Recovery time after PRK laser eye surgery?

Published by admin on March 31, 2010

Hi! A week ago I had PRK eye surgery done. I was -7.6 D in both eyes. In one eye things are going well and I can see great- but in the other things are very very blurred (also dubble.) I can hardly (/not) read in this eye.

Is it time to panic and regret the the choice or do I need to wait a lot longer?

I am thinking that recovery time depends on each person individually.
I had PRK done 1 week- 2 days ago & I still have blurry vision.
Due to the thinness of my cornea, PRK was my only choice.

I am still extremely light sensitive. Up until today, I spent the past 9 days basically in bed! I had a rough time. I am hoping my vision clears up soon. I guess it’s ‘normal’, but just in case, call your eye Dr.
If I had to do it over, I would not!
I was told that there’s only a 1% chance of anything going wrong during/after the surgery, so I will wait a few weeks before I get nervous about my eyesight.
Good luck with your healing.

Published by admin on March 31, 2010

Are there any new technologies in prototype which will make this safer?

they are constantly trying to find newer and better ways for laser corrective surgery. There is a lot of reseach being conducted at the moment but it is not advertised or published yet as laser corrective surgery is a very competitive market and nobody wants to give away their ideas or secrets until they have mastered it first

What degree do I need to become an eye doctor?

Published by admin on March 31, 2010

Its my first year in college & I’m hoping to get my associates degree. I don’t want to do any type of surgeries or anything like that. I just wanted to do eye exams and diagnose eye problems and stuff like that. I’m not sure what I should get my associates in, arts or science? And what other schooling would I need?

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine which deals with the diseases and surgery of the visual pathways, including the eye, hairs, and areas surrounding the eye, such as the lacrimal system and eyelids.

Just been to Eye specialist, can someone help please?
have been having a lot of pain, bneen to specialist and he said I have something that sounded like Tegersons/Teegersons/ condition in my eyes… has anyone heard of this as I cant find anything on it on the internet, but there again, I have no idea how to spell it!

It is most likely tear duct problem, therefore if you want to search further try that route.

If you have medication for it ask your pharmacist.

How much does lasic eye surgery cost? To correct nearsightedness?

Published by admin on March 31, 2010

Is lasic eye surgery painful? does anyone have any info on it?

I got mine done before christmas. completely painless, during and even after. my eyes were a LITTLE dry, but nothing unbearable, and even if it did hurt, it’s definitely worth it. I was in there for about 2 minutes. and it cost 2990 for BOTH eyes. also, don’t get lasik, it’s not a good. get PRK instead. It’s usually more expensive, but much much better in the long run!

Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
When the operative field is numb, the doctor will carefully remove the epithelium, or top layer of cells, exposing the stroma – the non-cellular portion of the cornea. Medical Malpractice

Next, your doctor will use a computer to control pulses of cool laser light.
These pulses will delicately remove microscopically thin layers of cells from the stroma. By removing tissue in this manner, your doctor will tailor the new shape of your cornea according to the exact nature of your vision problem. Medical Malpractice

The entire procedure usually takes about 5 minutes and is painless.
Following surgery, you’ll be given protective contact lenses to wear for a few days while the outer layer of cells grows back.
