Question I had PRK over three years ago with the Alcon 6000 laser and had a severe case of corneal hazing. I still wear glasses and they do not totally correct my vision (20/40 at best with a 5.25 & 5.75 prescription). My doctor keeps telling me to come back every six months and insists that it will get better - but Im getting a little tired of hearing the same thing. I have found no instances online of anyone with hazing for this long and dont know what my options are. Have you ever seen a patient with this issue and did the hazing ever clear? I also have ghosting and a loss of vision at night.
Answer Dear Des,
I am sorry to hear about your unfavourable outcome.
Corneal haze needs to be treated in the immediate post procedure period.
If you say 3 years have passed, it is unlikely to 'get better' unless something can be done about it.
Firstly you can e mail me your current eye check details esp the condition of the cornea, findings of the doctor, preferably Topography maps of the eyes.
You can send the same to safalashroff@lasikindia.in
Some cases can be retreated, however with good technolgy and good expertise.
Will await your communication,
Regards,
Dr Anand Shroff, MS (OPHTH), FICS
