Question 1

have glaucoma with a life expectancy of 30+ yrs.  plan to work as a paralegal for 10 years. if  major surgery done is a detail oriented career over?

Accepted Answer

No not necessarily : If your glaucoma has progressed despite maximally tolerated medical/laser treatment, and your glaucoma doc has recommended surgery, generally this is to stabilize the disease progression. Your quality of vision depends on how much field loss you have in each eye and your visual acuity.

Question 8

how difficult is the surgery for epiretinal membrane and what is recovery like for someone who's occupation is very detail oriented?

Accepted Answer

Tricky: The surgery involves peeling off a membrane over the most sensitive part of the retina - the macula and fovea.  It is tricky and there is some risk.  It is done when the vision gets progressively worse or is at a level where you do not want to live with the distortion.  If you cannot do your "detail oriented" work now due to the distortion, then the risk might be worth it.

Question 9

does recauterization surgery after tonsillectomy reset healing process? will tongue, etc, hurt again? swelling again? can one still expect to feel better 14 days after initial surgery (as opposed to 14 from recauterization)? more details welcome?

Accepted Answer

Much less traumatic: A tonsillectomy involves cutting out the tonsils. A recauterization is in effect a burning of the newly healing scar, usually because part of the tonsil is regrowing. The recauterization is much less traumatic to your throat, and should heal much more quickly. You should expect to feel much better within 48 hours depending on how extensive the cauterization is.

Question 10

i will try to keep most details to myself but i am in need of urgent advice. 
i believe i broke my penis a year ago was too embarrassed to see a doctor, ny question is: if i were to go to the hospital would surgery still be an option?

Accepted Answer

: A fractured penis or a tear in the corpora cavernosa of the penis which is the layer around the erectile tissue can happen with sexual relations. Usually this Has to be fixed with surgery Immediately. After one year there’s usually too much scarring and no need for surgical repair. It would still be best to see urologist for evaluation
