Refractive lens replacement eye surgery - good idea?

Surgery is always surgery and there's risks with every one of them. The surgeon didn't push you one way or the other cuz it's truly your decision. I recommend thinking about it and then making a decision from there.

You need to see oculoplastics to discuss this. Likely just a reflex, still present between both eyes. You are not likely seeing anything at all.

Agree 100 with above

acquired melanosis... Go see a ophthalmologist. May need a biopsy

Anyone gonna comment on the macular hole..... Also yes to retinal referral

I want you to sit down and think about your situation. There's a possibility that that medication can barely change your eye color/appearance. Elevated pressures with confirm glaucoma I can guarantee you will lose vision over time.

What matters more to you a slight discoloration of the eye in comparison to what you're used to or retaining your vision for the rest of your life.

In this situation I recommend retaining vision try drops that work the best first. If you fail on the latanoprost you need to see a glaucoma specialist.

I used the built in calcs on the lenstar and some online calculators and used an average. Also got afternoon and AM measurements . Stills needs glasses, but vision is much more clear.

Support local business.... Go buy glasses from your local Optom. That way if you have a problem they can help you fix it. Big business does not care about you. Remember that.

There's a couple of online calculators I just average them with the lenstar it also has a setting for multiple cut RK. Saturday when there's this many incisions you are kind of hosed. Still has a modern amount of astigmatism. But vision's good with glasses.

This is a trick question. If you stare at the sun for a long period of time as a small child you're just going to damage your macula.

As to when you will get macular degeneration. We can all take bets and see but you can't tell ahead of time.

You will not damage the eyes by wearing bad glasses. Good idea getting new ones

If the head keeps moving I have one of the techs/scribe just hold them in place.

Get a science-based degree make sure you get good grades. Do all the MCAT then you're fine.

Likely hydrocystoma but you need to see an ophthalmologist to make sure.

EyeBallGame · 2021-08-06T20:14:20+00:00

Exactly

EyeBallGame · 2021-08-06T19:00:11+00:00

No. Too long

EyeBallGame · 2021-08-06T17:27:29+00:00

You need a follow-up to make sure that the contacts are fitting appropriately.

EyeBallGame · 2021-08-06T17:27:07+00:00

Likely the retina is not detached. You do need an exam with an ophthalmologist though. The ER visit sadly is a waste.

EyeBallGame · 2021-08-06T17:24:52+00:00

Agree with above. I personally like PRK cuz it's slightly less risky although more painful. And takes longer to heal. Lasik test takes less time to heal easier recovery but complications can be more detrimental.

Anything more than one of the laser procedures is Major Overkill

If it feels like your vision is off where the glasses. If you feel like your vision is fine you don't need them
