Although there has been advancements in corneal scar minimization or transplant, but that doesn't change the fact that "Prevention is the only solution to eye injuries" I am ready to take every single thing to protect them from any kind of foreign particle or abrasion
It’s the time old saying, prevention is better than cure...
BUT, there are a lot of people suffering scars who could have done little to prevent them.
Glasses don’t protect eyes from foreign bodies, even protective glasses.
You would have to walk around with swimmers goggles, which wouldn’t be fun!
Doctor i need your help please where can we chart private
This is only a public forum. Where are you based?
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.
The scar won’t casue any long term problems. But it does cause the “dual vision” you describe.
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.
There are options to be explored. If you have a corneal specialists locally, they can examine you and work out options specific to your case.
For this surgery. Can they put you under ansthesia?
This is done under sedation.
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 ?
Same issues a scar in my right eye
There are may causes of scarring. Do you have a confirmed diagnosis?
Is this applicable for deep scars in cornea caused by keratoconus ?
No, unfortunatley not.
Dr can scars remove parmanent by this method?
Yes it will
Hello Dr. Maloof. Do scars on cornea by herpez zoster keratitis goes away? With any known treatment?
There are both surgical and non surgical treatments available with good outcomes. There are many factors involved and your local specialist will be able to discuss options with you after a thorough consultation.
Unfortunately it is not the case here in USA. I am visiting Wills eye hospital (one of the top eye hospital in 🇺🇸). Sr. Doctor told me its not possible. Once scars on cornea it won't go away. It's not limited to top surface of cornea. That is why I am asking after watching your video.
@@80sBornWorriorI have a scar after an ulcer for an infection. It not the biggest scar but it affects my vision slightly… I was also wondering
That explains it. Deep scaring cannot be treated by laser and I would not be rushing to layered transplant surgery. These corneas do not heal well. Long term steroid drops are useful to keep the cornea stable.
I have corneal scaring after cross linking, my corneal thickness is about 340mm. Can i do the procedure you are describing?
Thanks for your inquiry!
Unfortunately, collagen cross linking can cause scarring. It is an unpleasant truth, and yes, it has happened to me.
The good news is that stromal transplantation can restore vision, by removing the scar and replacing with clear tissue.
Thanks again for your query.
