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 A retina expert suggested that he has severe retinal degeneration in his eye now. Laser Capsulotomy is an option but he is not sure how much vision will be returned due to his retinal degeneration. She also mentioned that she could not view the retina properly due to cloudiness of the capsule. Given the risk of retinal detachment with YAG Laser proceedure, she was not sure if the risk is worth the benefit.
Avatar n tn But i have read that it will not affect the eye vision, but her vision decreases in left eye alone, when we discussed with the doctors they say that it happens due to optical nurve weakness.they ask us take laser treatment for this laser treatment. Can we go for this laser treatment? what information we should know about laser treatment before taking it ?
Avatar f tn I had retina laser surgery on a right eye, 7 days ago, but unfortunately I have serious vision problem on that eye (the doctor found out that dioptry of that eye is even for 7 worse than before the surgery). The doctor performed OTC makula and said that it is fine. My doctor could not explain me why this has happened, he said that this surgery should not have any impact on the vision. I would kindly ask you for any hint what could happened that cause the vision problem.
Avatar m tn had retina detachments in both eyes - left eye had 3 detachments 5 operations leaving me with 2400 vision - right eye has one detachment repaired 2+ years ago - now have scar tissue in that eye from cataract surgery which accompanied my retina surgery.
Avatar f tn I had a scleral buckle done on my right eye and several laser procedures on my left eye. My right eye is only good for peripheral vision. My central vision is extremely distorted. Thankfully, with corrective lenses I am able to see with my left eye. If you aren't sure about your current eye doctor, you owe it to yourself to get another (2 or more) opinions. Once your vision is gone, you can't get it back.
Avatar n tn I had laser surgery on my left eye 10 days ago. I had cataract surgery on the same eye about 2 weeks before that. I have had blurry vision with floaters since the laser surgery. It really wasn't too bad after the cataract surgery. I was wondering how long it should take for my vision to clear up? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/373085'>Floaters after cataract surgery</a>.
Avatar f tn a few years earlier, i had LASIK for near vision in my right eye and for far vision in my left, stronger eye. The right cataract surgery went well. the left eye was not clear like the right, immediately noticeable. i was not given the lens case afterwards for the left eye and wondered if it was possible the wrong scrip was used. how would i find out short of cutting open the incision and retreiving the lens? the dr. then used a laser he said would sharpen my vision some.
Avatar m tn l had successful cataract surgery a year ago, l have started early stage PCO but my vision seems perfect to me. My eye doctor said he wants to do YAG laser in 6 months he said even though l think my vision is excellent l will notice the difference and my vision will be even better . Even though the risk of yag laser is tiny should l go ahead with YAG when l am happy with my vision.
Avatar m tn After a look , he told me I had pressure in my left eye. My left eye vision was very good--better than my right eye. With my consent he immediatly applied laser treatment a few times. One of the laser shots made me cringe backwards from the pain I felt. The catract operation on my right eye, the weaker eye, was successful, and my vision improved. However the vision in my left eye became weaker with foglike obstraction.
Avatar f tn Pelase let me know can I avoid this YAG laser and improve my vision with some medicine or eye exercise ?
678451 tn?1226425977 I had a YAG Capsulotmy done on my right eye 6mos. ago and immediately following the laser I was confronted with a series of symptoms that have compromised my vision and some are still present. Initially, I immediately had intense glare especially from overhead fluorescent lighting and huge starbursts when out in the sun. This has subsided a little, but I still have a problem with overhead lighting, esp. flourescent and a small degree of sunbursts or glare and starbursting around lampposts.
Avatar m tn The doctor did two injections on right eye. After the treatment, my eye was very bloody and both far and close up vision was blurry with right eye. Far vision came back after a few days. But close up vision is still blurry and objects seem SMALLER than they actually are. It is only blurry when i put my glasses or contacts on. Without, my glasses or contacts, reading is not blurry at all. Do you think the blurriness for reading and smaller objects are temporary?
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 m tn t experienceing any vision problems in this eye prior to the laser retinopexy procedure, as the tear was detected during my annual eye exam by an eye physician. It should be noted that this was my "good eye" prior to the procedure, as it was rated better in the vision test over the other eye. After the laser retinopexy procedure, I have experienced wavy lines at the center of my vision of the repaired eye that won't go away.
Avatar f tn I had Laser barrier surgery two days ago during an appointment with my Retina specialist. They told me right as they were examining my eyes that it NEEDED to be done. Now I notice that when I am staring straight or if I look up there is a blacked-out area in the lower left side and bottom of my eye/visual field. Can laser barrier surgery cause more harm than good? I have another appointment in 6 weeks for another OCT scan and laser barrier surgery in my left eye.
Avatar n tn My mother is 66 years of age and her one eye is completely damaged! However, she went through laser sittings in her right eye! Due to some wrong medicine her IOP reached approx 50 but she underwent glaucoma surgery and now IOP is 11! Her cataract is matured but doctors cannot do the operation due to some issue with the optic nerve and that's the reason her vision is getting blurred slowly! Laser treatment was done to burn veins blocking the retina!! She is diabetic too!
Avatar f tn How long should I wait before this is done so the IOL implant seals properly so the interior of my eye is not damaged? My doctor wants me to wait a year, but my vision in that eye because of the migration of cells creating this membrane is growing poorer. My other eye has heavy floaters and an implant at well. I don't want to let this get too bad. I also don't want the YAG laser to damage my eye from the power of the laser.

Avatar f tn 25 in my left eye and -6 in my right eye, The next day after lasik I couldnt see clearly and had blurry vision and felt that I didnt get a 0 in either of my eyes.I went on a follow up visit to my doctor and according to him things will go fine and i just need to wait.Three days after that and I feel my vision has gotten worse instead of improving and I can easily feel that my left eye is more weaker than the right eye.I have difficulty wathcing tv, reading books etc.Any opinions on this please?
Avatar m tn What I need to know is how many times does a person have to undergo YAG laser before it finally causes damage to the eye, more specifically the retina? My vision is constantly blurred, I see floaters, I see flashes of light, and to top it off my peripheral vision is completely gone. When people walk toward me from my left side it looks like they are walking through water. Also during surgery on my left eye, I heard my surgeon tell another doctor who was in the operating room that my iris moved.
Avatar f tn But it made my near vision worse? Will laser correction do the same thing or will the laser only improve the distance site? Also, it seems the Restor eye is getting a little worse each day? It's still OK but seems very tempramental. My Dr said I could do laser surgery in about a month or two and see if I like it. Then if I don't he said he could explant it and put in a standard monofocal?
Avatar n tn But, unfortunately, he realized that he lost the peripheral vision on his left eye, and therefore he has a tunnel vision. His retinal surgeon told him recently that “the laser killed the retina”. (My husband had his emergency retinal surgery one year ago, but he noticed the reduced visual field only two weeks ago, after the cataract had been removed).
