I AM A 32 Y/O FEMALE WHO HAD LASIK DONE THREE YERAS AGO(-2.50) . INMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY I FELT SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MY RIGHT EYE AND WHEN I HAD VISUAL FIELDS DONE I HAD TUBULAR VISION IN RIGHT EYE AND NORMAL FIELDS IN LEFT EYE. THE ERG WAS NON-RECORDABLE IN RIGNT EYE AND DISCRETELY SUBNORMAL IN LEFT EYE.I HAVE RETINAL CHANGES COMPATIBLE WITH PSEUDORETINITIS PIGMENTOSA IN RIGHT EYE WITH (PIGMENTED BONE SPICULES)AND SOME DISCRETE PIGMENT EPITHELIUM CHANGES IN LEFT EYE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER CASES LIKE MINE?.
I am in Miami, and I would be happy to examine your eyes. I have never heard of a case such as yours - as typically patients with retininitis pigmentosa will not undergo elective surgery such as LASIK.
Please feel free to contact my office, as besides myself, we also have 2 excellent retina specialists.
Thank you
