Hi
I’m a 24 y.o. male with Posterior Subcapsular Cataract removed and a ArcySof Toric IOL implanted in the left eye, and Tissue-Saving LASIK in the right done to compensate for the high myopia and Astigmatism difference between both eyes done. VA tests done showed the following: PRE-LASIK Right Eye: SPH: -8.25 POST-LASIK Right Eye: SPH: +0.25 Q: Is this a good outcome from the tissue-saving LASIK procedure? Would enhancement be likely required to achieve best glasses-free vision? POST AcrySof Toric IOL Left Eye: SPH: +1.25 Q: Is this a good outcome for IOL implant? Why is distance vision still blurry (even the LASIK eye seems slightly better)? Would LASIK or any corrective procedure be required for this eye to achieve best glasses-free vision? Q: What does my post procedure eye prescription means? Am I farsighted in both eyes with astigmatism of -2.00 in the right (LASIK) eye as well? Please advise makes sense that the +1.25 left eye is blurrier. yes, that could in theory be fixed with a surgical procedure. "Am I farsighted in both eyes with astigmatism of -2.00 in the right (LASIK) eye as well?" no. you’re farsighted only int he left eye. the right eye is "mixed astigmatism"…nearly "simple myopic astigmatism". short version is that you are not farsighted in the right eye. you’re only astigmatic in the right eye.

I had LASIK surgery done approximately 6 months ago and have noticed my right eye is sore, irritated and vision is blurry. I’ve looked up the symptoms online and they coinside with the condition of "dry-eye". I’m wondering if there is a way to correct the soreness and redness in the eye. I use moisturizing drops all the time and it still doesn’t seem to stop. Should I be looking into getting an enhancement on my eye? Will that help with the dry-eye symptoms? Second, what environmental modifications have you made? Running a humidifier, redirecting vents, turning off any fans… all make a big difference Third, glasses can be a major aid in comfort with dry eye. A good pair of foam-lined glasses, like panoptx (sold at dryeyeshop.com) can make a huge difference. Forth, doctor wise, getting plugs inserted can be incredibly useful for some dry eye patients. It’s likely to be covered by your insurance and is very much a good idea. Another ‘doctor wise’ option is restasis, a prescription drug that for some people (about 10% more than the control group) can produce increased tear production in a matter of months. It’s expensive, it can have severe side effects, and it stops working once you stop taking it, but for a fair percentage it can bring about symptom relief. Your dry eyes may or may not reduce in severity over time. Unfortunately, this is the risk you take, and I cannot tell you how much it breaks my heart to see another lasik ‘rare exception’ suffering the side effects. Getting another procedure when you have dry is a very bad choice, will likely make your dry eye worse, and no responsible surgeon would do it. I strongly advise you tap into the knowledge and experience of the folks over at http://www.dryeyezone.com/talk/ and hopefully, you’ll find methods that can make your symptoms manageable.
text is not clear to read easy and will this go awya or not
I was severely nearsighted when I had first surgery in August. I did monovision. The reading eye healed to a good level, but the distance eye was still not clear. Had enhancement on the distance eye in December, and now my local doc says I’m now farsighted. Does that mean I was overcorrected the 2nd time? Can they fix it again? The clinic where I had it done just keeps telling me to wait another couple of months. This is getting scary! ~Jack
If you wear eye glasses or contact lenses then you must be aware about the LASIK surgery. Eyesight problem is the most common problem seen in the recent times and has its roots in the stressful lifestyle and the increased strain on ones eyes. And if you have glasses on then you must have had noticed many ads and articles on the success of LASIK surgery which is treated as the most common surgeries taking place today. Whatever information you have about LASIK surgery it is better to understand some facts about it. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. Many of us are under a certainly wrong impression that with the help of LASIK surgery one can get rid of glasses ad contacts. Therefore you should be absolutely clear of the facts which are involved with this newest procedure to correct vision problems. Fact #1 Lasik surgery does not guarantee the elimination of eyeglasses or contacts as is the common perception. It is a surgery to correct vision problems and in some cases the Lasik patients still wear glasses. Think and discuss your particular case with the surgeon to get a correct picture of what your chances will be. Fact#2 Not everyone can perform this surgery concerning to the most delicate part of your body. Look for an experienced, board-certified ophthalmologist. Ask questions regarding your surgeon’s experience and complication rate. Get every doubt cleared from the surgeon about the surgery as you will be staying awake throughout the surgery and certainly you don’t expect any surprises during that time. Fact#3 Lasik surgery does not guarantee perfect vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reports that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision, but 20/20 does not always mean perfect vision. So if you hear such claims don’t get carried away as that does not mean perfect vision. Fact#4 One may also need additional surgery — called “enhancements” — to get the best possible vision after Lasik. So the overall procedure is not that easy which is shown in most advertisements. Fact#5 Not everyone can have the LASIK surgery performed on them. Generally people with severe dry eyes, certain corneal diseases, and other select eye conditions should not undergo LASIK. Fact#6 It is always better to know the risks involved in the surgery. Laser refractive surgery is surgery. There is no such thing as “minor eye surgery” which is propogated by most advertisements and materials. Complications such as overcorrection, undercorrection, making the pupil off center, damaging the cornea, inflammation, and infection can leave you miserable. Well the statistics say that about 2% or 5% complications occur, but if it happens to you, it’s 100%! Fact#7 It is better to understand the limitations of this surgery. LASIK is used to help correct nearsightedness and astigmatism. Laser refractive surgery will not prevent you from needing reading glasses as you approach middle age. There may be future advancement but, as on date, LASIK patients will need help to read later in life. Fact#8 Always enquire about the alternatives and the methods to correct the vision without the surgery.

This is a normal enhancement procedure of LASIK in patient with regression. You can see how easy lifting of the flap is. A thin spatula is used. After the procedure, patient would feel less pain than usual LASIK.
A patient with a bad LASIK flap requires removal of the entire flap, which disintegrates as the surgeon tries to lift it. The LASIK flap never heals and top surgeons have stated that they don’t know how long it takes to bond with the eye again–no one has lived long enough yet!
