He definitely looks older than 40 years old to me, and the best candidates for LASIK tend to be on the younger side of the age range--since mid-age, you start to develop far-sightedness naturally, because your lens becomes more rigid with age. Some older patients opt for monovision, where one eye undergoes LASIK for nearsightedness,and the other remains untouched and used for farsightedness (much like glasses will have a spot for far-sighted vision amid the near-sighted vision). Your other points may be valid though. Just pointing out that the inventor not undergoing LASIK was not as convincing to me, as his age does not make him the ideal candidate--so why would he choose to undergo a procedure when he is not the ideal candidate? Thank you for posting this information though. I read up on Dr. Rosenthal. It sounds like he is suspecting patients with a history of autoimmune diseases may be at a higher risk of developing corneal neuralgia. He thinks more studies need to be done in this area, but suspects this may end up being a good risk factor for LASIK surgeons to consider in evaluating candidacy for the surgery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-39088396216521188232014-12-08T03:55:26.698-08:002014-12-08T03:55:26.698-08:00My friend is having vision power of L5.9 & R 6...My friend is having vision power of L5.9 & R 6 , she is advised by the doctors to do lasik ,, two types are preffered , blade and bladeless, costwise bladless is too cosltier than with blade surgery .. now her cornea thickness is 499microns , can any doctors advise which is the best to move forward .. i have plan to do with blade surgery ,, willthere be any side effects ?<br />Kindly adviseShaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017345794914810536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-56584582188097901662014-12-05T21:48:11.998-08:002014-12-05T21:48:11.998-08:00So this is also for PRK not just lasik?

I am from Afghanistan and 23 years old, as here are not much qualified doctors because of the situation in my country so many people told me to go to India for treatment, as I went to New Delhi, India I had a relative there who told me to go to a hospital named 'Bharti eye hospital', I had near sightedness in my right eye and my left eye was absolutely perfect but when I saw a doctor for treatment in the hospital he told me that I had problem in my both eyes and he recommended that I do Lasik surgery in my both eyes. I had absolutely no knowledge of what is 'Lasik surgery' as the doctor told me that it is a safe method of treatment which will only take a few minutes and your eyes will be perfect, he absolutely didn't mentioned anything negative with the operation, he didn't told me anything about the risks involved or anything at all. So I I mentioned before I didn't had any knowledge about what Lasik is, I decided to undergo the operation as the doctor assured me that it would heal my eyes. <br />I did it on August, 2011 and since that time my life is nothing but a burden on me. I had glare, halos, star bursts, dry eyes, double vision and my right eye only works around 40 percent, it has been almost 3 years and my eyesight is getting worse, I think every single minute of my life that I would become blind today or tomorrow. After I did Lasik 6 weeks later my father died out of heart attack. I didn't went to India again as I couldn't because of my situation and I didn't had enough money. I went to Pakistan, I saw many doctors there, they all told me that my problem is permanent and can't be treated. Since my operation I can't go to college anymore I can't work or marry as my eyesight near to blind, I am just waiting for my death as there is nothing left for me in this life.<br />Please help me someone, what shall I do, can I be treated? <br />Thank you very much for reading.

The truth is, by the time I went for surgery, vision was so poor that I was legally blind in one eye, only a fraction from the "legally blind" standards for the other eye. So facing the possibility of total blindness, surgery looked pretty attractive to me. After surgery, it took several months to adjust to the reality that I could awaken and see almost perfectly. Prior to cateract surgery,after decades of wearing glasses or contacts, the only time I ever woke up to clear vision was when I'd fallen asleep with my glasses on or my contacts in. <br />That said, I now have new concerns. About a month ago, going for my last post-op follow up, my ophthalmologist spent quite awhile examining both eyes, and finally he informed me that I had torn retinas on both eyes. He said my cateracts were so bad that they had blocked examination of the retinas. He also advised that the retinal tears showed some healing, indicating that the tears had been there for quite some time and were not a result of the cateract surgery. I was given to understand that the treatment, if indeed it required treatment, was not difficult, and I am scheduled for consultation for treatment of both retinal tears.<br />After reading all of this, I have concerns. Should I be worried? I understand that torn retinas can lead to vision loss or even blindness. I do trust my ophthalmologist, but I am a realist. Is it likely that the cateract surgery did, in fact, cause my retinal tearing? And is it better to ride this out and take my chances, or is there greater risk of blindness if I don't go forward with further surgeries?<br />Than you for all of your efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-10164278478140216662014-03-09T06:22:02.763-07:002014-03-09T06:22:02.763-07:00Thanks guys for putting up all the useful info.

