- Hi Doctor. I am currently being treated for dry eyes. My eye doctor has permenantly blocked both my upper & lower tear ducts to see if this helps before he puts me on rystasis (sp?). Right now everytime I put my contacts in, my corneas get highly inflamed. My questions to you is 2 part. Can I get the lasik with my tear ducts blocked & can I get the lasik with my corneas inflamed or do I have to wait till they are better? Thanks for your help. Tara Gaddy

- My cousin has limited or possibly no peripheral vision. She is under the impression that there is nothing that can be done. Is this true? A little history on my cousin - she was born with hydrocephalus. Of couse she has a shunt in her head. She has a lazy eye that wasn't properly treated as a child. I remember that she was supposed to wear a patch over her strong eye to strengthen the weak eye. Because she didn't enjoy this exercise, her parents stopped forcing her to do so. I also recall that there supposedly was an operation / medical procedure that could have been done when she was young to correct the vision problems she was experiencing, but again her parents did not go through with the procedure for fear that something would go wrong. Anyway, my main question remains - is there anything that can be done to correct a person's vision that lacks adequate peripheral vision? Please advise. Thanks and best regards, K.
- I have had lasik surgery approximately 7 years ago. In the past week my eyesight has changed for the worse. I am no longer seeing as clearly. I am unable to see the cable box time, where as before it was perfectly clear. I am very concerned. Is this normal after all these years. I am not a diabetic, or ill which could cause this to happen. Please advise. Ann
- I am 23 and have been found to be a good candidate for eye surgery, however I recently discovered a history of catarcts in my family. My father's mother and three other siblings have had to have cataract surgery. Will this prevent me from getting surgery?

My Pupil size and Eptithelium were in all good. Current presecripton is: Right eye, 5.50,+1.00,105, Left eye,-7.50, +2.50,080.
