Is it normal to see clearly up close, but blurry distance?

Blurry distance vision, clear near vision after LASIK
Feb 17, 2016

Thanks for your question.  The answer depends on a number of factors.  Presumably, you are in the age range where people start to require readers (age 40 and up).  If that’s the case, you are correct that most folks corrected for distance see clearly at distance but not at near.  However, the answer also depends in part on you pre-LASIK numbers.  For example, whether you were far sighted or near sighted before your surgery can impact which type of vision, distance or near, comes into…

Is the lack if vision acuity in my right eye normal after LASIK?

Asymmetrical visual results following Lasik
Feb 11, 2016

Thanks for your question.  If I am understanding you correctly, your vision in the right eye is 20/20 and the vision in your left eye is 20/15.  Generally speaking, based solely on those numbers, that is still a fine result for 1 month out.  It is certainly still possible that the 2 eyes will continue to even out, however.  Because you see better than “perfect” in your left, it is making the 20/20 vision in your right seem inadequate perhaps.  Hopefully, at your post op visit your…

Treatment for halo/ghosting years after LASIK?

Nighttime vision issues years after Lasik
Feb 11, 2016

Thanks for your question.  There can be several explanations for nighttime vision issues that occur even years after Lasik.  3 common explanation include: residual refractive error, dry eye disease, and higher order aberrations that impact vision when the pupil dilates in the dark.  A full visit to your ophthalmologist is necessary to determine which, if any, of these 3 explanations may be affecting you.  Simple solutions that have helped others include:  glasses to be worn during night…

Can you get red eyes from Botox?

Botox and red eyes
Feb 8, 2016

It would be very difficulty to explain bloodshot eyes resulting from Botox injections of the forehead. More likely than not, the timing of your eye redness was coincidental with your Botox injections. One of the more common explanations for redness at the end of the day is Dry Eye Disease. If you continue to notice a pattern of redness at the end of the day, a full eye exam with an ophthalmologist is advised. There are many effective treatments available for Dry Eye…

I had my LASIK done 4 months ago but there is certain heaviness in my eyes which leads to pain. What

“Heavy eyes” after Lasik
Feb 4, 2016

It is not unusual to experience a sense of heaviness, achiness, or fatigue months after refractive surgery. One of the most common explanations for these sensations is dry eye, which itself is not uncommon following refractive surgery. Many people are surprised to learn that dry eyes don’t always feel “dry” or sandy but, in fact, can present with heaviness. It is essential to be seen by your ophthalmologist for a slit lamp exam to determine the exact cause of your…

How to get rid of brown spots on the white part of the eye/Sclera after vomiting?

Brown spots on the eye
Feb 3, 2016

After episodes of vomiting, forceful coughing, or even sneezing, it is not uncommon to develop small patches of blood on the surface of the eye, called subconjunctival hemorrhages. Most of the time, these are transient findings that look scarier than they really are. However, occasionally, as these small patches of blood resorb, the pigment within blood cells and leak out and stain the nearby sclera or conjunctiva leaving permanent discoloration. The good news is that this…

I have been getting Botox for a few years. Last week I got it and my eye is in massive pain. Could Bo

Botox and eye pain
Feb 3, 2016

Botox injection around the eye should not result in eye pain. It is much more likely that there is a separate eye condition occurring. The location of the involved area requires a careful examination of the underside of your eyelid by an ophthalmologist. The examination should look for foreign bodies or other irregularities that can cause localized redness and pain. Sometimes, inflammatory conditions on the surface of the eye can cause that appearance. …
