LASEK - PRK - REWORK

[MouthOfEvil]

Could you actually see out of your eye when they were doing this or were you out?

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Yes... but very blurred

[guneetmultani]

r u unconcious while surgery or not

if not then is it nasty...

and after that how to spend 4 days is it pain ??

[ZeusLasikEyes]

@guneetmultani yes concious and only grittiness in eye for a few days

[webkinz102938]

at the end, does it make anybodys eyes water????

[ZeusLasikEyes]

@webkinz102938 Yes

[bsr240]

how long did you have to wear the bandage thing at the end??

and... did it hurt??

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Bandg was in for about 4 days... no didn't hurt

[ZeusLasikEyes]

@bsr240 Your loss

The technology is well proven and very successful

[klimaxxx06]

I'm thinking about lasik...This procedure is different from others i've seen...the fact that the layer on the eye is "scrapped" away..others cut a thin layer flap,, and replace the flap bak over the eye ball..not sure I like this method...the scraping looks abrasive and harsh.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

This was for a particular treatment.... Normal laser treatment nowadays is less invasive :)

[waaromleefik2]

so...

What's happening there? why are they doing that? collor if his/her eyes?

[iRAiNB0Wx3]

ouchhh !

is the person sleeping ? HAHA

[maddog09az]

@iRAiNB0Wx3 no he wasnt sleeping

[hyperburger]

watching this made my eyes water, the only way i could have that done is if they put me out.

[nanitta1000]

hey i'm 19 going in 20.i did the PRK operation 2 weeks ago i'm feeling great nothing is like waking up in the morning and seeing things in colors and so clear.but i think i need more time for my vision to become 20/20.

[lukoh]

Hi.... I saw the entire video. Bu I'm stiil curious to know in which moment de Laser acted to shape the cornea??? In which second it happened??? Because there's a red light blinking all the time!!!

[timmo2k]

i recently went to a lasik open day in london.... and ALL the surgeons wore glasses. Can you tell me why this is?

[sh1monn]

what is that white brush for that seems to inflate?

[denisbarinovx]

WOAH! so you can actually touch your eye ball? :O

Thats amazing!!

[flamable714]

Does it Hurt?? What the chances of success?

[arsenal553]

they dont replace the flap? does a new flap grow back?

[MCgirl10098]

did the metal eye opener things hurt or the ring thing?

[parkavenuelaser]

There is a significant clinical benefit to LASEK and epiLASEK over PRK in terms of a marked improvement in post-op discomfort, rapid healing, better vision, and decreased chances of scarring.

[JoeyStoned]

Um.. Did you like get any morphine? 'Cuz I don't want to expirience the whole thing.. Only the pain after the surgery..

[hpparamt]

I have had 3 unsucessful lasik procedures done within the past 9 years. Each one was intended to fix the previous problem but each one only got worse. I am so sorry I ever had this done and regret ever having met this doctor in Baltimore. She did not know what she was doing and was a careless, and unskilled quack who should have her medical license removed. I have yet to meet a doctor who can help me. Even the so called experts at the Wilmer Eye Clinic of Johns Hopkins could not help me.

[ViolinSoccerRun]

i just tried to hold my eyes so it dont close and i couldnt stand it right now im crying

how did you manage?

it hurts like hell when i tried just now

[Exoime]

what was wrong with the eye?

[freakydude9]

did u cry?

[ZeusLasikEyes]

No....what's there to cry about?

[mousedrag]

we're curious. and it looks like it really hurts

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Local... and you are well awake... Valium might help!!

[td0893]

So...

Do you go under a general or local?

Or can you choose

Because i woulsn't want to be awake for that!

[Filipe112]

Hey, I'm 18, turning 19, and I am studying engineering. After I get my degree I want to join the Air Force for Pilot degree, but I use glasses about a year now. I can't see far away, but I can see close. Do you recommend this kind of surgery? If so, would that be recommended when I am at least 21 years of age? Do you feel any pain before and after?

Please, reply back. :)

[ZeusLasikEyes]

No pain before as he eye is deadened with an anesthetic... a little uncomfortable maybe.

Check with the forces to make sure that they accept the procedure... I don't think there will be an issue but best check first.

[Filipe112]

Thanks for the info. I did check with them and they told me they do accept Pilot applicants who've had surgery. But just one question: inc ase the procedure goes wrong or slightly wrong, is there any risk of getting blind or not be able to see in some parts of our eye?

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Good that you have asked.... things would have to go drastically wrong for a part of the eye to be rendered inoperative.. the best advice would be to select a specialist eye hospital to carry out the procedure.

[mattr7793]

how did u stay so still? were u asleep from anastesea?

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Stay still?.... You just lie there... the eye is anesthetized and you just look at the red light above you.. In most cases the laser auto tracks the eye moment to reduce any variation in postion.

[ethl314]

wads tat they took out? sorry.couldnt understand whats going on here. tat thing they took out looks lyk a torn contact lens.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

I think you are referring to the epithelium which is scrapped of the front of the eye before they laser correct / re-shape the cornea.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Hi... it's like a contact lens... but it is the front skin layer on the eye.... It has to be removed before they laser treat the cornea.. in this case to remove astigmatism left after original Laser Treament.

[theresabischoff1]

I had PRK on my Right Eye and Lasik on my Left Eye at the Howerton Eye Center in Austin. I am very happy with my results. The PRK did take about a week to recover but was well worth it. The Lasik was great the next day.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

This is typical of most patients

[iPikee]

Did this hurt? Please reply.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

No.... maybe a tad uncomfortable

[RiPaN94]

wtf??

[funkmasterfox]

aright thanks alot!

[ellzydroog20]

wow i bet u were releived to close ur eye after all that jesus

[funkmasterfox]

im only 16 yrs old almost 17 and my vision is absolutly horrible i had glasses since 4th grade...do you recommend this? and was it hard to keep ur eye in place how did this work for u

[ZeusLasikEyes]

At 17 your a little to young for the procedure... however once your sight has stabilized for 2 / 3 years you might be a candidate for surgery.. The best advice would be from a trained surgeon... The latest technology tracks the eye movement and you don't have to worry too much about movement... Do I recommend this?... yes it is a life chnaging procedure..

[Unusuallyhappy]

do they put you under for that?

[ZeusLasikEyes]

No... just anesthetic drop in the eye!!!That's why my eye is bobbing around :)

[Chinchillas96]

that's definately gotta hurt

[hackworth]

ah, so that's what they were doing! I had this procedure done about 5 weeks ago, and they never bothered to explain what they were doing as they did it. I was very shocked when they removed the epithelium, as I was not prepared for it. but, all went well and mt vision is now awesome.

[Brodamir]

OMG PLZ SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THIS PROCEDURE IS FOR O_O. And yes I read the info but if the point is in there I didn't find it, I must learn what this does, it look very interesting =O

[bubbah]

It corrects your vision. You'll be able to dump your glasses, basically.

[ZeusLasikEyes]

Hi... the video is to correct some minor residual prescription after Laser eye surgery... The thin layer of skin which covers the eye (Epithelium) is dissolved using a weak solution of alcohol and the skin is scrapped off... then a laser is re-used to re-shape the cornea to get rid of the prescription.. perfect eyesight now!!
