QUESTIONS ANSWERED

I have a central corneal thickness of 540 in both eyes. Do you recommend PRK for such corneal thickness?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It depends on your prescription. For mild to moderate myopia, PRK or LASIK are both reasonable options with a central corneal thickness of 540

Is PRK a Good Treatment For Keratoconus?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Keratoconus is still a contraindication to PRK, and rightfully so. The risk of corneal ectasia is too high. this may change as new treatment modalities become available, namely collagen crosslinking. But as of this moment (July 2015), PRK for keratoconus is not a good idea.

Why am I getting redness in the eyes one month after having LASIK treatment?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
With so many possible causes for the redness, you're best off going back to where you had the procedure done for a full evaluation.

I have 496 and 497 corneal thickness and -4.5 in both eyes. LASIK is off the list. Should I go for PRK or ICL? Male, 18 yrs old

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
PRK and ICL are both options, but you may want to consider having LASIK with a femtosecond-created flap. The femtosecond laser can create a thin flap which should fit your particular parameters. Remember that whichever option you choose, each procedure carries its own unique set of risk factors. Discuss with your ophthalmologist.

I've been nearsighted since childhood. Now that I'm in my forties, I've developed a degree of farsightedness as well?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
The "farsightedness" you've developed is called "presbyopia." It is the difference between your distance correction and your near correction. Now that you are in your forties, the glasses you need for the distance is different than the glasses you need for reading.

Help me to find my Corneal bed thickness left after LASIK!

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
I would add one more parameter--the diameter of the treatment zone also affects depth of treatment

7 years after LASIK for blurry left eye. I'm pregnant now. I feel blurry vision in my left eye. Do I need to go for check up?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
By all means, have an ophthalmologist examine you. It is most likely a refractive error. You won't be able to have anything done about it until after your pregnancy, however. The vision may return to normal spontaneously (by itself) after the pregnancy.

2 months post op LASIK, should I ask for enhancement?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
At 2 months, it's still too early to know if you've reached your end-point. Wait the full three months--if you're still not happy with the result, by all means ask what can be done to improve your situation.

Can I have one more laser surgery in my eye ?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
This is a unique situation. The short answer is that you have options. Non-laser surgery may be a better option than laser surgery. Since you developed cataracts at such a young age, keep in mind that your eyes probably don't have the same visual potential as normal eyes.

I wear contacts. Do I qualify for laser eye surgery, or is my prescription too high?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Definitely too high on the right. Left eye answer depends on corneal thickness. Alternative options include lens implant, lens exchange, or stick with glasses/contact lenses
