What Is Lasik?
LASIK is a vision correction surgery. It is a laser refractive surgery that reshapes the front surface of the cornea of the eye. This allows light entering the eye to focus on the retina at the back of the eye without glasses or contact lenses.
What Is Happining During The Operation?
During the process, the following steps are followed:
1- The patient is subjected to local anesthesia in the eye by means of a few anesthetic eye drops that are dripped into the eye about 10 minutes before the start of the surgery.
2- After confirming the effectiveness of the anesthesia, the doctor uses laser beams from a special device to make an incision in the surface of the cornea without separating it completely, which allows most of the surface tissue of the cornea to be removed from the inner tissue of the cornea.
3- Then the doctor shines a laser beam of another type directly on the cornea in order to correct vision problems, and at this stage the patient must look directly at the laser light for a short period.
4- The last step is to put the surface tissue back in place and cover the cornea again after completion.
Types of Lasik and The Difference Between Them:
Surface Lasik: A type of eye surgery that is performed using a laser and works to correct refractive errors by changing the shape of the cornea, given that the cornea is responsible for the refraction of light towards the center of the retina.
Surface Lasik: A type of eye surgery that is performed using a laser and works to correct refractive errors by changing the shape of the cornea, given that the cornea is responsible for the refraction of light towards the center of the retina.
Where this technique works to change the features of the cornea, which makes the light refracted properly, and is an effective treatment for people who suffer from farsightedness and shortsightedness.
This technique is suitable for people who have a very thin corneal surface, as well as people with dry eyes and sports people.
Surface laser technology is one of the best options for people who are at risk of eye injury, such as certain professions and jobs that are susceptible to eye injury, so the doctor usually checks the type of profession or job of the patient to choose the type of operation suitable for him.
Laser conventional (lasik):
It is defined as a surgical procedure performed using a specific type of laser beam to correct vision defects and vision problems resulting from refractive errors.
Where it is known that normal vision is through the passage of light through the lens and cornea of the eye, which works to break the light to fall on the retina.
Therefore, when there are problems in the lens or the cornea of the eye, this prevents the light from being bent in the required manner, and therefore it is not focused on the retina, so the vision becomes blurry.
The ophthalmologist uses LASIK, which helps to improve the way light rays focus on the retina and treat vision problems such as:
1- Myopia
2- Farsightedness
3- Astigmatism
Femto Lasik:
Femto-LASIK is a type of LASIK operation and is used to treat vision and corneal problems. It is known as blade-free LASIK. Femto-LASIK is a safer technology than traditional LASIK.
It is necessary to warn the patient to refrain from rubbing the eye, to avoid direct exposure to light or sunlight, to stay away from high temperatures, and it is preferable to wear sunglasses after completing the operation.
The Reason for The Lasik Procedure
Nearsightedness:
When the eyeball is a little longer than normal or when the cornea is curved too sharply, light rays focus in front of the retina and blur distant vision. You can see close objects fairly clearly, but have difficulty seeing things that are far away.
Farsightedness:
When you have a shorter-than-average eyeball or a very flat cornea, light is focused behind the retina instead of on the eyeball. This makes near vision and sometimes distance vision blurry.
Astigmatism:
When the cornea curves or flattens unevenly, it results in what is called astigmatism, which causes both near and far vision problems.
FAQ
What are the best types of vision correction operations?
Vision correction operations are not limited to the types of LASIK operations only, but also the surface LASIK technique is used to correct vision, as well as corneal ring transplantation to treat keratoconus problems or the use of contact lenses and other techniques.
Which is better LASIK or femto smile?
When talking about the types of LASIK and the best of them, we must know that each type has advantages as well as disadvantages, and preference is between the types of LASIK according to the disease and the doctor’s choice of the appropriate type for the case.
.
When does vision improve after LASIK?
The eyes are completely healed once the LASIK operation is completed, and vision improves clearly from 24 hours to 48 hours. Also, the duration varies according to the type of operation that the patient underwent.
When does the eye blurry end after the completion of the operation?
