They want to give me upper plugs in my eye, to see if it makes my vision better.. EVERY SINGLE PERSON I saw claims your eye is extremely dry! They said I dont have a tear film and a bad quality one as well if there is any. But my eyes dont hurt.. (Except in the morning! Man its horrible) but I dont feel sand or anything the rest of the day. They all claim its effecting my vision even my surgeon said it including another surgeon I saw there.. You think dry eyes can cause blurry vision like I have? Will plugs make a difference?
I have dry eyes. It affects my vision. Sometimes it hurts and is hard to read. It is what it is
I use restasis, gel drops, and have plugs in the ducts.
The dryness srptarted at menopause but became worse with age. I did have LASIK.
and the beauty of Non-Socialized medicine is millions of UnInsured Americans showing up at the Emergency Room when they get sick as their primary source of healthcare .

And socialized medicine is not the answer to that.

This is not nearly the first time I've heard stuff like this. I've talked to real people down here from Canada, and read of incidents there and in the UK. People unable to get treatment for various conditions because it isn't a 'priority', and worse.
Massive taxes to support a system where the regular people can't get treatment unless 'they' think it's 'important' enough.
So I had lasik done 3 times on my right eye because I was constantly getting regression (slightly bad prescription) anyway its been 3 months since my last surgery and my right eye vision is just bad (Been on Restasis drops for 3 months)!! Its blurry from far and close! I left school for the moment because I cannot read anything without getting sick or a major headache! I constantly have eye strain because of the vision differences from both eyes. I have gone to lasik I think like more than 20 times! in the past 3 months!
They have all told me that my eyes are great, I only have 0.50 astigmatism (which is nothing they said). They all keep telling me "Your right eye is super dry thats why you have trouble seeing from it.. However I dont have any dry pain or anything, the drops dont even make a difference in vision! I told them this and they told me "Your eye makes a tear film and that vanishes within half a second and sometimes less." I went to see a regular optometrist (not part of lasik) and they told me your eyes are very dry and that your vision is great! Any prescription they seem to put on me doesnt work the letters are still blurry in the right eye! I been using the restasis for 3 months and I still dont see any results.. I feel like my life is ruined
I used to love reading and I cannot no longer do it without getting horrible headaches and not being able to concentrate because one eye is blurry. Its even noticeable for far.. Please help me.
P.S I dont notice a difference in my right eye from the surgeries..
Have you ever tried genteal gel? It's a gel that you squirt under your bottom eyelid. I get dry eye a lot which causes me to get a corneal erosion. Definitely messes up my vision, but the gel really helps keep things lubricated.
Well I saw lasik again today, and I came in saying that I am tired of this.. Because they cured my dry eyes finally with an upper plug they put a couple days a ago, works well! No more dry eyes! However they didn't seem to really care about the blurry vision in my right eye.. So I got mad and told them if they don't do something I will call a lawyer and bring lasik to court. I than magically got a surgeon who told he was gonna take me case and run tests on it, best thing is he is a specialist in the corneas. Anyway so he dilated my pupils and they looked inside and than he ran a bunch of tests.. He told me that's all he needs for now. He said that for sure that is something wrong with my right eye. He told me one way or another he is gonna fix my eye with a surgery and he said for sure you will have clear vision. He told me he will call me friday or monday for the results of what kind of surgery I need, or he will run more test if needed to see if I need a different surgery, but either way he said hes gonna fix it with a surgery.
So i got word from lasik and they told me that they will be doing another surgery again on Jan 13.. hopefully this will be the last of it.. gonna be another surgery again. Hopefully my vision restores!
