could you get your eye color changed with laser eye surgery, best answer 10 pts..

No.  You can't change the amount of pigment in the cells that make up the iris (the colored part of the eye).  How much pigment those cells contain determines the color of your eyes.  (You also cannot have an iris transplant.)

I've had patients with retinal detachments that get surgery.  The type of surgery depends on how severe the detachment is.  If you caught it early enough, they may be able to fix your retina with laser treatment, which probably won't affect your vision too badly.  If it's more advanced, they may need to put a "scleral buckle" around your eye.  If that's the case, you can expect a gradual change in your prescription for the next 6 months or so.  Worse yet, you'll need macular repair, but few people let it get that bad.\n\nGood luck!

I had Lasik over a year ago.  And if I could re live it, I'd choose to do it, every single time.  Its worth every penny and any fears.  I wore glasses, than contacts for as long as I could remember, and it is about the most AMAZING feeling you can have, waking up the next day, opening your eyes and you can see everything.  And it is just that fast, the next day you can see!  The procedure itself... they put a clamp on your eye to keep it open, there's pressure, than depending on what machine and how much you're paying for the procedure, sometimes the doctors create your flap by hand, or its by machine... I had the machine do it.  There's a burning smell, not unlike burning hair.  Than they pull the flap back (you can see all this as its happenning) and than there's light.... than darkness.  Than you feel and see the doc using almost a mini paintbrush to put the flap back down.  Than its over.  Simple as that.  They do it one eye at a time, you're awake the whole time and its NOT painful.  There's a little pressure but that's it.  My clinic gave me a relaxant beforehand.  Total procedure takes NO MORE than 15 minutes!  Its amazing.  Its scary, I cried through my whole procedure.  But again, I would do it again if I had the choice.  Side effects: I work with computers and only took 4 days off work after the procedure... than was back starring at the screen... so they told me thats why I had headaches for two weeks after the procedure, but that's it!  The dry eye thing... I had dry eyes REALLY BAD for a whole year, a bottle of eye drops will be your new limb.  But now its gone!

Wear glasses or have laser surgery.

I had it done a few years ago, and my side effects were all temporary.  Increased dryness in the eyes; this happens to everyone for a few weeks, but it lasted a few months for me since I had dry eyes going into the surgery.\n\nI saw halos around streetlights at night for the first few weeks, then that went away as well.\n\nI would recommend going in for a consultation to talk to a doctor about the side effects and risks.  Most consults are free, even if you decide against the surgery.  They can tell you what to expect, specific to your eyesight.\n\nI'd recommend it to everyone.  It doesn't hurt, tis just a little awkward during the surgery.  But hey, a little awkwardness for 5 minutes has been worth years of contact-free and glasses-free eyes.

I don't know about the ra factor but I had e lasik for myopic astigmastism and it did no good.  it was the biggest wast of money I have ever spent!  Before I had it done I could at least read the caller Id on the phone, now I can't see that!

I have heard about the side effects since they are actually lifting up your cornea during the surgery and if you get accidently hit in the eye or head possibly could slip before totally healed. thats why I had PK done instead,I went from glasses to 20/20 in both eyes.no side effects

Sorry about your misfortunes with the surgery. After the lensectomy your vision shouldn't be changing, however that surgery does not correct astigmatism so you could do a LASIK retreatment to get rid of the astigmatism. If the surgeon did both your LASIK and lensectomy and you are not happy with him/her, you should get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion - maybe with a more experienced surgeon. Good luck.

Do do do be careful!!!\nOne friend had it and did fine.\nAnother is having 1-2 surgeries a month on both eyes to correct what they did to her with Lasik--she walks around with a squint. I'm afraid she may loose her vision because of this.

My laser eye surgery did not hurt at all. My daughter and I had it done at the same time. I have worn glasses since I was 9 years old and I was SOOOOOO excited to get up the day after surgery, look across the street, and be able to read the house numbers! I only wish I had been able to do it sooner. The farsightedness that occurs in middle age cannot be corrected by Lasik so I have to wear glasses for reading but not for distance. For a few months afterward, I used to see "halos" and double lights at night, but that's disappeared now. If you follow all the aftercare advise on eye drops, sunglasses, etc, you should be fine! I have never regretted having the surgery! Good luck!

This is what I found about eye color changes.  For complete articles see the web sites in sources below.\n\n"A surprising new study found that 10% to 15% of whites undergo changes in eye color during adolescence and adulthood, according to a report in the Archives of Ophthalmology."\n\n"The mechanisms that control these changes in iris color remain unknown. But researchers believe that it may be due to changes in production from melanocytes, cells found in the hair, skin and the eye that make melanin, a black or brown pigment.\n\nMore study is needed to confirm that the eye change is true age-related change in color and not due to illness or a flaw in the study. One report has suggested that macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults, can be accompanied with a lightening of eye color with age, the authors noted."\n\n"Ask a doctor to examine your eyes if you notice a slow loss of color. The change could be due to Fuch’s heterochromic iridocyclitis, Horner’s Syndrome, and pigmentary glaucoma."

Lasik eye surgery helps cure astigmatism by reshaping the cornea.\n\nI just had it about a month ago, very amazing stuff.

Go for it!  But let me tell you EXACTLY how the procedure will go down.  My husband had the surgery in 2000, and I sat in the waiting room and was able to watch the entire surgery on television live.  They take these clamps and pull his eye open, after he is giving a strong numbing agent in the eye.  Well, he cant feel the clamps. Then, the doctor cuts open his cornea just to the point that it hangs over.  He takes the exposed area and zaps the eyes with a laser. It took just a minute, and then he flips the cornea back into place, and taped my husband's eyes closed. Next, he did the other eye.  Well, he finished in less than five minutes. My husbands eyes were taped shut and these honeycomb looking things were placed over both eyes, along with those big huge glasses you see the elderly people wearing. And voila! That was it. He was given a sedative which helped him sleep when we got home.  He had to wear those honeycomb looking things overnight, but it didn't bother him because he was knocked out from the sedative. He also had plenty of eyedrops. Well, a week later he had a follow up appt. and his vision was incredible!!!!  I hope you decide to do it. And over the years, LASIK has become more and more affordable.  Here's to a speedy recovery.

I've had LASIK and to tell you the truth, I think it was the best thing for me.\n\nI was totally freaked out before I had it done!  I kept working myself up.\n\nI've had problems with my eyes for quite a while.  My contacts used to get really dried out and I would have to take them out and wear glasses by 5:30/6:00 p.m.\n\nYou can't feel anything.  They put drops in your eyes to numb them.  You can see what's going on, but not really.  All you see is a red light.  That's all.\n\nMy surgery cost about $2K an eye.  There are other places that are cheaper/more expensive.  You should shop around to see what kind of prices you can get and what qualifications the doctors have.\n\nI know that may sound like a lot of money, but when you think about it, you're saving the money on the glasses, contacts and contact solution.\n\nIf you want more info you can email me.  Hope this helped.

you are conscious, only your eye is numbed. You could check with your doctor if you prefer something different, but it would also effect the price of the surgery considerably.

no- your eyes will stabalise at one level, unfortunetly they wont ever improve. corrective lenses can help as can laser surgery
