laser eye lift

Background: 58Y/Male. Highly Active. Appx 5 years back my eye doctor saw something and sent me to a retina specialist who identified lattice degeneration in both eyes and I have been going every 6 months for monitoring. No eye condition except general reading glasses (+1.5). Onset of issues, it seems: A few months back I was in a dimly lit restaurant and felt constant flashes on the left side of my eye. It went away as soon as I left the restaurant.

I've been born with the most embarrassing eye and face condition- nevus of ota. It seems like there are few options available for the cure in the face - laser treatments. but i don't seem to find even one solution that would help me in a long run for "eye" in India! I need help reg this issue. Please help me get through with this ordeal. It would really lift up my spirits!

The only thing that worries me is persistent small amount of subretinal fluid that accompanies the atrophic hole at 11 o’clock in my left eye - it was treated with laser retinopexy about 8 months ago and my Doctor said that the fluid doesn’t pass the laser demarcation line and the treated area is stable. My doctor’s answer about the fluid was quite vague and he said that the fluid may never reabsorb. So my question is: 1.

One week later I had a second laser due to sub-retinal fluid. That was a little over two weeks ago. My vision has been tested in the office after dilitation and is 20/20 corrected with my progressive glasses. I have had frequent follow ups and several docs in the office say it looks good. However, I wake up each day to something different in vision----sometimes floaters, sometimes black specks, today with wavy, watery waves.

Yesterday I had a small horseshoe tear at the 4 o'clock position laser repaired. I have a history of retinal tears, and a detachment in the other eye. All treated by the same retina doctor. When I asked about how this might affect my vision her response was it won't because the position. When I required about physical limitations she said do what I like to do even go to the gym and lift weights. Just avoid jarring moments or hits in the head.

Dr Hagan, I understand why a Yag laser is done,The floater is gone from that eye, but the cloud still remains, It is not as dense as it was last week,but the surgery has not worked and I have had it done twice now.

But it happend to me my family has a history of retinal detachments recently I went to Birmingham al and had prohalytic 360 laser on my good eye bc I had lattice degeneration but the sugery had some complications I developed pVD bc of the sugery and has caused me anxiety and depression to the lowest of lowest I keep replying the descion in my mind if I should had have had the sugery my doctors says my retina is stronger now been 10 weeks from laser but the PVD I see every moment makes me retin

But my RD told me I have hole in my right eye as well. He said he would do laser treatment for left eye first, then do right eye. I went to see eye urgent care yesterday afternoon. EyeMDs there confirmed that I have PVD in my left eyes and saw vitreous floaters. But they did not see any holes. They said the reason I might have cloudy vision was more like secondary cataract. Some tissue was not completely cleaned out during my original cataract surgery.

t even want anything there and told not to put anything inside my eye area! I still have a lump under my left eye but he keeps working away w different lasers to help it along. My lower face lift caused a years worth of problems from a bulging bullfrog throat from a bad tissue reaction to the sutures followed by necrotized fat lumps and a partial necrotized lymph node lump that had to be cut out, I had to have 3 surgeries over a one period.

I have major dark under eye circles. I don't know what I should do about them? I get at least 8 to 10 hours sleep every night and drink plenty of water. I have tried a few eye cremes that claim to get rid of dark circles but to no avail and I really don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars on any more eye cremes that are probably just making the problem worse.

8 months before I went to doctor and he examined my retina and told that you have many holes in your retina(both eyes) and suggested me for green laser. He successfully done this treatment in 2 seatings and told me that don’t bend on your knees and don’t lift up heavy weight. I use to examine my eyes after every 3 months but I am too much scared because I think I will blind one day please let me know that is it possible that I could be blind one day.

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.

I was hoping the scar tissue could be removed with a laser. not for vision purposes I would imagine its more cosmetic but it sure would lift my spirts up if it was able to be done.

I don't see a reply button on my post. I hope this stays on the thread of PVD and exercise. I did post here because I tried to address this with my Dr Office and kept being told to refer to a print out they gave me that says nothing about my question. The Tech person was a little short when I tried to get more specific answers . That is why I went to the net where I was searching for some more specific guidance with some clarity. Dr. Feldman, thanks for your reply.

Expected date to return to work is April 8th. My job is very physically demanding. I lift all day long. A minimum of 1 lb. to a maximum of 50 lbs. I'd say between 15 to 20,000 pounds a day. Can you still get a tear in the retina even if you have the Scerla Buckle? Just wondering if I'm gonna have to find a new career...something with less lifting.

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!

An eye problem such as retinopathy is a complication of diabetes. I would contact your eye doctor in reference to eye surgery.

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?

The left eye wasnt bad, they did an indirect laser on it. The right eye however, had a large tear and much fluid had gone behind it. On the right eye they did the schleral buckle, laser, the gas bubble and drained 75% of the eye fluid. I guess my biggest concern is that I am a mail delivery person and run rural routes on roads with big pot holes and lots of dust and gravel.

Actually I've been to Asg eye hospital and was seen by an eye MD opthalmologist only?

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.

I had cateract surgery about two years ago. My left eye is ok but my right eye has lost some vision. My eye doctor told me today that I could have my right eye lasered. Do you know what this procedure involves? Thank you.

(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.

occludable angles means the part of the eye where the fluid drains out (angle) between the iris and the cornea is narrow due to being a short eye (far-sighted) and that the iris could block the flow out of the eye causing an acute or subacute or recurrent attack of angle closure glaucoma. To prevent this from happening if Eye MD ophthalmologists see it they use a laser iridotomy (hole in the iris) to prevent the attack from developing.

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.
