but not the eye pain. I have been up for four hours and still have eye discomfort.
Avatar f tn a few years earlier, i had LASIK for near vision in my right eye and for far vision in my left, stronger eye. The right cataract surgery went well. the left eye was not clear like the right, immediately noticeable. i was not given the lens case afterwards for the left eye and wondered if it was possible the wrong scrip was used. how would i find out short of cutting open the incision and retreiving the lens? the dr. then used a laser he said would sharpen my vision some.
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 im sick of being prodded in the eye. Could it be that trauma to the eye from surgery is causing the glaucoma.Any chance the pressure will settle in time without any intervention. My eyes look a lot better alighned but i wish i hadnt had the surgery done maybe i wouldnt have this glaucoma condition! should have just left them alone.
Avatar n tn t get good vision at any distance with any IOL,) Are you saying that you need cataract surgery in your left eye only, and your left eye is now very nearsighted? In this case, glasses won't work for you after your left is done. You would have to wear a contact lens in your right eye all the time. In your situation, I'd choose to have my right eye done sooner (rather than later.
1260255 tn?1288654564 You definitely need to proceed with either laser iridotomies or cataract surgery (if you have visually significant cataracts, this is an option that will deepen the angle). Laser is safe and has a few potential side effects that less than 5% of people get (discuss with your surgeon). If you have an attack, it could lead to permanent irreversible damage to your eye. Good luck.
Avatar n tn The consultant ophthalmic surgeon, who is well qualified, did all the various tests etc and I was told because I had previous eye laser surgery for distance that I would have a 2 out of 3 chance of the operation being successful and therefore that he would only consider mono vision IOL, one for distance and one for near. I did have a short trial of wearing daily contact lens, one short and one long sighted but did not like the result.
Avatar m tn I have up until now, corrected my vision through contact lens and specs having been told that laser or any surgery is out of the question mainly due to the Foster-Fuch spots. However, recently I was given hope that perhaps LASIK laser surgery might be possible. However the specialist clinic i was being referred to advised that the highest myopia they have treated was -16.00 and that was 4.00 about the safety parameter.
Avatar n tn laser and cryo both work. Your surgeon will recommend what he/she feels best. For the eye its major surgery, not like a scleral buckle but still not a tiffle.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I had cataract surgery with ACRY Sof IQ IOL by Alcon implanted in my bad right eye on 1/23/012, 20/20 vision post surgery, with no issue, a year later same surgeon said he can easily take care of the secondary cataract in my right eye, with laser surgery in his office, now 19 months later, I am deliberating the pros and cons of YAG laser capsulotomy, and found this in depth article by New York Times about cataract surgery, if it was available two years ago, at the time when I was researching b
Avatar f tn m just quit anxious about my appointment and I wad also wondering if the optometrist can do laser surgery and if I do have laser surgery how long would it take to build scar tissue and would it be safe to go on rides?
Avatar n tn Most recently (this year) I had laser on my other eye to repair a small detachment and tears, and because the surgeon intended to do everything possible to seal off the problem, I was given an injection of anesthetic in my eye before the laser. In other words, the surgeon anticipated that the laser could cause pain. I do have lattice but was treated with laser only when tears/holes appeared. I hope by now your pain is gone!
