Hello, I have done glaucoma and cataract surgery before and I had a tube shunt in the eye, I have severe droopy eyelid on the eye that has the issue. And its kinda blocking my eyes, I have tried raising the excess skin up to see how I would look if I had the upper eyelid surgery and the tube shunt isnt showing and I dont have dry eyes at all. Will I be able to get it.
Ophthalmological medical history: - Born with a congenital cataract in my left eye, detected late (~ at around 2 ) - Went through cataract surgery right after. They removed the cataract but did not implant a lens. At 17, strabismus correction surgery was quite successful. I still had a noticeable lazy eye, so I got a corrective blepharoplasty on my left eye to even out the eyelids. However, the result is so much worse. It's as if my left eye never stopped swelling. It's been over 4yrs
I have had cataract and glaucoma surgery in both eyes as well as a DMEK cornea replacement in one. I still use glaucoma medication. How long should I wait before considering an eyelid lift as the lid is blocking part of my vision. With very dry eye already, should I have lower lid raised at the same time? Also, how is the eye protected during the lift procedure? Thank you for your response. I need this done but as you might imagine, I am quite nervous about it.
Ive had cataract surgery of my Left eye and now need my right and am curious if I could do eye lid surgery of the upper lids at the same time to avoid two surgeries! If so, is an ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon the one I should see as I went to an ophthalmologist for the first cataract surgery. I know he doesnt do eyelid surgery and Im having a hard time finding a doctor that would do both at the same time, so Im not sure if its possible! Thanks!!!
I have glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, PVD, and allergy eyes. I take Lumigan, and as soon as it arrives, I will be using Pataday. My eyes hurt, and aggravate me constantly when I am working. I drive a truck so it's a constant bother. My upper eye lids are hanging down below my eye brows. Would removal of the excess skin help with the constant pain, and aggravation.
I'm super confused after reading so many conflicting opinions on getting a steroid injection vs surgery. 2 ophthalmologist i recently visited wants me to go for surgery. But I've had chalazions before and got steroid shots and worked like magic with no side effects. Are steroid injections really harmful? Some suggests that it can lead to cataract n glaucoma n stuff. I need some professional honest advice. Help!
I had cataract surgery on both eyes. On 12 OCT 2015, I opted for the traditional surgery with aspheric lens replacement in my right eye. . On 5 NOV 2015 I opted for laser surgery with Lentis multifocal lens in my left eye. My left eye is noticeably smaller than my right eye. I am 63 years old. What can I do to get the left eye same size as the right eye?
