What is it like getting Laser Eye Surgery?
Q. I'm sixteen and went to the Ophthalmologist today and have interocular pressure in my eyes of 19 and 21. They say I may have Glaucoma, since my father and my mothers mother had it. I want to to hear from someone who has had laser eye surgery before, what do they do to you? Do they like secure your head in some type of clamp. Are you conscious? Do you feel any type of sensation or pain on your eye?
A. Chuck norris is talking about LASIK which is for refractive error problems. For Glaucoma you will do a Laser surgery but it is for glaucoma and does not touch the cornea at all. It needs to be done before anything bursts in your eye.
Good luck

what laser surgery is commonly used for relieving glaucoma pressure?
Q. I have trauma indused glaucoma in my left eye. The last time I had my pressure taken it was 600.
My sight is 200/200, and my glaucoma drops are no longer working. My doctor has suggested laser eye surgery because I have no other options medication wise.

A. Rachel, Rachel, Rachel you need to listen better. Your pressure is not 600. Your acuity is not 200/200. There are several laser procedures for glaucoma. In your case, it is possible they want to do an iridotomy. Trabeculoplasty is a procedure that is often done for glaucoma but I suspect it is not for you. There are several other things that might need to be done with a laser for someone with traumatic glaucoma.
How can I reduce the pressure in the eye?
Q. My husband had major eye surgery and we are putting eye drops in his eye to reduce the pressure but it is still high. Is there anything else we can do? Any herbs? Sitting in a particular position?
A. i am being serious here.
my dad has glaucoma, and they told him to smoke marijuana. his eye pressure is really high too and every time it gets too high it cuts off more and more of his peripheral vision. someday he will have none left. anyway, to relieve the pressure they told him to smoke marijuana, but he doesn't because you have to constantly do it to keep the pressure down. your husband could talk to the doctor, but i doubt they will prescribe anything along those lines unless the pressure is going to be a permanent thing.

Can I get eye surgery if I have Glaucoma?
Q. Can I get Laser eye corrective surgery if I have Glaucoma?
A. most eye drs would not consider doing laser corrective surgery if you have glaucoma cuz there is a risk that your pressure would become high and you could go blind. as long as glasses and/or contacts re working for you then they don't want to risk your eyesight.
