Thursday, August 27, 2009Ophthalmologist and Optometrist: What's the difference?
Both ophthalmologists and optometrists are commonly referred to as "eye doctors", however there are differences between the two. Doctors of Optometry complete four years of post-graduate optometry school. Optometrists examine eyes for vision and health problems, prescribe glasses, and fit contact lenses. They also prescribe many ophthalmic medications and often participate in pre and post-operative care. Ophthalmologists, on the other hand, attend medical school and have acquired a medical degree. Ophthalmologists are trained to provide a full spectrum of eye care, from prescribing glasses and contact lenses to complex and delicate eye surgery for specific conditions and diseases. In addition to medical school, every ophthalmologist completes a one-year internship and must spend a minimum of three years in residency.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009CK (Conductive Keratoplasty) - Say Goodbye to Bi-Focals
 It happens to everyone sooner or later:You can't read a book unless you hold it at arm's length. You have to ask a friend to help you peruse a menu. Oliver Besnoin noticed his vision was headed south the day the stock market data he obsessively watches scroll across his computer screen was simply too small to read. Even so, he balked at wearing bifocals. "I was not ready for that. That's not me," says the 47-year-old former fashion model, who races motorcycles in his spare time. CK is not cheap-it costs up to $2,500 and is not covered by insurance. Unlike LASIK, which uses a laser to slice and reshape the cornea, CK doesn't involve cutting (see box). Instead, a tiny probe applies radio waves in a circular pattern just below the surface of the eye. The radio waves act like a belt reshaping the cornea into a perfect circle, improving its contour and allowing light to focus properly on the back of the eye.

Monday, August 17, 2009Bladeless LASIK Information at Eye Surgery USA
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.

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.
