Monday, June 29, 2009Quality Eye Care Guidelines - Los Angeles Corrective Eye Surgeon Dr. Robert Maloney
A few Important tips from LASIK Eye Correction Surgeon Robert K. Maloney, MD of Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Maloney reminds those seeking eye correction surgery not to be fooled by fancy advertisements about a particular laser center. It's important to choose the doctor and not the laser center. Finding out which doctor will perform the actual procedure should be a priority, along with discovering the doctor's qualifications. The doctor should have at least 5,000 LASIK surgeries under his or her belt. What a doctor doesn't know, can and will hurt you. It's also important that you know the doctor's surgery complication rates. Dr. Maloney stresses that if they don't tell you, it's time to find another doctor. Top surgeons have a 3 in 1,000 complication rate. Read more tips from Dr. Maloney at Eye Surgery USA.

Thursday, June 25, 2009Regular Eye Exams A Must - Eye Surgery USA's Ask An Expert
Eye Doctors are used to hearing, "I can see clearly - why do I need an eye exam?" You might be surprised at the answer. A complete eye exam is more than just updating your prescription for glasses or contacts. Your eye examination by an ophthalmologist consists of a series of tests to assess the overall health of your eyes. In the check-up, your doctor checks for eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetes, hypertension, retinal detachments, etc.* As always, regular check-ups are the best way to ensure healthy eyes, so be sure to see your Eye Doctor regularly.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009Is LASIK Eye Surgery Painful? Orange County Laser Eye Surgeon Dr. Mark Schneider says NO!For those considering LASIK Corrective Eye Surgery, a typical concern is whether or not the surgery actually hurts. They are your eyes, after all. Orange County Laser Eye Surgeon, Dr. Mark Schneider's response to the question is: There is no pain during any of the laser vision correction procedures since anesthetic drops numb the eyes. A relaxation pill is also given prior to the procedure to help relieve anxiety. The only discomfort that may be experienced is a slight pressure sensation lasting about 20 seconds, while the Intralase laser creates the corneal flap. After LASIK you might experience slight irritation, a burning sensation, or increased tearing for 2 to 4 hours. We encourage our patients to rest or sleep during this period of time. If needed, an over the counter pain reliever should be all that is needed to relieve this discomfort. In some cases, PRK patients may experience more post-operative discomfort for 3 to 5 days following the procedure, but this should not be characterized as pain.

Thursday, June 18, 2009Information on Conductive Keratoplasty
Conductive Keratoplasty uses radio waves, instead of a laser or scalpel, to reshape the cornea and bring near vision back into focus. CK is performed using a small probe, thinner than a strand of human hair, that releases radio waves. The probe is applied in a circular pattern on the outer cornea to shrink small areas of collagen. This circular shrinkage pattern creates a constrictive band (like the tightening of a belt), increasing overall curvature of the cornea. The procedure, which takes less than three minutes, is done in-office with only topical anesthesia (eye drops). Information provided by Boston Eye Surgeon, Dr. Ernest W. Kornmehl Labels: CK, Conductive Keratoplasty
Wednesday, June 17, 2009Are you a candidate for Epi-LASIK?
Epi-LASIK is not for everyone, but many surgeons consider it a better option for some patients who will probably not do so well with LASIK. These include people who have thin corneas, with not enough tissue for a good LASIK flap. For those with professions or hobbies that have an increased chance of being hit in the eye may find Epi-LASIK safer than LASIK because there's no risk of the flap being dislodged.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009Eye Surgery USA FAQ: What is PRK - Photorefractive Karatectomy?
Before all the commotion and popularity of LASIK there was another procedure known as PRK or Photorefractive Keratectomy. Although it is an older and outdated procedure, it is still favored by many surgeons to treat specific conditions that traditional LASIK is not suited for like like patients with thin corneas or larger pupils. Although the FDA approved the first PRK laser in the United States in 1995, the PRK laser was developed in the 80's and has been in use in other countries. PRK can correct vision for both nearsighted and farsighted people. Nearsightedness is corrected by flattening the steepness in the cornea whereas farsightedness requires the steeper cornea. PRK can also address astigmatism simply by smoothing our the oblong shape of the cornea into a normal one. For more information on PRK visit Eye Surgery USA now!

Tuesday, June 2, 2009Cost of LASIK?
 A big factor in deciding whether or not you get LASIK could be the price. Although there is no standard, it's not like a product with an MSRP or a list price, there does seem to be a trend in how much LASIK should be.On average, LASIK procedures cost about $1,350 per eye. Some specials may advertise $999 per eye, or even $1000 off of a procedure. And there are even reports of specials as low as $299 per eye. But people should be weary about an advertisement that goes far lower than the "going rate." What it all comes down to is the doctor and the procedure performed. Doctors with more experience will charge as high as $3,000 per eye, but with that price you get the peace of mind that the surgeon is experienced with all different types of procedures and thousands of surgeries. Also keep in mind that regular LASIK costs less than custom or Wavefront LASIK and some of the other procedures involve more mechanical instruments and precision handling. Some clinics also charge acuity plans that will cover later surgeries if need be. To be safe, bid with the idea of "Not Too Much, Not Too Little" in mind. Just because a doctor charges $2,900 an eye doesn't mean he's the best doctor and paying too little may mean you're getting an inexperienced doctor that may end in bad results. The best way to find your best deal is to look for yourself. Use Eye Surgery USA to do the research to find the best corrective eye surgeons in your area.
