Thanks doctor, overthinking was really killing me.

Hi Dr. I have had an accident ever since I was a teen on my left eye and I'm literally not seeing anything with that eye Dr. Please is the anything that can be done, Doctor? The accident was caused by a curtain pole

My PTK story: A few months ago. I was poked in the eye by a nail 💅! After a few days of pain I noticed moon shaped 🌙 distortions around light in the dark. I hoped it would go away after a while but it didn't. After a few weeks I got stuck in a cycle of reccuring corneal errosions for months where the original wound kept opening up. I tried bandage contact lenses without luck. I now had PTK 3 days ago and my moons are gone and the pain is manageable. Hopefully the healing process will be corneal errosion free!

Hi doc. I had a radial keratonomy 1992 now the scar tissue is getting bad on my left eye is blurry and hazy. Is there a possibility to do laser on my affected eye?

doctor, i have been healing from acantameba keratitis since july. i have cornea scar and have been taking PHMB as nono therapy rn is there anything i can do to get rid of the cornea scar

Hi Dr, I hope you are doing well. Could you please let me know if there could be any way to fix a paramacular fuveal scar in the center of my eye? Im 37 years old, and I realised this scare was there when I was about 13 years old. Thanks in advance

I can relate so much to this. I had a PRK procedure 3 years ago in April. I had perfect vision. I began noticing blurriness here and there and had a few bouts of dry eye issues on and off. Most recently, my brother passed away tragically this year in May 2024 and I began to slowly see a bit hazy and blurry. After multiple visits with the eye doctor and steroid drops and oral tablets it seemed to be getting better, but took a turn earlier this month of December. I’m going on 3 weeks of not being able to see from my left eye. It is very hazy and everything appears blurry or foggy. Doctor thinks it may be due to an underlying autoimmune disease and/or consequences of PRK. I need some relief.😮‍💨🙏🏼

I have scar on cornea 9mm deep whts solution

Would that be a nasal lacrimal sack infection?

Bless his heart

Hello Can a corneal scar from wearing contact lenses be treated and disappear? Is there any chance a steroid droo can help it take away? thanks

Hello sir, is there any treatment for the liw vision caused by toxoplasmasis?? Please answer to this query

And suddenly im waking up everyday with that eye shut tight with crusts sometimes, and alot of pain. So now I find this video and I feel so devasted. Will I ever get better?

Is the surgery was painful sir?

I got this after poking my eye with a Manila folder.

Thank you JESUS for another day

Thank you I am experiencing the same symptoms and my eye has a clear circle next to my iris and it’s almost like it’s an own later. and a lot of irrational that I can see my blood vessels around it super red. I have tried eye drops the past few days and no relief. I am going to the eye doctor today to check it out but it’s no normal red eye.

You are amazing doc

I've just had ptk done hope this helps as I've had 4 sks done since july

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 a 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

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
