Question 2

can i smoke hash after 12 days of cornei transplant?

Accepted Answer

I would hesitate to: ... give you permission to smoke hash anytime!  It is not in your best health interest. The likelihood that any harm to your corneal transplant would result from it is very unlikely. But because it is such an important surgery, and, I presume, all your hopes are pinned on it being successful, I would avoid any drugs or medications that are not absolutely needed. Good wishes:)

Question 7

what insurance companies cover strabismus (wandering eye) surgery?

Accepted Answer

Policy dependent: Most insurance companies offer different policies-and coverage varies.  You'll need to call your company to see if this service is covered by your policy.  Most will require that you get 'prior approval' and many will require a 2nd opinion before they will grant that approval.  The severity of the problem, age of patient, and liklihood that surgery will be beneficial may be taken into account.

Question 8

help, i've only itch on upper+lower lid skin where lashes grow(mostly near eyecorner)+in eyecorner, feel dryeye. eyemd said allergy conjunc.tried 10meds?

Accepted Answer

Eye Lid Dermatitis: You have to stop all makeup until the skin heals. Use a cortisone cream like prescription Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) lotion. Then add each component of makeup for 4 days before you go onto the next. This way you may be able to find out what is causing the reaction.

Question 9

dsek prem.iol & cornea slipped, vis 20/70. dr. lifted cornea & it wrinkled.  2nd cornea trnsplnt but dev. cme.shots ok but blurry distance vision.  ?

Accepted Answer

A lot of info here: There is a lot going on here, but sounds like some of the common problems with such a procedure. You will not have good vision as long as you have cme. Sometimes with dsek you can't get 20/20 but worse than 20/40 is unusual. If you have a multifocal iol with a dsek, i suspect that could give diminished vision as well.

Question 10

why don't caucasian people have an epicanthus (epicanthic eye fold)?

Accepted Answer

Heredity: We develop characteristics that reflect our genetic ancestry.  Most caucasians lack a lid fold but not all.  A good question would be what is the survival advantage of such a fold which occurs so commonly in asians.  Some think it helps with harsh environments, but what do you think?
