What does the future hold for LASIK eye surgery? I'm going to school to become a commercial pilot. Obviously my career depends on being able to see 20/20 with or without correction (I'm 20/200 without contacts, slight astigmatism). I'm 30 years now but have considered eye surgery my entire life. (even RK back in the day). Obviously technology has improved by leaps and bounds. When LASIK rolled out I thought how could it get better than this? My best friend is a MD and he told me to hold off for a few years (this was 4-5 years ago) and now we have custom wavefront LASIK. I have had friends who've had both done with excellent results. Now with wavefront LASIK advancements, what else is on the horizon??? Are some stellar new techniques currently being developed that will roll out in the next 4-5 years? My eye doctor is suggesting PRK. Night vision problems could also end my career. I've heard there is less chance of reduced night vision (halos /startbursts) with PRK. The NAVY only allows PRK surgery for their pilots.

Eye surgery? Hello I’m 26 and I wear eyeglasses & sometimes contacts. My eye vision is 450/20 in my left & I think 300/20 in my right. Last year I went to have lasik eye surgery but my left eye was not stable. I decide to not get the procedure done. I’m thinking about have it done this year that’s if my eye is stable. I was told that my eyesight would be around 25/20. I’m looking at the “NOW” picture which is that I don’t have to wear glasses. But for the long run: Will I have to have the surgery again, is it possible to wear contact if need afterwards, could I go blind or have double vision? What is your input?

Eye surgery? My eyes are always red, and they seem to become really bothered after I've been awake for quite some time.. I went to an eye doctor and they said it was the tear glands, or something of the sort, was closed shut making it so my eyes didn't moisturize themselves causing my eyes to become red. But then I went to a regular doctor and they said it could be eye allergies.. And I've tried the drops they proscribed and it didn't help anything.. I was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and knows any type of information on the subject of eye surgery for opening tear pores, I guess? Any info would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Lazy eye surgery? I'm in my early twenties and my eyes don't work together. I was crossed eyes as a young kid...actually one y/o. I had surgery and patches which corrected the crossness of my eyes (originally they were both looking toward my nose). But neither treatments aligned my eyes together to work together. The doctor wanted to do another surgery after the initial one and patches, but I never had that done. Do you think that was to fix the actual alignment? Anyway, if I am looking straight ahead the eyes look aligned together and I can see with binocular vision. But if I look right or left only one eye turns...and like I can actually SEE myself looking straight with one eye and to the left/right with the other. I can control movement of my eyes so they don't "drift" off randomly though...but I'll still be looking straight with one and the side with the other. I'm soo self conscious about it...I heard of adults getting alignment surgery...does it work well? Will it fix alignment of my eyes so that they work together and move in the same direction/same time?

Lazy eye surgery?? In my early twenties now, I had 'crossed-eyes' when I was almost one year old. I had a surgery and patches to correct it. Now my eyes turn away to the side sometimes on their own. And they don't move "together," either. Like my left eye goes left if I look that way, but my right eye will remain straight...or go in the left DIRECTION slightly, but not moving with my left. I think one eye's muscles are weaker than the other. Or maybe they're both as strong/weak equally, and the problem is they aren't ALIGNED together? Would I need a eye muscle strengthening surgery or an eye alignment surgery? By the way, I have no clue if these exists...I'm just giving it my own name, ha ha. And anyway know what the recovery time is like? Is it out patient under a general or local? How "normal" will my eyes look afterwards? Will I need to wear a patch afterwards or no? AND will my insurance cover the cost? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

strabismus (lazy eye) surgery? I had strabismus surgery around age 5 for a slight outward eye turn. The prodedure made my eyes worse. Now my eye turns inward. It alternates between both my eyes. I can choose which eye I want to use and the opposite eye turns in. When I'm tired or stressed out, the eye turn gets worse. My question is if it's worth getting the surgery again? How will the doctor know how much muscle to cut because there is always a fluctuation in how severe my eye is turning in? I'm 23 now, has there been dramatic improvements to strabismus surgery in the last 17 years? I'm just very skeptical on getting it done because one surgery has already made it worse. Thanks for your advice.

