Very upsetting and depressing e-mails received tonight

Greetings: Please post under the Cataract risk section:
I am a 45 year old male who underwent an enhancement of my right eye
about 9 months after the initial LASIK. Although my immediate results
were very good, within two months my right eye had gone from 20/20 to
20/60 and had little improvement with spectacles. A nuclear cataract
had grown, presumably from the trauma of the enhancement. IMPORTANT: If
this complication happens, it is not an easy fix as the intra occular
lens replacement refractive geometry correction is difficult. I remain
miserable - DO NOT DO THIS PROCEDURE!!! -
#2
My daughter, who is now 29, had lasik surgery 2
1/2 years ago. She was very nearsighted. The
surgery seemed to go great. He vision after
surgery was 20/20. Recently she has been
experiencing blurred vision. Squints to watch
t.v. She had an app. with one doctor yesterday
that says her cornea is too thin and is bludging
and this probaley was result of the lasik
surgery. He also said enhantment would not help
nor would glasses. She has an appointment in a
week to see the doc. that performed the surgery.
The waiting it driving me crazy. Have you every
heard of this and is there anything that can be
done?
Thanks so much for any information.

| On #1, why did the guy have an enhancement done?
On #2, I want to see the response from the woman's SURGEON when she
has her appointment in a week.

| Here comes Sandy with her monthly phony e-mails. She trots out these
"stories" just for the sake of scaring people out of RS. These two are
particulary juevenille, even for her.

| Whether these posts are real or not, the situations shown do occur.
It is possible for too much tissue to be removed from the cornea,
causing it to become weak and move forward. This will make a person
more myopic (nearsighted), but does often stabilize. It is also very
rare. The most often used solution to a situation like this seems to
be the insertion of Intacs (www.getintacsnow.com) to both stabilize the
cornea and reduce myopia.
Calculations for intraocular lenses (IOL) after cataract surgery are
more challenging if the patient has had previous refractive surgery
like LASIK, but are most certainly not impossible and are done day in
and day out. If a patient's doctor is uncertian how to calculate the
IOL for a previous LASIK patient, then I would recommend seeking the
care of a different doctor.