The patient may feel dryness in the eyes or glare in the eyes after the operation, but these symptoms are normal and temporary, but if you feel that they persist, you should inform your doctor about that.
Things To Consider
1- Avoid driving a car immediately after completing the LASIK operation, due to the possibility of blurring of vision.
2- Be sure to use the necessary drops that your doctor prescribed for you, and not to forget any dose to avoid complications or pain. It is also preferable to close your eyes for 5 minutes after each dose, in order to relax the eyes.
3- Avoid reading after the operation or using the mobile phone for a long time to avoid eye fatigue and stress
4- It is recommended to wear sunglasses after the operation in order to reduce the effect of light or sunlight on the eyes
5- Avoid using make-up and cosmetics, especially those that are applied to the eye, until the doctor allows you to do so

What is Cataract?
Cataract surgery is performed to treat cataracts. Cataracts can cause blurry vision and increase the glare from lights. If a cataract makes it difficult for you to carry out your normal activities, your doctor may suggest cataract surgery.
When a cataract interferes with the treatment of another eye problem, cataract surgery may be recommended. For example, doctors may recommend cataract surgery if a cataract makes it difficult for your eye doctor to examine the back of your eye to monitor or treat other eye problems, such as age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.
What Causes Cataract?
Most people who develop cataracts are older adults. Almost everyone over the age of 65 has a cataract in one or both eyes that interfere with vision. Diseases, such as diabetes, and the long-term use of some medications, such as corticosteroids, can contribute to the formation of cataracts. Physical injuries, such as a puncture wound to the eye, and injuries caused by chemicals hitting the eye or by exposure to excessive X-rays, intense heat or, possibly, too much sunlight also can cause cataracts. In addition, smokers tend to have a higher occurrence of cataracts than non-smokers.
Cataracts may take years to form, or they may worsen rapidly in a few months. Furthermore, cataracts can affect both eyes at the same time, but they may develop at different rates. People with cataracts often experience one or more of the following symptoms:
Blurred or hazy vision.
Poor vision at night or in very bright light
Difficulty driving, especially at night because of glare from headlights of oncoming cars.
Seeing “ghost” images.
Change in color vision.
Loss of contrast.
Poor distance vision.
Can Cataracts Be Treated Non-Surgically?
Cataracts do not go away on their own or with the use of medication. The only way to treat cataracts is to have them removed surgically. However, there are a few things that can be done to provide temporary relief from the symptoms of cataracts until an operation can be performed. Eye drops that widen the pupil of the eye may help you to see better if the cataract is small and near the back of the lens; your surgeon will be able to determine the exact location of the cataract and whether eye drops may be a temporary option for you. Wearing sunglasses or other special types of glasses will protect your eyes from sunlight.
During The Procedure
Cataract surgery, usually an outpatient procedure, takes an hour or less to perform.
First, your doctor will place eyedrops in your eye to dilate your pupil. You’ll receive local anesthetics to numb the area, and you may be given a sedative to help you relax. If you’re given a sedative, you may remain awake, but groggy, during surgery.
During cataract surgery, the clouded lens is removed, and a clear artificial lens is usually implanted. In some cases, however, a cataract may be removed without implanting an artificial lens.
FAQ
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Cataract Surgery?
You may have to use eye drops after surgery. Be sure to follow your doctor’s directions for using these drops.
Avoid getting soap or water directly in the eye.
Do not rub or press on your eye. Your ophthalmologist may ask you to wear eyeglasses or a shield to protect your eye.
You will need to wear a protective eye shield when you sleep.
Your ophthalmologist will talk with you about how active you can be soon after surgery. They will tell you when you can safely exercise, drive or do other activities again.
.
Are There Any Complications?
As with any surgical procedure, there may be complications that occur during or following cataract removal. Although complications are rare, those that occur most commonly are:
Inflammatory reaction. Your eye and the area around it may swell and be tender or painful. You will be treated with an antibiotic and/or anti-inflammatory drugs in drops, by local injection, or through the bloodstream. Very rarely, if the infection progresses, small amounts of an antibiotic may be injected into the eye.
