Avatar f tn Thanks for your prompt response. My dad has been taking Flomax for a few years. His ophthamologist told him that he should do the Laser PI before the cataract surgery. We were very worried as we don't want to have unnecessary complication from the PI sine his eye pressure is normal and the PI was just for prevention. Do you think we should seek another specialist? We live in Toronto.
Avatar f tn Hi ValveJob, just wanted to comment on your potential cataract surgery. As a fellow myope who's axial lengths are also over 30mm, I've read a lot about the difficulty of cataract surgery for patients like us. I can't remember if I've commented before on this, but wanted to make sure you are aware of the option in cataract surgery between 'traditional' methods of cataract extraction and the 'laser' method.
Avatar f tn He told me he is not sure when they are and whether they are going to grow. He recommends me to have the laser surgery. Recently I feel very uncomfortable about my right eye. Is it because the pressure is too high on that eye? I always feel that something presses on my right eye or it is going to be out. My appoint of the surgery is about two months later in Toronto Western Hospital. I am really scared about it though doctor told me I do not even have to rest for that surgery.
Avatar m tn t see any problem with being the first patient a surgeon implants with the Symfony. If you do get the surgery in Toronto, you should be able to get followups here with no problem, merely check with surgeons in advance to be sure they are ok with it. I did that before I traveled for surgery to be prepared for the 1 week followup after I got back, and most seemed ok with it (one seemed reticent to approve of medical tourism).

Avatar n tn I am not sure what you mean by after effects. There are approximately 3 million cataract surgery done per year in the U.S. Success is about 98% Almost all complications can be treated. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Dr. O.
Avatar f tn I'm 20 and was diagnosed last November with endometriosis after having a cyst rupture while at work. I had a lot of cysts removed from my ovaries Via davinci assisted surgery. I've tried birth control with no luck, and most recently I've been on norethindrone 10mg a day and again am still having constant bleeding. What are the odds that the cysts have come back already in April? How many surgeries did you have?

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 f tn A few months back I had done the same surgery in Toronto. I've chosen this eye surgery as it has a low complication rate and offers a high degree of patient satisfaction. When I consulted an eye specialist he had performed a comprehensive screening examination to determine if the floaters cause sufficient impairment of my visual function. After the examination, he suggested surgery and I've done that.

Avatar n tn My question is, as I am so shortsighted, is it OK to have the Laser Cataract Surgery? I ask this because the Laser Cataract Surgery is said to be less traumatic to the eye. I wonder if Dr John C Hagan III could answer this question, as I know his son also works in his practice and he is a retinal expert? Also do you fit the New nanoflex IOL?

Avatar f tn The U-shaped tear is also called a Horshoe Tear. If retina doc is recommending laser (aka "barrier laser" to form a barrier of laser around the tear), then I'd do it. Sure, there are risks. Nothing is risk free, but the risk of not treating is much much higher than the risk of doing the procedure. Sincerely, Timothy D. McGarity, M.D.
10175753 tn?1408314528 Can a lens put in after cataract surgery be replaced if damaged during laser procedure?
Avatar n tn Time will tell if this is superior to current standard cataract surgery. The femtosecond laser is being used to make the cataract incision into the eye, the capsule opening in the lens (capsulorhexis), and to soften the cataract. Then the phaco/aspiration portion of the lens removal is the same as standard cataract surgery.
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 m tn I will be having cataract surgery and have a choice of with or with-out laser-assisted surgery. Am I likely to have a better outcome using the laser? It will cost more. Thanks!
