Question 1

I had LASIK surgery last month on the 18th but my vision still feels blurry in both eyes. My right eye is slightly better but has some dullness, while my left eye sees double red lights when looking at red-colored light. Is this normal after LASIK or should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

While some degree of blurry vision and halos/glare are common after LASIK, seeing double red lights is not typical and warrants a follow-up with your surgeon. It's crucial to address this, especially if the symptoms persist beyond the first few weeks of recovery

Question 2

I'm 17 with an eye power of 13 in both eyes - will I be eligible for LASIK, ICL, or other vision correction surgeries when I'm older? My vision's pretty bad and I'm worried about whether these procedures would work for me in the future

Accepted Answer

ophthal opinion is advised to the patient .

Question 3

I've been using preservative-free lubricant eye drops for about 10 months after my LASIK surgery and I'm wondering if long-term use is safe for my eyes. Are there any side effects I should be aware of with either preservative or preservative-free drops? I'm a bit concerned about potential harm from using them for so long.

Accepted Answer

It depends. Every LASIK patient experiences different levels of dryness and can use preservative-free eye drops after LASIK until the dryness abates. However, if you experience extreme and persistent dryness, do bring it to the attention of your doctor.

I'm having trouble deciding between two IOL options for my cataract surgery AcrySof IQ and ProPak IQ MP KitViscoat. Can you help me understand which one would be better for my situation? I'm a bit unsure about the differences and what would work best for my eyes.

Pl consult your ophthalmologist, so that he will evaluate and do the needful
