Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye bag surgery

Avatar n tn The lens is slightly decentered and I am seeing the edge of the IOL. I have been told that the surgery was good (the lens is in the bag), but it is so annoying and distracting because I am seeing the lens from 4 o'clock to about 11 o'clock and I see the edge quiver and pulse in and out. One doctor told me that I needed laser surgery to correct an opacification (wrinkle) in the capsule and that maybe that would help with the visual problems I was having. IT DID NOT.
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 n tn So my question is, I had catract surgery in my right eye and it was amazing, now I have been having problems with my left eye its to the point all I can see is shadows, I put it off for a number of reasons caring for my mother then insurance reasons now I fear its to late, is it?
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 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 n tn I just had cataract surgery on my right eye today, and had a Tecnis 1-piece lens implanted. My surgeon said that part of the cataract was stuck to the back of the lens sac. She said that she scraped some of it off but didn't want to risk tearing the sac. She said that she could remove more of the cataract with a laser treatment at a later time. When I previously read through this forum I don't recall seeing anything about this kind of cataract problem.
574673 tn?1234125978 My doctors suggestion was to put a piggy back lens on top of the IOL and then do my right eye. Since my cataract in my right eye is not very bad and I am unsatisfied with the restore, I went to Mass Eye and Ear for a second opinion. The doctor there said that he coud try a lazer procedure in case the blurriness is due to clouding behind the lens, although he did not specifically see any. He also said it could be the lens itself, but it is more risky to remove it.
Avatar m tn Got Vaseline in my eye after lens exchange hi had tetraflex lens implants 8 months a go great vision 20 - 15 and good reading ability About 3 months later I got a lens bag wrinkle in one eye. I went and seen the surgeon who did a yag laser treatment on one eye this left me with a small stardust. I went back and seen the surgeon who said the yag size and condition of the lens are good. Im putting of getting the other one done until I can find out what's causing the star burst.
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 Doctor suggests Cataract surgery on my left eye first. Since I have astigmatism, the aspherical AcrySof Toric IQ IOL is suggested for implant. Since Toric IOL needs to be implanted with an angle and it rely on capsular bag fibrosis to hold the IOL in place. It may hold very well for first several years. I wonder, Can it be held in the same place after 10, 15 20 years. I mean the tissue around the capsular bag stays at the same location after many years.
Avatar n tn I have very noticeable negative disphotopsia in my left eye after cataract surgery three months ago. I had a nanoFLEX collamer lens implanted. Supposedly the lens is in the correct position according to three different doctors I have consulted. My right side implant (same make and model) has no issues. My original surgeon wants to do a YAG to fix the issue. The thought being there may be fluid in the capsular bag behind the lens causing the visual disturbances.
233488 tn?1310693103 I had cataracts surgery for my right eye on August 10, and Crystlense HD was implanted. I am now myopic; I can see better than before upto 18", but beyond that it is blurry; I can see top two lines in Eye Chart. My doctor believes that the lense is slightly mislocated in the capsule bag in anteriorAnterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury Anterior knee pain Anterior vaginal wall repair position. He recommende that the lense be removed and may be substituted by Restore or Rezoom lense.
Avatar n tn The doctor who accomplished the surgery kept coming up with difference reasons why I was having problems. He mentioned that I needed surgery for the other eye, then he said I needed a YEG procedure, and then said I needed new glasses, etc. . After much frustration, I changed doctors and fortunately found one who appears quite competent and honest. Basically the Restore lens is significantly off center and thus my vision will not improve , regardless what the other doctor had recommended.
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 f tn Hi Doctor, Thanks for your question. I have only one eye, my right eye got the cataract surgery at that time. So when I open my left eye, the image is not the same with my right surgerized eye can see. But when I opened both my eyes, my brain is like blending the two images. I am usually nearsighted ever since I was young until the surgery. My usual eyeglass power is between -2.5 up to -3.00 for either eyes.
Avatar f tn I don't know if anyone else has this condition? I've had them since my late teens. Bumps under both eyes. I've tried laser - one eye was treated with little difference. Now I wouldn't care about them if they were anywhere else, but when something is on the face it can really affect ones confidence. I have conceeded that I will probably never get rid of all of them. But two options have been suggested to me - cauterization and eye bag removal.
Avatar f tn Not sure what that is. Is this the one that involved yag laser treatment when they make holes in a Bag carrying lense to let the light pass through or something else?
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 m tn It is very unlikely that this will cause your implant to dislocate, since it has been a year since surgery, especially if the implant was placed within the capsular bag (entirely within the membrane which surrounds the lens of the eye).
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 n tn Can a crystalens be replaced with a different power if the patient had yag laser done while having the present crystalen in the eye?
