But can't help the fear of getting it done. Plus the idea of not being allowed to scratch your eyes hard (just in case I forget) scares me. I've got a friend who got Lasik a couple of years ago and upto this day brings a bottle of eyedrops as his eyes are always dry. Seems like a hassle. Though my brother said it's the best decision he made - everything is HD when you wake up. Can't decide. Hi Good day, Dry eyes is one of possible effects after having LASIK. However, the benefit and comfort of not wearing glasses in order to see things clearly weighs far more as compare to the side effect of the procedure. By the way, not all patients experience dry eyes as a side effect. I do screen patients meticulously prior to the procedure. Quote Link to comment

They may have their eyes check to determine whether there is a possibility of regression. Regression is the process where in there is residual astigmatism or power as the cornea heals. They may opt for another procedure to lower the grade of the eye po. Hope this helps po 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you heard of SMILE? I heard it was a better version of LASIK. Quote Link to comment

Capsicle Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I was advised to undergo this procedure years back when I needed a 20/20 vision to enroll in a maritime academy. Unfortunately, that was also the time I was diagnosed with Glaucoma so the doctor said to not continue on Lasik. Doctor said they won't be able to monitor my glaucoma once the surgery is done.

Predictability of the visual outcome is still depends on the patient`s recovery from the procedure. Hope I was able to answer your inquiry. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment

We need to first evaluate your eyes if qualified po kayo for LASIK. Your expectations from the procedure may also be a factor po. 1 Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately, that was also the time I was diagnosed with Glaucoma so the doctor said to not continue on Lasik. Doctor said they won't be able to monitor my glaucoma once the surgery is done. The reason why we can't do LASIK on a Glaucoma patient is because we need a considerable amount of pressure to mount the microkeratome blade in order to make the flap seamless. In the process, pressure is being exerted on the eye for it to achieved an air tight seal while doing LASIK in order the laser to function properly. The pressure exerted on the eye might increase the intraocular pressure of the eye thereby aggravating your existing glaucoma.. Hope I was able to shed some light in this issue. Thank you.

We need to evaluate whether your color blindness is acquired or congenital. If you are indeed color blind, then LASIK will not be the solution to restore your color vision. You may see objects clearly after LASiK however, you may still have color deficiency. In this case, I won't offer you LASIK since the optimum benefit of the procedure can not be achieved. Hope I was able to shed some light po. Quote Link to comment
