Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye for reading

laser

Avatar f tn Thank you for your answer. I do not have perfect distance vision and have glasses for distance. I have been using store bought reading glasses but thought the prescription was made for my eyes. Are you saying that I don't need to get them from the optomitrist? If they are not made for my eyes only, I am wasting my money but thought they were.
Avatar m tn You may have had a laser treatment for open angle glaucoma (low tension is a type of this) called a laser trabeculoplasty OR you may have had a hole put in your iris with the laser called a laser irodotomy. The latter is often associated with farsightedness. You should be under the care of an Eye MD ophthalmologist. If you had the hole in the iris then this is what you should request of your Eye MD. 1. explain your symptoms. 2.
Avatar f tn 25 for left and minus 5.5 for right. I am all right for general seeing and watching TV but I cannot read easily as my left naked eye wants to read far and the right naked eye, near. Also I feel unbalanced. Please can you tell me if reading glasses will be the solution to my reading difficulty or do I need to do an operation on my right eye (which has a mild cataract) and bring the vision to minus 2.5 too.
Avatar m tn Why would lasering be a lot more complicated and painful on one eye? Do you think the blurriness for reading is temporary? Also, why would it be blurry only with my glasses or contact lenses? It is really painful to read when one eye sees clear and the other eye sees very blurry.
Avatar m tn I had a laser treatment for holes in my retina in my left eye 4 weeks ago but after the treatment i noticed that my eye doesn't react to light as before : the pupil size of my twso eyes are not always the same my left eye is a little more dilated than the right eye, also i have problem when reading. Is it usual and normal? can you please help me and advise me , what should i do?
Avatar f tn About a month ago I had yag laser treatment (by another surgeon) of one eye. It went from pre-laser treatment 20/15 distance vision to post-laser treatment of 20/25 distance vision. The second surgeon is not sure why that happened. I do recall the first surgeon saying he was going to do slight monovision although I don't recall which eye that was -- I thought it was the other eye.
Avatar m tn Could you please tell me whether your reading vision got better after a while. I had laser for retinal tears on both eyes and my right eye is very weak while reading now. I also see objects smaller with right eye. I am wondering if these after effects are temporary.
Avatar f tn As a matter of fact, I just found last night the name of a private place in Toronto which does it. I am located in Montreal which is about a 5-hour drive. My husband said he would drive me back and forth if that is what I decide to do, but I first want to speak to my RS of course. The doctors who work there seem to have very good credentials.
Avatar f tn Now the Doctors in Bangalore are suggesting to go for Yaag laser, but I am very much scared to go for any laser treatment. I feel the LASIK treatment is the route cause for my eye problems. Please advise I am working on the coumputer for 8 hrs a day. I am reading a lot about the Programme for better vision by Cambride university - is it useful have anybody tried and found useful ?
Avatar m tn But right eye is very weak for close objects and for reading and things look a lot smaller than they actually are. Are these the symptoms for epi-retinal membrane condition? I am just hoping it is becuase of temporary inflammation of the eye but it seems more complicated than that. It did not get any better since the treatment was done. Thank you for your help.
Avatar f tn Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate it very much. I actually have heard of the Woodhams eye clinic but didn't know they did Lasik. My Dad has OA and lives in FL. He was originally told he could not have cataract surgery. He found a doctor that specializes only in hard cases in eye surgery. Had the operation and is seeing wonderfully!
Avatar n tn 1) Is there any permanent eye treatment to correct my Right eye glaucomma, distance and presbyopic problem? Any laser, other lifetime treatment so that I don't have to wear glasses? 2) If there is any treatment then that would that be one time or the effect of those will reduce after some years and I have to repeat same treatment again? 3) How many times eye can be treated either LASER and surgical? 4) Any advise/suggestion for me?
1260255 tn?1288654564 I am holding off on having my prescription filled for new eye glasses, as I have noticed that the reading vision in my right eye is next to nothing. I can only read print when focusing through the inner part of the progressive lens on that side, whereas with the left eye, everything is in focus and I can clearly see the print. I will be asking the ophthalmologist about this.
Avatar n tn You could place a monofocal implant in the right eye, aiming for -2.00 correction to balance the left eye. You would be able to read without glasses, and need them for driving or movies.
Avatar m tn 50 diopter for the left eye (for viewing objects at 20+ ft) and -0.25 for the right one (for reading at 18 in). A correction of +1.50 is needed for the left eye to view near objects, and -2.50 is needed for the right one to view far objects. Corrected visual acuity six months after surgery was about 20/30 for the left eye and J2 (at 15 in) for the right eye.
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?
Avatar n tn In general the things that are good for your general health are good for the eye with almost no exceptions: Do no use tobacco or cannabis products in any form, eat a healthy diet (frutis, fiber, fish, berry, nuts, dark leafy greens), avoid obesity which in turn will reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis all of which can damage the eye, wear proper eye protection for contact sports and tasks with high risk of eye injury, (welding, metal on metal hammering, fireworks, fire
Avatar n tn Now, 5 days after the laser treatment, I noticed there are flashes of light on the peripheral part of the eye. I immediately went back for check up but the doctor said my retina is normal. Is it normal to have those symptoms after a laser treatment? What are the chances of having retinal detachment even after performing laser treatment? Thank u!!
Avatar m tn I talked to my surgeon and he told me this is normal as it is due to retina scarring due to laser but I am getting concerned because laser scars show radioactivity like activity and not these kind of flashes. Should I get worried that PVD is happening in my eye and pulling on latticed retina??????
Avatar m tn So on 1st of september,I had laser done, my flashes are gone but new problem emerged that, after the laser, my vision is still blurry as Almost 40 hrs have been passed, I can read words in LE accurately but they are slightely blurred as compared to my RIGHT HEALTHY EYE, I was worried about damage to fovea Or cornea by laser .
Avatar f tn If you live in the USA go to www.aao.org and look for a refractive surgeon near you. Go in to see if you are a candidate for lasik. KNOW THAT AT YOUR AGE YOU WILL NEED READING GLASSES OR MONOVISION TO FUNCTION WITHOUT GLASSES.
Avatar f tn Note to Dr. Hagan - Thank you for this web site and your responses. I read about your rec to someone for Dr. Doug Koch in Houston Baylor as he is an iris specialist of world class. I am close enough to have an easy trip to see him. I have an appointment in May and hope there will be some easy thing to minimize the effects of the translucent iris. Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have spoken to the doctor and he says i have -2 in my left eye and -1 in my right eye so i need to wait for a week and then i can get my glasses made according to the new number .He says to go for an enhancement laser after 2.5 months.I am now worried about the side effects of this much laser in my eyes as well as what will happen if even an enhancement laser doesnt improve my vision? Any opionions about enhancement laser and its sideeffects?
