How long does it take to heal from an eye surgery?
Q. My cousin is getting eye surgery over the summer, to fix her left eye because she cannot blink it at all. So if they are going to fix the muscle of it, how long will she take to heal and she can actually go back to school again? Her school ends the end of May and starts again in the beginning of August. Do you think the doctor will make her go back later? Thank you so much!
A. Muscle surgeries generally have very short healing times, and are often fine within a week to a few months, depending on the size/type of muscle. For an eyelid muscle, I don't think it'll be too long of a healing time.
If she's having any actual EYE surgery, such as a vitrectomy, cataract removal, or corneal transplant, that takes longer. I've had all three - I'm out of any sports for a year, but other than that I'm back to my normal self (except for the whole partial blindness thing).

Has anyone had or know someone who has had a retinal lymphoma?
Q. I am having a biopsy done on my retina within the next couple of weeks. There is a white spot that looks very suspicious and 2 retinal specialist believe it to be lymphoma. I just want to hear of someone who has had the same experience and what you went thru with it.
Over the past 15 months, I have had 8 eye surgeries, 2 corneal transplants, 2 cataract surgeries, 3 laser yag eye surgeries, and a vitrectomy. 5 of these surgeries have been in my left eye and my sight iin that eye is now worse than ever. I probably won't get my sight back in that eye and it may spread to the other one which I have pretty good sight in it now. Any experiences with this would be greatly appreciated.

A. I'm sorry, I haven't heard of retinal Lymphoma. This site has the best Lymphoma info that I know of:

Has anyone had the eye surgery to take out floaters and afterwards your vision is distorted & lite sensitive?
Q. I need to know if someone has had distorted vision and/or light really hurting your eyes after the surgery. If you have, what is it called and can an eye doctor fix it? I can't work, because I can't see. The eye doctors say they can't find anything in my eyes that are causing it? It seems doctors stick together on these things. Please help. Thank you
I am very nearsighted, legally blind, i had the surgery to take out the floaters. Now my vision is distorted, like looking in a funhouse mirror, plus my eyes are so sensitive to light that I need to wear sunglasses. But they cut down my vision, so I can't do that. I'm 47 and a single mom. I can't work. It's awful. Has anyone had any bad results from the surgery that removes the floaters?

A. Vitrectomy for floaters would normally only be done if they are very severe as there is an inherent risk, though with a low percentage incidence, of both retinal detachment and macular problems as a consequence.
That the risk was low is little comfort if it occurs in your particular case.
It's impossible to say without examination, but it sounds as if you may have had a reactive macular oedema after the operation, which could well leave the vision "jazzy" even with best glasses. *If* that's what it is, sometimes that self-resolves after a few months, rarely laser therapy can help, often there is no active treatment.
If dark glasses help, but sunglasses are too dark, glasses can be made with *any* depth of tint.
Assessing both of these will need an eye doctor you can trust.

How to naturally treat lattice degeneration?
Q. I am a 13 year old boy and over the summer, my ophthalmologist told me that I have lattice degeneration. I got a prescription for glasses, and my power is negative 2.25. To the people out there who have knowledge about treating different eye diseases, do you mind giving me some advice as to show i can naturally treat this? Like, what kinds of foods i should eat, and if i should be exercising, etc... Thank You for your help.
P.S. I cant have laser eye surgery.

A. The presence of uncomplicated lattice does not interfere with visual function and does not constitute a high risk for future development of retinal detachment. Prophylactic treatment is clearly indicated only in the context of specific circumstances.[11, 12, 13]
�
Indications for prophylactic treatment �Lattice degeneration complicated by tractional tears as the result of an acute, symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment represents a high-risk situation for future retinal detachment and is an urgent indication for laser retinopexy. Lattice and atrophic holes complicated by progressively increasing subretinal fluid represents an additional indication for surgical intervention.
�The presence of lattice lesions in fellow eyes of patients who have sustained retinal detachment in the first eye may be treated prophylactically. Exceptions may include eyes with greater than 6 clock hours of lattice lesions and eyes with myopia greater than 6 diopters (D). Strong evidence suggests that subsequent retinal detachments may occur as a result of lesions developing in previously healthy retina.[14] Moreover, laser scars may increase vitreoretinal adhesion and increase the risk of future retinal tears. Therefore, this indication is controversial. In the absence of the aforementioned features, convincing evidence does not exist to clearly indicate prophylactic laser treatment of fellow eye lattice lesions.
�Although prophylactic laser treatment may not convincingly prevent subsequent retinal detachment, some authors believe that laser demarcation may limit the extent of future detachments and help preserve the macula.
�
Methods of prophylactic treatment �Laser photocoagulation is the primary method of prophylactic treatment. Recommended laser settings include the following: green, yellow, or red wavelengths via biomicroscope/contact lens or indirect ophthalmoscope delivery systems, duration of 0.1-0.2 seconds, and spot size of 100-200 micrometers. Apply laser in 3 confluent 360° rings around the lesion. Care should be taken to avoid bare retinal pigment epithelium.
�Cryotherapy may be a necessary alternative in cases in which significant hemorrhage prevents laser administration.
�Subclinical retinal detachment (>1 disc diameter of subretinal fluid but < 2 disc diameters posterior to the equator) may be treated more effectively with the conservative scleral buckle approach versus a laser barrier.
�Frank rhegmatogenous retinal detachment may be treated with a scleral buckling procedure and/or pars plana vitrectomy and gas administration. All areas of lattice and retinal breaks should be meticulously sought after and barricaded with laser or cryotherapy.
Also , yes , exercise and a healthy diet is best for all.
Pay attention to the first paragraph..
