I went to one eye laser clinic and they told me I was not a suitable candidate for corrective eye surgery. Should I give up or is it ok to shop around for a second opinion?

Not sure what you are asking, but you have problems with your eye. The Dr. is doing what is normal and appropriate for your condition. Often the doctor can't find a problem until he or she can look back into the eye. So, fixing the pressures is fine and a cataract fix then allowed him or her to see the macular hole.

Normal cataract surgery uses a phacoemulsification unit. This unit unit has a small tip on the end of it which uses a jackhammer type motion, it is irrigating as well as aspirating the eye to remove the debris from the eye (loosened catatact) while not collapsing the eye.

The laser technique is an alternative way to break up the cataract yet it still will need irrigation and aspiration for removal.

Corrective eye surgery like Lasik is extremely safe when performed by qualified doctors. Like any surgical procedure, there can be complications, but the complication rate is extremely low. Complications affecting vision after laser eye surgery is very less, even it carries less risk of infection than wearing contacts.Most of the eye surgeries are covered by insurance and some surgeons offer payment plans that help you get the surgery done within your budget. Cost is not an issue when it is the matter of your eyes.

It is very rare for vision to actually get worse rather than better after eye laser surgery. Very rarely there are complications, but it would have to be a really significant one to have this kind of effect. Make sure you talk through all your concerns with the surgeon before you agree to the surgery.

Don't worry - it's actually perfectly normal to experience vision issues such as light sensitivity, starbursts, halos etc for a few weeks after laser corrective surgery. If after a month, you are still experiencing the symptoms or something is bothering you about your vision, then you should go back to your doctor.

some people say that corrective eye surgery lasts for the rest of your life. But there have been some cases of regression after many years. But those people often have a second surgery to correct their vision again.

No one can guarantee perfect vision after corrective laser surgery. What doctors can do is work out the probability that your vision will be 20/20 after the surgery. 95% of people with low to moderate vision problems achieve near normal vision after laser surgery. But be wary of any clinic or doctor that makes promises of perfect vision.

yes there is such a thing as snoring laser surgery. It's called laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (LAUPPP). Unlike the non-laser version of this surgery, it can be done in the outpatients clinic and in theory has less side effects then the non-laser surgery.

A hand held laser is used to shorten the soft palate and remove the uvula.