But if I look right or left only one eye turns...and like I can actually SEE myself looking straight with one eye and to the left/right with the other. I can sorta force my straight looking eye in the direction of the other eye so it appears aligned, but looked closely and you can kinda see they aren't. But just naturally, my one eye will be looking straight and the other will look left/right...but I CAN control when it moves..

Laser Lasik Eye Surgery long term effects? I have been thinking about going for Laser eye surgery, my vision is like 4 and 4.50. I used to wear contacts all the time, until my eyes got very dry and now I can't even wear a contact in my right eye - it hurts when I am taking it out and the contact stuck to my eye. I would like to know if there are any long term bad effects after Laser eye surgery, e.g. will my vision worsen in the future as I'm now only 24, and what happens if I suffer cataracts when I'm old? Am I still able to have another eye surgery to fix that problem? Also, has anyone had such a problem with contacts being stuck to the eye and being very painful to remove?? I mentioned it to my optometrist and she said my right eye was severely dry. But even after resting my eyes by not wearing contacts & wearing only glasses for a few months, when I tried wearing my contacts again, I could hardly wear it in my right eye for more than 1 hr. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got eye surgery? Ptosis, possible sunken eye.? since birth, I have had, what I thought was ptosis. It wasn't very noticeable at first, but it has gotten worse. I went to an eye specialist when I was 6(twelve years ago) and he diagnosed me with ptosis, of course. Upon going to a cosmetic surgeon last month, he informed me that I didn't have ptosis, but infact, had a sunken eye. I was told that a surgery involving a spacer behind my eye would be the only real fix. My question is, is this dangerous? I've heard that some people weren't able to close their eye after this surgery! I've heard quite a few horror stories. Has anyone had this surgery? is it worth it? Would a cosmetic surgery be better?

Dry eyes and laser eye surgery? I would LOVE to have laser eye surgery, but I have very dry eyes. I have heard that one should not get laser eye surgery if they have dry eyes because the surgery only makes them drier. Is that the case? Could anyone please give me examples if you have had it yourself or your experience with the surgery?

How much does eye surgery for a dog usually cost? If your dog had any type of eye surgery, how much was it? My puppy has a left eye that crosses. We took it to a opthamologist for animals and she said that it is basically a cosmetic problem. It's not Collie eye but it is a Sheltie. It can see out of the eye but naturally, it's vision is a bit impaired to the left side. She said there is a surgery that they can do when it's 6 months but it may or may not work. The pup is really beautiful but the eye does make it look goofy (sad but true!). I'd also love for it to do agility but I'm afraid that it'll run into obstacles or fall of the dogs walk or something with it's vision being impaired like that. I love the puppy no matter what but I do want it to have the surgery. How much do you think it'd cost including anethesia? If you had a dog that had ANY kind of eye surgery, roughly how much was it? What would you do? Thanks for any advice or information.

laser eye surgery question? I have very bad eyesight right now (my contacts are 3.25 and 4.50 diopters for my right and left eyes, respectively, and I think the diopters for my glasses are even worse). I want to get laser eye surgery in the future (I'm not eligible now because I barely turned 17 a month ago). I was just wondering how long should I wait to get the surgery, what condition my eyes need to be in to qualify for surgery, and how much should a good surgery cost?

eye surgery and sky diving? I am 21 years old and at 18 years old i had my retina detach. they fixed by placing a sclera buckle around my eye, as well as gas to repair the retina. I have also had cataract surgery, and a vitrectomy of the eye to get rid of constant floaters. I will also have a surgery to fix the tear duct in the eye... Ok so does anyone who has had some of the these surgerys know if i can go skydiving? or what i cant do now that i have had these surgeries? I have tried calling my doctor, but they wont return my calls. I wil keep trying if no one answers this!!!

Lasik, eye surgery, where is it cheaper? Hi all, I was thinking about doing the eye surgery, Lasik, and I was wondering if there is a place where I could have it cheaper. My myopia is -2.50 for both eyes, and I have a small -0.25 astigmatism at the right eye. My eyes are blue and pretty sensible, the best price I could get was around 1500 euros (1000 pounds). I actually here in the US and I saw surgery for 250pounds, but I a bit sceptical about doing it in a rush. Do you know if it's possible to have this kind of surgery for a "reasonable" price. I mean cheaper, 1000 pounds is a bit heavy for my finance, and I'd really enjoy to get rid of my glasses, I had to wear it my all life.. Thanks for reading!

