Is Latisse Safe for Someone Who Has Sjorgren’s Syndrome?

Latisse may irritate Sjogrens.
Jan 20, 2012

The major "ingredient" of Latisse is latanoprost. This is a pro-inflammatory medication. Sjogrens is essentially an autoimmune condition and so it could worsen your dry eyes if the medication gets in your eyes. If you apply it strictly to your upper lashes you should be ok. I would wait on trying it until your Sjogrens is well controlled first.

What is the Ideal Age to Have Lasik Eye Surgery?

Refractive Surgery Perfect Age
Jan 15, 2012

I like to wait until patients are at least 21 and I make sure that their prescriptions are stable, so they can enjoy their results longer! It is difficult to pick an ideal age, but anywhere from the mid-20s to 40s is usually reasonable. I was 25 when I had mine done!

Too Old for Lasik?

No upper age limit
Jan 15, 2012

There is no set maximum age for refractive surgery–it just depends on the patient and the situation. If cataracts are present, it is usually better to have those removed first. In order to fine-tune the vision afterwards, refractive surgery is a great option! Dry eyes may become more of a problem postoperatively, but that is usually transient.

Is LASIK a Good Way to Correct Presbyopia?

Monovision is a good option, with a few caveats
Jan 15, 2012

LASIK or PRK are both good options for treating presbyopia, under the right circumstances, and as long as the patient realizes that it is not a long-term cure. When using "monovision", the dominant eye is set for distance and the nondominant eye is set for near. It is not tolerated by everyone, and I usually recommend a contact lens trial preoperatively to ensure that the patient will be happy after the surgery.

Patients also need to realize that while this…

Red lines in whites of eyes

No worries
Apr 30, 2011

You likely have a small subconjunctival hemorrhage.  When the vaccuum is applied before the microkeratome cuts the flap, it can break a blood vessel and essentially cause a "bruise" on the white part of the eye.  Depending on the size, it goes away in days to weeks.  Afterwards, you should be no worse for the wear and your outcome should NOT be affected by this.

I Had Lasik and PPK About Four Years Ago. I Have Tear Duct Plugs. Is Latisse Still Safe?

Latisse can worsen dry eye
Apr 19, 2011

If you've had refractive surgery done (in this case LASIK and PRK), that can certainly cause worsening dry eyes.  It is usually temporary, but can be long-lasting in some cases.  Dry eye can often have an inflammatory component, which is the basis of patients using Restasis, which is a safe anti-inflammatory medication.  Medications like Latisse have the ability to stir up the immune system locally and could make dry eye worse.  When used in drop form for glaucoma,…
