Considering LASIK eye surgery? The LASIK Vision Institute claims that they have done over half a million procedures to date, and almost everyone knows someone who has had the laser eye surgery. The surgery can especially help if you have astigmatism and cannot wear contacts, or have to have custom eyeglasses. However, being optimistic about the results does not make the possible complications disappear. As with any surgery–especially new surgeries with no long-term data–there are complications.

Reliable Information Source

Before making the decision to go through a LASIK eye surgery, you should research and understand the problems that can occur and the procedure. There are many ways to do this, including going on-line or calling your doctor. Records of bad LASIK eye surgery and studies of surgical vision correction are easily available and may help you to make the decision.

Additional information sources, such as brochures or websites, may provide very different stories and they are not so reliable. The comments in promotional material are chosen to be very positive and the negative comments may be chosen in order to keep somebody from thinking about the procedure.

If you really want some un-biased, complete information (as well as have an idea of which doctor to go to–or not go to), ask around and speak with friends, co-workers, or family that have had the surgery. Just going to the doctor may result in information about the procedure, but it may not be enough. Doctors may downplay the complications because they are interested in the money (or other perks) they receive. If your doctor downplays the complications, and doesn’t explain the procedure and possible risks to your satisfaction, GET A NEW DOCTOR!

What Can Go Wrong?

The consequences of a bad LASIK eye surgery can be very serious, devastating, and difficult to live with. One of the most serious consequences is the complete loss of eye sight. One wrong move made by the doctor and or faulty equipment can leave you with worse vision than when you arrived at the doctor’s office. Also, infection or other post-operative complications can lead to loss of eye sight.

One of the most important phrases in our consumer culture is “Let the Buyer beware!”. No where is this more important than in medical procedures. Informing yourself, reliable sources such as health organization, family, friends, and doctors, about the safety of the procedure before making the decision is a smart idea.

Just doing a little research–even just asking how many procedures done by the doctor, how many of those procedures were successful and how many had complications—may keep you from turning something that is just inconvenient (such as wearing glasses or contacts) to something that is life-long. While most complications associated with LASIK eye surgery are just minor annoyances, becoming permanently disabled may be more than a simple minor annoyance.

There comes a time in everyone’s life that vision correction becomes a necessity. For some it is early in life, but for many glasses are not needed until later in life. Some of us are pretty good at fooling our friends into thinking we are younger than we actually are, unfortunately there is no fooling mother nature when it comes to eyes.

Many people will first go through a period of denial, they never needed glasses before and they sure don’t need them now. This is the time when your eye care provider will put on their psychiatrist hat and try to phrase it ever so gently; that your eyes are growing up. This is also the time when loved ones are needed for support. As the wife, husband, friend, daughter, brother, or son, it is your job to watch for these signs and take action when appropriate.

7 Signs Your Beloved May Be Ready For Reading Glasses

1. When out to dinner, they glance over the menu. You ask, "What looks good to you?" They reply with "It all looks delicious, but I want to hear the specials".
2. They have a new found interest in lighting, and rearranging the lights around the sofa.
3. When you ask for the time, they take a look at their watch and reply with "oh boy, look at the time, it’s getting late"
4. When they pick up reading material, they first sit up straight, then cock their head, and extend their arms, just a tad…
5. They recently switched to only buy hardcover books
6. They have been telling people they are 38 years old for the last five years
7. The last time they made the microwave popcorn it came out burnt. When asked what happened, they replied that the popcorn button looks exactly the same as the potato button.

If 2 or more of the above symptoms hit home, you may need to purchase your loved one a pair of readers and tactfully leave them next to their reading material.

Remember that this could be touchy area, as this is probably the very first pair of eyeglasses they ever needed. Choose a low power, a +1.00 reader is perfect for the new wearer. Also pick a style that is fun. Not too fun, nobody wants to be laughed at. Pick out a designer style that they are sure to love. Remember, they don’t have to look like the canonical reading glasses we all associate with our grandparents.