Lasik Eye Surgery? My eyes are awful... one is -9.25 and the other is -7.25, I also have astigmatism. My eye doctor told me a few years ago my eyes were too bad to have lasik surgery done but he could insert a lens into my eye (kind of the way they do cataracts? from what I understood). Has anyone ever had this surgery done? Is any surgery able to correct my awful vision?

How Can Laser Eye Surgery Help With Someone Who Has Amblyopia ? I am an adult that has Amblyopia,(was not correct as a child) as far as I was aware, nothing can be done to make the eye better after the age of 8. I looked into having some laser eye surgery a few years ago,& was told that I am not suitable. Now I am getting conflicting information. I have since found out that a company would do the treatment, I have also recently been back to the first company that I asked and they say I am not suitable. I am confused, how can any eye surgery make a bad eye see clearly again ?. Amblyopia is when the eye decides to switch off from the brain at an early age because the signal from the brain to that eye are not the same as the other eye. I dont need to know anymore about the condition. Just, how are these surgeons claiming that the sight can be restored (if it was never there). I am very longsighted, my good eye is +5.00, and I couldnt tell you what the bad eye is, there is some slight vision(not blurred but like double). Thanks

can LASIK eye surgery treat lazy eyes? i have a lazy eye. just my left eye. im wearing contact lenses and sometimes glasses. however i want my eyesight to improve without wearing either contacts or eyeglasses. ive heard of lasik eye surgery and as per my doctor it isnt advisable. do you think lasik eye surgery would still work even for lazy eyes?

Candians: Lasik Eye Surgery? If you're Canadian, where did you get your lasik eye surgery done at? Which doctor? How long did it take you to go under the light? (Like, how long did it take when you first decided you wanted to go and get the surgery done?) I am native american, I have a tax card. I hear it is $400 a eye down here in Nova Scotia.. Did it sting alot? If so, how long? Is there anybody out there whose eyes got f'd up after lasik eye surgery? Share your stuff.

Cosmetic eye surgery? Is there a cosmetic eye surgery (not a brow lift), that doesn't involve taking fat out of the top of the eye? I just want to have wider eyes, is there a surgery that can just make eyes bigger without taking fat out? Thanks, I'll choose a best answer!

Eye surgery and eye replacement.? Can an eye be removed and replaced (by an eye of a different person) and can the new eye function as normal? If not, is it probable to have this type of surgery in the near future? (This is a hypothetical question. I'm just perplexed as to whether is had, or could, ever happen.)

Laser eye surgery??? Would it be bad if I got laser eye surgery??? I am 17 but the last time I went to the eye doctor my prescription didn't change so do you think I would be able to get eye surgery??? (I know people usually wait til their early 20s to get it but a friend of mine who's my age is able to get it since her eyes have finished developing). Thoughts on this???

Is there a way to cure nearsighted eyes besides laser eye surgery? I'll do anything do get my eyes cured but I'm not old enough for laser surgery.

Retina detachment - Does anyone know if it is possible to get some kind of lasik eye surgery? 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.

Should I wait to get laser eye surgery until after pregnancy? I'm 23 and I don't plan on getting pregnant for a good ten years. I've heard that your eyes can change during pregnancy. So the question really is - if I get pregnant and my eyes change, can I get the surgery again? I have an astigmatism and I'm afraid that if I wait too long to get the surgery done, my astigmatism will become worse and inoperable. Any suggestions?

laser eye surgery? I dont have the best eyes in the world. I think my perscription is 4.25 and 4.50. I also have Amblyopia lazy eye. I'm 20 years ol;d and I have allways hated wearing glasses. I have heard allot of good thing about lasik and other procedures. I really want to get something done with my eyes. Any one know if laser surgery would be a good idea for me for me ? I've also heard that it better to wait until your late twenties to get it done but thats with a regular condition. Any info on laser eye surgery is very much appreciated. Thanks again Glen
