Common Questions and Answers about Laser eye injury symptoms
laser
Do I need to have a schleral buckle fitted or can my eye defect just be monitored?
My new optician discovered a hole on the lower edge of the retina in my left eye. She thought it looked like an old injury which had healed itself but referred me to an eye hospital. I hadn't and still haven't experienced any detatched retina symptoms.
During my first visit to the eye hospital the optician's diagnosis was confirmed, ie a hole in the retina which had self healed.
Hi there, I was just wondering the results of your eye symptoms? This is my full week of non-stop eye flickering, I have been examined by two Optometrists, been dilated 4 times, depression tested, and vision tested (which I failed in the location of the flickering)...but they can't seem to find anything wrong. Did you ever get a diagnosis for your eye issues? Thank you for your time.
Both say its nothing urgent, since it down and not up. One of them says it can and should be treated with laser, another one says laser will not work, we should let it heal on its own, but if it progresses, go to surgery.
Its been 6 months now since injury, so if it didn't heal by now, is there still a chance it will heal in the future?
How long it takes in average to heal, if it heals?
Should i wait or proceed with laser?
Thank you.
My name is Andres, im 23 years old. I have keratoconous. And had a cataract removed on my left eye only due to an injury(traumatic cataract). I also have some type of traumatic mydriasis left after the injury. My doctor decided not to perform both the cataract and pupil repair at the same time. Saying it is more risky when they are done simultaneously. Unfortunately, my left eye feels a little off balanced. since the difference between two eyes is about 3.25 diopeters.
I have extremely red eyes, the veins are abundant and I wanted to know if there is a laser that can remove them.
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?
I had this surgery May 21, 2009. Since then I have undergone 2 laser treatments to repair 2 tears. Laser zaps were over 500 combined. My eye flares up and hurts very badly. When this happens, vision is affected. Could I be alergic to the buckle after this long? What are the symptoms? What can be done?

11 year old daughter was hit in eye by rock thrown by child. Had iritis & 1.5mm X 1.5mm deep corneal abrasion (scarred) to the stroma in central axis. Pupil was 3mm larger than other & did not react to light. She did not receive treatment for it until 6 days after because she was at a summer camp & she was not taken to a doctor. She got back & we saw the pupil & learned of the injury & many symptoms she had had for days. She saw an ophthalmologist asap.

No, all you can consider it is that the eye had a RD and that laser to date has prevented an RD. It is not a normal eye and never will be again.
4. It is more likely related to the trauma.
5. Traction on the vitreous likely from the laser induced scars. Flashes without movement day or night would require a repeat exam by her Eye MDs.

I had two vitrectomies in my left eye, but the second one was for an epiretinal membrane. I've has multiple tears in my right eye but only laser surgery.
I empathize strongly with your frustration. The only thing I can way is, hopefully you'll get there. You're fighting to save your vision. If you're successful the pain from the surgeries will one day be just a memory.
Best of luck.
THE CONER OF MY RIGHT EYE BLOOD VESSEL BROKE THIS MORNING AND I HAVE A BAD HEADACHE OVER THE SAME EYE SHOULD I BE CONSERN
If the injury caused a retinal tear or acute hole, laser will help prevent a retinal detachment. This is done in the ophthalmologist's office. The procedure should be done if there is a retinal tear or hole; the laser will help seal the surrounding retina down and prevent fluid from getting under the retina and causing a detachment. In that case, a much more aggressive surgery would be needed.
You do have a real problem and your eyes should be followed by a general comprehensive ophthalmologist eye MD and also a retina Eye MD. If you have retinal holes they may need closing with laser or cryotherapy. Obvously you should avoid contact sports, avoid head/eye injury, avoid amusement type rides which whip the head about.