Readers today are fun and fashionable. Most reading glass wearers end up loving the fact that such a necessary device is also a great fashion accessory. Once your loved one accepts the fact that seeing is easier with vision correction, they will always remember you as the one who introduced them to this wonderful new world of clarity.

Suzanne Hughes of http://www.readinstyle.com is a style expert and can help your find the perfect pair of reading glasses for your loved one. You will also find fabulous reading sunglasses and accessories that are sure to make you envious if you don’t wear reading glasses yet.

What LASIK does

LASIK surgery uses a cool ultraviolet laser (called an excimer laser) to correct the shape of the cornea. This is the front surface of our eye, through which light rays pass on their way to the retina. They pass through the lens behind the cornea, and form a tiny image on the retina, which is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve.

Imperfect corneal shape

When the cornea is not perfectly shaped, the light rays bend at the wrong angle. Then they don’t focus on the retina, but in front of it or behind it. This creates near- and far-sightedness respectively.

And when the cornea has little irregularities in its shape, the light rays come to the retina out of focus in certain areas, so that our vision has blurriness in different parts.

LASIK uses the excimer laser to vaporize tiny pieces of corneal tissue, so as to correct the corneal shape and surface. Then the light rays focus sharply on the retina and we see clearly.

Corneal flap

Before directing the laser beam on to the cornea to reshape it, the eye surgeon cuts a tiny flap on the corneal surface and bends it back to expose underlying tissue. The laser works on that tissue and the flap is replaced, where it heals itself in a few days.

Not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK

If your corneas are too thin or too flat, LASIK is not a good answer.

Corneas too thin

In LASIK, the little flap is cut with a device called a microkeratome. If your corneas are too thin, the eye surgeon may not be able to cut a good flap.

· In cutting it as thin as he can, he may inadvertently form it with a hole in it, so that some of what should be folded-back flap is still part of the cornea and will block the laser

· Alternatively, he may by mistake detach it altogether rather than folding it back. Then it may not heal as well.

· Or he may cut it too small in diameter for the laser to have enough area to work on.

Corneas too flat

The purpose of LASIK surgery is to remove tiny pieces of corneal tissue to improve vision. But if the cornea is too flat, removing more tissue will make it even flatter, and this won’t improve vision. So people with extra flat corneas are not good candidates for LASIK surgery.

LASEK (E-LASIK)

LASEK (Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis) uses a different tool to create the tiny flap. It’s called a trephine and has an even finer blade.

· The eye surgeon uses the trephine to partly create the flap

· Then he covers the eye with a mild alcohol solution for a half-minute or so to loosen the flap’s edges

· Finally, he uses a tiny hoe-like tool to lift the flap’s edges and fold it back out of the way The LASEK procedure is then like traditional LASIK, using the excimer laser to remodel corneal tissue, and the flap is carefully replaced.

Afterwards

The flap usually heals in a day or two and you may feel some eye irritation during this time. Many patients wear a “bandage” contact lens which holds the flap in place while it heals, but also allows oxygen to flow to the eye tissue.

After a week or so you’ll have your new vision. This is a longer time than after LASIK, when the results are immediately noticeable.

If you’re not a candidate for LASIK, you may do very well indeed with LASEK instead. Your eye surgeon will be able to explain why one procedure would be better for you than the other.

Epi-LASIK

In Epi-LASIK, the small flap is cut and excimer laser used to vaporize excess corneal tissue, as in LASIK and LASEK.

But in Epi-LASIK, a plastic, oscillating blade is used to create the flap, rather than the microkeratome or the finer-bladed trephine.

And instead of using an alcohol solution to loosen the flap’s edges before lifting it back, a very fine plastic blade is used, called an epithelial separator. Why?

Because in some cases, the alcohol solution can cause epithelial cells to die. An epithelium is a surface membrane, so in this context, it refers to the surface cells on the cornea. The eye must grow more epithelial cells around the flap’s edges to reintegrate it with the rest of the corneal surface.

Epi-LASIK results

As with LASEK, vision improvement occurs more slowly than it does after LASIK. For some, it’s evident after 3 or 4 days, and for others it’s not for 3 or 4 months.

