| I was told I couldn’t do Lesik because my corneas are too thin almost ten years ago. It’d be delightful if I could do it now. YOU PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE THIN CORNEAS, THE PERSON YOU SAW ABOUT LASIK WAS JUST NOT VERY ACCURATE IN HIS EXPLANATIONS, PROBABLY YOU HAVE A NORMAL THICKNESS CORNEA BUT A HIGH RX, AND THE LASER REMOVES MORE TISSUE FOR HIGHER RX’S, SO THEN YOU WIND UP WITH NOT ENOUGH CORNEA LEFT TO BE SAFE. THIS IS WHY I HELPED INVENT LASEK WHEN I WAS AT HARVARD, BECAUSE MY SKIPPING THE MOST DANGEROUS STEP WHICH IS CUTTING THE LASIK FLAP, WE HAVE MUCH MORE TISSUE TO WORK WITH, SO CAN LASEK SOMEONE WHO IS -10 AND LEAVE BEHIND MORE CORNEA THAN IF I WAS TO DO A LASIK FOR SOMEONE WHO IS -6
How long do I need for recovery after surgery if I could do the surgery? AT YOUR AGE AND RX ABOUT A WEEK, BUT IT DEPENDS ON YOUR PROFESSION FOR OBVIOUS REASONS What’re complications after the surgery? YOUR MAIN WORRY WOULD BE SCARRING IF YOU DON’T TAKE THE STEROID DROPS, BUT THEN THAT WOULD BE YOUR FAULT, AND ALMOST NONE OF THE -10 TO -20 PATIENTS ARE NON-COMPLIANT LIKE THIS, AS THEY DO NOT TREAT IT SO CASUALLY AS DO SOME OF THE DUMBER -3 PATIENTS, PARDON MY FRENCH:) PLEASE CALL MY OFFICE # BELOW AND SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION WHERE DR AYASH OR MYSELF WILL MEASURE YOUR CORNEAL THICKNESS, DO THE DIAGRAM WITH CALCULATION IN FRONT OF YOU TO PROVE YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH CORNEA TO GET RID OF YOUR ENTIRE RX IF YOU GET LASEK!:) |
