Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye horror stories

Had torn retina last year at your age. Laser treated. Cataract followed soon after in that eye. Also highly myopic. I think myopia is a major contribution. Other factors could be sun UV rays (I’m outdoor-ish person), hereditary, and bad luck. If you search thru’ this site, you will find many ‘young’ folks with cataract. Unless your cataract is really bad, try not to go for surgery just yet. I definitely am not ready for it. Many horror post-cataract surgery stories in here.
t u just hate when ppl who are suppose to be ur friend fill ur mind with doubt and worry?? All week I have heard horror stories from the girls from work (who are nurses) girls we gotta remember that no pregnancy is the same and personally I feel listening to girls drag us down makes us feel waaay worse. I ended up booking a private scan cos I was so torn up by what ppl were telling me about my nausea symptoms stopping. If ur not sick ur whole pregnancy something is wrong?!?!? I was terrified.
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.
All of this mess in in my right eye. My left eye sees 20/15 with a -2 correction. The right eye was at -3.75 prior, both eyes have about -1 Cyl. (astigmatism?) I will be attending medical school in Fall 2014, continuing physical therapy until then.
I have been doing kind of ok even with the cataract in place. I know the left eye was already dominant before, but am concerned that if I don't get the right one in shape soon, the brain might turn it off altogether.

ve been looking for articles regarding the use of accutane in patients with keloid/hypertrophic scarring, but all I can seem to find are horror stories of people taking accutane and going and having laser treatment/dermabrasion resulting in keloid formation. I would never do that to my skin during such a delicate time! I just want to know what to expect of my keloid prone skin *while taking* accutane. I can't find anything on the subject!
My question is...
I had a Toric lens put in my right eye at Mass Eye and Ear a few months ago and that has been great but I wanted it all – the promise of no glasses at all – and that’s why I was taken in by the doctor recommending Re-zoom. I am back to Mass Eye and Ear Monday and see what they say and whether explantation is an option. What are peoples’ experience with Toric and if explantation is recommended is that a big deal?
A friend recently mentioned that pregnancy can affect one's eye prescription. What can a woman normally expect? If there are changes, are they permanent? I'm 30 and considering laser eye surgery very soon. I am not planning on having children anytime soon, for at least a few years. Is it worth it to have it done now, or would it be better to wait until AFTER I've had kids?
I was having a discussion on my Facebook about birth and all that and asked that anyone who commented refrained from telling horror stories.. I wanted to know about people's POSITIVE csection experience because I have a scheduled csection in June.. I know it's not all rainbows and sunshine but I don't want to psych myself out..
Hello ... today my grandson's pediatrician couldn't see light reflection in one of my grandson's eyes. I've noticed for a while that the eye moves slightly different from the other eye. The doctor said it couldn't be lazy eye. From what I've read it could very well be that. I've read horror stories about a tumor behind the eye. I looked at all his pictures and didn't notice one eye being white. What could this be?
I have been seeing horror stories about Crystalens and Restor lens. I am thinking only the people who are having issues are reporting and all happy people are not giving their reviews here.
Please let me know if you or any of your friends who has Crystalens from long time..
Please let me know if you or any of your friends who has Restor with no night vision issues.
I had laser surgery for a tear in my retina in my right eye almost 2 weeks ago, after having my left eye checked twice as I had a shadow in that one and that was ok, so couldn't believe my good eye ended up with a tear a week after the left one was checked. On the day of the surgery I woke up with a large cobweb floater which really affected my vision, so very scary but after a week that has reduced by 3 quarters, hopefully it will completely go soon.
I have diabetic retinopathy and I have had floaters before and once had laser done to my right eye with success. I went to a new doctor a retina specialists and he gave me a shot in my left eye and it is telling me that it takes 3-4 weeks for improvement. The improvement is very slight and my follow up appointment is on 10/9. He mentioned doing vitrectomy surgery which of course scares me to death but not being able to see out of my left eye also scares me.
It sounds like you might have some hemosiderin staining--i.e., your skin has been stained by your blood. 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.
There are all kinds of horror stories online about the dangers of sharing make up, some even saying it can cause blindess! I know I am kind of a germaphobe and cannot believe I used that mascara, yuck. I think other girls were used it as well before me, but I am not sure as I was concentrating on my own face. If I do get some kind of infection from this, what would it most likely be (pinkeye maybe?) and when would it most likely show up?
Thanks for your help!
Unfortunately, I am not in a position to select Doctors...I must utilize the services of my local VA Medical Center. Veterans using the VA MC's must manage their health care or risk becoming one of the many horror stories about VA care that seem to perpetuate.
Some are true...
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.
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!
I have afib and take sotalol and digoxin. I am scheduled to have my wisdom teeth out w/ conscious sedation. They will use either versed or propafol. My cardiologist is not concerned, nor is the oral surgeon, but I am - I have read that both of these drugs can cause palpatations. Of course, I petrified of going into afib. In 6 years I have only had 2 episodes, but I do occasionally feel missed beats..... I'm confident stress causes it - as a matter of fact, I'm positive.
And my prescription was not that bad to begin with. It was 3.0 in right eye and 2.5 in left eye. My right eye had asstigmatism. My left eye does not. But the procedure seemed to work on my right eye but not my left. I am just frustrated I almost whish I had stayed with contacts. I just dont know what to do.
