What are the main advantages of iLASIK over other procedures, and can I still play contact sports after the operation?
iLASIK falls into the category of LASIK surgery which is performed using the IntraLase iFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser to cut a corneal flap and Star S4 IR Excimer Laser to reshape the cornea, thus correcting refractive errors. Patients with had undergone iLASIK (or LASIK surgeries in general) should only participate in rugged or contact sports with caution. This is because there is still a risk of possible corneal flap complications especially when you engage in sporting activities, such as flap-dislodgement, flap wrinkles, etc.
For long standing cystic acne, what are my treatment options if even Accutane (Isotretinoin) fails to result in any improvement?
Hi, It is highly unlikely that isotretinoin will fail to result in any improvement in cystic acne if adequate dosing is used. A higher dose of 0. 5-1mg/kg/day may be needed to suppress more recalcitrant cystic acne. Sometimes it may take up to 6 months before the inflammatory acne can be fully controlled. At the same time, complications of gram-negative folliculitis requiring the use of appropriate oral antibiotics need to considered. Adjuvant treatment such as intralesional steroids and hormonal therapy (in females) may give additional benefits.
