Post-RK Lasik Eye Surgery (short version)

This condensed video shows a PRK Lasik eye surgery using a radial knife to cut the "flap". Because the patient had previously had RK surgery, the flap had to be completely removed (due to scarring) rather than laid back into place as in typical PRK. The full procedure is generally painless and took only 9 minutes. This video is shortened even further to keep it interesting, however, all steps in the surgery process are still included.

The soundtrack is "St. Thomas" from the "TimeShift" CD by Technician (yours truly), album and single track available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/timeshift/id416810514 full artist discography and CDs available at HTTP://technician.jcmdi.com

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with this. It definitely doesn't work well for everyone, and people should seriously learn all they can about it before going, and also choose their surgeon very carefully....

@jcmegabyte

Thanks very much for your understanding,my friend.I would approciate it very much,if someone could tell me if there is any clinic for post Radial Keratotomy Laser treatmans of any kind in the world,where I could go to...? Greetings from Serbia

Most eye clinics here in the US no longer perform RK, and have changed to laser-based procedures. It should be possible to correct some of the post-RK problems, however, night vision issues (star patterns) are more difficult to fix due to the scars (cuts) on the cornea. Still, there should be some improvement possible, for the burry/doubled vision... Definitely do lots of research and contact some clinics directly to see what laser treatments can be done. Best of luck to you! =)

@WELLGURU I had RK about 15 years ago and my eyes are NOT fine. Both have become progressively more farsighted. My right eye has had poor vision ever since the RK and I rely on my left eye. Right eye is now a +5.0 diopters with irregular astigmatism. Best corrected vision even with glasses is only about 20/40. Left eye is "OK" at +1.0 but I have needed reading glasses for about 5 years now. (I'm 49.) If anyone know of any treatments to treat my post RK sight, please let me know.

It always sounds much simpler than it is... This procedure is more complex than "normal" lasik because of the scarring from previous RK surgery. What normally happens is that the corneal flap is removed, either with a blade or laser, then some of the eye surface is burned-off with the laser to shape it as needed. That flap is then set back into place to heal. In this case, the flap had to be destroyed and a new one allowed to grow back over time...

@jcmegabyte Thanks ^_^

It sounds like you had a much more pleasant procedure than the one shown here... In this case, the patient had previously had a Radial keratotomy surgery, and so the entire corneal flap had to be completely removed, thus the need for a temporary contact lens to pretect the cornea. Good luck with your procedure - I hope you have great vision afterwards! :-)

@jcmegabyte When I had mine a few days ago he didn't put a lens, but it was intralase LASIK.
