After pars plana vitrectomy for a macular hole, the patient will be required to maintain a particular restricted head position. This may vary depending on the size of the hole, from days to several weeks. Your surgeon will be the one who best determines the amount of time that you need to maintain head-down positioning after vitrectomy surgery. In order to maintain the head-down positioning that your surgeon requests, there are devices that can be leased or purchased to facilitate head-down restricted positioning. 

Talk to your eye doctor if you'd like more information on macular pucker.

The lacrimal gland is responsible for producing the watery component of our tear film. Many factors, such as medication, infections, or autoimmune diseases, can reduce its function. Thus, a complete drug and medical history is necessary to understand a patient's dry eye and the health of their lacrimal gland.

The Meibomian glands produce an oil-like substance that coats the watery layer of our tear film to prevent it from evaporating. As we age, these glands may secrete a thicker product, become blocked or dysfunctional, and we become more sensitive to wind and air conditioning. Strategies to improve Meibomian gland secretion may involve heat to melt the thickened oil and massage to express it onto the ocular surface.

Treating dry eye may require reviewing medications, increasing lacrimal gland secretion with drops, treating systemic medical conditions, helping the Meibomian glands, or a combination of these approaches.

If you require more information about laser refractive procedures, please consult your local optician or Collaboration: Ideally, optometrists and ophthalmologists work together as a partnership. Optometrists are often the first line of screening for eye diseases and manage vision correction. Ophthalmologists, with their specialized medical training, diagnose, treat, and manage medical or surgical eye conditions. This collaboration allows patients to receive comprehensive eye care.

    Very frustrating office and doctor to deal with. Dr. Ko seems to have her head in the clouds all the time and doesn’t know what’s going on half the time. Only cares about the money she is making off her patients. Do not accept a referral to her. Look elsewhere.

    My Experience with Dr. Ko was extremely positive and very professional. Before attending her office, I read a number of very negative reviews but decided to make an appointment because my Optometrist strongly recommended her and I have good respect for my Optometrist. The negative reviews just baffle me. Dr. Ko, other professionals in her office including her front office staff are efficient, personable, professional and communicate extremely well. I would very definitely recommend Dr. Ko to anyone in search of an Ophthalmologist. Ron & Marla Rayner

    The clinic called us even though the doctor was not available. We had asked to cancel the appointment but they refused and told us that doctor wasn't available after reaching clinic. They are in a hurry to get surgery done.

    Prior to my daughter’s appointment, I searched online to see Dr. Ko’s reviews and they were not good. After having our appointment I felt I needed to rate her and give her 5 stars. She was personable and dealt with my 6 month old daughter with great care and attention. She explained everything in terms we could understand and we left feeling confident we had the best level of service.

    Very insensitive and terrible bed side manner. My daughter and I both left her office incredibly upset and feeling very confused and concerned. I ensured that my daughter saw a new doctor but 2 years later my daughter still talks about the terrible experience.