You are literally saving lives. There are millions of people around the world who underwent LASIK surgery and now have significantly compromised vision. Many of these problems occurred years after the surgery. There are now new specialty lens technologies available to help this population. In addition, more and more money is being invested by major contact lens manufacturers in an effort to help this ever growing population. The "anonymous" patient who wrote the above letter should not give up hope. Please know that in addition to the millions of hurt LASIK patients, there are several million more patients who lost quality vision due to other refractive surgical procedures such as R-K, ALK, CK, and PRK. As an eye care provider, my suggestion is not to get involved with additional surgeries to correct the vision and comfort issues you now have which resulted from LASIK. The risk of additional damage is significantly higher with each additional procedure.Edward Boshnickhttp://www.lasikhope.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-1591195879646215552014-03-07T07:26:02.940-08:002014-03-07T07:26:02.940-08:00I'm very sorry to hear this.

Unfortunately, we hear thousands of cases like this and everyone has the same story about what LASIK has taken from their lives, not added, and how every year it gets harder and harder to cope with the pain and the visual lack of acuity that were so easily attained with glasses and contacts. Again, I'm very sorry. The FDA is corrupt and is really to blame. There needs to be criminal arrests made at the highest levels. They are responsible for all of us suffering. They need to be in jail for what they knew when they passed LASIK. They always knew the flap never healed. They always knew that we would all eventually have Dry Eye Pain from cutting the nerves and they knew many of which would not grow back or heal or if they did, they would heal in a "mutated sort of way." They knew the safety studies were fraudulently fabricated/falsified. They knew that, and that's why they lied with the original safety studies so they could get FDA approval. Google Morris Waxler Lasik and youtube him too! You'll discover that because of our efforts, he came out and was the one at the FDA who oversaw the team to approve LASIK and is now trying to get the word out that it's NOT SAFE and that it's a crime as he stated it's 20-30x times more dangerous than originally thought to be! He now knows that those in charge of the studies were medical criminals and wants them investigated. Again, people need to go to jail where they belong for what they purposely did to us and to our families...Please continue to speak out and warn everyone that you know that LASIK centers can not be trusted!LASIK ADVISORYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454878522212705080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-13762473922661499362014-03-06T18:07:47.151-08:002014-03-06T18:07:47.151-08:00I had blade-free lasik performed in September, 201...I had blade-free lasik performed in September, 2011 and have regretted almost every day since. Although my vision was corrected, I now have to deal with dry eyes that I cannot get any real relief from. When I reported this fact at my follow up appointment the doctor told me that the issue should resolve itself in 6 months to a year. This never occurred and it is a constant struggle with my eyes. I have used pretty much every brand of eye drop, use a gel at night, have had punctal plugs inserted, and even started taking a fish oil supplement. Nothing seems to work. This whole thing has dramatically decreased my quality of life. Everyday I wish I could go back in time, do some proper research, and never had chosen to do the procedure. I try to hold out hope that maybe there will be a solution some day but it doesn't seem like that will happen. From the time I wake up in the morning until the time I go to bed my eyes bug me and I am constantly reminded of the stupid decision I made. What is worse is that this debilitating condition is not apparent to others and it feels like I am living a one-man struggle. The procedure was performed at laserview of cny located near Syracuse, NY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806712963278024253.post-65284572757230753972014-02-15T02:38:47.948-08:002014-02-15T02:38:47.948-08:00Hi

Yet the physicians and their paid commissioned "clerks" will deny this fact. I would hold out for as long as possible if you can, and then have Cataract Surgery which many do like. If you get LASIK, that will not solver your "cataracts." It only changes the prescription which then makes it harder to "pick the right correction" for you or if you get IOL "intra-ocular-lens" implants with prescription built in, then your doctor will have a tougher time after LASIK, in trying to figure out your exact prescription. Good luck on your decision, check wikipedia for cataract information.LASIK ADVISORYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454878522212705080noreply@blogger.com
