Laser Eye Surgery – Your Online Guide To The Latest Lasik Eye Surgery Techniques

EyeSurgeryPlace — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:20:15 +0000

If your eyes are the window to your soul then doesn’t it make sense to maintain their appearance and keep them looking like the grand entrance way they should be. Eye surgery techniques have improved immensely during the last few years with more and more people taking the opportunity to improve both their vision and appearance.

Lasik eye surgery has been a godsend for people wanting improved vision. In Lasik eye surgery, the precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue; reshaping of the cornea and giving it renewed focusing power, has literally turned eye surgery “on it’s head.”

Where once glasses or contact lenses compensated for the eye’s imperfections, now people are turning to Lasik eye surgery. Patients with conditions such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia or combinations of the aforementioned, have become aware of the success rate of Lasik eye surgery and are going “under the laser.”

Laser Eye Surgery Procedures

Lasik is not the only laser eye surgery available to people. Non-laser refractive procedures are also available. This involves inserting artificial lenses into the eye; the resultant low heat radio waves reshape the eye.

The average cost of Lasik eye surgery has steadily risen in the last few years mainly due to the popularity of the procedure. The cost however, has not deterred people from going under the surgeon’s laser.

Cataract eye surgery is another procedure with an extremely high success rate; estimates have it at about 99%. Cataracts can only be removed through surgery. No medications or eye drops will make cataracts disappear.

Cosmetic Eye Surgery – Maintaining A Youthful Appearance

It’s not just vision improvement people are after. Let’s face it, age catches up with all of us but in the 21st. century, eye lift plastic surgery techniques have become so advanced that ending up on the surgeon’s table is no longer a tough decision for patients.

Baby boomers, responsible for a myriad of trends during the last 50 years, are wanting to stay looking young and cosmetic eye surgery, eye lift plastic surgery, eye lift surgery…call it what you like; these forms of appearance enhancing procedures are now an attractive option for people despite the costs and risks involved.

Laser Eye Surgery & Lasik Risks

As with any type of surgery there are risks involved and laser eye surgery is no different. However, the benefits far outweigh the risks which are minimal. By going through proper pre-screening and being truthful with your surgeon you can cut down risk significantly. Here’s a shortlist of the complications which can occur:

- A few patients experience halos, glare or double vision after surgery, which serious night vision problems.

- under treatment or over treatment

- severe dry eye syndrome

- another laser eye surgery risk is for results to decrease over time, especially in patients with farsighted vision.

Steps To Ensure Safe Laser Eye Surgery

EyeSurgeryPlace — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:53:23 +0000

In the modern world, laser eye surgery is one of most widely performed procedures every year. Since it was first performed in the United States in 1991, more and more people looking to rid themselves of expensive and inconvenient eyeglasses and contact lenses, have turned to corrective eye surgery to achieve their goals.

Today, more than one million people in the U.S. alone have undergone the procedure – most with no complications and amazing success. In fact, only 3-6% of those who have undergone the procedure have reported any long term complications associated with it, making safe laser eye surgery what most people have come to expect. But in order to really ensure your safety when it comes to laser eye surgery it is imperative to act as an advocate for yourself and take the steps necessary to protect your health and your eyesight.

Laser eye surgery utilizes laser technology to resurface the cornea – the thin, transparent covering of the eye. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the top layer of the cornea in order to create a flap. Once the flap is folded back the mid-section of the cornea is revealed and the surgeon can then use a low-powered laser to resurface the cornea – clearing the way in which light is refracted in our eye and thus improving vision.

The patient’s eye is numbed the entire time during the procedure and most who have undergone laser eye surgery report little to no pain associated with the procedure. Nonetheless, there is risk associated with every surgery. And when it comes to laser technology used in and around the eye, it is absolutely imperative to ensure that you are working with skilled and reputable surgeons and a surgery center that is committed to patient care through safe laser eye surgery.

The burden of finding this information is up to you – the patient – but is well-worth the time it will take to ensure a positive experience. Begin your search for safe laser eye surgery by researching the laser eye surgery centers in and around your area. Talk to friends and family who have undergone the procedure to assess their experience; and get recommendations from your general eye doctor and even your primary care physician. Recommendations are key to narrowing your search for a reputable surgery center.

Once you have narrowed your search through recommendations it is crucial that you conduct your own research by examining each surgery center’s history, surgical and patient care philosophy, reputation in the industry, and financial options that will be available to you. Follow-up this research by visiting the surgery centers yourself to assess cleanliness of the facility, professionalism of the office and medical support staff, and commitment to safe laser eye surgery through the level of technology being used.

Finally, meet with the surgeon who would perform your procedure to determine his/her experience and strategy for patient care and safety procedures. Any surgeon in which you are interested should perform laser eye surgery on a daily basis and have an overall dedication to safe laser eye surgery and successful results.

PreOp® Patient Education Opthamology: PRK Laser Eye Surgery

EyeSurgeryPlace — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:52:12 +0000

www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Photorefractive Keratectomy – or PRK Laser surgery – to correct a vision problem. But what does that actually mean? The human eye is constructed like a camera …with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film. In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina. Three of these problems, myopia – or nearsightedness; hyperopia – or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery. Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina – instead of on the retina itself. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved, causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all. In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea …allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the …

Lasik Eye Surgery in 6 Minutes

EyeSurgeryPlace — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:43:15 +0000

This is the Science Friday (National Public Radio) video about LASIK eye surgery. The funny thing about this video is that the narrator, who is probably also the producer, is a lot more nervous about LASIK laser vision correction than the patient himself. He is cool as a cucumber, I had LASIK myself, didn’t think it was a big deal and now I see fantastic. The video features Steven Vale, MD, medical director of Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Dr. Vale is one of the most well-respected and experienced Lasik surgeons in the world. Dr. Vale has performed over 21000 laser vision correction surgeries. Dr. Vale’s ability and experience really comes out in this otherwise realistic and detailed glimpse at the world of laser vision correction surgery.
