Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye bag removal

Avatar f tn My doctor left the bag of the eye in tact after the operation. Is this the difference between a Vitrectomy and a Membrane Peel? If so when I have a Capsulotomy next month will this bag pull on my eye during the laser treatment and cause a possible detachment?
Avatar f tn But two options have been suggested to me - cauterization and eye bag removal. I am wondering if anyone else has recieved either treatment for these and if so the success of this treatment.
Avatar m tn hi have you ever heard of transconjunctival blepharoplasty its a form of eye bag removal ,its lasers that remove excess fluid and fat.and no incisions are made.
Avatar f tn ve had a successful Vitrectomy in my right eye to get rid of floaters and the loose vitreal bag. I do worry about low eye pressure later on in my life and that is keeping me from having a Vitrectomy in my left eye. The IOL implant in my left eye has made the floaters bigger and I have trouble seeing when in lights or bright sun. I also have the membrane that grows from left over cells that is making it difficult for me to see with both eyes.
Avatar n tn Boy, is this ever common. If you google 'posterior capsular opacification' or 'after-cataract,' you will see that it ultimately happens to at least 20%-30% of people who have had cataract removal. Apparently it's more common in younger patients. It doesn't mean that anything went wrong with the original surgery.
Avatar n tn Apparently what it really does is remove a huge chunk of the backside of the bag. If you picture your bag (after the original lens was removed) as a bean bag chair, the YAG is removing a circle of fabric the size of a garbage can lid. After that, I would imagine that removing the IOL would be reasonably easy, but installing a new one seems like it would be extremely difficult. That's the image in my head, anyway. I would be interested to hear from others if it's accurate.
Avatar f tn I had laser lithotripsy 03 days before. After surgery and removal of my urine bag I am experiencing inconsistent urination. If any one help me sort out the problem and methods to cure.
Avatar m tn In 2002, I got laser hair removal done between my eyebrows. Ever since, something strange has happened. My right pupil dilates more than my left, and sometimes my right eye's veins are more red than my left as well. Also, on my right eyebrow, white hairs are appearing. And I'm only 27 years old. Anyone have any idea about this??? Could the laser hair removal affected my veins?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your comments. The first ophthamologist said the pain is due to an acute closed angle glaucoma, but the surgeon said the laser surgery is only used to save vision, and I have no vision in my left eye. He believes removing my eye is the best option. But, the surgeon who was going to remove the eye doesn't think removal will help the pain.
Avatar n tn A month ago I had a secondary cataract removed from my right eye with a laser. My eyes were tested yesterday at a different doctors office and I was very surprised to see that the letters on the chart looked jagged! Meaning that the appearance of the letters instead of appearing smooth seemed as if they had been ripped out of something This doctor said that their was nothing that he could do but to come back in six weeks. He would not say that this was caused by the laser. I am stunned.
Avatar m tn Would I benefit from the laser surgery treatment for secondary cataract?
Avatar f tn I also want to know how is it possible that after the 360 laser on my left eye for precautionary the vitrous then started pulling and retina detached. I must also mention that I am myopic -6. Now I have sclera buckle in both eyes. I must also mention that the current detachment on my right eye is not interfering with my vision. Please help from South Africa.
Avatar n tn Part of the added difficulty is that the natural lens is contained within a bag, the capsular bag which they try to leave intact for better results (its just more complicated if the bag breaks). They take out the natural lens from the bag and put the new artificial lens back in the bag.
Avatar f tn t want the YAG laser to damage my eye from the power of the laser. How long do I have to wait to have this laser work done after cataract and vitrectomy surgery?
1298247 tn?1288290953 This is a very difficult problem, each case is somewhat different so I cannot give specific answers. You need to discuss with surgeon. He needs to control his diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, not smoke; he may need more laser, surgery such as vitrectomy to remove blood, may need cataract removal or lensectomy, glaucoma treatment may need drops, laser or glaucoma surgery.
Avatar f tn Laser hair removal on the face is cheap and easy these days, I did it for my eyebrow area/unibrow.
Avatar m tn I am also taking eye drops for Glaucoma, last check showed an IOP of 15 mm in both eyes. Is it possible that the lens is moving in the bag independent of the eye after all these years? How is the lens supported in the bag anyway?
Avatar f tn The bag the natural lens was in gets left behind but clouds up. The YAG laser punches holes in the bag to clear the cloudiness. I'm surprised they didn't explain all this to you before gaining consent. Sometimes it can cause inflammation and the cells get in the vitreous and cloud your vision. Ask your eye surgeon to look int this possibility.
Avatar f tn I had cataract surgery last week and now am seeing I have a "bag" under my eye...I've never had bags before..its 10 days since surgery...I have complete faith in my opthalmologist here in Teaneck, NJ...I'd just like a second response on why this might be?
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 f tn There are two treatments being advertised for sufferers of severe floaters-more laser surgery, said to target the large bodies in the eye, that are not close to the macula, and, Floaters only Vitrectomy (FOV). The laser treatment of floaters has shown little success, from stats I've read. There are dangers as well, because of possible retinal damage from the laser. The FOV is only offered by a limited number of eye doctors, however, that list is growing.
749258 tn?1233186337 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. Now I have developed that occasional cloudiness over the right eye. I don't know what could cause this and if it is serious or not. I'm waiting to see what happens before gong to my eye 'Dr.
Avatar n tn I have a brown spot on the white part of my eye, and I am going to remove it with a laser. It looks like a freckle, and I know it's harmless, but I'm still scared it'll grow in the future. I need to know the price so I can discuss it with my mother. Even if you can't give me an EXACT dollar amount, an estimate would be greatly appreciated because I know my insurance company won't cover it.
Avatar f tn yes, silicone oil can be removed. In fact it is often preferable to have it removed. However, removal should be discussed with your doctor. As an adult with regressed ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) there is nothing in the form of treatment, only lifelong care under a reputable ophthalmologist.