Fluid in the retina (or macular edema). This complication occurs more commonly in people who have certain conditions, such as diabetes. Although the problem usually clears up by itself, eye drops or pills are sometimes used to help remove the fluid.
Other serious, but less common complications, that may occur following cataract surgery include dislocation of the lens implant, infection, retinal detachment and excessive bleeding. You should discuss these unlikely difficulties with your ophthalmologist if you are concerned about them.
Life After Surgery.
How Long Does Cataract Surgery Take?
Cataract surgery takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete, depending on the severity of the condition. You should also plan to spend up to 30 minutes following the surgery to recover from the effects of the sedative.
Things to Consider
The progression of your cataracts will determine if surgery is needed. If your cataracts are causing difficulties with daily activities, such as reading, filling out checks/forms or driving, you should speak to your eye doctor about having cataract surgery.

Glaucoma
What is the First Sign of Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that affect the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to permanent vision loss due to a build-up of pressure in the eye. Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness. It is important to know the early signs of glaucoma so that it may be diagnosed and treated before significant vision loss has occurred. Our Doctors in Tucson recommend yearly eye exams to check for vision changes and diseases such as glaucoma.
Glaucoma affects millions of people in the U.S., but many of those are unaware they have the disease. There is currently no cure for glaucoma, but there are treatment options if it’s detected early enough. Different types of glaucoma present alternate warning signs — and sometimes there are no symptoms, particularly in open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of the disease.
However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, you should seek immediate help:
Loss of peripheral or side vision: This is usually the first sign of glaucoma.
Seeing halos around lights: If you see rainbow-colored circles around lights or are unusually sensitive to light, it could be a sign of glaucoma.
Vision loss: Especially if it happens suddenly.
Redness in the eye: Sometimes accompanied by pain, which may be a sign of injury, infection or acute glaucoma.
Eye that looks hazy: A cloudy-looking cornea is the most common early sign of childhood glaucoma.
Nausea or vomiting: Especially when it accompanies severe eye pain.
Pain in the eye and in the head: This often occurs in angle-closure glaucoma, a type of glaucoma which can develop quickly.
Tunnel vision: You may start to lose vision around the edges of your visual field.
Though most types of glaucoma cannot be prevented, early detection and ongoing monitoring of eye health can limit the vision loss caused by the disease. If you suspect that you may have glaucoma or if you are due for an eye examination, contact Eye Associates of Tucson to schedule an appointment.
Symptoms
The symptoms of glaucoma depend on the type and stage of your condition.
Open-angle glaucoma
- No symptoms in early stages
- Gradually, patchy blind spots in your side vision. Side vision also is known as peripheral vision
- In later stages, difficulty seeing things in your central vision
Acute angle-closure glaucoma
- Severe headache
- Severe eye pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Halos or colored rings around lights
- Eye redness
Normal-tension glaucoma
- No symptoms in early stages
- Gradually, blurred vision
- In later stages, loss of side vision
Glaucoma in children
- A dull or cloudy eye (infants)
- Increased blinking (infants)
- Tears without crying (infants)
- Blurred vision
- Nearsightedness that gets worse
- Headache
Pigmentary glaucoma
- Halos around lights
- Blurred vision with exercise
- Gradual loss of side vision
When to see a doctor
If you experience symptoms that come on suddenly, you may have acute angle-closure glaucoma. Symptoms include severe headache and severe eye pain. You need treatment as soon as possible. Go to an emergency room or call an eye doctor’s (ophthalmologist’s) office immediately.
Diagnosis
Your health care provider will review your medical history and conduct a comprehensive eye examination. Your provider may perform several tests, including:
- Measuring intraocular pressure, also called tonometry
- Testing for optic nerve damage with a dilated eye examination and imaging tests
- Checking for areas of vision loss, also known as a visual field test
- Measuring corneal thickness with an exam called pachymetry
- Inspecting the drainage angle, also known as gonioscopy
Treatment
The damage caused by glaucoma can’t be reversed. But treatment and regular checkups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially if you catch the disease in its early stages.
