Talk:Eye surgery

message: This page was listed on Mediawiki:Opentask (now Template:Opentask, but there's a lot wrong with it. For one thing, it deals exclusively with laser procedures, totally bystepping "regular" pseudophakia, operative correction of strabismus and invasive therapy for recidivating retinal detachment. I lack the knowledge to do this... JFW | T@lk 19:25, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: Much of the material on this page was duplicated on Refractive surgery. IMHO, discussing refractive *and* nonrefractive surgeries here would make the page unwieldy; refractive surgery, and each of the other techniques mentioned here, can easily fill a page of their own. So I moved-and-merged most of the refractive-specific stuff from this page to refractive surgery; unfortunately that's turned this page back into a stub for the time being, for which I apologise, but it seems preferable to having two diverging articles on refractive surgery.--Calair 23:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

text: *Moreover, many of the procedures listed on the page are historical only and are not being done in clinical practice nowadays. They have been superseded by safer and more effective procedures. Somebody more interested in the history of eye surgeries should write them down, coz having so many red links on the page makes it look as if the field is not covered. Overall, not many of them deserve a page of their own, as it would be at the most a paragraph of stub level, again needing a merge into eye surgery. EyeMD 05:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *There are a couple of ways to address the red links. One is to click on them, then create a redirect to the most appropriate article. Another is to move them to the most appropriate article. Or, we can create a proper alphabetical list in List of eye surgeries or something similar. -AED 19:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

text:  I agree with the first suggestion, its important to redirect, but making sure that it does not lead into circles, i.e. the redirect should not lead back to the page where the link was clicked. I am sure there is a wiki-term for that, but I don't know it yet. A proper alphabetical list of eye surgeries is likely a huge page - it would be a placeholder for eye surgeries. IMHO, it would lead to it being a page where it may become a very much referenced and linked to page, but with just the utility of being like a traffic policeman - "You go there, and you go there :-) I stay here!" Someone searching wikipedia for may become annoyed by frequent visits to that all encompassing page, with nothing more to show than a link to the actual surgery, which the search should have lead to directly. These are my thoughts. However, ultimately it is a good idea. EyeMD 18:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think that the image of "Eye surgery in the Middle Ages" is silly?  My first thoughts on seeing the image were "Are you kidding me?"  I don't mean to be rude, but I just think that my reaction may not have been an isolated case.  It seems like we could find something more...current.  Arathon 00:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "Keratomilleusis is method of reshaping the cornea surface to change its optical power. A disc of cornea is shaved off, quickly frozen, lathe-ground, then returned to its original power."
original power does not make sense in this context. Perhaps the author meant place... as in the part of cornesa is reinserted into the eye. I may be wrong though.

thread_title:  Possible typo? 

message: Having undergone laser surgery for retinal detachment I came to this article (and a few associated articles) expecting to find the answer to some questions - without success.
It would seem to me, commonsense that if a laser beam is directed at the eye to photocoagulate the retina (which is at the rear of the eye) the beam must pass through several structures - exothelium, lens, maybe iris, vitreous humour to name a few.
I would have thought repeated laser treatment of the retina could damage these other structures.
It would be appreciated if the article could explain this along with a more detailed treatment of the types of lasers as they apply to eye surgery.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oaec (talk • contribs) 07:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
