Thursday, March 26, 2009Vision Correction without a Blade?
You've heard about the revolutionary vision correction surgery that doesn't involve the use of a blade? Blade-less LASIK It's safe, convenient and very popular. The idea of a blade "cutting into" the eye has been a huge fear for many people who have considered LASIK and may have also been the reason for people to not go through with the procedure. The truth is that, although LASIK is a procedure that uses a laser to correct vision, the procedure still requires a blade called a microkeratome to cut a hole in your cornea so the laser can pass through and make the correction. Think of it as a scalpel for the eye. With IntraLase, there's no blade cutting the eye to make the corneal flap, instead just like a laser used to make corrections to the inner cornea, a laser is used to cut the flap on the outer cornea.

Monday, March 16, 2009What Is LASIK Surgery?
Many people who are tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses seek the help of refractive surgeons. Refractive surgery improves vision by correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. A high percentage of patients enjoy 20/20 vision or better after their procedure. Common refractive procedures include LASIK, PRK, LASEK, refractive lensectomy (clear lens replacement or CLR), INTACS, CK, AK and ICL. LASIK stands for laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis. During the procedure, a thin flap is created on the cornea using a microkeratome or a femtosecond laser. This flap is then lifted, and an excimer laser reshapes corneal tissue to alter the way light enters the eye. The flap is then replaced. The entire procedure takes only 15-30 minutes per eye. Recovery time is also short, and improvement in vision can be seen within a day. Vision often continues to improve and stabilize for a few weeks. Answer provided by William L.

Friday, March 13, 2009Information on Wavefront LASIK
 Wavefront LASIK reshapes the cornea by using three-dimensional measurements of how your eye processes images to guide the laser. This provides a precise and individualized vision experience that would be otherwise impossible to achieve with traditional LASIK.The advantage of Wavefront LASIK is that it offers a higher quality of vision and not just a measure of how much you can see. On top of being able to achieve 20/20 or better vision, there is a reduced chance of losing visual quality such as contrast sensitivity, vision at night and distorted vision effects such as halos and glares.

Thursday, March 12, 2009Are Computer Screens Bad for My Eyes?
Can looking at computer screens damage my eyes?
No. While complaints of eye fatigue and discomfort are common among computer users, these symptoms are not caused by the computer screen itself. Computer screens give off little or no harmful radiation (such as x-rays or UV rays). All levels of radiation from computer screens are below levels that can cause eye damage such as cataracts. Can looking at a computer screen cause eyestrain? Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing. You may also have symptoms of eyestrain if you need glasses or a change in your glasses. What can I do to prevent eyestrain? You can help prevent eyestrain by making changes to your computer workspace and by visiting your eye doctor. Here are a few suggestions on how to make your workspace more comfortable:

Tuesday, March 3, 2009Advanced Surface Ablation
Advanced Surface Ablation is a relatively new laser vision procedure that has additional safety features over LASIK making it an ideal alternative for some patients. Instead of cutting a flap on the front of the cornea, the surface skin cells (epithelium) are loosened with a diluted alcohol solution and removed. The corneal surface is then treated with the laser and covered with a bandage contact lens. ASA removes tissue within the cornea to treat low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. For more information on ASA, please visit Eye Surgery USA!
