Avatar f tn I then had a procedure called vertebroplasty and have been in worse pain than I was before. DO NOT HAVE BACK SURGERY!!! Bulging dics can be corrected through laser surgery and there is no cutting through muscle. Check out Laser Spine Institute. Just google them and check out their site. I have all the conditions that you have and I take Oxycodone 10/325 mg. 5 a day.
Avatar f tn Can laser surgery to dissolve film after cataract surgery (secondary) contribute to problems with glare? I had cataract surgery both eyes about 2 yrs. ago to correct glare problems (no blurring) That helped about a year & then it came back. I had laser tx. to remove film about 4 months ago, it has not helped. Then I had eyelid surgery about a month ago to help ptosis. Does it take a while for my eyes to recover from the laser? It is a little better now but barely.
Avatar f tn Hence I am worried and not able to decide. Pelase let me know can I avoid this YAG laser and improve my vision with some medicine or eye exercise ?
Avatar m tn ENT docs, Otolaryngologists, Internal Medicine/Respirologist, Dentist, and Sleep Disorder doctor. I have tried the CPAP for 2 years (hate it) and I am currently using the mouth-guard (where my jaw is moved forward). My most recent ENT doctor suggested removing my tonsisl and uvula (under the table, overnight in the hospital, anesthesia)...I was told that this post-op, the pain is 10x worse than strep throat...any comments? Should I do this procedure?
Avatar n tn Cataract surgery is the most common, the most successful and the least risky surgery done on adults. It is one of the great success stories in all of Medicine. In the USA last year 3.25 millionn cataract/IOL surgeries were one. The femtosecond laser costs almost a half million dollars. It is a fabulous tool but it is very difficult to see how any person, insurance company or government in the countries with socialized medicine can affort to buy it.
Avatar m tn Hello, Apart from laser treatment, if these are capillary telangiectasia, then photothermal coagulation with laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) is employed and if these are venous telangiectasia, sclerotherapy can be employed. Please discuss these treatment modes with your dermatologist and check out the type of telangiectasia that you are having. I hope it helps. take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Less trauma is my main concern and it seems the femosecond laser helps break up the lens quicker and with less complications. Thank you for your opinion on this...any Dr on this site.
Avatar n tn http://www.about-eyes.com/laser-assisted-cataract-surgery-and-risk-of-macular-swelling/ "Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery and Risk of Macular Swelling" His skepticism matches the reports I've seen of large scale studies over the last year or so indicating that laser cataract surgery so far merely has been shown to have different complications than non-laser surgery overall (which are rare in both types), and hasn't proven its benefits overall yet for most patients.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the reply. I mean retinal tears and holes.Can contacts be worn after laser surgery? What's the recovery period?
Avatar n tn clock and I see the edge quiver and pulse in and out. One doctor told me that I needed laser surgery to correct an opacification (wrinkle) in the capsule and that maybe that would help with the visual problems I was having. IT DID NOT. Now I am stuck with this horrible problem unless I risk having the lens exchanged for a bigger one. I understand that it is now more complicated because I had YAG. How much more risky is it?
Avatar m tn i was told that after a month or 2 after the surgery the will be a cloudness in my eyes and that cab be resolved by a yag laser. after the surgery i discoverd that there whre halos around the lights s(something like feathers around the lights) i went to the doctor he performed a Yag laser. after the yag laser the halos became more visible they are like stars around the streetlight and car lights.

Avatar f tn No questins here. I just had Laser surgery yesterday, performed by Dr. Vosoghi. I have been in his care for approximately one month and could not be more impressed. Demeanor is professional, chairsidemanner so kind, highly educated and knowledgable, and I do not think I could be in beter hands. If you need a specialist, and you are within traveling distance of his offices, I highly recommend him.

Avatar n tn This free ebook for cataract patients by a surgeon who is skeptical of the benefits of laser cataract surgery is a good place to start and provides perspective (although its a couple of years old or so, my impression is that the views of the industry haven't changed yet): http://david-richardson-md.com/wp-content/uploads/ctb.pdf This is an overview by someone more biased in favor of cataract surgery, http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/laser-cataract-surgery.
Avatar n tn Sir your response does scared me a little , But I am just curious why the doctor suggested piggyback lenses when there are other options available although I am still reading about surface cornea surgery (PPK) or femtosecond laser surgery and do not have a good understanding yet , does the IOLs generally stick to the eye if not followed up regularly with right doctors and right medicines
Avatar n tn Thank you for your comments about the laser and brown spots in my cheeks, but i have a question now, i've had the laser 3 times and my spots are getting darker is this normal?. after the procedure ( make for a certified doctor) my skin gets red and then dark for some days ( is like burned skin), and after 4 or 5 days this burned skin is gone but the brown spots still there but darkers. should i stop the laser treatment or keep going for more?. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Been told the result of retrograde eject after the surgery. Is it the last resort if all medicine and massage is failed.
Avatar f tn Dear M.D. I have to have a capsulotomy after my vitrectomy and subsequent cataract removal in the same eye. 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.
