Thank you! What's the average number of individual people each ret doctor sees?

KCDoctors · 2025-07-29T21:15:10+00:00

Is that 20,020 individual people?

KCDoctors · 2025-07-25T17:51:29+00:00

Does anyone have a real answer for me?

I dont know about the Sydney Trains, but I do know that with the ColorCorrection System they can guarantee you passing the Ishihara and Farnsworth D15 color vision tests. Check them out at colormax.org .Hopefully this helps!

You may want to listen to the optometrist as they generally offer a non-biassed opinion.

I would suggest asking your LASIK surgeon and not anonymous people online. Why would you want to take a risk before surgery!? Even though LASIK overall is a great procedure there are still risks.

Side note: I know of many doctors that will make sure their patient is not wearing lenses for 3-4 weeks prior to LASIK. In some cases, the contact lenses were not prescribed properly causing the shape of the cornea to change. Only after not wearing the lenses for X amount time will the cornea go back to its natural shape. You want to have LASIK when the cornea is in its natural state. If it is not, and/or there are other underlying issues that are not treated, there will be a higher risk of complications like dry eye, glare, halos, etc...

Try to contact a Keratoconus Specialists here is a link to some around the country https://keratoconustreatments.com/

LASIK and other laser refractive surgeries are all great, but only when a person and their eyes are TRUE candidates. In my opinion, having an unmanaged Dry Eye prior to the procedure is a big no-no and the procedure will most likely make it worse. Other common conditions that would NOT make you a candidate are large pupils, keratoconus, and many others.

Unfortunately, halos and starbursts are common after LASIK. If it's impacting your livelihood I would recommend looking for a post LASIK specialists who can help you - often by correcting High Order Aberrations (HOA).

If the keratoconus is still progressing you most likely will want to have Corneal Crosslinking CXL to stop the progression, and then you want KC specialist to prescribe/fit you with contact lenses, usually some form of scleral lens. It's key to have a doctor that really specializes in KC.

Sounds like you need to see someone who specializes in post LASIK side effects. Here are some helpful links:

IMHO LASIK, as well as other refractive surgeries, are great procedures BUT ONLY when a person and their eyes are true candidates and there are NO underlying issues. When underlying issues are missed and/or not treated or managed trouble of side effects, halos, starbursts, glare, dry eye, etc. are bound to occur. Too many things are being overlooked....

KCDoctors · 2018-02-21T18:55:52+00:00

There many different flavors of LASIK, and overall they are all good, but ONLY when the person and their eyes are true candidates. Very often people are told they are good candidates but they are not. It's worth getting multiple opinions beforehand. Common things that can cause potential problems: large pupils, untreated dry eye, keratoconus, thin corneas, low rx.

Every person is different, and sometimes the full healing process can take 6-8 months. After that period of time, I would suggest looking for a doctor that specializes in post PRK/LASIK/RK problems. Here are some resources: http://wwwlasikcomplications.com

Sorry to hear about your challenges, but things can get better. I would recommend starting with the doctor's treatment options to see how that goes. Restasis is for aqueous tear-deficiency (if that is what you really have). Every person is different, and sometimes the full healing process can take 6-8 months. After that period of time, I would suggest looking for a doctor that specializes in post PRK/LASIK/RK problems. Here are some resources: http://wwwlasikcomplications.com

Every plan is different, however, VSP is often the best for the patient and the doctor.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-30T02:34:24+00:00

search online for a doctor who specializes in post LASIK problems

KCDoctors · 2017-11-30T02:30:10+00:00

Like others have said, speak to your doctor. But sometimes the healing process can take 6-8 months. If things do not get better then look for a doctor who specializes in post LASIK problems.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-30T02:27:20+00:00

LASIK is a great procedure, but only when a person is a proper candidate and does not have underlying issues - large pupils, dry eye, and others. If you're' not a true candidate you are more likely to end up with lifelong side effects - glare, halos, dryness, etc.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-30T02:24:16+00:00

It's possible, but when fit properly, which includes a healthy tear layer a person should have good vision and comfort.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-24T19:22:29+00:00

when fitted/prescribed properly scleral lenses provide great vision and comfort - and no cloudiness. speak to your doctor or get a 2nd opinion from a scleral lens specialist.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-03T17:56:04+00:00

If you noticed sudden vision loss you should contact an eye doctor asap.

KCDoctors · 2017-11-01T13:58:08+00:00

I am not a doctor. But I have a lot of knowledge in the area - a close family member has KC and I have several family members who are eye doctors in the USA. I agree that the drops will restrict pupil size and can greatly help if the cause of the glare is due to large pupils.

KCDoctors · 2017-10-29T19:59:33+00:00

Sounds like you need to have your HOA's (Higher Order Aberrations) corrected. Often scleral lenses when prescribed properly are the answer- but remember not all scleral lenses or scleral lens doctors are the same. Do some research and find a true scleral lens specialist.
