Surgical menopause is a result of a hysterectomy, oophorectomy (removal of ovaries,) and other pelvic surgeries. Ablations, procedures to remove the lining of the uterus, can mimic menopause by stopping menstrual periods.
(AP)  Tiger Woods was once so nearsighted he said he would be considered legally blind without glasses or contacts. He had Lasik surgery in October 1999 after the Ryder Cup, won the Disney Classic in his first tournament back and has done fairly well since.He realized this spring it was time to do it again.My vision started slipping, Woods said after The Players Championship.hat's pretty good.. Just as in 1999, Woods won his first tournament after eye surgery when he captured the Wachovia Championship by two shots. But that's where the similarity ends. His victory at Disney in 1999 was the second of six consecutive PGA Tour victories.
NEW! Added 5/11/2015. Below are 3 photos of the same eye of a patient who underwent two LASIK procedures 10 - 12 years ago. After the 2nd LASIK surgery the patient experienced a retinal detachment and resulting total blindness in this eye.In the Visante OCT image (first image) you can see that the LASIK flap has detached from the cornea.he injury resulted in partial displacement of the LASIK flap. The patient developed diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) the day after the flap was repositioned. By day 4, visual acuity diminished to 20/60. By day 9, the clinical evidence of the DLK had resolved, and by day 15, uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20.
