My vision and astigmatism are worse off, severe dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction post LA
Time is on your side
Sep 24, 2017
I am sorry to here that you are having difficulty with your vision after lasik surgery. It is very common for one eye to be corrected better than the other eye. I tell all patients this in advance to expect this. Just like one of our arms is longer than the other arm. Our body is not symmetric. One eye will usually be a little stronger or dominant compared to the other.
That being said, it is important for you to be satisfied with you vision as you complete your…
I had LASIK 4 weeks ago. Is it normal for my distant vision to still be very blurry?
You are normal!
Mar 20, 2016
A +5 prescription is a challenging prescription to handle with LASIK, though it can be done.  The candidate needs to be aware of the normal postoperative course.  Specifically, initially many surgeon will slightly over treat knowing that some regression will take place in the months after the surgery.  Also, I tell patients with this prescription to expect fluctuations for months or even during the first year as the cornea stabilizes.I imagine that your vision is amazing better (probably…
Blurred night vision after ASA Surgery 8 years ago.I know I need to get my vision checked again but w
Something is going on
Mar 10, 2016
And of course you know that.  Many things can cause the difficulties you described but the 2 most common would be some refraction and the other cataracts.  By refraction I mean some of the prescription you treated with ASA may have returned.  Both of these issues are addressable.  Enhancement can be done for the former and cataract surgery can done for the later.  Cataract are the natural normal clouding of the crystalline lens that is inside our eye as we get older.  We all have to…
How much thickness of cornea is used in lasik operation?
Different cornea thickness is used depending on prescription and procedure.
Mar 10, 2016
I imagine that you are asking this question due to concerns of not having safe amount of residual corneal thickness.  It’s a very specific question with an answer that is not specific.  There are many factors that play into how much cornea tissue is used.  First, the creation of corneal flap uses roughly around 110 microns of tissue.  This tissue is replaced and heals very quickly; however, it does not contribute at much to corneal stability.Secondly, the treatment by the excimer laser…
Can I change my eye colour?
Not a good idea!
Dec 7, 2015
I am assuming you mean without contact lenses. In the United States, the answer is NO. There is no procedure that is FDA approved for this purpose.I remember reading about a laser being developed Stroma Medical for this purpose. I was wondering if you could enroll in a clinical trial. However, I reviewed there website and it appears they do not have FDA approval for clinical trials in the US at this time or are not pursuing clinical trials in the US at this time…
iLASIK (IFS 150 Intralase) Vs Z-LASIK (Crystal Plus)?
Six of one, half a dozen of another
Nov 20, 2015
I have used both systems and have found clinically no difference in my outcomes. Both of them have similar safety profile. If you find a surgeon that you are comfortable with, then don’t let which is these two laser he uses dissuade you. You will have the best of technologies in both cases. Look for a surgeon and a center where you feel comfortable. Good luck! You’ll be fine.
After LASIK again my flap opened and cleaned. Will it effect my eye power?
Time heals all
Nov 20, 2015
From what you have reported, I don’t see anything of concern. Having a small fiber particle under the flap that needs to irrigated out is not uncommon. A good surgeon will notice it and get rid of it before it causes you problems later. If this is done right after lasik is completed, then usually there will be delay in vision recovery. But if this is done a few days after lasik, then the recovery clock restarts. However, I would find this unlikely to affect your…
