Which eye surgery is best for astigmatism?
Hi there, It really depends on the amount of astigmatism, your age, your eye condition. There are several ways to get rid of it, the simplest one being Lasik ( if you are a good candidate) or possibly lens exchange procedure with special lens implants for astigmatism if you are older. Good luck! Dr Julia Giyaur READ MORE
Eye inflammation causes?
Hi there Iridocyclitis and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (basically severe dry eye ) are two different diagnosis and are treated differently. You need to have a clear diagnosis before treating. It also sounds to me that you are kinda starting and stopping drops. In most cases it takes longer than a week to see improvements. I would recommmend returning to your ophthalmologist to see what the exact diagnosis is and following their instructions as to treatment duration. READ MORE

Is it normal to have blurry vision after LASIK?
Hi there! The answer is: it depends. Sometimes you are a little blurry for a couple of days after Lasik and that could be normal . But if it is longer than that or the blurriness is significant please see your eye surgeon. You may have something that requires attention or it could a simple matter of needing a touch up. Good luck ! Julia Giyaur MD READ MORE
What anesthesia do you get for cataract surgery?
Hi there Most surgeries are done under “topical” anesthesia which means anesthetic eye drops and some lidocaine solution inside your eye. Since cataract surgery is mostly painless that is usually enough. You may get IV sedation if you are nervous. Some surgeons prefer to give you an injection behind the eye and slightly more sedation. It’s always best to discuss this prior to your scheduled date with your eye surgeon so you are emotionally prepared. At any rate majority of people have a positive experience during their cataract surgery. Good luck! Julia Giyaur MD READ MORE
