-Potential Post Lasik Help-
Welcome!
Our purpose is to help individuals with normal
vision understand the visual aberrations that
accompany eye injury, various eye diseases and
conditions (e.g. Floaters, Keratoconus, and Visual
Snow), and the complications of refractive surgery
(i.e., LASIK, LASEK, PRK). While there is no
substitute for actually looking through the eyes of
another person, you are welcome to use this site to
help you communicate your situation to your family,
friends, or your doctor.
Use of
images in a forensic (legal) setting, however,
requires explicit written permission.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY
THAT HAVE POST LASIK PROBLEMS OR LOOKING FOR THE BEST SHOT AT LASIK/PRK/LASEK,
THIS MAY BE OF HELP AND OF HOPE FOR YOU IN GETTING THE BEST KNOWN
RESULTS:
(COMING OUT JUNE 2006 AND
BEING TESTED FOR 3 MONTHS)
It's still too early to
know for sure, but from what I've read and discussed with the
Doctors I think there's a new re-treatment approach that may be
much more reliable than any other. Basically it involves a
trans-epithelial treatment (a PRK where the laser removes the
epithelium) where the laser removes the epithelium as well as
the stroma. Unlike older techniques, the algorithm adjusts
for the energy loss in the periphery (supposedly). This is
the only approach I've seen that makes sense that could actually
fix lots of bumps and valleys. I'm sure it wouldn't be
perfect, but it also goes wider than other treatments. It
can handle a 7mm central treatment zone and up to a maximum 10mm
total, peripherial blend zone.
The laser is the iVis (I
think by Ligi- an Italian co., but I'm not sure).
Supposedly it has very good registration and very high
resolution (it uses a topographic approach, not wavefront and is
based on 39,000 samples instead of only 50 to 500 used for
different wavefront devices- the Alcon is just over 200 for
instance) and leaves the "smoothest treatment" area yet
achieved. Anyway, if you know anyone considering a
retreatment have them hold off for this if they have the money
for it. The only one in the US I know of who will be doing
this is in Nashville (and I'm not sure when). One doctor
in Norway just started using it and doesn't have actual results
yet. More information on the laser can be found:

(I just had the
PRK procedure done in Tromso, Norway with Dr. Alexsandar
Stojanovic, who in my opinion is the most HONEST
refractive surgeon out there...I am 2 months post op
dated 6/15/07, and I have about another 45 days or so of
healing...stay tuned!!)

 (IN
MY OPINION, DR. STOJANOVIC IS THE STARTING POINT OF HELPING ALL
POST LASIK NIGHTMARES...HE'S ONE OF THE ONLY FEW HONEST DOCTORS
LEFT THAT NO LONGER PERFORMS LASIK, AS HE KNOWS CREATING A "LIFE
LONG FLAP" IS NOT IN THE PATIENT'S BEST INTEREST...START FIRST
HERE...WITH THE MOST HONEST DOCTOR...HE HAS BEEN UNBELIEVABLY
"GRACIOUS" WITH BOTH HIS TIME SPENT EDUCATING MYSELF, AND I HAVE
PERSONALLY HAD HIM PERFORM THE SURFACE PRK PROCEDURE WITH THE
WWW.IVISTECH.COM LASER
PLATFORM. SURGERY WAS ON 3/27/07 AND I SHOULD BE HEALED BY
8/1/07 FOR FURTHER NEWS/UPDATES AS TO MY FINAL RESULTS...KEEP
CHECKING BACK WITH THIS WEBSITE FOR "UPDATES" OR CONTACT ME...)
Stick it out with contact lenses and save money!!
A much safer alternative than "Lasik Surgery:"
