Lasik Surgery after AN surgery?
« on: September 22, 2012, 10:22:55 am »
Has anyone had successful Lasik surgery after AN surgery?  I am concerned that since my right eye does not close all the way even with the gold weight that I may have trouble having Lasik surgery but I hate weariang glasses!!!  Has anyone had experience either way???

I'd be concerned about  having even more difficulty with dry eye.  What do your doctors recommend?

I underwent cataract surgery a year after my AN surgery/radiation but I did not have any eye issues following my AN surgery so that may not be relevant. 

I believe this question would be best answered by an ophthalmologist.

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

The opthalmologist says it "can" be done but just wondered if anyone had had it done.  I have learned that the doctors don't always tell you everything!

Do you have dry eye after AN treatment?  If so, I think I'd ask if the surgery will make this worse.

I looked into it at one time but because I lost my balance and hearing on one side, the doctors there would not perform the surgery incase something went wrong.
