No the lasers at a discotheque will not damage the eye. If you have floaters and watering eyes that's not the cause. If you can tear yourself away from "Saturday Night Fever" then see an ophthalmologist on Monday.

No such symptoms are not characteristic of laser damage to the eye, not at all. They are suggestive of dry eyes and contact lens problems.

The brownish staining from the bruising I got following multiple surgeries on my right eye was completely removed by a single treatment with a Q-switched laser. This is the same laser used to remove tattoos. I had previously been told that the problem was untreatable, since no cream could penetrate that deeply. But I recently found an article on the Candelalaser website describing the use of a Q-switched laser to treat blood staining on the legs and calves. I was referred to Dr.

m only 18, no history of anything, good pressures, optic nerves etc etc, the spots are in the same area in each eye, I looked at the sun with both. My question is does solar damage any part of the eye or is it just commonly the center due to you looking at that point, whereas the little spot seems to be a few cm's above each eyes' cup aswell as the direct center, almost like a laser has pinpointed that area and zapped it.

Can a laser mouse for a computer cause permanent vision damage? I know that certain lasers can. I ask this because I recently bought a new laser mouse and looked at the bottom of the mouse because i felt something stuck when i moved my mouse. I looked at the lense where the laser is supposed to be. I have maybe looked at the lense where the laser is about 2-3 times each at different times. I did not pick up the mouse and put it directly infront of my face or eyes.

I was wondering...my eye doctor checked my eye pressure 3 times on each eye and they were all between 25-30. they checked for glaucoma but it was negative...nothing else was done. shouldn't they try to lower the pressure to prevent damage to my optic nerve??? i am experiencing blurry vision but every so often and sometimes i feel like there's something in my periphrial sight, i'll turn my head and there will be nothing there.

Today out of nowhere the veins in my left eye seemed to be really red and irritated. It looks like a cluster of veins next to my eye that stretch up above my eye. I put eye drops in but it burns.

Hi, I have just come back from my yearly check up at the hospital (I have eye pressures consistently above 26 but not over 30) and my local hospital advised that they only treat over 30 and will actively monitor me for any damage/changes etc which to date I have none, visual field still fully intact and no nerve damage as yet with these pressures. Also to keep you informed my left eye is severely amblyopic so basically I use my right eye for everything!

I have to have a capsulotomy and was wondering if this procedure will damage the Photoreceptors or rods and cones in my eye. Does this bright light and heat damage this part of the eye? I read in one of the databases at the library that this was possible in a laser procedure.

During the procedure my vision in my right eye became distorted by intense red light, and pain occurred in my right eye. After the procedure my right eye seemed ok. Nine hours later a hemorrhage occurred in my right eye and was repaired the following day. My question that so far has gone unanswered is what caused the red light and pain I experienced during the YAG treatment?

I have noticed deteriorating vision in my left eye for the past 5 years or so. My left eye is considerably worse than my right.

Hi, I went dr to check my eye number. They used eye drop. I had pain after eye drop and I was feeling uncomfortable with my right eye.

Does it end glaucoma for me? Does cause permanent side effect?
