Wednesday, January 14, 2009Eye Anatomy and Refractive Errors
Today, more than 3 million corneal refractive procedures - or corrective eye surgeries - are performed worldwide each year. Presently, more than 100 million patients wear contact lenses for correction of their refractive errors. Recent advances in refractive surgery are designed to permanently reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eye wear in order to see objects clearly. However, there are many more people wearing contact lenses that need to be replaced and used in conjunction with cleaning and preserving solutions, than those opting for the convenience and precision of corrective eye surgery. Why is that? Perhaps the answer lies in having better information on the corrective eye surgery itself. To better understand refractive surgeries, one should understand first how a perfectly normal eye (20/20) focuses light and the different types of refractive errors.

Friday, January 9, 2009Information on Wavefront LASIK Technology
 Emerging Corrective Eye Techniques and Technology continues to develop better ways of restoring vision to those who suffer from vision loss or impairment. One of those emerging technologies is 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.

Monday, January 5, 2009Who Can Have 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.

Monday, December 8, 2008How Does the IntraLase Method Work?
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.  The New York Times Online has created an interactive graphic entitled, "Refining Vision Surgery for a Sharper Focus," which offers an extraordinary understanding of the procedure and how it works.Thanks for visiting Eye Surgery USA!
