I had Lasik in 2001. And came out with better than 20/20. But shortly after I started getting starbursts, glare, and ghosting. I was told it would get better but never really did. I have since been back to have vision checked and right eye is a little worse than 20/30. Would new laser technology be able to correct my glare, starbursts, and ghosting? Or is it to risky to lift a flap this old? If it is would glasses help with at least the ghosting if by chance its my astigmatism coming back?
It's been so far 5 weeks since my Lasik eye surgery. Overall, when I'm outside and its bright my eyes see pretty clear/sharp. 2 weeks after the surgery I noticed I had one floater in my left eye that I never had before? Will it go away? It wasn't there before my surgery. In my right eye the vision is slightly off then my left and it feels a bit uncomfortable. In my right eye, when ever i look at digital clocks or words, or at the TV with white letters black background it appears double/ghosting?
4 months after LASIK I have brown spot on white part of my eye/edge on iris. Is that epithelial ingrow? I still struggle slightly with this eye... Struggled two times with double vision/ghosting. After week of using oftan dexa chloramphenicol things are back close to good. Also. Can I use other remedies for dry eyes? Artificial tears help for short time. Can I use something more lubricating?
Lasik was done 12 days ago. Theres ghosting and glare in the left eye caused by bright surfaces and lights (worst at night or indoors), and I see ghosts of lights as triangles, especially at night. I also noticed that if I cover the top part of my left eye, the glare goes away and my left eye becomes sharper. Doc said there are no wrinkles in the flap and that I just need to give it time to heal. Again, this is just the left eye. Right eye is great, no glare. Thoughts?
I have a lot of halos and ghosting, 3 years after LASEK. It stopped improving after the first year and driving at night is now terrifying. Is there any treatment for that? Or even glasses for night driving? (which is the only time it is a big issue)
Ex: - someone in bright clothes walking toward me with daylight behind him i see his clothes glowing or edge of clothes slightly ghosting or blurry. - white letters on black appear glowing or glaring. Minor dry eye. Doc says all is entirely because of helaing process. He said should take 2 more mths. Wondering if this is common? Do symptom fit the healing as possible cause? does delayed healing can still achieve full recovery? What's relevant questions I should ask to the doctor next time?
I had Lasik about 6 weeks ago. Since having the procedure I have noticed that I have a slight ghosting image only in my right eye that appears just below the object in focus typically only under lower lighting conditions (road signs at night, tail lights, white letters on darker backgrounds on the tv, digital clocks, even on tv if someone is wearing a lighter colored shirt and darker pants or suit the lighter color will bleed over onto the darker image). Sometimes there is even some vertical smearing between the two images as well. This only seems to occur in lower light with brighter objects on a darker background. One thing to note is that I don't recall having experienced this under typical office lighting, outdoors, or even while working on a computer. Before my Lasik procedure, I do remember sitting in the Optometrist's office who was performing the Lasik consultation and I mentioned that in my right eye I could see some minor downward vertical smearing of the white background of the Snellen Chart below the chart and the optometrist didn't say much about it. The interesting part is that I can typically fix the ghosting by tilting my head back, while maintaining the point of fixation straight ahead. At some threshold point, the ghosting disappears and also tends to make my entire vision in that eye a tad more crisp when doing this as well. So I have a few questions: 1. Is this an effect of my eye healing and that my right eye may still be a bit swollen from the surgery? 2. Could this be from the laser that cut the flap?3. Is this residual astigmatism from before my surgery? (.25 both eyes prior to) 4. Could this be induced astigmatism? I do also see some halos/starbursts typically only at night or low light environments, and they seem to be getting a tad better each week, or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Thanks for any information/advice.
3/27/11 Doc said I was nearsighted/astigmatism. Followup visits said I had 20/15 vision, even though letters appeared fuzzy. Explained having blurred vision with distance, and ghosting. green lights at intersections in distance ghosting 2 lights diagonal, now there are 3 in triangle. Doc said -dry eyes- tried every drop, makes eyes feel drier. Can't read street signs anymore. Vision is worse after using computer. Doc isn't worried, I am. Vision up close is perfect. 41 yr old Female.
I admit that I am a contact lens abuser. For many years I have slept in them and my doctor has told me my eyes have been deprived of oxygen and I now have ghost vessels. Am I still a candidate for lasik even though I have ghost vessels? I still sleep in my contacts but now replace them more frequently (every month).
I stilI have a ghosting image in my left eye after lasik treatment, my doctor redo the treatment 2 times and now i still have the problem, i haven't dryness and i took (Alfagan eye drops) to reduce the pupil but i see the same ghost or shadow. my doctor finally said that he can't know the problem, now what can i do? thanks
