Laser Eye Surgery

No. It is not possible to make your eyes bigger. However, effective use of make-up can give the illusion of bigger eyes. Try a thin line of liquid liner on the upper rim of your top eyelid, as close to the lashes as you can get and a pencil liner just beneath your lower lid. Don't line the inside rims of your eyelids, this will make your yes appear smaller.

Laser peripheral iridotomy makes an opening in the iris allowing the fluid to drain, argon laser trabeculoplasty is aimed at the fluid channel opening to help the drainage system function.

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the most recently developed type of refractive surgery.

Color blindness is a problem with the retinal receptors in the back of the eye and LASIK in no way can help this problem.

The positive health benefits of Laser eye surgery is that it takes shorter period of time to finish, it is effective and less invasive and it has a pretty good success rate of good prognisis.

Lasik surgery is advised around the age of 20 ; by that age, the power stabilises.

After Lasik, the remaining power is given in glasses. Never expect 100% correction

by Lasik. The problem of presbyopia starts around 40 and one has to wear

glasses. New types of operations are now done to correct correct presbyopia.

Well, If you have ever looked into the sun and then looked away (please don't if you haven't!) You will see e series of purple and green dots. This is from the sun, a laser in itself, burning your eye. You may not feel it but it does cause damage. Remember to wear eye protection. imagine a laser closer to you and stronger then the sun. it would blind you!!!

This simple question is profound, because it touches on an invention that has changed the way in which the world views vision correction and has helped millions of people worldwide to see better without the aid of glasses or contact lenses.

For perhaps millions of years, much of human kind has suffered with vision problems. There are the serious eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and a myriad of other problems. Beyond this is the simple fact that many people are unable to see clearly at distance, near, or both. This is from the imperfections of the eyeball as a camera and this was greatly helped over that last few hundred years by glasses and more recently in the last 50 years by contact lenses. Although with the advent of lasers, there was a hope that such technology could improve vision, limitations in the nature of the eye had limited laser application to vision correction until the advent of LASIK.

LASIK is a hybrid procedure, that is it involves two steps which together are able to improve vision very rapidly and predictably for patients with ametropias. The first step is to create a potential space for the laser to correct the vision and the second is to do the correction itself. In the early days of LASIK about 15-20 years ago, this potential space was made with a device called a microkeratome. This is a miniature shaver which can peel a thin layer of outer tissue from the cornea which remains attached at the edge or "hinge". Another laser, the excimer laser then focuses on the freshly cut surface, and removes tissue in a programmed manner to reshape the eye. Finally, the flap is replaced which assumes the contour of the newly shaped cornea beneath it. It is the transfer of the shape combined with covering the treated area with living tissue that makes LASIK so remarkable. Healing occurs at the edge or seam of the flap and the eye barely knows that anything has occurred beneath. The vision is rapidly restored with no significant healing response, which is key to the success of LASIK.

Newer lasers, called femtosecond lasers, are able to make the flap layer more precisely without a cutting blade but fundamentally perform the same function. This all laser approach is a safer and slightly more effective way of restoring vision by LASIK.

We become complacent very quickly with new technologies but it is a truly amazing and revolutionary accomplishment that in a procedure that lasts only a few minutes, a persons vision can be corrected from a lifetime of limitations.

LASIK is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism. In LASIK, a thin flap in the cornea is created using either a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser. The surgeon folds back the flap, then removes some corneal tissue underneath using an excimer laser. The flap is then laid back in place, covering the area where the corneal tissue was removed.

With nearsighted people, the goal of LASIK is to flatten the too-steep cornea; with farsighted people, a steeper cornea is desired. LASIK can also correct astigmatism by smoothing an irregular cornea into a more normal shape.

Lasik eye surgery do carry some risk. The most dangerous is losing your eyesight. Fortunately, that is extremely rare. There are cases where you end up being worst off and then there are minor issues like dry eyes and halo effects.

