Lasik eye Surgery

[HCS_HCS]

Thank you for the explaination. This condition of mine can't be fixed right?

I also realised that under normal indoor lightings, my vision aren't clear enough. Probably because I still have Astigmatism and Myopia leftover after my Lasik.

Under dark environment, your pupil is most dilated / at its largest size. If the ablation zone of the cornea is less than your dilated pupil size, this may be one of the reason why there is halo and glare. Maybe this is something which you can ask.

Is there a correction operation for your case ?
Actually lasik should be able to remove your astigmatism. May I ask how much was yours ?

he earlier posted that EEC Julian wasn't keen to do the correction surgery for him.

and someone else also had the same encounter with the same doctor.

I think it's better to write him off.

If I recall, Lasik correction procedure is Lasek.

For every EEC patient, you will be given 3 years time-frame for correction procedure that waive off the surgery fee, and exclude medication.

Previously mine was about 75 degree for Astigmatism. Now left about 25 degree.

Dr J Theng, was reluctant to do the correction procedure for me, and it was shown all over his facial expression. Also, given me some reasons for me not to do the correction procedure.

Then what was your next step after that ? Can ask other EEC doctors to do ?
I think Theng like what he said is "volume" focused....

I'm not sure if it can be fixed. Perhaps it could be. There are some options u can explore depending on your preference.

1. You can check if you have astigmatism or myopia by going to a optician or optometrist.. If your vision can be made clear through lenses, den It's probably myopia and astigmatism.

2. If u did lasik, u can do an enhancement procedure quite easily. The Lasik flap does not adhere strongly to the cornea thus this flap can be lifted easily for the cornea to be ablated again to correct for residual refractive error. However, you will be subject to the same set of risks at as pertaining to all lasik procedure but at a higher probability since this is an enhancement. I think it's better for you to go back EEC since they would have all your pre-operative measurement and test results. Or you can see another surgeon for an opinion.

3. For the halos and glares, if you know u will be in a low light environment, u can take some actions to alleviate it by making the environment slightly brighter to prevent full dilation of pupil.

4. For your residual refractive error, you can try vision training to improve your visual acuity. You can google Neurolasik. There's quite a few eye surgeons and optical centers that offer this. The results are proven and published in journals so I don't think it is hocus pocus. This is non invasive as no drugs or surgery is involved but it involves your time commitment to go for the computer training for around 15 to 30 sessions.

5. Leave your residual refractive error as it is. A low level of myopia will be helpful when you have presbyopia. I'm. It sure how old you are but when you are approaching 40s, you may not be able to focus on near objects such as your smartphone. A bit of myopia will be helpful in this instance. In fact I think the best scenario if your dominant eye has perfect vision while your non dominant eye has a low level of myopia such as around -1 diopter. In this case, u will be able to see far and near if your are comfortable with the convergence of the vision of both eyes.

I have high myopia of about 1200 per eye and recently did assessment for trans prk lasik.

I was told, due to my high degree, the most the lasik can do is to reduce by about 1050 per eye given my cornea thickness.

This leaves a residual of 150 myopia per eye. Astig cant be corrected, meaning it will stay at my current 150+.

For someone having high myopia for years, this is considered a huge improvement, though perfect vision still isnt achieved.

However if you were me, would u go ahead with the lasik? Or would you hesitate since it still cant give perfect vision?

I won't do it if I still have to wear specs after lasik.

What's the reason why ur astigmatism cannot be corrected? Due to ur high myopia?

 

[outernet]

Yes. She says much of my cornea already used to correct the myopia. Anymore cornea to be used will go beyond the minimum cornea limit.

I tried on the glasses which would roughly be what my 'new' vision is like after lasik with undercorrection. It's not so bad as i can still see fairly clearly with residual degree 150 & astig 150. I can see clearly enough what's on the PC screen and my phone. Only far objects or small words from afar may have a problem.

The doc says it's not so bad to have a little residual power. Cos when i reach above 40, very soon will have 'lao hua' and it will balance off with myopia....

i guess its still a good trade off comparing to the high myopia u have now!

Hi i am thinking of doing the one with the flap because of the faster recovery rate. I know there may be extra flap complications. But are those flap complications common? Anyone did the blade-less lasik care to share? Also is there anything else i should take note of? Like cannot do correction if do flap?

It really depends if u are sway bird for flap. For me, if i would do it all over again i would choose relax smile cause. Fyi i did bladeless flap

hello! oh, what are some of the issues you faced?
but eec don't have relax smile.

EEC has relax smile. Think about the flap, it is a wound after all and there is a risk of flap dislodging

How much is EEC evaluation test?

EEC Julian Theng

Has been 2 weeks since I did Epi-Lasik + Cornea Cross Linking @ EEC by Julian Theng. Vision has been blurry ever since. Have noted that my vision got more blur after taking out the bandage lens and till now it has not gotten better. I have called the clinic to enquire about my vision. However, they said that it is normal for my vision to be blurry and still fluctuate as it's only my 2nd week, everything is normal. However, I don't feel that my vision is fluctuating... in fact it's either blur or super blur. Am quite worried that my vision will not get better. Anyone has the same encounter as me?

I did Lasek. After taking out my bandage contact lens, vision starts to clear up on the 10th day. However, my vision is still fluctuating and this can go on for up to 2 months. It depends on how fast your eye heals.