But before Epi-LASIK, people with thin corneas were not able to have laser vision correction. Now they often can.

A quality eye surgeon is key in achieving excellent results from any laser eye surgery. Choose your surgeon carefully, asking lots of questions and considering not just the relative fees, but what you’ll receive for those fees.

Can eyesight really be improved? Well, MRI or magnetic resonance imaging coupled with the latest computer programs that map the human brain have been put to use to do research on the brain and how our eyes see. Though our eyes do ‘see’ what is around us, the images are sent to the brain and processed there. So sometimes, a glimpse of someone or something familiar, and though the eye does not see all of it, the brain recognizes the person or thing. So it is the brain that is the final decider on what you see.

Recognition of people and things begins soon after birth and is a process of associations. So what we experience and know influences how we see. Sight turns into perception only when we know something about what we are looking at. However, when the sight fails, especially if it is due to a condition like glaucoma, thanks to a decreasing ability to focus on the objects or people around, there is decreased interest as well. But the good news is that if you sharpen your powers of perception, it will help you ‘see’ better.

Let’s see what kind of exercises will help towards sharpening your perception. Before you begin any of them, however, do a bit of deep breathing. Through your nose, breathe in deeply right to your diaphragm or stomach. Then breathe out slowly through your mouth. Keep it slow and steady. Now begin.

Pick a building in your range of vision and observe it closely. Look carefully at the windows, the brickwork, the doors, the roof. In case you can see the number on the gate, look carefully at that as well. Make sure your eyes keep moving. Now do that to a friend. Look carefully at his face – every detail of his eyes, nose, ears, mouth. Look like you are memorizing his face so you can draw it from memory later. You can look at a tree and follow the same routine.

Remember to blink often as it’s a great way to lubricate the eyes. Open and close your eyes slowly. With eyes closed, move your head back and forth, opening your eyes slowly for just a moment then shutting them again. Try blinking one eye at a time.

Take a sheet of blank paper and with a black marker, draw a large E. Prop up the paper and first look long and hard at the lower bar, then move your gaze to the upper bar, then the vertical bar and finally the bar at the center. Now shut your eyes and picture the E in your mind. Now move back so the paper is 5 feet away from you. Gaze at it again, then blink. Do this slowly. Now keep moving back and looking at it till you cannot see the E anymore.

You need to stimulate the cells that are mainly responsible for the peripheral vision. To do this, you have to extend your arms and wiggle your fingers. Look at them so you can see the movement. If you can’t, bring them closer till you can see your fingers.

Now close your eyes and see a large circle in your mind’s eye. Imagine that the end of your nose has a pencil attached to it. Now, draw a line around the circle, try and make the circle into an oval by squeezing it and then draw around the oval. Then, try making it into a figure-8 and draw around it. Now, try and write your name if you can. Then, put a piece of paper on your nose and tape it on the bridge. Put both your index fingers in front of your eyes and turn them, one clockwise and the other anticlockwise. Follow the movements with your eyes.

Get yourself an eye chart – the ones they use to test eyes- and hang it up on a wall. Whatever you might be doing – reading or just sitting, look at the chart once in a while. Or, look out of the window at distant objects occasionally. When you are reading, stop at intervals and try and remember what the last word you read was. Think of the word, the way it looked – all black and then think of the white space around it and visualize that as well. Now look at the word once more. Just keep in mind that you should just look at it, not stare. Move your eyes around the word. This way, your eyes don’t get fixated on the page and do not get as tired.

What could also help is if you do a few exercises in order to relieve tension. Here are a few you can do. To relieve facial tension, yawn and massage your jaw. It doesn’t matter if you make a sound while yawning. Then, put your hands behind your ears and feel the muscle that goes from there to your neck and on to your shoulders. This is called the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Massage this twenty times. Now, rotate your shoulders, maybe ten times each one. Then move your head in a circular motion, clockwise, then anticlockwise ten times. This helps in minimizing the tension and in helping the circulation get better. Once the blood flow gets better, the optic nerve performs better too.