There are several dangers to spine surgery since the spine is a vital, complex, and sensitive bone in our body. During surgery, your spinal cord could be damaged, which can lead to nerve damage involve different conditions such as paralysis. If the surgery is to relieve pain, the surgery can actually end up causing more pain or chronic pain. Spinal surgery is very stressful on the body which can lead to future pain, can lead to blood clots, and ruptured discs. It is best to discuss the dangers with your doctor at your convenience.

Laser correction surgery can be performed on people with an astigmatism, but check with your eye care professional. Depending on what needs to be corrected, some cases may not be good candidates.

As long as the eye has had ample time to heal following the surgery, usually nothing happens. There are some eye traumas, though, that can relift the flap that is created in the LASIK surgery. For that reason, there are certain people I recommend not get LASIK surgery b/c of their profession, most notably boxers. There are also freak accidents that may relift the corneal flap as well (like a patient who was hit in the eye with the edge of a 2x4). When this sort of accident occurs, we simply lay the flap back in place and give it time to heal. On the same note, the military used to prohibit LASIK in their pilots because of the fear that the G-force created in high speed planes would dislocate the flap. With the introduction of the Intralase laser, the military not only allows LASIK but performs it routinely on pilots.

It's possible, but not likely. LASIK surgery changes the natural shape of the eyes by ablating (removing) part of the cornea to change a person's prescription. When changing the natural shape of the eye, this induces what are called higher order aberrations. (ie - spherical aberration, coma aberration, etc. ) These aberrations make seeing 20/10 nearly impossible. I have seen patients with 20/15 results, but it's not usually a crisp 20/15, and usually results in a slight fuzziness or haze around letters and halos around car headlights/streetlights at night.

Yes, you can. Common cold isn't an absolute contraindication for surgery. However, if viral infection affects the lungs, the surgery should be postponed.

LASIK is a surgical procedure to correct vision. It is an acronym which stands for Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis. This is what is actually done in a LASIK procedure. LASIKplus is a branding or marketing name given to a corporate group of centers which have as their main business purpose to perform LASIK surgery. There is no real plus or anything different that these centers are able to do than any other LASIK provider. The real company behind LASIKplus (or LASIK+) is LCA-Vision which trades under the stock ticker LCAV. Perhaps they believed that the name LCAV was not appealing enough to the public, so they opened centers with the LASIKplus moniker.

All LASIK involves two steps, first to make a flap and then to use a laser to reshape the cornea. The most advanced treatment option is to also use a laser of a different type to make the flap. Many centers have these capabilities. It is best for patients to seek a doctor, not a corporate entity whom they trust with their eyes and their vision. This trust should be based on that doctor's own reputation and experience. Many corporate centers hide behind the corporate name, with multiple doctors available to perform procedures. These centers quote statistics based on the overall performance of all of their doctors, but what is most important is the care given to an individual patient by their own doctor.

Visit your eye doctor to determine which corrective eye surgery will improve your eyesight, then ask for a detailed explanation of the cost of the procedure.

The cost of LASIK surgery in Cancun typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 per eye, depending on various factors such as the technology used and the experience of the surgeon. This price is often significantly lower than in the United States, making Cancun a popular destination for medical tourism. It's essential to research clinics and read reviews to ensure quality and safety. Additionally, some packages may include post-operative care and follow-up visits.

That would depend on the reason.

With parental consent, any age.

But if you want to get it done off your own back, you would have to be 18+.

When looking to get corrective laser vision surgery it is important to make sure you are eligilble. If you are eligible it will cost about 2000 dollars in order to have this surgery performed.

improves myopic vision by permanently changing the shape of the cornea so that light rays focus properly on the retina. These procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and generally take 10-30 minutes

Many VA hospitals offer a range of orthopedic and spinal procedures, including some minimally invasive techniques. However, the availability of laser spine surgery specifically may vary by location and the specific capabilities of the facility. It's best to check directly with your local VA hospital or their website for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the services they provide.
