Question:
With permanent punctual occlusion do you mean to say cauterization of the
Puncta ? This is irreversable step , isnt it so ?
Now this punctual plugs, will it cause any irritation to eyes and does it
make me feel as if something is always in my eyes?
How often should one change when it comes to temporary punctual plugs. Is it
possible for individuals to change it by themselves or u need a doctor
everytime around you change ?
Answer:
In fact, this study showed that laser energy did not cause
lens related chemical changes suggestive of cataractogenesis and
further, the study was inconclusive if the small, but measurable,
increase in malondialdehyde levels actually would cause cataracts.
Perhaps you should look at the November 1999 paper by Giasson, et al
that determined conclusively that excimer energy does not cause
cataractous ferrous oxidation.
There is, however, ample evidence that shows the bio mechanical
components that may cause cataracts are not scientifically shown to be
problematic in post-refractive surgery patients.
Unless you have more than a theory, I suggest you express your opinion
as an unsubstantiated opinion not supported by fact. Otherwise, you
will be misleading people into believing something that is not shown
to be true.