What is a laser? It’s a man-made light beam. There are many types and they’re named according to how they’re made, e.g.

· Gas lasers, such as the CO2 laser which is used in skin resurfacing

· Solid state lasers, such as the nd:YAG laser made with a ruby cylinder, which are the most powerful lasers, and

· Semiconductor lasers, which have less power and are used in laser printers, CD players, etc. Laser light is different from other kinds of light, such as headlights, flashlights, street lights, etc.

· It’s coherent – the light waves are parallel with each other and can travel far without spreading out like a flashlight

· It’s directional – because it’s coherent, it can be highly focused

· It’s monochromatic – it contains only one color, as opposed to white light which contains all colors. They can be within our visual range of color, infra-red, or ultra-violet

Lasers were first made in the 1950s, but not until the 1990s were they used for vision correction.

Excimer lasers

Excimer lasers are the type used by eye doctors. They’re a type of gas laser and their name is a contraction of “excited” and “dimer” (a “dimer” is a pseudo-molecule which gives off ultraviolet light when it’s in an excited state).

Excimers are non-thermal lasers. That means there’s no danger of any burn to the eye tissue. They’re used for PRK and LASIK procedures.

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) Treatment

PRK was developed in the early 1980s but was not done in the U.S. until the FDA approved it in 1995. It uses an excimer laser to correct lower-order aberrations – near- and far-sightedness and astigmatism. This procedure is short. You’re positioned beneath the laser and a retainer is placed over your eye to keep it open. Your eye doctor uses anesthetic eye drops so you’ll feel no pain. He’ll remove a tiny amount of tissue from the surface of the eye, the cornea, and the laser will correct the exposed tissue, smoothing it to correct your vision. Wavefront-guided LASIK The remarkable advance of Wavefront-guided LASIK is that it can correct not only the lower-order aberrations, but also the higher-order aberrations like halos, glare and night vision trouble. The laser itself is part of an integrated workstation which includes a highly adjustable patient chair along with the microscope, computer, and controls of all kinds for your eye doctor to operate with. Both the mapping and the correction are done by this system. Wavefront mapping

As you lie back in the workstation chair, the excimer laser first does the mapping work. The light wave is sent through your iris to the retina at the back of the eye, from which it bounces back to a sensor. It carries information with it, based on what happened to it as it traveled through the eye’s cornea (outer surface).

From this information, the system makes a 3-D map of your eyeball, which will show your eye doctor what needs to be corrected. The system translates this information into mathematical formulae which your eye doctor will program into the computer that controls the laser beam. Vision correction

As you continue to lie back in the patient chair, your doctor proceeds with the laser correction. To direct the laser to the tissue immediately below the cornea’s surface, he cuts a thin flap of tissue and bends it back. The laser then removes tiny pieces of tissue that were affecting your vision, modifying the shape of your cornea. The tiny flap is replaced and heals by itself. Laser and doctor work together The precision of the laser and the education and skill of the doctor make a formidable team that plays on your side. Whether you have PRK treatment or Wavefront-guided LASIK, choose an experienced eye doctor and you can then be sure that he’ll use the laser expertly.

Everyone who has had conjunctivitis (also known as pinkeye) has most likely wondered if there is an effective home remedy for pink eye. After all, it’s no fun waiting in line for the doctor and filling prescriptions when you have such an embarrassment on your face! With so many children in daycare or preschool, the general lack of cleanliness in our society, and the unhealthy lifestyle habits we live by, it’s no wonder pink eye is spread so easily. This article will explore why pink eye is such a persistent problem, and what we can do to prevent ourselves and our children from catching it.

Conjunctivitis is especially common in children because illnesses spread so quickly in daycares and schools. However, it’s not just a problem that children have to endure. Many adults catch it from their children or end up with pink eye in some way or another. It is quite an embarrassing and uncomfortable infection, so many people are interested in learning about avoiding the spread of infection, and even using a home remedy for pink eye.

