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 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 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!
Avatar m tn Laser coagulation of retina was done prior to cataract surgery of one eye, since there were small tears or holes in that eye. Prior to laser coagulation there were no symptoms, but 2 days after that flashes started. They went down in frequency and cataract surgery was done after 5 weeks. Flashes started again after 3 days and went down but come occasionally even after 11 months.
Avatar n tn I have had two episodes of bleeding behind the retina since having laser surgery for catarac removal with lens? and is it dangerous?
Avatar f tn Nuclear Nonsenile Cataract OU-Stable Progressive High (degenerative) Myopia OU-Stable Cataract, Cortical OS-Stable Posterior Subcapsular Polar Nonsenile Cataract OU-Stable Regular Astigmatism OU-Stable Cystoid Macular Degeneration Of Retina OU-Stable Retinoschisis Unspecified OU-New (since this is rare in females I have to undergo more tests to confirm it is the juvenile x-linked form) This is everything I have been diagnosed with.
Avatar n tn I had laser surgery on my left eye 10 days ago. I had cataract surgery on the same eye about 2 weeks before that. I have had blurry vision with floaters since the laser surgery. It really wasn't too bad after the cataract surgery. I was wondering how long it should take for my vision to clear up? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/373085'>Floaters after cataract surgery</a>.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn (1) Would capsulotomy tend to decrease refraction within the eye (increase focal length) and thereby reduce the amount of negative correction presently needed? (2) Would you suggest that I undergo surgery on the left eye in the near future and defer it for the right one -- or, would you suggest that surgery be performed on both eyes in the near future during one session? Postscript: Overall, I believe that monovision was a good choice.
Avatar n tn 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?
1539436 tn?1292869871 I got very excited about the idea but before i take a step, could you please advice me if my age is the ryt age to get a laser eye surgery, as my aunt warned me of my age to be very young. she advised me to be atleast 24+.
Avatar m tn Sometimes surgery is required to remove blood (to see better) and to do more laser inside of the eye during surgery. Most patients though could be managed with injections of a medication into the eye (anti VEGF therapy) every 4-6 weeks and laser once there is an adequate view to perform more laser.
Avatar m tn had retina detachments in both eyes - left eye had 3 detachments 5 operations leaving me with 2400 vision - right eye has one detachment repaired 2+ years ago - now have scar tissue in that eye from cataract surgery which accompanied my retina surgery.
Avatar f tn m extremely nervous about letting anyone do surgery on them again. What are the possible cons of having the laser surgery? I was told it could stop the damage but not repair damage already done. That sounds good. But what possible negative affect could the surgery do? I have known two people close to me that had these surgeries and truly didn't benefit from them that I could tell. I'm truly perplexed about it all. I have severe dry eye that is causing severe sensitivity to light.
Avatar n tn I had that problem following eye surgery. In some cases, this type of staining can be permanent--but don't worry, I have a solution for you. Google "candela laser" to find the company's website. You'll find a small-scale study in which the AlexTriVantage laser successfully removed "permanent" hemosiderin stains. (This is the same laser used to remove tattoos.
Avatar n tn 3 weeks after laser surgery I still have loads of floaters in left eye, with a haze. Are these normal side effects of laser surgery ? And will they go away? It is disturbing my vision.
Avatar m tn I had cateract surgery about two years ago. My left eye is ok but my right eye has lost some vision. My eye doctor told me today that I could have my right eye lasered. Do you know what this procedure involves? Thank you.
Avatar f tn The problem, fuor weeks ago,while on the job driving an 18 wheeler,my right eye became blurry andI was seeing spidery vision[ ive had cataric surgery in this eye almost 3 years ago].My eye dr.has been watching this since that day, he says I have a vitreous hemmorhage,and it will drain by itself in time.Do I need surgery or would it help? Would it be advantagous to wait or try to get a surgeon?
Avatar f tn I have had two laser surgeries and one trabeculectomy on the same eye. No surgeries were done on the other eye. After each surgery, my floater content increased. This was contrary to the eye doctors' comments that such changes would not occur. The other eye, in my same baby boomer body, has never had floaters. My research on the net indicates there is a possibility of vitreous change after laser treatments.
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 Dear tina287, Laser surgery to create a tiny hole in the iris is a rapid procedure which may prevent an attack of narrow angle glaucoma. Sometimes, the shape of one’s eye, makes them susceptible to an attack of narrow angle glaucoma despite normal vision and pressure presently. I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD about why a laser iridotomy was recommended. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.
Avatar m tn After a look , he told me I had pressure in my left eye. My left eye vision was very good--better than my right eye. With my consent he immediatly applied laser treatment a few times. One of the laser shots made me cringe backwards from the pain I felt. The catract operation on my right eye, the weaker eye, was successful, and my vision improved. However the vision in my left eye became weaker with foglike obstraction.
Avatar m tn Hi, Dr John, I have PCO on my right eye. I had cataract surgery 2.5 years ago. A LASIK surgery eliminated most of high myopia in 1999 (around -12 diopters). I went to the doctor's and he told me I should do Yag laser capsulotomy, but I'm really concerned about it, because another doctor had told me I shouldn't, because I'm at a high risk and because this opacification has already stabilized, stopped. My vision is very poor now. Can opacification get any worse over the years?
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 f tn Since having the surgery my left pupil is now bigger than the right and I have lots of floaters in my right eye. The opthalmologist who performed the surgery says my floaters will eventually go away and my pupil is not a result of the laser. Are these common effects from this surgery and are there additional risks that I haven't been made aware of?