Glaucoma is treated by lowering intraocular pressure. Treatment options include prescription eye drops, oral medicines, laser treatment, surgery or a combination of approaches.
Eye drops
Glaucoma treatment often starts with prescription eye drops. Some may decrease eye pressure by improving how fluid drains from your eye. Others decrease the amount of fluid your eye makes. Depending on how low your eye pressure needs to be, you may be prescribed more than one eye drop.
Prescription eye drop medicines include:
- These increase the outflow of the fluid in your eye, helping to reduce eye pressure. Medicines in this category include latanoprost (Xalatan), travoprost (Travatan Z), tafluprost (Zioptan), bimatoprost (Lumigan) and latanoprostene bunod (Vyzulta).
Possible side effects include mild reddening and stinging of the eyes, darkening of the iris, darkening of the pigment of the eyelashes or eyelid skin, and blurred vision. This class of drug is prescribed for once-a-day use.
- Beta blockers.These reduce the production of fluid in your eye, helping to lower eye pressure. Examples include timolol (Betimol, Istalol, Timoptic) and betaxolol (Betoptic S).
Possible side effects include difficulty breathing, slowed heart rate, lower blood pressure, impotence and fatigue. This class of drug can be prescribed for once- or twice-daily use depending on your condition.
- Alpha-adrenergic agonists. These reduce the production of the fluid that flows throughout the inside of your eye. They also increase the outflow of fluid in your eye. Examples include apraclonidine (Iopidine) and brimonidine (Alphagan P, Qoliana).
Possible side effects include irregular heart rate, high blood pressure, fatigue, red, itchy or swollen eyes, and dry mouth. This class of drug is usually prescribed for twice-daily use but sometimes can be prescribed for use three times a day.
- Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.These medicines reduce the production of fluid in your eye. Examples include dorzolamide and brinzolamide (Azopt). Possible side effects include a metallic taste, frequent urination, and tingling in the fingers and toes. This class of drug is usually prescribed for twice-daily use but sometimes can be prescribed for use three times a day.
- Rho kinase inhibitor.This medicine lowers eye pressure by suppressing the rho kinase enzymes responsible for fluid increase. It is available as netarsudil (Rhopressa) and is prescribed for once-a-day use. Possible side effects include eye redness and eye discomfort.
- Miotic or cholinergic agents.These increase the outflow of fluid from your eye. An example is pilocarpine (Isopto Carpine). Side effects include headache, eye ache, smaller pupils, possible blurred or dim vision, and nearsightedness. This class of medicine is usually prescribed to be used up to four times a day. Because of potential side effects and the need for frequent daily use, these medicines are not prescribed very often anymore.
Because some of the eye drop medicine is absorbed into your bloodstream, you may experience some side effects unrelated to your eyes. To minimize this absorption, close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes after putting the drops in. You also may press lightly at the corner of your eyes near your nose to close the tear duct for 1 or 2 minutes. Wipe off any unused drops from your eyelid.
You may have been prescribed multiple eye drops or need to use artificial tears. Make sure you wait at least five minutes in between using different drops.
Oral medications
Eye drops alone may not bring your eye pressure down to the desired level. So your eye doctor may also prescribe oral medicine. This medicine is usually a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Possible side effects include frequent urination, tingling in the fingers and toes, depression, stomach upset, and kidney stones.
Surgery and other therapies
Other treatment options include laser therapy and surgery. The following techniques may help to drain fluid within the eye and lower eye pressure:
- Laser therapy.Laser trabeculoplasty (truh-BEK-u-low-plas-tee) is an option if you can’t tolerate eye drops. It also may be used if medicine hasn’t slowed the progression of your disease. Your eye doctor also may recommend laser surgery before using eye drops. It’s done in your eye doctor’s office. Your eye doctor uses a small laser to improve the drainage of the tissue located at the angle where the iris and cornea meet. It may take a few weeks before the full effect of this procedure becomes apparent.
- Filtering surgery.This is a surgical procedure called a trabeculectomy (truh-bek-u-LEK-tuh-me). The eye surgeon creates an opening in the white of the eye, which also is known as the sclera. The surgery creates another space for fluid to leave the eye.
