Tuesday, September 29, 2009The Development of LASIK Surgery
When conventional LASIK was first developed in the 1990's, it was capable of delivering good enough vision for most people to pass a driver's exam without corrective lenses (20/40). Many of these people were fortunate enough to get an exceptional result of 20/20, but the baseline expectation was 20/40. Technological advances in wavefront guided LASIK and femtosecond laser flap creation have raised the bar so that 20/20 is now the baseline expectation and 20/16 or better is the goal.

Friday, September 25, 2009Eyesight Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction
Eyesight Facts and FictionIt's important to know fact from fiction when it comes to your eyesight and how to prevent eye problems. Knowing how to take good care of your eyes is the first step to protecting your sight for a lifetime. Here are some common myths, courtesy of the Prevent Blindness America organization, that most people assume are truths. Myth: Failure to use proper glasses will hurt your eyes. Fact: This statement does have some truth for a small number of people. Some children have eye problems that can be corrected, and it is important that they wear their glasses. While corrective glasses or contacts are needed to improve eyesight, using your eyes with or without glasses will not damage them further. Myth: Reading in dim light can damage your eyes. Fact: Reading in dim light can cause eye fatigue, but it will not hurt your eyes. Myth: Eating carrots will improve your vision. Fact: While it is true that carrots are high in Vitamin A, which is an essential vitamin for sight, only a small amount is necessary for good vision. Myth: There's nothing you can do about preventing sight loss. Fact: Regular eye exams and proper safety eyewear can save your sight. Myth: An eye exam is only necessary if you're having problems. Fact: Everyone should follow a proper eye health program that includes a regular eye exam, whether or not they're having any noticeable signs of problems. This article is courtesy of Prevent Blindness America, a national non-profit organization committed to fighting blindness and saving sight. Thanks for visiting Eye Surgeon USA!

Friday, September 18, 2009IntraLase LASIK Eye Correction Surgery
The IntraLase Method uses tiny, rapid pulses of laser light to create your corneal flap instead of using a metal blade during the first step of LASIK. Each pulse of light passes through the top layers of your cornea and forms a microscopic bubble at a specific depth and position within your eye that is determined by the doctor. The IntraLase laser moves back and forth across your eye, creating a uniform layer of bubbles just beneath your corneal surface. Just prior to applying laser vision correction, the doctor creates your corneal flap by gently separating the tissue where these bubbles have formed. The corneal flap is then folded back so the doctor can perform the second step of your LASIK treatment. For more information on LASIK and the IntraLase Method, please check out the resources available at Eye Surgery USA. Labels: Blade-Less LASIK, IntraLase

Thursday, September 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. The margin of safety with ASA may be greater than that with LASIK as the need for a microkeratome is eliminated, so there's no risk of flap complications. You do not need to worry about rubbing your eye or bumping it after surgery and having the LASIK flap slip or wrinkle, because there is no flap. The nerve endings that control tear secretion are not cut, so there is less of a problem with dry eye after surgery. ASA removes tissue within the cornea to treat low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Read more about ASA by visiting Dr. Ritacca on Eye Surgery USA.
