I was looking around on yahoo answers and it says that laser eye surgery might have long term problems.Laser surguries like visio correction or something.But does that apply to retina eye surgery to like repair a tear int he retina will retinal eye surgury might cause might blindness a couple years fromt he surgery???
When I was younger I was hit directly in the eye with a tennis ball. I immediately went to the eye doctor and he told me that I needed to receive laser eye surgery or else my retina was going to detach from my eye. After surgery, it is common for me to see a green light flash in the corner of my eye, usually when at night or in dark areas. Is there a reason why this occurs?
It has been almost 9 years since I had my retina partially detach and I don’t like wearing glasses anymore, so I would like to get lasik eye surgery so I can get rid of the glasses. I wear contacts also.
I had a check up today at laser eye clinic to check if i can have lasik again after 5 yrs as the shortsightness has returned slightly over the years on my right eye and doctor said can’t have surgery anymore as my retina is thin and the reason that the shortsightness has returned is becuase the eye ball has grown and made my vision worse slightly! my qeustion is how does that happen and why my eye ball has grown?
www.preop.com Medical Malpractice and Patient Education Company Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO When the operative field is numb, the doctor will use an automated microsurgical instrument called a microkeratome.Malpractice Medical This tiny instrument will carefully create a thin corneal flap … which remains hinged to the eye. Underneath this flap the inner layer of the cornea, called the stroma, is exposed. Next, your doctor will use a computer to control pulses of cool laser light. These pulses will delicately remove microscopically thin layers of cells from the stroma, Malpractice Medical By removing tissue in this manner, your doctor will tailor the new shape of your cornea according to the exact nature of your vision problem. The entire procedure usually takes about 5 minutes and is painless. The corneal flap is then closed and the surface is rinsed. Following surgery, you’ll be given protective contact lenses to wear for a few days while the corneal flap heals. Medical Malpractice and Patient Education Company

www.preop.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Photorefractive Keratectomy – or PRK Laser surgery – to correct a vision problem. But what does that actually mean? The human eye is constructed like a camera …with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film. In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina. Three of these problems, myopia – or nearsightedness; hyperopia – or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery. Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina – instead of on the retina itself. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved, causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all. In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea …allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the …
