What if I have dry eyes after LASIK?
After LASIK or PRK surgery, your eyes may be dry. Dry eyes are a temporary complication which can be treated with lubricating eye drops or sometimes with inserts or “plugs”. Dry eyes usually clear up within a few months after your procedure. The key to treating dry eyes is to lubricate often, usually several times a day.

Monovision, the solution for old eyes
While LASIK results are stable, our eyes change as we age and lose the ability to see up close. This is known as presbyopia and causes most of us with perfect vision in our 40’s to have difficulty seeing the menu in dimly lit restaurants or putting on make up. A solution might be laser vision correction with monovision.
With monovision, Dr. Sandy T. Feldman treats the dominant eye for distance and the nondominant for reading. While this sounds odd to most people, it is a great option for those of us with “old” eyes. During the consultation at ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center, Dr. Feldman will determine if you are good candidate for this procedure.

Diabetes-Glaucoma Link?
Recent medical reports have indicated that diabetes may lead to glaucoma in addition to diabetic retinopathy. A recent study in “Ophthalmology” found that women with diabetes have about a 70% increased risk of developing the most common form of glaucoma (open angle glaucoma) compared to women who do not have the disease.
Currently, open angle glaucoma affects approximately 2 million people in the United States and is one of the leading causes of blindness. However, to date, the evidence is not conclusive.
Glaucoma occurs when there’s a gradual increase in the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve which can result in vision loss and eventual blindness. Approximately 50 million Americans are at risk for vision loss from glaucoma.
One way that diabetes can possibly cause glaucoma is by causing elevation in pressure within the eye. Also, diabetes could increase the susceptibility of the optic nerve to damage.
To learn more about how diabetes can affect vision or to learn more about LASIK, please contact Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center in San Diego today.
