With hyperopia of this degree there is the option of vision correction with clear lens exchange surgery. This is a procedure in which the crystalline lens of the eye, that part of the eye which can develope a cataract in later years, is removed and replaced with an implant lens to correct your vision. Currently laser technology is available making this kind of surgery more predictable and safe.
As you are aware, you have anextreme level of farsightedness (hyperopia), well beyond what can be treatedwith corneal laser surgery. LASIKand PRK can comfortably treat up to +4D and some surgeons will treat up to+6D. At your level of hyperopia,the best surgical option would be a clear lens extraction with implantation ofan artificial lens implant (similar to cataract surgery). Whether you should proceed with thisdepends on your age (the older the better), the health of your eyes, and howmotivated you are to get something done.If done properly, there is a veryhigh chance you could get out of glasses or contacts. If after this surgery you have some slight residualfarsightedness, that could usually be adjusted with a procedure such as LASIKor PRK.
Lasik does not induce ambyopia, a developmental condition due to eye muscle imbalance or large prescription differences between the eyes. Your difficulties relate to irregularities in the cornea due to your enhancement procedure. These irregularities can create quality of vision issues such as...
Understand that if your eyes were dry before surgery, they will always be dry. I’m assuming they are now drier than they were. Although it can take a year or more for dryness to resolve following surgery (you don’t say whether you had LASIK or PRK), at 7 months typically it has resolved for...
Sounds like you had a displaced flap and macro-striae. Minor folds that do not affect vision are generally called micro-striae. Treatment is necessary for macro-striae. In every patient, prior to flap lift we use a corneal marker to insure that flap is...
