My father has scaring in his right eye from an injury he had when he was a kid. All he sees is foggy colors but no shapes. We went to a specialist and they said there was nothing that could be done. Do you think this procedure you’re explaining would work on such scars?

Hello, how else can it be reversed? I had an appointment yesterday where a doctor had said CXL is now necessary. I asked for copies of the scans and she just laughed and said “they can’t be printed”… I asked if I could do anything try to stop the progression etc. since it appeared to be stable for a while… she scoffed and laughed again saying “it’s just the nature of the diseases”. Unbelievably sickening.

Do you know anyone who doing it in Poland?

Hello Doctor, I scratched my left eye on 31/08/2024, I have corneal abrasion , my Cornea is healed now, I don’t feel pain anymore since 3 weeks ago. I consulted any doctor who has 32 years experience and he is a cornea consultant. Both doctors said I should use eye drops lubricant and eye gel. I used also eye drops which contain NaCl. I tried everything, both doctors said I need more time until the blurry vision goes away. One of the doctors said I might need another Lasik surgery , while the other one kept saying I just need 2 more weeks. I don’t think that the blurry vision will go away. By the way, I had 1 lasik surgery on my left eye in 2016. Please Advise me doctor.

i have foggy eye since childhood, when injured by a object. i lived with one eye without seeing. what shall i do

Hey Doc, so I scratched my cornea about 15 months ago by taking a tennis ball to the eye. I went to A&E and was given anti-biotic eyedrops but ever since one or twice a month I get the same feeling in my as I did when I scratched my cornea usually when waking up in the morning and my eye gets very teary as well what would you suggest to do?

Hi Dr Maloof , I recently emailed you regarding a proposal to design your youtube thumbnails. I wanted to know if you had the chance to review it.

WOW! So intricate

Hi there, I have a lump on the bottom half of my lid & its been there for years, its completely smooth, but a little whitish. Will i be able to have it surgically removed if im willing to pay for it? I had the doc look at it & she says it's nothing to worry about, but I think it to be so unsightly

Thank you for this video Dr Maloof. I've had my fair share of these. Appreciate it if you could do a video on dry eyes - the cause and management. Thank you!

Wow stress is nasty

I suffer from this and let me tell you.. the pain is unbelievable. I find that I have an episode from either playing too many video games (so maybe lack of blinking) or from not being hydrated enough. I could be wrong but that has been my observation.

Is it normal that my eye with the recurrent corneal erosion is so blurry every time it attacks and when in pain? Erosion is like every other week, it becomes blurry then slowly my vision tends to improve very very slowly. Then erosion occurs again

Thank you for this. Very comprehensive and reassuring. I only wish my own ophthalmologist was more forthcoming with recovery information. I mean, I know I needed this surgery. I know there are other treatments but they are less effective. I know I have needed this surgery for a long time, but they wanted to wait until I needed cataract surgery because I am a Veteran of the US Navy, and they have their reasons. At least I have had the surgery. I have hope that my vision will improve going forward. But they gave me no information about recovery other than, "Use these drops this many times a day for this many days or until we tell you to stop, and use these drops this many times a day until we tell you to stop. Take over-the-counter pain relievers for any discomfort. Wear Sunglasses." Not really much information about how long recovery was going to take. Your video fills in that gap. And yes, I am aware that by leaving this comment I reveal myself to be current in technology, which is an occupational hazard. I am a computer support and IT person. Somebody has to do it ...

Does this often cause blurriness for 1-3 days after??

What kind of drops or solutions do you recommend to do before bed?

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, I'm trying to send an enquiry through your website but I keep getting an error message. Do you have an email address at all?

Muchas gracias for pre-managing expectations, excellent stuff

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.