- Drainage tubes.In this procedure, the eye surgeon inserts a small tube in your eye to drain excess fluid to lower eye pressure.
- Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).Your eye doctor may suggest a MIGS procedure to lower your eye pressure. These procedures generally require less immediate postoperative care and have less risk than trabeculectomy or using a drainage device. They are often combined with cataract surgery. There are a number of MIGS techniques available, and your eye doctor will discuss which procedure may be right for you.
After your procedure, you’ll need to see your eye doctor for follow-up exams. And you may eventually need to undergo additional procedures if your eye pressure begins to rise or other changes occur in your eye.
Treating acute angle-closure glaucoma
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency. If you’re diagnosed with this condition, you’ll need urgent treatment to reduce the pressure in your eye. This generally will require treatment with medicine and laser or surgical procedures.
You may have a procedure called a laser peripheral iridotomy. The doctor creates a small hole in your iris using a laser. This allows fluid to flow through the iris. This helps to open the drainage angle of the eye and relieves eye pressure.

Surgery for Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment happens when your retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of your
eye) is pulled away from its normal position. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency, and
early treatment is important to protect your vision.
Learn more about retinal detachment
If you have a retinal detachment, you may need surgery to reattach your retina to the back of
your eye within a few days. After surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for a short time
and it might take a few weeks before your vision starts getting better.
There are 3 types of surgery that doctors can do to fix a detached retina:
Pneumatic retinopexy (“noo-mat-ick RET-ih-no-pek-see”)
Scleral buckle
Vitrectomy
The type of surgery you need will depend on several things, including how much of your retina
is detached and where in your eye it detached. Your doctor will talk to you about what type they
recommend, and about the risks and benefits of surgery. Some people may need more than one
type of surgery at once.
During the surgery, your doctor may also use laser or freeze treatments to repair tears or holes in
your retina and help hold your retina in place after surgery.
Learn more about laser surgery and freeze treatment
What is pneumatic retinopexy?
In pneumatic retinopexy, your doctor will inject a small air bubble into your eye. The bubble will
push your retina back into place so your doctor can use a laser or freeze treatment to repair any
holes or tears. You can usually get this surgery in your doctor’s office.
When you get this surgery, your doctor will:
Put numbing medicine in your eye
Insert a tiny needle into your eye and remove a small amount of fluid
Inject a small amount of air into your eye
Use laser or freeze treatment to repair any holes or tears in your retina
You’ll be able to see the air bubble in your peripheral (side) vision after the surgery. The bubble
will disappear on its own over time.
After the surgery, you’ll need to:
Hold your head in a certain position for several days to keep the air bubble in the right spot
Avoid some activities — like flying in an airplane, intense exercise, and heavy lifting — while
your eye heals
Have a follow-up visit with your doctor to make sure your eye is healing
Tell your doctor if you have any questions or concerns after surgery, including if your vision
seems worse or if you have a lot of pain or swelling.
What is scleral buckle surgery?
During scleral buckle surgery, your doctor will put a tiny, flexible band around the white part of your eye. This part of the eye is called the sclera.
The band pushes gently on the sides of your eye and moves them inward toward your retina,
which helps your retina reattach. The band will stay on your eye permanently after the surgery.
Your doctor may also use a laser or freeze treatment to repair any tears in your retina.
Usually, you’ll get anesthesia so you’ll be asleep during this surgery. You won’t feel anything or
remember the surgery. Most people can go home the same day, but you’ll need someone to drive you home. After the surgery, your eye may feel a little sore. You’ll need to:
Wear a patch over your eye for about a day
Avoid some activities — like heavy lifting or heavy exercise — while your eye heals
Have a follow-up visit with your doctor to make sure your eye is healing
Tell your doctor if you have any questions or concerns after surgery, including if your vision
seems worse or if you have a lot of pain or swelling.
What is vitrectomy?
Vitrectomy is similar to pneumatic retinopexy, but it’s a longer surgery and usually happens in a
hospital instead of your doctor’s office.
