I'm so sorry to hear this, brother. I canceled my LASIK surgery last week after researching what they actually do to your cornea. I hope you can recover.
@@chrisvig123 With SMILE they make a very small incision. With LASIK they make a big incision which can cause an eye trauma. Also the healing process of SMILE is very chill. No pain or whatever. You can do everything again the next day.
You described the issues I have almost exactly. I got Lasik rather than Smile and have all the same issues. Truly hellish surgeries. I know how hard it is, wishing you all the best in the future.
@@K00711 U r right; from mechanical view point it is a bast a rd operatio grinding your tissues and nerves and expecting it will heal with good focuses hahahhh;;; Primitive Stone Age huhuhh SURGEON kidding the publlc BJ @20K/day using R-kinematic
Hello . Unfortunately, I had the Rolex Smile operation two years ago, and it was not successful. I have exactly the same symptoms that I experienced. I wish you from my heart a speedy recovery. I will follow you to see your health condition as a motivation for me to cling to hope for treatment. I wish I had seen this video before the operation, but this is God’s will. I advise people not to do this operation.mehdi from Morocco
I regretting for not watching your video before my smile surgery 😢, Now 1yr after smile surgery, i have same problems u have, also i have vision issues in all distances, its was my worst decision in my life Doctors also suggested another surgery for me, its most risker, even most safe smile surgery cause this kind of worst complications means then that second surgery will ruin my life, Corporate hospitals doing this surgery for sake of money😢
Hi David. Great video. Please make more. You are helping so many people to avoid this criminal surgery. I believe that in five to ten years there will be some good stem cell treatments which will reduce some of these symptoms. Take care.
i had smile on monday, no light sensitivity or any side effects, night vison got better than with my glasses. best decision ever, paid 5500 euro, but with the best laser and best doctor in my region. its only the first days and it also gets better day to day. first day was like looking through a milk glass that getting thinner every hour. day after surgery milk glass was gone and only near vision wasnt that good but now a few days after it got well. my floaters are gone since the operation. one thing could be better, its the sharpness sometimes, but this got also better every day now, so few month and it will be perfect
@@Barb766 hey, i am fine, its all really good and i only have a minor issue. some days , especially on hot sommer days, there is a little bit too much light( but only in pools, which reflect the light even more) so i take sunglasses and all is good, not that i would need them, but its just for some moments where its too much.
@@alexanderpeter1703 u means u are sensitive to light ..? Hey what’s you opinion on LASIK OR PRK ..how’s the result there in your region do u know Someone in your family/friends who have done this surgery.. I live in Pakistan and here the smile is not that kuch popular compare to other places ..
You need Laserfit sclerals they are made specifically from a scan of your eye to correct the visual night aberrations you're seeing. There is only 3 laserfits in United States as far as I know but it's the only treatment I am aware of this problem. Normal sclerals do not work as they are made by guesses and estimations not a scan of your eye..
I am sorry about your many problems. I also have floaters and am trying the treatment in a natural way (with bromelina) and would recommend you reading about it. About the halo, I also had for a while and with time it disappeared naturallly, that‘s why I would leave a surgery only as a last resource. Wish you good luck. 🍀
Hi. I just saw your video. It's very sad that the doctor who performed the surgery on you either did not do their due diligence and tell you that you are not a suitable candidate or they blatantly lied to you. Nevertheless, I am sorry you have to wrestle with these complications. Can you provide us with an update? Do you still have the issues you discussed or did you seek further treatment to correct them?
My man checked every box for what could go wrong. Sadly you are 1% of the 1% of patients that get these results. You had an inexperienced/incompetent doctor who didn't assess your situation and did you wrong. I hope you can sue them to the ground, but fearmongering the surgery itself is unwarranted.
Hi David, could you clarify what kind of surgery they suggested to you? PRK perhaps? And why does it cause earlier cataracts? I'm suffering from these complications too due to large pupils and hoping for some solution. PS: don't get the vitrectomy, it's far too risky.
@@oscarmunoz9391 some use pupil-constricting eye drops (miotics), but they come with their own side effects and afaik, they are not safe for everyday use. For me, they cause severe discomfort but I have to say they reduce the starbursts significantly. It's worth a try at least. The solution you're looking for are scleral lenses. Unfortunately they're expensive and a bit cumbersome to put in and out, but they're very comfortable and provide the best possible vision for cases like ours. You'll need to find an contact lens specialist that is able to properly fit you with such a lens, though.
Sir what is the update on your eyes? And where clinic did you got your smile surgery ? Because I am now here in Korea and I was planning to get a smile surgery but I need a feedback first from other people that already done undergo in smile operation
How is there a risk of becoming nearsighted or farsighted when undergoing a surgery to treat night vision problems? I suffer from the same problems as you and would want to undergo another surgery to treat double vision etc.
How is your vision now? What you have done after that. I am experiencing same vision issue after lasik. I had it twice to fix the issue but It didn’t. Can you please what you have done to fix it. Thank you.
I have nearsightedness (I can't see things far away) -3.0 and now that I'm older when I wear my glass I have to take the off to see things near (reading a book,ect) and if I wear contacts...I have to put on readers glasses. (I can see things up close fine if I don't have contacts or glasses on) is this surgery ok for what I have? Or should I just not do it?
ALL types of unregulated laser & other refractive eye surgeries (lens replacement & Implantable Contact Lens) are massively more risky than anyone is told prior, and NO SURGEON in the world can fix serious complications & I've found this out the hard way! 😡 USA FOX DETROIT weather presenter Jessica Starr committed suicide shortly after having had 'SMILE' 🙄 with this being touted as the next great advance in laser eye surgery but it damages patients just like all the other types & ALL of them are just acceptable casualties to the surgeons & industry involved in profiting so much from these ops! 🤬
This could have been avoided with a treatment like Contoura PRK where my treatment area was 9mm… also having smaller pupils help. Thankfully my doctor said I have small pupils. PRK is also less likely to have chronic dry eyes when compared to LASIK. Apparently SMILE is good for dry eyes too, but the laser cannot treat as well as the excimer laser used in Lasik and PRK.
Not really. Here I am with wavefront guided PRK and the same exact issues as the author of the video. Your pupils are small, that's the only reason you don't experience these issues.
