I had DMEK surgery 3 years ago after suffering with Fuch's for decades (no pain, but lights against a dark background were surrounded with halos, and colors were dull). Best decision I've ever made. I was given basically the same advice and I followed it as faithfully as I could, and the results were great--both in the doctor's opinion and my own. I had an additional restriction: I live near Prescott, Arizona about a mile above sea level. I had to travel to Phoenix for the DMEK procedure, the nearest place that offered it. Because of the altitude difference, I had to wait 5 days before returning home--otherwise the bubble holding the transplant in place would expand and possibly burst with the change in altitude and reduced pressure. I don't like to think about that collateral damage. Even with that inconvenience, I couldn't be happier with the result. My corrected vision is 20-20, I don't require glasses to drive, and the best part is the halos are gone, and colors are bright and vibrant again!

So this will get worse? can it be healed? :(

Hello doctor , whenever i go to sleep my eyes feel heavy when I lay my head on the pillow. and when i wake up, i wake up with swollen upper eyelid( the area below the eyebrow) and it hurts. dkw

Well, mine is more embarrassing. Made a sandwich for lunch before work, I was really hungry when i made it, so i went to take a bite witu a ziploc in the same hand and the very very sharp corner of the ziplock zipper poked me right in the eye. 3 scratches on my cornea. Been probably close, if not already, a year now. It doesnt flare up as much as it used to, but my god when it does its debilitating

Hey doc. I’m been dealing with this for 30. My doctor is telling me to get a transplant. Where are you located. I want to try this treatment.

How kind of you to talk us through tomorrow's surgery . All that information will be very helpful tomorrow

Hi Dr Anthony My left eye is lazy and vision in right eye was correct till 2018 but then I started to face vision problems and in Dec 2020 I got diagnosed with kretoconus in my right eye. I have been using corneal lens (RGP) since January 2021. I arrived here in Sydney last year and now I want to get my eyes reassessed for possible treatments as treatment options were limited in my home country. I want to visit your clinic and get myself assessed again. I am a PhD student and have Overseas Health Coverage with NIB. Kindly respond to my comment. Muhammad Adnan

For this surgery. Can they put you under ansthesia?

Doctor i need your help please where can we chart private

I had lasik eye surgery four years ago. I never had dry eye before and developed dry eye afterwards. One day my left eye went black for 20-30 sec and I got scared and saw my optometrist who looked behind my eyes and saw nothing also confirmed it wasn’t an eye stroke. I still had a healthy eye and 20/20 vision. Today I wake up and have a sharp stabbing pain in the same eye. I put warm compress, took fish oil supplements, eye drops, and castor oil and it has been shooting the pain on and off all day. Please do you have any suggestions? Do you think it’s more than dry eye🙏

So, once you told him it was "psychosomatic" the problem resolved itself?

Success rate if you have fuchs, ive had mine rebubbled.

thank you Dr Maloof, it could be psychosomatic indeed. In young patients, the usual suspect is allergic conjunctivitis, called mistakenly "dry eye" by some colleagues. The papillae could be very mild, but the symptoms could be severe, with suicidal risk.

hello dr can an 18 year old with glaucoma and a dilated pupil have a dmek surgery normally ?

Good morning - how long after cornea transplant the thread stitches are removed plse? Thank u

Dr I have a scar from a knife scratching my eye from when I was 5 years old right in the center and it made my vision blurry. Im 23 now, do you think there is something I can do to improve it? I dont have any aesthetic issues with my eye and thats why I never looked too much into it (while sacrificing my other eye health) but if something can be done Id like to look into it.

is this burring possible if i have had a PTK due to scaring on the cornea?? im getting the Recurrent Corneal Erosion symptoms after i had the PTK (had to have it do to remove the haziness due to scarring) i was told that it is alot better after the surgury, but i cant do another round of PTK as the skin is too thin to do so. would cross linking help in strengthening the skin by any chance??

Hi dr anthony, I was told that I have high eye pressure after doing that scan (te one with the rainbow colours) and was asked do I rub my eyes. I said no I don’t and that my vision is quite bad and gets worse every year. He told me that after 2 or so months it had progressed with a change in the eye mapping. Would your opinion be that I should get cross linking done as to stop my ey sight getting worse?? Also do you do video consultations as im from Melbourne. thank you

may i ask please, after a year or more is it normal to have to always use dry eyes drops?? my eye get irritated in the middle of the night at times, especially when its warm weather. i had PTK done as i had some scarring from an eye infections years ago. the haze has gone, but i have no longer got back clear vision. Is there something i should look into?? would getting the cross linking help in my case?? im from melbourne BTW thank you

Dr I’m 17 and I have a scar in front of my left eye and it’s rlly hard to see and I’m worried if there is not surgery for it because my right is starting to get like my left eye and I pray to god it don’t get like my left eye ? Is there anything I can do about my left eye or my right eye before it gets worst ?