Cornea Transplant Surgery:
The cornea is the clear layer on the front of your eye that
helps focus light so you can see clearly. If it gets damaged,
you might need to have it replaced.
The surgeon will remove all or part of your cornea and
replace it with a healthy layer of tissue. The new cornea
comes from people who chose to donate this tissue when
they died.
A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, can bring
back vision, lessen pain, and possible improve the
appearance of your cornea if it is white and scarred.
Who Needs One?
The light rays that pass through a damaged cornea can get
distorted and change your vision.
A corneal transplant corrects several eye problems,
including:
Cornea scarring because of an injury or an infection
Corneal ulcers or “sores” from an infection
A medical condition that makes your cornea bulge out
(keratoconus)
Thinning, clouding, or swelling of the cornea
Inherited eye diseases, such as Fuchs’ dystrophy and
others
Problems caused by an earlier eye operation
Full Thickness Corneal Transplant
If the doctor does a penetrating keratoplasty (PK), all the layers of your cornea get replaced. The surgeon sews the
new cornea onto your eye with stitches thinner than hair. You might need this procedure if you have a severe corneainjury or bad bulging and scarring. It has the longest healing time. Partial Thickness Corneal Transplant
During deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), the surgeon injects air to lift off and separate the thin outside
and thick middle layers of your cornea, then removes and replaces only those.
People with keratoconus or a corneal scar that hasn’t affected the inner layers may have this done.
The healing time with this procedure is shorter than a full thickness transplant. Because your eye itself isn’t opened up, it’s unlikely the lens and iris could be damaged, and there’s less chance of an infection inside your eye. Endothelial Keratoplasty About half of the people who need cornea transplants each year have a problem with the
innermost layer of the cornea, the endothelium. Doctors often do this type of surgery to help Fuchs’ dystrophy and other medical conditions.
Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK or DSAEK) is the most common type of endothelial keratoplasty. The surgeon removes the endothelium — a mere one cell thick — and the
Descemet membrane just above it. Then they replace them with a donated endothelium and Descemet membrane still attached to the stroma (the cornea’s thick middle layer) to help him handle the new tissue without damaging it. Another variation, Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), transplants just the endothelium and Descemet membrane — no supporting stroma. The donor tissue is very thin and
fragile, so it’s harder to work with, but healing from this procedure is usually quicker and often, the end result vision may be slightly better.
A third option for selected people with Fuch’s dystrophy is simple removal of the central part of
the inner membrane without a transplant, if the surrounding cornea seems healthy enough to
provide cells to fill in the removed area.
These surgeries are good options for people with cornea damage only in the inner layer because
recovery is easier.
What’s the Surgery Like?
Before your operation, your doctor will probably do an exam and some lab tests to check that
you’re in good general health. You may have to stop taking certain medicines, such as aspirin, a
couple of weeks before the procedure.
Usually, you’ll have to use antibiotic drops in your eye the day before your transplant to help prevent an infection.
Most of the time, these surgeries are done as outpatient procedures under local anesthesia. This
means you’ll be awake but woozy, the area is numb, and you’ll be able to go home the same day.
Your doctor will do the entire surgery while looking through a microscope. It typically takes 3 minutes to an hour. Recovery
Afterward, you’ll probably wear an eye patch for at least a day, maybe 4, until the top layer of
your cornea heals. Your eye will most likely be red and sensitive to light. It might hurt or feel
sore for a few days, but some people don’t feel any discomfort.
Your doctor will prescribe eye drops to bring down inflammation and lower the chances of infection.
They may prescribe other medicines to help with pain. They’ll want to check your eye the day after surgery,
several times during the following couple of weeks, and then a few more times during the first year.
For transplant procedures such as DSEK and DMEK that use a gas bubble inside the eye to help position the
transplanted tissue, the surgeon may ask you to lie flat sometimes during the day and sleep flat on your back at night for a few days.
You’ll have to protect your eye from injury after your
surgery. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Your cornea doesn’t get any blood, so it heals slowly. If
you needed stitches, your doctor will take them out at the
office a few months later.
