What does the diagnostic exam of an eye surgery candidate include?
The diagnostic exam should include measurement of visual acuity under both low and high illumination, biomicroscopy with pupillary dilation, stereoscopic fundus examination with pupillary dilation.
How likely is it for a flap to move several months after lasik eye surgery?
It is extremely unlikely for the flap to move several months after LASIK surgery, but it is possible to dislodge it with severe trauma. In the last 15 years and about 50,000 LASIK cases we have only seen a small handful of cases with late flap dislocation. These were almost always the result of severe trauma such as a tree branch directly contacting the cornea, and would have caused some degree of injury. Fortunately, we have been able to repair these cases successfully with little or not permanent loss of vision.
It is for this reason that the military and some law enforcement branches had required PRK or surface treatment rather than LASIK due to potential combat situation. It is an indication of how rare these occurrences are that LASIK is now accepted by most all of the categories previously mentioned.
We counsel all LASIK patients to wear eye protection for a minimum of six months, and it is not a bad idea for everyone to do this when there could be damage of the eye. It takes a special kind of trauma to dislodge a well healed LASIK flap, and if the vision does change after a trauma, it is best to have the eye checked right away.

What qualifications do you need to be a counceller?
counsellor i would like to become a counsellor I'm just wounder-in what study path i would need in order to progress. i have no former qualifications and don't mind starting from scratch. I'm 26 years of age please help.
just rinse out your eye every couple of hours with eye solution. don't wear glasses or contacts for a while, and close your eyes as much as possible...i think this will help...i didn't exactly know what you meant by groove, though.

There are several different ways the word procedure can be used. A procedure can be a course of action: Mary proceeded to recite her poem. A procedure can be a medical operation: Jeff's nose procedure was a success. A procedure can also be a mode of conducting legal or business: Jane's court proceedings take place tomorrow.

How is a laser iridectomy done?
To perform a laser iridotomy, the ophthalmologist uses a laser, usually an argon or an Nd:YAG laser, to burn a small hole into the iris to relieve fluid pressure behind the iris. If the procedure is an iridectomy, the laser is used to remove.
People have eyes because they have eyes. There is not a reason. But you should take care of them and watch out for them. They are like your babies. They need food and water, they need to poop,sleep and pee. Here is some more information to help! ~ "Maybe we have eyes because if we didn't, there would be no need for beauty, seeing we cant see it. There would be no light, only darkness. Maybe we have eyes not just cause we need them to function, because we don't. Blind people don't need them to function, yes of course its and added bonus. But maybe we were given eyes for the sole purpose of seeing the world and what was created.
Not cause we need them. But because they are just nice to have. We don't need eyes, but we have them anyway. We don't need a lot of things in life to live, yet we have them. Maybe we have eyes just cause we can." ~ Spaxol to Razia
Are expenses for lasik surgery tax deductible?
You can include in medical expenses the amount you pay for eye surgery to treat defective vision, such as laser eye surgery or radial keratotomy.

Can a person that was born blind move their eyes to the direction of a noise?
No. A person that hears a noise will generally move their whole head towards the noise or look upward (like Stevie Wonder) because they have no control of the eyeballs.
What is the difference between PRK eye surgery and LASIK?
PRK and LASIK are very similar. LASIK has a tiny blade that cuts the cornea. On the other hand, PRK doesn't do this. PRK uses a laser to reshape the cornea without cutting it.
Is there lasik surgery in the Philippines?
In Cebu The Cebu Doctors' Hospital in Cebu City has earned a name among celebrities for the lasik surgery practice of Dr. Yong Larrazabal. In Quezon City But if you are from Manila and your budget is entirely focused on getting a Lasik surgery done and cannot afford to be a medical tourist, you can also get Lasik surgery in St. Luke's- Vision Laser Center. For more information about this you can check it out through the related link that I've provided (Lasik Manila, Philippines).
What are the side effects of peripheral vasodilators?
Peripheral vasodilators may cause dizziness and orthostatic hypotension--a rapid lowering of blood pressure when the patient stands up in the morning.
Lasik is a two step procedure to correct eyesight by changing the shape of the cornea. In the first step a corneal flap is made where the outer layer of the cornea is separated and folded back to reveal the inner corneal tissue or stroma. This was initially performed using a vibrating razor blade device called a microkeratome and many are still performed today with this method. A newer method is to use a laser to separate this outer tissue layer with a type of laser called a femtosecond laser. The femtosecond laser uses very short length pulses to create a tissue plane that allows for this separation.
The second step in Lasik is the vision correction step where an excimer laser makes pulses on the exposed stromal surface of the eye to reshape the eye into the new desired shape. There are many brands of lasers which can perform this task and are roughly divided into the large beam lasers which reshape the whole cornea by changing the size and shape of the beam, and small pulse lasers which reshape by the same size tiny pulse moving in a pattern around on the cornea. Each pulse of the laser removes a precise amount of tissue by a process known at photoablation. The sum of all these pulses changes the curvature of the cornea. When the flap is replaced, the new shape transfers to the front of the eye and the vision is corrected.
One of the breakthroughs in Lasik vision correction is the use of eyetrackers which monitor and follow the eye during the treatment so that tiny eye movements do not detract from the planned correction. This is best explained in the attached link.
It refers to how "crisp" or clear and image / the quality of an image is.
Why do you not need to wear contact lens or glasses after LASIK is performed?
LASIK is a surgical procedure where the shape of the front of the eye is changed to allow light entering the eye to focus more clearly on the retina in the back of the eye. People who wear glasses or contact lenses have a mismatch between the optical focus of their eye and what is required for clear vision.
Glasses work by bending the light rays before they reach the eye in such a way that the light rays are bent further by the eyes optics to allow proper focus. The eye has two optical portions, the cornea which is in the front and the lens within the eye. Another factor that is important is the length of the eyeball itself.
Contacts work by covering the eye and having a proper shape on the front surface of the contact lens to focus the light properly which is one step closer to how LASIK works. In LASIK, some tissue is removed with an excimer laser in a precise way to reshape the eye so that it will have the same shape as that of a properly fitting contact lens (there are small differences from this due to index of refraction) and the eye is restored to a shape that it will focus the light rays properly to the retina.
The cornea is corrected under a thin flap of tissue, which covers the newly shaped area and heals quickly resulting in rapid recovery of the vision. The shape can be altered to correct nearsightedness by overall flattening the corneal shape, farsightedness by doing the opposite of steepening the shape or astigmatism.
Astigmatism is caused by an asymmetric shape like a teaspoon or a bent Frisbee This means that light rays are bent differently depending on the orientation. The LASIK procedure removes tissue preferentially to repair this condition and the resultant shape is more symmetrical.
The one thing that LASIK cannot fix is the aging of the lens which requires reading glasses even in those who have excellent distance vision, and therefore it is not a "total solution for older patients who will still need help with their near vision.