Dr can scars remove parmanent by this method?

Ok here guys Dr. Anthony Is it possible to progress myopia by 5 diopters in 5 years in your late 20s, from rubbing your eyes and sleeping on stomatch? Would that be keratoconus? Or what exactly gets damaged from doing that to cause this high nearsigthness?

Doctor, could you please advise how to wash your hair safe after PTK? In which position and also if shampoo may get in the eye? Also if you don’t mind telling, is it uncomfortable to keep a lens for the whole month or so? Usually when I wore contact lenses in the past I couldn’t wait to take it off at the end of the day. Is this lens feels any different?

What kind of surgery do you need for a central haze and scar in one eye? Will that surgery cure you? Could I do a cataract surgery after treating a haze in cornea? Will I ever be able to stabilise my vision? I’m really desperate here, really distraught: the surgeon told me I had the haze and a scar on cornea when I came to discuss a cataract surgery. Now I’m waiting to see a corneal doctor and surgeon. I’m scared of what he’s gonna tell me. The first surgeon wrote in his report that scarring looks inactive and long-standing. Please give me some idea how serious it is. My eyesight started deteriorating last summer in that eye and I was told in December that it’s a cataract, but I could not have imagined I had something else there!!!

HI DOCTOR. HOPE YOU WILL BE FINE. I GOT CORNEA; SCARS IN MY RIGHT EYE AFTER transPRK AND MY THICKNESS IN THIS EYE IS 280. WHAT I HAVE TO DO NOW,? I ALSO GOT EYE FLOATERS IN RIGHT EYE AND LITTLE BIT FOGG IN IT. IM POSITIVE FOR HERPES TOO. DONT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THESE PROBLEBS EITHER HSV OR LASER SURGERY. PLEASE REPLY ME. LOCAL SURGEONS HAS GIVEN ME EYE DROPS AND MULTIVITIMIN AND SAID SCARS CANT BE FIX BY ANY SURGERY DUE TO THINESS IN RIGHT EYE.

Doctor I have nebular in the epithelium of my left eye as a result of a viral keratitis (I suspect from common cold) I caught last month and healed recently. Is it true that it should clear with time? I'm still taking antiviral, antibiotics, and bovine growth factor eye drops every day.

Fascinating ! We sufferers had or have that

Is this applicable for deep scars in cornea caused by keratoconus ?

I had SMILE 11 months ago. I think there is still some haze in my right eye, can this be remedied? it causes glare.

I had recurrent corneal erosion at least 5 times. After doctor prescribed me eye ointment, RCE didnt reoccur for last month. But I still suffer from double or tripple vision. Will this go away or I will need a surgery?

Does corneal erosion cause dry eyes? Does the dryness heal with time?

Can this be an alternative to Corneal Burring if I can't find any Corneal Burring treatment in the UK? Also if I had Laser eye surgery 4 years ago would it be safe for me to do this surgery?

I use losartan eye drops, for corneal clouds in a some weeks. It’s a test.

Hi! Doc! I just want to ask question back in 2022 i got eye an injury due to foreign particles penetrated to my left eye which is came from a rust metal when i was chipping. The company doctor that assigned on me advise to just put an eye drop which is "vegadexa" actually they dont give me proper treatment like you said laser and other special treatment except that vegadexa eyedrop,i had a scar on the center it is need to remove this scar? What will be happen in the future if not to remove? To be honest i got a dual vision when i look the letters sometimes theres a thing that i couldnt explain what happen in my eye something pain,not comfy to look on something.

Hello Dr. Maloof. Do scars on cornea by herpez zoster keratitis goes away? With any known treatment?

Thank you Dr Maloof for sharing this remarkable work you do. My friend had the lens on both eyes replaced as a result of cataracts. I wonder if this is the same procedure. Blessings to you and your family.

Was cleaning yard and u think some debris may have gotten into eye. Optometrist put dilating drops in eye. It now appears as if there is a haze cloud in eye and around the peripheral the light has dimmed. An adverse reaction to the drops. Are these symptoms consistent w cornea injury.
