If I have laser eye surgery to correct my vision and damage my eyes?

Question

I had eye surgery and got "Arc eye" at work from being exposed to welding. Will this damage my vision or will my eyes heal properly and give me back my full vision. The surgery was carried out 4 months ago

Answer 1

They would not do laser surgery if it was dangerous. So it is safe to get done.

Answer 2

The question is do you have a refactive erroe now? Meaning do you where glasses or contacts to make your vision better than it is without glasses. Beings that you had visual acuity loss from cellulitis means that your eye can probably only see a certain line on the chart and that line may not be the 20/20. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve with laser vision correction. If you are looking to correct the damage done by orbital cellulitis when you were a child then NO laser vision correction is not for you. If you are looking to eliminate your glasses than depending on your corneal measurements and prescription and how stable your prescription is depends if you are even a canidate for surgery. Not everyone is eligible for the surgery. If you are looking to regain vision laser will not do that. It will just correct you current refractive error and eliminate your glasses.

Answer 3

hi i want to know whether you had the laser eye surgery before you got the 'arc eye' as its unclear from the question.
i dont think yahoo answers is the appropriate place to be asking this question, as most people will not know the answer and just conjecture. i suggest that you see your optician or doctor and ask them for advice, i hope it is curable.
ps dont panic, im sure there will be a way out, atleast so you can see better, hopefully.

I've had eye surgery, after four months you're eyes should be largely healed after four months.

Regardless - laser eye surgery remains a destructive means to improve eye sight - you loose in some way, and it improves in others... generally the brain compensates for the areas lost. (the brain is a truly remarkable organ).

However, it sounds like you have been exposed to multiple sources of extreme light - I would strongly suggest seeing your eye doctor (the one who performed the laser surgery) and discuss your concerns.

In my case, I've lost peripheral vision in one eye, to stop bleeding in the eyes.

Only your eye doctor can give you a clear sense of what to expect and what to avoid.

Take care,

Always close your eyes when someone strikes up an arc,,even the blue light bouncing off the walls can give you arc eye,,but it does wear off after a few days,,try wearing shades at work
