Yes. Try the manufacturer of the implant.  The Dr. can probably tell you that..or the Medical supplier.

If you give more info as to what your looking for from such a surgery I could probably answer better but I'll try my best...\nI had an accident as a child and had to undergo retinal detachment laser surgery 12 years ago. It doesn't improve the existing condition (upper ocular blindness/ partial blindness) but it does prevent the retina from folding over further possibly causing total blindness.\nAs for it's success rate I'm not sure but it is definately higher than if you were not to attempt the procedure in the first place. It's a pain free no lose procedure.

Sorry couldn't find the correct answer...do know that they are offering Lasik procedures now though.  Often found it odd that when I was in, that the dentist would track you down and report you the 1SG if you hadn't gone in for an annual examine (and it's even part of your deployment criteria) but they never once check if you need new glasses.  So solider could have bad vision but have all their fillings ;-)

I don't have a specific answer for you, but have you tried asking your local eye doctor or optician?  They have access to just about everything available and may be able to point you in the right direction.

if you mean can be transplanted, it is the cornea. Impossible to be the iris.

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.

free surgery in this era? unfortunately I doubt it is possible, nothing ahppens for free in this country, if our cataracts are very symptomatic then you could consider some sort of a payment plan with the hospitals, otherwise wait to get medicare, good luck

They can attempt to inprove sight with a laser but there's no guarantee. What matters is the amount of damage that's already done. DON'T delay. Go to your doctor today! And good luck to you.

"Any type of surgery presents a risk and while an estimated 96% to 98% of the many millions of Lasik patients have no serious concerns, even years after surgery, there are a great number of them who have found that Lasik did not fully meet their expectations (they still needed glasses or contacts after surgery). Some small percent of Lasik patients are left with minor vision problems and a very small percent have had catastrophic problems. Such is the nature of any surgical procedure."

My grandma had one at age 70 and I know of someone else that is 26 and has cataracts. I think anyone of any age can get them if that's what you mean. They are more predominant in the elderly, but I think that's b/c over time, the sun can cause them.

Globally the most common cause of blindness (and by a significant margin) is loss of transparancy in the lens/cornea.  In the former case this is a cataract, and there are many infectious and other causes of the latter.  In these cases the retina is often undamaged and sight can be restored with a relatively simple operation.\n\nIn the western world, macular degeneration related to diabetes is probably no 1.\n\nIf your retina was torn it has likely been 'welded' back onto the back of your eye where it should be by laser.  This usually leads to some loss of visual field in the area which has been lasered, as the retina is effectively burnt there and does not recover.  There is no reason to think that this will get any worse than it is now, however.\n\nWe are some way from bionic eyes at the moment.

Best money that i ever spent.   Had a prescription (for contracts) of -6.5 in both eyes - so my eyesight was terrible.   Had both eyes done at the same time - better than 20;20 vision after recovery.  Hurts a little bit straight after, but recovery time is quick - everything was fine after 2-3 days.  \n\nWould advise anybody to have it done.

You also may want to ask the optometrist - I have astigmatism and when I went in for new contacts 6 months after my last eye exam, I found out my eye had changed shape quite a bit, changing my prescription for the toric lense (my weights wouldn't hold in the right place).  The blurriness has to be the weight swinging wrongly.  \n\nYou know, it could also be that the company screwed up on your order - maybe give them a call.

Some surgeons will, but the more respectable ones won't.  The reason is because it is very hard to monitor your glaucoma after LASIK because the intraocular pressure readings will not be accurate, so it will be difficult to determine how well your glaucoma drops are working.
