What happens if you blink your eyes during lasik eye surgery?

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:28:15 +0000

I’m always hearing that you’re not supposed to blink during lasik eye surgery and I want to know why.

They keep that from happening. Do you see a lot of people with laser scars on their eyelids? No. So don’t worry.

Recommended Place for laser Eye Surgery in Auckland New Zealand?

admin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:45:24 +0000

My eye’s are really beginning to bother me…I was prescribed glasses around 2 years ago now due to short sightedness, basically I can’t focus properly on distant objects, causing me to feel very tired and sometimes have very blurred vision if focusing into the distance..

Now admittedly I never really took to wearing the glasses full time and hardly ever feel comfortable wearing them. I was thinking about getting contact lenses as I realise how much it is now effecting my life, when a friend recommended to look into having ‘the zap’ as in the long run it will be a lot more better not having to get used to wearing and the pricing of constantlyy buying lenses..

Just wondered if anyone could recommend anywhere plus give a rough price on how much it is?…plus im actually from the UK originally, and could get it done over there so was wondering would it be any cheaper?

Any advice what so ever would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Highly recommended is LASIK . The eye institute in Auckland, it is the best clinic in NZ and always has recent technology and an advanced laser. They have all the usual payment plans. Ask around about their reputation.

Anywhere in UK which will do laser eye surgery on somebody with nystagmus?

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:15:22 +0000

I already know that there is nothing that can be done for my nystagmus at this time, which really kinda sucks. However I wanted to look at getting my numerous other eye problems fixed if anything to alleviate some of the difficulties, so I only have to deal with the nystagmus.

The other eye problems I have are photophobia, myopia and occular albenism (the cause of the nystagmus no doubt)

I know of those the only one laser surgery could fix is the myopia. I’m really just hoping for a difference, any tiny difference woudl be good.

So yeah, if anyone knows of anywhere in the UK which would do it, please feel free to lemme know.

Try contacting the London Vision Clinic.

On their FAQ page, they said laser eye surgery can be performed if you have nystagmus. As they note, it may not treat the condition but will lessen the symptoms.

Good luck!

What is the real problem with teens with lasik?

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:55:17 +0000

Hi so the problem with teens getting lasik is that they’ll need to get it again since their corneas might not be done developing, but can’t they just get lasik twice? What’s the big deal with teens getting lasik, why is it only restricted to adults if that’s the only problem it poses to teens?

The doctor wants to make sure your eyes are stable before doing lasik, which usually happens in the early 20’s. This was a helpful article about the procedure.

I’m thinkiing about having laser eye surgery has anyone had any experiences good or bad?

admin — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 01:21:09 +0000

I’m, thinking about havimj laser eye syrgery at some time in the future, I’ve had an assessmrnt and have been told that I cam have the procedure, does anuone have any experience that they can share with me-is it safe or not does it hurt or not? I’ve been told its safe by certain people but they’re usually the ones selling the surgery. Some one from the medical profession’s advice would be great, but all contributions welcome.

I haven’t had laser surgery but I know many people that have.

The surgeons put special eye drops in your eye that make you unable to feel any pain so the procedure is painless.

Some of my friends that got lasik done say that they actually ended up with better vision than they ever had with glasses or contacts. However the downside is that when you reach around age 40 you will most likely need reading glasses.

You must have a stable prescription of at least 2years before you do lasik otherwise your vision could get worse again.

How much will lasik affect my vision?

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:06:11 +0000

I have really bad eyes (not sure about the specifics, but as a reference I can’t read this text from more than 4 inches away with my glasses off). So how much can I expect lasik to improve my vision by?

If you are in focus at 4 inches you probably have at least 10 diopters of myopia or nearsightedness. This can be a limiting factor for LASIK because every diopter corrected requires more removal of tissue. If too little tissue is left, ectasia, or bulging out of the cornea on the eye can result. You may not be a candidate for this procedure and will have to have your corneal thickness measured first. An artificial lens surgically implanted in the eye is another option. Results of LASIK are generally good, but there is no guarantee on results and complications can ocurr. With higher prescriptions a low prescription may still be required, and touch up procedures often can’t be done due to not having enough residual tissue thickness.

With companies advertising from £395 per eye, I’m interested in how much it has cost people recently with different prescriptions: my worst eye is -8.50 with 1.75 astigmatism, so I’m imagining it will cost me a lot…

How Does Getting Laser Eye Surgery Feel?

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:04:28 +0000

I’m 15 and my eye sight is -6.00 on both eyes, and I’m planning on getting Laser Eye Surgery when I’m old enough. I asked my aunts boyfriend about it and he said it didn’t hurt. What I’m worried about is what does it feel like having that clamp holding your eyes opened. And are you able to see anything during the process? I don’t want to see what the doctor is doing because I’m sure it’ll scare me.

Can anyone also tell me the after effects you felt after the surgery?

Step 1 : Before Lasik, you will be asked to lie down on an exam chair. The nurse applied a series of numbing drops to my eyeball, each stronger than the previous, and then clean your eyes. This part of the process is pain free and not too uncomfortable.

Step 2 : The doctor clamped your lids back with a metal tool to hold your eyelids open. This is one of the aspects of LASIK that tends to frighten people, but rest assured, the numbing drops ensure that your eyes will not dry out while the speculum is in place. You will not feel the overwhelming need to blink that you normally feel.

Step 3 : Beginning really Lasik. Create a corneal flap. A whirring sound commenced and your eyeball felt like it was being sucked up and out of your skull. Your vision will likely be blurry for the rest of the procedure. It is no pain, however, it may make you slightly nervous and frightened.

Step 4 : Laser treatment. After the flap is created and lifted, the surgeon will position the laser over your eye and ask you to keep your eyes focused on the light. The light is not actually the laser itself, it just helps keep your eyes fixed. You will feel an arcing slice in the surface of your cornea, and you may start to smell burning tissue. It is no pain and not uncomfortable.

Step 5 : After Lasik, most patients experience little or no discomfort. However, everyone’s experience is different, and some patients will experience mild to moderate discomfort for a few hours. Some watering of the eyes and a mild burning sensation are common occurrences up to 12 hours after LASIK. You may also experience a mild to moderate foreign body sensation, a gritty feeling or a feeling that something is "in" your eye for a few hours after Lasik.
