Question
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 GaddyAnswer
I do not treat anyone with dry eyes. If I can treat a dry eye successfully then I will consider lasik. You cannot and should not wear contacts with dry eyes.- can I go blind?
- Is it better to do one eye at a time (wait until one heals first before doing another eye) instead of having the lasik surgery for both eyes at the same time? Thank you.
- Good Morning, I've had Lasek performed one month ago at a laser center in Manhattan. My right eye began to experience ghosting last week. Can you tell me the cause of this? Should this go away gradually over the next few months? Thanks.
- If you had to compare PRK with LASIK, which has the best safety record?
- My vision is -6.00 (right) and -6.50 (right) eye. Is my vision too far gone to see 20/20 again? Will surgery even correct such poor vision?
- I wear glasses for nearsightedness and lately must take them off to read as well. Can both problems be corrected with one laser surgery?
- can i wear contacts up to the time of eye surgery
- If my prescription is +6.00 can I wear contact lenses with +6.50 Thanks
- Are you currently using the Eye-Q laser to treat eyes? If not, when to you expect the use the Eye-Q on patients? Thank you.
