Floaters after LASIK- Warning!
November 7th, 2009 by lasik
Many patients report increased floaters (posterior vitreous detachment) after LASIK. Vacuum by the microkeratome suction ring increases intraocular pressure and places stress on the vitreous and retina.

DITTO! The dry eyes are the most painful thing to deal with. Nothing helps. Have used Restasis, punctal occlusion, and now flaxseed oil twice a day. None with any great effects on the dryness and corneal erosion. I HATE LASIK!

LASIK was the worst decision of my life, it felt like a thousand needles sticking my eyes. They market it like it’s painless but it’s not. The suction ring felt like it pulled my eyes out of their socket. LASIK promotes permanent conditions with no cure:
-Dry Eye Syndrome
-Double Vision
-Night Halos/Starbursts
-Depression
-Loss of Visual Acuity
-Accelerated Aging of the Eye
-Lack of Natural Tear Production
-Each Year Post LASIK Vision Gets Progressively Worse
-Cell Tissue Mutation

Would you do LASIK if you knew the TRUE SUCCESS RATES?
1st Year Post LASIK: 88% success rates.
2nd Year Post LASIK: 65% success rates.
3rd Year Post LASIK: 50% success rates.
4th Year Post LASIK: 45% success rates.
5th Year Post LASIK: 40% success rates.
6th Year Post LASIK: 40% success rates.
7th+Year Post LASIK: Below 40%success rate.
Will you be one of the “lucky ones” that can last 10+ years without contacts or glasses?

I am a LASIK surgeon. I won’t deny that the distortion of the eye with a microkeratome may induce floaters, especially with nearsightedness. I am also one of just three doctors in the US specializing in the treatment of vitreous floaters. I’ll post a “video response” for anyone interested.

I have floaters post-LASIK. I know some patients suffering from post-LASIK complications have floaters bigger than mine. The worst part about them is that I will have to look at them for the rest of my life. As if that’s not bad enough, I also have LASIK nerve damage induced severe dry eyes. LASIK is the gift that keeps on giving.
