does laser surgery hurt

I recently had laser surgery for three retinal tears, then, three weeks later when I returned for a checkup, had more surgery when my opthamologist found a fourth tear. Both surgeries were quite painful and both were performed without any kind of anesthesia. Is this standard procedure? This discussion is related to Eyes: Laser correction for Retinal Tear - Post Op Limitiations.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with condyloma lesions (low risk) on my biopsy report and got a laser surgery to remove it. According to my gynocologist, it is flat on the surface of my vulva. However, I have 2 questions. 1. What should I expect post-laser surgery? I feel a lot of pain right now and feel like my skin in the treated area is being torn. There is a burning/stinging feeling and it continues to hurt even after I put on the antibiotic ointment. Is this normal?

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.

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?

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?

There is one private clinic that does femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. The other one does not, but it is much more convenient. When I asked my RS about the femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, he basically said that it is the skill of the surgeon that counts in either way of doing cataract surgery. He admitted that it probably is the wave of the future.

My laser treatment - surgery - is planned for January. Has anyone had laser surgery for genital warts removal before? I am worried about the scarring and the recovery part of the surgery. My Dr. said I would be in bed for about 15 days following the surgery, and that it would take about 1 month to heal completely. I've heard about horror stories... bad scarring... tissue sticking together... skin not being the same afterwards, and complicated intercourse following the surgery.

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.

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.

I have had floaters all of my life. I was extremely myopic, as a matter of fact, I was almost blind! My eyeglasses were thick as Coke bottles bottoms. Then I was diagnosed with cataracts. I had the surgery done, but first I had some laser surgery to fix my retinas (I don't even remember what the problem was) but, anyways, about 8 months after the cataract removal, I started losing vision on my right eye, like overnight. It was scary. But I had Yag laser (didn't hurt) and I was fine.

If your laser surgery repaired the retinal tear, then you are lucky. I had laser surgery to repair my retinal tear, and it didn't work, so I had to have a buckle and vitrechtomy surgery which is much more complicated and difficult to recover from than laser. If I were you I wouldn't be so quick to exercise and I would wait at least six months before I exercised with Doctor's permission.

I had cold laser surgery and the had a blk cup over the eye under both lids to protect the rest of face from laser? Does anyone in the field know what its called?

I just had Retinal Laser surgery in both eyes. I was given numbing drops in both eyes as well as an injection of numbing meds. Certain areas of my eye during treatment were absolutely unbearable. My Dr. said in so many words I was crazy as "there are no nerve receptors in the eye". We actually argued about it because he simply didn't believe I truly had any pain. As the procedure continued, he lowered the power/strength on the laser, I noticed it completely lessoned the pain.

I was diagnosed with acute narrowing glaucome and has laser surgery in both eyes to correct it. The laser surgeon told me that it would never return. I was taking an anti-depressant at the time (Cymbalta) and it was believed that was what caused the problem. It has been about 18 months since then. I am trying to quit smoking and was put on Wellbutrin about 2 weeks ago. Now, today my right eye hurts. It is the same kind of hurt as before - very distinctive kind of pain.

I had Laser barrier surgery two days ago during an appointment with my Retina specialist. They told me right as they were examining my eyes that it NEEDED to be done. Now I notice that when I am staring straight or if I look up there is a blacked-out area in the lower left side and bottom of my eye/visual field. Can laser barrier surgery cause more harm than good? I have another appointment in 6 weeks for another OCT scan and laser barrier surgery in my left eye.
