Extreme light/glare sensitvity post cataract surgery

by light show, Feb 09, 2007 12:00AM

I found a response to my earlier posting but it appeared under 'Wigfield'. It was from 'Dr. Crysta' posted on Jan.30/07. I would like to respond to this person. How do I go about contacting him/her as the 'Wigfield' thread is closed to comments and I believe mine is as well.
Also, when searching for more information on the internet, I found my entire site there ... do you post some of your inquires onto the www?
Thank you.

In searching on MSN for more info on dysphotopsia, low and behold, there is my site listed under the above subject and seems to have been posted my medhealth ... I'll contact them with respect to this and how I can reach the person who responded to my problem on medhealth forum. Thanks for you speedy response.

To: Eye therapy device with blinking light/ blue light

Dear Sir / Madam,

In the treatment of myopia, if a device is used which requires the patient to look into a device with a single eye at each time for 10 minutes daily, and where the device has blinking lights, would there be a negative impact on the user's eyes arising from regular and constant exposure to the blinking lights. Also, would the fact that one of the colours used is blue worsen the user's eyes considering the medical literature on the harmfulness of blue light therapy? Would either situation be exacerbated where the users concerned are children?

Your ealry reply will be very much appreciated.

Thanks & best regards.

Clement

blinking lights do not cause or fix any eye problem. they will not "treat" myopia or anything else. in patients with known epilepsy, blinking lights can induce seisures, but in now way do they harm the eye (or treat the eye!)

To: Dr. Crysta

DR. CRYSTA ... please contact me again. You left a response to me on January 30/07, however, it appeared under another site ... hopefully, you will receive this .. I have read that the silicone iol's are less prone to glare than the acrylic iol's. I cannot believe that I am so rare a case, especially with all the material that I have read. I would appreciate hearing more from you or, perhaps, you could direct me to a source that could help. Thank you ... reading your January response really made my day.
