Ask your doctor or surgeon, I don't think so but make sure!

Hi. My husband and I are debating a similar question for his dad. He had open heart 9 years ago, and has also had multiple procedures on carotid arteries. He's in horrible shape now and we fear that he won't survive another open heart surgery... but we want him to have a better way of life than what he has now, if it's possible. To answer yours- if the person is in pretty good physical strength and condition, I think it's totally worth it. BUT, like the other 2 people said, talk to the Dr's. Write down your questions and concerns.  That's why I'm on here-trying to get as much information as possible for the Dr's appt. Good luck!

I understand what you're talking about. My dad had partial retina detachment and it was repaired several years back. I don't think he had a hole like what you're speaking of. Find an othomologist in your area. MOST can handle that IF they do surgery.

I agree on corneal transplant. Its an immune privileged site due to the absence of blood vessels so less exposure to circulation immune factors. \nThe operation itself is pretty technically demanding though.

I have horrible vision and that was one of my main concerns boxing.  You don't acually have to spar if you don't want to.  I started taking boxing for the fitness involved but now I am passionate about it and just recently started sparing.  If I take my glasses off all I can see is basically a shadow.  You don't need to see someones fist clearly to know that they are going to punch you if you think about it.  Just look at their chest not their eyes and don't follow their arms if you just look at their chest you can react a lot better.  And It's probably better learning how to box without seeing properly because you learn to use the rest of your senses. :)\n\nAnd also not everyone qualifies for laser surgery I don't\n\nAnd I wouldn't wear contacts sparring...

It's good to rest your eyes--at least try to take them out in the evenings.  I don't think it makes your vision worse, but it can affect your eye health as far as the cornea and infections etc. I haven't heard of the Renu problem, but there was a Bausch & Loumb recall.

My husband had it done 2 years ago. I got it for him for his birthday. He tells me all the time it was the best thing her has ever done. Immediately he said everything was much sharper. The day of surgery the best thing to do is sleep after that you are good to go. Just be sure you wear sun glasses to protect your eyes and prevent them from needing to have it done again.

There are various types of surgeries that are done on the eyes.\n\nYou refer to 'improving eye sight'. Well these surgeries are to affect the lens in the eyes to improve vision.\n\nGlaucoma is related to the liquid in the eyeball. There is an entry valve and an exit valve for this liquid. When the exit valve does not function properly the liquid continues to flow into the eyeball and as a result the liquid pressure in the eyeball increases. This liquid keeps on pressing the Optic Nerve endings scattered in the eye ball. Due to this high pressure the nerve endings gradually die one by one. Thus a person will gradually lose his eye sight.\n\nThe operation for this is to assist the out flow of the liquid.  Thus an eye sight improvement operation cannot help or prevent Glaucoma.\n\nThere are various types of other eye problems - like degenaration of the optical nerve, a block in the duct that brings liquid into the eyeball etc.  Thus these are completely different problems.

"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."

Go to an eye doc first and find out if you are really myopic. Even if you are don't despair, lasik surgery is very evolved and you can regain perfect eyesight. Give your eyes a lot of rest and look away from the screen every half an hour. Also eat carrots and green leafy vegetables, your eyes will feel better.

Oh yes heart surgery is very very dangerous! Umm, heart transplant is even more dangerous! If you'll have a heart surgery remember to relax before the surgery and calm your body down. You don't want your heart to be speeding really fast and your pressure high. It's always better to relax!!

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.

umm...for blindness and safety and age...let me think...\na ha! you must be at least eighteen years old to have an operation. (cornea transplant to correct blindness) but if you want to have it more on the safe side, then just wait till you are a middle aged person 25 yrs to 35

You need to see an Opthalmologist,not an Optometrist.\n    An optometrist can not treat the injury as an Opthalmologist can.\n    You could have some serious problems either with your corneal or your the iris of your eye.\n    Either way you could have an infection /inflammation that left untreated could cause some serious problems down the road.\n    Should there be nothing wrong,it is better to be safe than it is to be sorry......We only get 2 eyes and we have to protect them.