The best way solution for pink eye is to avoid catching and spreading it. Pink eye is very contagious, so it’s sound advice to avoid infected persons, and avoid everyone if you have it yourself. Hand washing is mandatory. Make it a goal to wash your hands hourly if you feel you’re at risk, such as is the case when caring for an infected person or when you have a cold. Disinfecting commonly used surfaces and washing your bedding thoroughly will help, but there are other precautions you can take, which I’ll describe below.

Many people underestimate the importance of their diet and lifestyle. This careless attitude will lead to problems like pink eye (and worse) whether you like it or not. A healthy body is more resistant to infections and health issues than an unhealthy one. Exercising is a big help because it circulates oxygen, which ensures healthy tissues throughout your whole body. Improving your diet will also nourish your body, making conjunctivitis a rare occurrence.

The following foods are a great addition to any pink eye sufferer’s diet: cucumber, tofu, eggs, clams, and water chestnuts. These foods are especially beneficial to eye health. Chamomile however, can work miracles and is an easy home remedy for pink eye. I suggest buying some pure chamomile tea bags and brewing yourself some tea. When the tea bag has cooled place it upon your infected eye and watch your pink eye improve steadily over the next 4-5 days.

As you can see, conjunctivitis can be controlled more easily than commonly thought. With a little effort focused on cleanliness and health, pink eye is becoming less and less common in my household. It used to be a problem for myself and my family, but I now have the knowledge to make it disappear whenever I wish. You can learn more about my home remedy for pink eye that heals conjunctivitis in just 2 days by clicking here.

Most people who are either short sighted or long sighted are curious about laser eye surgery. Committing yourself to undergoing treatment is a big decision as it is an expensive procedure and will make permanent changes to your vision. It is important to have a realistic idea of what laser eye surgery is capable of achieving, as deciding to undergo the treatment without this understanding can potentially lead to disappointment with the results. When you have your initial consultation at the vision clinic the laser eye practitioner will explain the procedure and its outcome to you, but here is a brief outline of what you may be told.

Many people who have not properly looked into laser eye surgery believe it will give most patients 20/20 vision. This, unfortunately, is not the case. However, in around 90 percent of patients it can improve the vision significantly enough to give them many years of glasses and contact lenses free living. A normal side effect of laser eye surgery is seeing a halo effect around lights and experiencing poorer vision in low light levels. For many patients, this necessitates wearing glasses for driving at night, even if their daytime vision is extremely good.

If considering laser eye surgery it is also imperative to properly understand what ‘permanent results’ means in relation to the procedure. While the effects of laser eye surgery are irreversible there is, at present, no way of preventing the natural degeneration in sight that continues as you grow older so your ‘perfect’ vision will not last throughout your lifetime. Most patients, even those who have had extremely satisfying results from the procedure, require reading glasses by the time they reach the age of 45. However, it is important to remember that while ‘perfect vision’ may not be lasting many people do enjoy glasses free living for many years and, even when glasses become a necessity, their vision is greatly improved on what it would have been had they never undergone surgery.

What can be realistically be achieved with laser eye surgery is dependent on the individual’s sight. Those who have poorer vision are likely to receive greatly improved vision but perhaps not to the extent where they can completely do without either glasses or contact lenses. Many doctors will advise patients who are extremely short sighted (-8 or greater) or very long sighted (in excess of +2) against undergoing laser eye surgery as the results may be unsatisfactory.

Patients need to bear in mind that laser eye treatment is not flawless. While technological advances have made it a very meticulous procedure errors can occur. Therefore, even ‘good’ candidates for laser eye surgery may not receive the ‘perfect’ eyesight they were hoping for, as vision can be slightly under or over corrected by the procedure.

Although laser eye surgery cannot produce flawless vision, undergoing treatment with an open mind and realistic expectation of the end result means a majority of patients are extremely satisfied with their post-surgery vision. The novelty of not having to wear glasses all the time is, on its own, sufficient reason for most laser eye surgery patients to be pleased that they made the decision to undergo treatment.

