How to prevent glaucoma in dogs?

Q. Our dog recently got kicked in the head by a cow, and his eye seemed fine until we took him to the vet where they did surgery to remove dead blood vessels. Now it looks terrible and we're worried about glaucoma. Anyone with the same experience?

A. No, I never ever had that experience. I only had one dog in my life, when I was 7. He was put to death because he attacked my neighbor. My dad never told me what happened to him until late 2007. He was gone in 1997. It was an Alaskan husky. For your information, i would recommend, having your dog checked out by other experienced vets.

How accurate LASIK or Laser Eye Surgery is?, and what is the difference between LASIK and Laser Eye Surgery?

Q. I am planning to do a LASIK or Laser Eye Surgery, does it has any disadvantages doing it? and what is the difference between Laser and LASIK, which is better and why, I am hesitating whether to do it or not, also I don't know which one should I choose LASIK or Laser.

P.S. My vision is not so bad, it is something like 1.7 - 2 degrees deviation, am just sick wearing glasses. :)

Thanks in advance.

A. LASIK stands for LASER assisited In-Situ Keratomileusis, so there is a Laser being used on your eye during the procedure. The doctors will make a "flap" of your cornea using a microkeratome and then apply the Laser to your cornea shaping it and correcting your vision. They carefully replace the flap and you're done. It is important after LASIK that you do not rub your eyes for a couple of weeks to let the flaps heal back to normal. Your doctor will provide shields for you to wear at night so you don't rub your eyes while you're sleeping.

The only really negatives that occur regularly are:
A) Dry eyes, if you have dry eyes prior to the procedure they will be more dry after the procedure.
B) Your correction isn't totally corrected - you may need an enhancement to get your vision perfect.
C) If you have Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses) and you have both eyes corrected for distance, you will still need reading glasses, you can talk to your doctor about possible Monovision or Mini-Monovision if you're just about 40 or over 40.

Laser Eye Surgery is for people with complications in their retinas, or Glaucoma. A Laser is applied either cauterizing blood vessels in a wide range of spots and sizes for retina. It can be used to open angles in narrow angle Glaucoma. It can also be applied to patients that have cloudiness after cataract surgery to remove cloudiness.

I wear my contacts sometimes 3 to 4 months without changing them or taking them out at night, what is the risk?

Q. I usually wear my contacts a long time like 3 to 4 months before they even bother me, i never take them out at night either. What risk am i putting myself at, i have been told scarring, and cyst but that's about all, and if those are true then would Lasik eye surgery remove them and fix my eyes, because more than likely i have scarring.

A. Here are the risks:
Neovascularization is what happens when your cornea does not get enough oxygen. Blood vessels grow onto your cornea.
Infections and ulcers are what happen when bacteria or fungi get on your contacts and start chewing up your eyes. Sometimes this is not observed as soon since it is happening under your contact.
Hypersensativity to your lens and deposits on your lens is what happens when your eye is exposed to your lenses for extended periods of time and starts to treat it like the foreign object it is.
All of these things make you a worse candidate for LASIK. You can't abuse your eyes and expect surgery to fix it.

I want to have eye surgery & im not sure how i'll convince my parents. Help?

Q. okay, i have brown eyes and there's nothing special about it and i've always wanted different colored eyes. I did some research & saw you could have lazer eye surgery to remove some of the pigments from your eyes in order for them to change color. That's it a 20 minute percedure that costs around 5000 dollars. I need to convince my parents, i want this more than anything. Please help<3 How do i break the knews to them effectively!

A. ive heard about these procedures, theres the laser and then inserting some permanent thing in your which changes it completly first i can say it is quite dangerous be willing to take the risk becuase the procedures have gone wrong before and people are left with horride blurry vision and blindness. i heard someone was left with a pool of blood in their eye! and you have to pay to get it removed! its really not worth it.
