josie_lam asked:


I’ve haven’t gone to the optomologist since I had laser eye surgery last year, but now, I kinda get the feeling that my vision is dimming. Is it just because I’ve gotten use to having a perfect vision and I still want more? I don’t have problem seeing or anything, it’s just a feeling.

Has anyone else experience that?

Nick asked:


People at the office told me it is a little green dot to stare at and keep your eye from moving that much and there is a little ticking sound… I have heard different numbers for how long it is.
I’m having surgery on the 22nd, that stuff is expensive!

Richard S. asked:


I’m going to school to become a commercial pilot. Obviously my career depends on being able to see 20/20 with or without correction (I’m 20/200 without contacts, slight astigmatism). I’m 30 years now but have considered eye surgery my entire life. (even RK back in the day). Obviously technology has improved by leaps and bounds. When LASIK rolled out I thought how could it get better than this? My best friend is a MD and he told me to hold off for a few years (this was 4-5 years ago) and now we have custom wavefront LASIK. I have had friends who’ve had both done with excellent results. Now with wavefront LASIK advancements, what else is on the horizon??? Are some stellar new techniques currently being developed that will roll out in the next 4-5 years?

My eye doctor is suggesting PRK. Night vision problems could also end my career. I’ve heard there is less chance of reduced night vision (halos /startbursts) with PRK. The NAVY only allows PRK surgery for their pilots.

Dell Lugosi asked:


My mom is not a candidate for lasik eye surgery, but she can have eye surgery, which she is kind of scared to have. She has concerns. She would also like to have cataract surgery. I guess that is when they input an implant to make the eye area look younger and healthier. What would be the right thing to do? Which procedure should she have first? I am asking because I know that both procedures may cause swelling, inflammation, some negative effects… Who can she ask about this? Is it safe?

reuben asked:


Can excessive computer use cause cataracts in people who have had eye surgery, specifically RADIAL KERATOTOMY?

And what is the cost of such surgery in Malaysia? Please serious answers only.
Well, did I state that the double eye lid surgery is a surgery that enhance your look, not any health surgery related.
