Cataracts Treatment

Question by Justin: Does laser eye surgery cause or increase the likelihood cataracts?
A friend of mine told me that undergoing laser eye surgery will cause cataracts 20 years after the operation. Is this true?

No, not true at all.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Laser surgery is on the outer layers of the cornea, and cataracts are inside the eye on the lens of the eye, which isn’t touched by the laser.

Question by SUPP: Are you able to become an ophthalmologist that only does small surgeries like laser surgery?
Everything about the career of the ophthalmologist seems right for me except the fact of surgery. I am fine with the idea of doing laser surgery but I however can not do any surgery blood related. I can be the assistant of a legit surgeon when it involves blood, but never a surgery for something involving so much pressure like the reattaching a retinal detachment, or removing a cataract and stuff like that.

Is there a way where I can become an ophthalmologist that only does small surgeries such as laser surgery? If not, are there any similar careers that would land me in a working environment of an eye clinic? I’m open to any office jobs! I am in high school and my passion for the human eye.

Question by DebbyFan4Ever: Best country for laser surgery for cataract?

Best answer:

Answer by Footprintz
A cataract operation isn’t done with a laser.

It is such a simple procedure now, Ophthalmologists anywhere do it all the time with no problems.

I’m not sure I would go to Haiti or Bangladesh….but just about anywhere else is good.

Question by parttha: I was operated for retinal detachment…Is it possible for me to do a laser surgery?
I was operated for foreign body removal + retinal detachment + cataract on my left eye (right eye is normal). Even after all this my vision is only 6/24 because the detachment has taken part in the central part of my vision and has left a scar. Even 2 years after the surgery i am not able to synchronize both my eye to view an object.. because quality of my left vision is so poor..

Right now I have developed a dark circles under my eyes… It has formed like a thick patch. I really dont know what to do. I went to dermatoligist and i did cosmo peel and other peels for 8 weeks but nothing worked, dark circles are becoming much more thicker.

My questions are
i) Is there any latest technology to operate my retina and bring it back to normal so that i can have 6/6 vision
ii) Seriously I would like to get rid of the dark circles. I looking like an alien with those dark circles (patches). I would like to know the basic reasons (I usually sleep more than 7 hrs a day) and the methods to get rid of the same
