Laser Eye Surgery

Yes, but only after a given recovery period... Kindly see the related link 'Lasik Surgery Clinic' for this.

"A good TLC Lasik candidate must be at least 18 years old, demonstrating through eye exam no diseases of the eyes, and in good health in all other areas."

The need for bifocals is from aging of the lens within the eye. The lens loses its flexibility with age and can no longer change shape to focus at objects at various distances. LASIK can focus the eyes clearly to any single distance, but without the help of the lens, there can no longer be clear distance and near vision for patients over the age of 50.

One option that is popular is called monovision. This is the process either with contact lenses or with LASIK where one eye is focused for distance, and the other is focused for near. The brain puts these images together and uses whatever is clearest at a given distance. Although this works well for many people, some are troubled by the difference between the eyes and prefer a clear image with both. For these people reading glasses are still required after LASIK if they needed reading glasses before their LASIK.

Some may also benefit from what is called "modified monovision" which is when one eye is partially corrected for near, giving good distance and intermediate vision and decent near vision.

It is important to try these options with glasses or contact lenses before having LASIK, although many patients learn to like this type of vision over a longer period of time. It is not a good option for those who need excellent distance vision in both eyes at all times.

Unless its LSD eye drops, no

Loss of vision is possible with these procedures, but this complication is extremely rare.

Yes, it is possible that eye lasik surgery has side effects. Some of these side effects are glare, halos with night vision, and dry eyes. For the most part, those side effects will disappear within few days.

Other examination procedures include corneal mapping, a keratometer reading to determine the curvature of the central part of the cornea, and a slit lamp exam to determine any damage to the cornea and evidence of glaucoma and cataracts.

The cost of a laser eye operation will vary on several conditions, where one has it done and is it a single eye or both, the average prices will vary between å£595 per eye at Optical Express

The white fluid in the uterus is called the cervical fluid. It changes throughout the menstrual cycle and is a primary fertility sign.

In order to find an estimate fo lasik surgery you should contact the nearest surgeon and go in for a consultation. If you live in an area with more than one center be sure to visit each one to find one you are comfortable with and that is most affordable.

Some patients will be required to instill eye drops for a number of weeks after surgery to prevent infection, pain, and to lessen inflammation. Eye drops also are used to lower intraocular pressure.

A renal scan with lasik is a mis spelling of a renal scan with lasix, a diuretic, used to increase renal function.

Patients usually have their first postoperative visit the day after the eye surgery. Subsequent exams are commonly scheduled at one, three, and six to eight weeks following surgery.

It is fairly worth it unless you suffer complications from the surgery. It is a great way to correct eyesight, but like any surgery, there are risks that you must take.

If you qualify for it, then yes. You are going to get assessed by a professional prior to the surgery itself. Therefore are different types of surgery depending on the condition you have. As the previous contributor said, you may suffer complications, but the risk is rather low, only a few percent of patients suffer from them. Upon successful surgery you can stay glasses-free up to your forties, which can be pretty worth it.

Disability insurance can be for a variety of reasons and most are unrelated to your ability to have LASIK eye surgery. If you are visually disabled then it is unlikely that LASIK would be a suitable treatment.

For both LASIK and PRK, the patient's eye is numbed with anesthetic drops. No injections are necessary. The patient is awake and relaxed during the procedure.

LASIK surgery modifies the corneal stroma to change the refractive error of the eye. The cornea has five layers, the stroma being the structural layer of the cornea or front clear window of the eye. The outer covering is the epithelium, or skin of the eye which is over a thickened portion of the stroma called Bowman's layer which is very thin. Beneath these layers is the stroma which makes up most of the cornea by mass. LASIK is usually confined to the outer portion of the stroma. The inner layers are Descemet's membrane, and finally the endothelium which is the active layer between the cornea and the liquid aqueous layer of the anterior chamber.

The cornea is about 500-600 microns thick, or about a half a millimeter. On average, less than 100 microns of tissue is removed during LASIK, or less than 20% of the corneal thickness which has little effect on corneal function, but a dramatic effect on vision.

Laser Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) is an eye surgery procedure in which a laser is used to reshape the cornea. LASIK eye surgery can correct most degrees of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Typically, both eyes can be corrected the same day.

When performing LASIK surgery, a Kremer Eye Center surgeon will create a corneal flap and then reshape the corneal tissue according to comprehensive pre-operative testing of your eyes. Recovery is relatively quick and comfortable.

The outcome of LASIK surgery on your eyes varies, with the optimum outcome being increasing vision without the use of eyeglasses. To find out more. visit kremereyecenter.com.

There a number of causes of amblyopia and each has a different likely treatment plan.

Sometimes, amblyopia develops because the eyes are misaligned (a lazy eye) which can be treated through corrective lenses and or patches. In other cases the eyes have different refractive errors so one eye has a development delay and the other becomes more dominant. In rare cases, amblyopia can develop through occlusion which is usually caused by cataracts where the lens (or lenses) of the eye(s) are clouded so development again is delayed. This form is treated by removing the occlusion and then using patches or drops to help the eyes develop to an equal level.

Opthalmic surgeons or optometrists (opticians) can give more detailed advice and perform test on the causes and they will be able to offer specific treatment for your son.

Treatment usually includes occluding (covering up) the dominant eye so that the poorer eye will develop quicker. this can be done through eye drops, eye patches or blurred/blanked glasses. The outcoe of tratment is usually related to time so the sooner treatment is started, the better the improvment is likely to be. This is because when we are younger, our brains are said to be more neuroplastic which means that we can more easily re-programme our brains through new experiences.

Lasiks and eye surgery are both used as treatments for underlying eye conditions and do not treat the amblyopia itself. The amblyopia simply refers to the development delay. If your son has underlying conditions, a professional will advise on the treatment for those along with options for the amblyopia treatment.

In terms of your sons age, if he has had the amblyopia since birth, treatment is said to be most effective before age 9. That is not to say it does not work afterwards. If this is a condition your son has developed more recently, the treatment is more likely to be effective.

If you are given the option of eye patches or atropine drops (eye drops which blur the vision in the good eye to encourage development in the bad eye), considering your son's age, you may prefer the drops as they do not have the same visual look and result in less teasing from peers.

Having had cataracts and amblyopia in one eye, I have been lucky enough to have had corrective surgery and treatment which means that my eyes are good enough for me to drive (legally!) and it doesn't stop me doing anything. My amblyopia was not properly cured but the treatment I did get improved it no end.

Patching or atropine drops which act to block the dominant eye to encourage the poorer eye will not work overnight and will require some commitment from your son (and you!) but persevere with any treatment plan you are given and your son will hopefully see the reward!

In conclusion, try and search out a local optician or opthalmic surgeon who can give more specific advice for your son and suggest treatment options. Amblyopia in its many forms are more common than you might think and help is out there to help you and your son.

Laser surgery can correct cataracts. A plastic lense is put permenantly in your eye.

For those who had LASIK and are now experiencing complications \ side effects like dry eyes, glare at night, blurry vision or eye pain there is treatment, without further surgery. Check out http://www.LasikFailures.com

"Depending on where you live and where you get the laser refractive surgery performed, the price may vary accordingly. You should expect to pay between $1,500 and $3,000."

Every case is different. Unfortunately, for some LASIK patients the glare never goes away.
