Question
I have Keratoconus i've been given the gas permable lenses I don't really wear them because there not comfortable is there any laser surgery available for people with Keratoconus?Answer
Unfortunately there is no laser treatment for KC. In fact KC is a contraindication for lasik. A mild KC can sometimes be treated with PRK. Your surgeon will have to evaluate you. Some a benefit from a suregry known as "INTACS".- can I go blind?
- Is it better to do one eye at a time (wait until one heals first before doing another eye) instead of having the lasik surgery for both eyes at the same time? Thank you.
- Good Morning, I've had Lasek performed one month ago at a laser center in Manhattan. My right eye began to experience ghosting last week. Can you tell me the cause of this? Should this go away gradually over the next few months? Thanks.
- If you had to compare PRK with LASIK, which has the best safety record?
- My vision is -6.00 (right) and -6.50 (right) eye. Is my vision too far gone to see 20/20 again? Will surgery even correct such poor vision?
- I wear glasses for nearsightedness and lately must take them off to read as well. Can both problems be corrected with one laser surgery?
- If my prescription is +6.00 can I wear contact lenses with +6.50 Thanks
- can i wear contacts up to the time of eye surgery
- Are you currently using the Eye-Q laser to treat eyes? If not, when to you expect the use the Eye-Q on patients? Thank you.
