Baltimore Laser Eye Surgery doctors

I have been performing Laser Vision Correction(Lasik and PRK) since the initial approval by the FDA in the Un ited States in 1995.Throughout this time period,  I have used every approved excimer laser and I can say, without reservation, that the results I am able to achieve with the Wavelight Allegretto 400 hz laser are the best I have ever had. Not only does the laser work amazingly well for each patient, what is equally powerful is the range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism that I can treat using this laser system. I can highly recommend this system and have have even used it on numerous family members, including my 23 year old son!

Ask around in your community! Happy patients will refer you to their surgeon and be able to give you great insight into what the support team is like, how long wait times were, pricing, etc. There are also many online review sites like yelp and healthgrades where patients can rate their surgeons. I also recommend that you find a Fellowship trained surgeons. The most qualified refractive surgeons usually did a Fellowship in Cornea and Refractive Surgery. Hope that helps!

It is not uncommon to see a mild upper eyelid lag for about one to two weeks after cataract surgery. This is in no way permanent. The cause is typically a combination of a swelling reaction by the upper eyelid muscles to the surgery itself and a mild reaction to one of the postop eye drops. The steroid eye drop, which is used for approximately two weeks postoperatively, can cause that upper eyelid muscle to relax a bit while you are using it. Once the steroid is stopped, and a few weeks pass, the eyelids return to normal position. Since cataract surgery is performed on one eye at a time, typically one or two weeks apart, what you are noticing is not an uncommon question. If the difference between the eyes continues then you should discuss this with your cataract surgeon.