Leanne has had many articles published on the topic of corrective laser eye surgery. http://www.lasereyesurgery.about-beauty.net

Although laser eye surgery can greatly enhance a person’s life, deciding to undergo the procedure can be quite daunting. It is normal to be nervous before undergoing any form of surgery, but in the case of laser eye surgery the fear can be increased as patients are conscious during the procedure and under normal circumstances most people would be unwilling to allow a laser beam near such a delicate area of their body. Although nothing is likely to completely calm pre-operative nerves, educating yourself about what happens during the procedure can help build your confidence.

During surgery, patients lie in a reclining chair directly beneath the laser. To allow the surgeon to operate the eye lids are fixed in place with a metal ring. While this is not uncomfortable in itself, being unable to blink can be a little disconcerting for the patient. The eye is thoroughly cleansed and drops are used to anaesthetise the area. From the start of preparation time to the conclusion of laser treatment generally takes around 15 minutes.

Lasik

In Lasik surgery, a small incision is made in the cornea to produce a small flap. This leads to vision loss for about 20 to 30 seconds. The laser – which is programmed before the operation starts – will then reshape the cornea. The procedure is not painful but can be quite unsettling due to the smell of burning that occurs when the laser comes into contact with the surface of the eye.

As complications can arise as a result of the incision, Lasik is considered the highest risk of the different forms of laser eye surgery, although it also has many advantages, for example a greatly improved recovery time. One of the problems which may arise during surgery is that the cornea may become detached. However, in most instances, the surgeon is able to reattach the cornea after treatment is complete.

Lasek

Lasek varies from Lasik in that no incision is made. Instead, after the eye area has been prepared for surgery an alcoholic solution is used to soften the epithelium, which is then folded to one side to allow the laser to reshape the cornea. Once the procedure is complete, this will be pushed back into place. A contact lens will be placed over the cornea to hold the epithelium in place. This will need to be worn for several days.

In a small number of cases PRK is used instead of Lasek, particularly if the patient has an unusually thin cornea or large pupils. The procedure is very similar, but an excimer laser removes a thin layer of cells from the surface of the cornea and the eye is then reshaped to allow better focusing. This is not painful, although PRK often experience more discomfort than those undergoing other forms of laser eye treatment. The protective layer of cells will grow back naturally in the weeks following surgery.

If you have concerns about laser eye surgery, or are anxious about what to expect, do not hesitate to contact the vision clinic. The staff will be happy to answer your enquiries and alleviate your fears.

When you make your graceful entry to a lot of optical shops, you will never miss out on big plastic bottles that are lined up on the racks. Those are actually contact lens solutions that will always be indispensable to people who are inserting a fragile piece right into their eyes. Since there is a need for daily maintenance, the liquid formulation will always play a big role in getting rid of any infections.

Today, a contact lens solution in a single container can be used for a whole lot of other systems such as cleansing, disinfecting and rinsing. The idea will be of huge benefit to your budget as you need not purchase an individual liquid formulation just to cleanse, disinfect and rinse your ocular aid. If you are not knowledgeable enough with the step- by-step process, you can always ask the doctor or read the back label of the carton.

An ocular aid is nothing without a contact lens solution. You must follow the guidelines that are being set in order to avoid the rise of dilemmas. It was recently reported that there was a grave fungal infection in the eye which appeared to be associated with a liquid formulation manufactured by Bausch and Lomb’s ReNu with MoistureLoc.

Contact lens solution is beyond the cleansing, disinfecting and rinsing because it can be also be a good source for protein removal. However, physicians suggest that the item be apart from the liquid formulation. It is recommended for those who are wearing an ocular aid for a year without any replacements. Albeit, when the fragile piece inserted right into your eyes is of disposable kind, meaning you change after three months or even less, there is no need.

Aside from being able to cleanse, disinfect and rinse, the liquid formulation can also be utilized as lubricant. When you feel like your eye is itchy and dry, do not hesitate to put in about two droplets. There are also cases of people developing allergies in which cases they should switch to another brand marked with “preservative- free.” However, always consult a doctor doctor first before doing any further action because without their advice, it may only complicate the blurry situation.
