			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>After his lasik eye surgery, he claims to experience an improvement in viewing the holes on the green. A leading refractive industry newsletter reported that the average cost for LASIK eye surgery in the second quarter of 2005 was 1,965 USD. </p>
<p>There are thousands all across the USA, who are taking to Laser Eye Surgery, the most exciting advancement in ophthalmology.</p>
<p>Those undergoing Lasik eye surgery in New York often have little problem finding reputable and experienced surgical centers. </p>
<p>Instead he searched for a job for the maintenance of his family and also important treatments of his parents like eye surgery, especially if the procedure to be done is in the face, like a rhinoplasty (nose surgery), blepharoplasty (eye surgery) or rhytidectomy (face lift), you could end up having to stare at your &#8216;cheap&#8217; doctor&#8217;s mistakes in the mirror every day.</p>
<p>If in the third quarter you decide that you want to get laser eye surgery or take a vacation write down where and how much, but what most people have come to discover is that corrective laser eye surgery &#8211; a procedure that takes less than an hour and costs considerably less than a lifetime of vision correction prescriptions &#8211; can not only perfect your vision but address a number of eye conditions with which many people suffer. </p>
<p>The important thing to remember if you consider yourself a candidate; get as much information as you can from Lasik eye surgery reviews and do a little shopping around when searching for surgeons.</p>
<p>People who wear glasses or lens may consult them to verify whether they require a laser eye surgery. But be warned, having eye surgery today based simply on one center advertising the procedure at hundreds of dollars less than another is in no way, any reason to rush in and jump under a laser. Laser eye surgery also works for age-related vision problems.</p>
<p>In LASIK eye surgery, the skills of the physician or surgeon are more important than in the PRK procedure, where the computer does most of the work. </p>
<p>While lasik eye surgery is reasonably safe, any complications which do arise will need to be treated and therefore can &#8216;blow out&#8217; the original quote. Take the recent LASIK eye surgery offer I&#8217;ve received in the mail last month.</p>
<p>The FDA had not yet approved laser eye surgery and so it was only available in Canada. It&#8217;s time to ditch this hassle and look into lasik eye surgery. Won&#8217;t I go blind from such an eye surgery?</p>
<p>Eye surgery technology on the improve there may come a time when laser eye surgery risk is non existent given the rapid rate in which technology is advancing. </p>
<p>Eye surgery kept Ruas off the card, and the replacement was reportedly injured in training just a few days before the fight. Just be sure to ask about every little detail associated with it during your initial consultation as this all adds to the final laser eye surgery price bill.</p>
<p>If you meet the requirements, it also offers an increased probability that the resultant wave front lasik eye surgery will provide a successful outcome with fewer side effects. </p>
<p>Many people are taking advantage of this to travel to India save on eye surgery, get a free holiday and have money left over. On their web site, they advise people never to look for bargains when they are shopping for parachutes, scuba gear or laser eye surgery.</p>
<p>Lasik eye surgery cost has come down considerably in recent years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/daIvH077J9c/2.jpg" align="left">In PRK the epithelium (top layer of the cornea) is scraped off and then the laser treatment is applied. A contact lens is used as a &#8220;bandage&#8221; to decrease discomfort. The epithelium then grows back over the bare area during the next few days.</p>
<p>In LASEK the epithelium is exposed to 20% alcohol which helps separate epithelium from the cornea.  The epithelium is pushed to one side and laser  treatment applied.  The epithelial layer is replaced back onto the eye and held in place with a contact lens. The contact lens is then removed a few days later.  LASEK is hence a &#8220;no knife&#8221;/flap operation.</p>
<p>Epi-Lasik is a smilar procedure that uses a keratome like that used for Lasik, but engineered to only separate the epithelium. The epithelium is left on a hinge, laser treatment applied and flap replaced. For more information on Laser Eye Surgery &amp; more videos please visit http://www.lasik-eyes.co.uk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had lasik done 8 months ago and then a retouch on my left eye done 5 months ago. I didn&#8217;t like the original monovision and had my left eye redone &#8211; it was under corrected.  Also, my eyes are still very dry even though I use Restasis and Systane.  My doctor told me that my left eye will probably be 20/20 after six months, then he told me that it was under corrected.  I am so upset and wonder if anyone has this similar problem.  He also said that I could redo the left eye again but I am not willing to take a third chance.<br />
<br />Laser is used to change the shape of  the cornea in front of the eye, so that the patient can see properly. Not all patients attain perfect vision, you may still need contact lenses or glasses. More detail at http://eye-care.in/lasikeyesurgery.html</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have like&#8230;. Minus 4 and a Minus 2 on each eye. And on both eyes I have this other problem called &quot;cylinder&quot; that I dunno about. Can Lasik completely restore my vision? Money is not an issue. Eye is a very important thing, and I would pay a lot for this surgery. Will a very good Lasik surgeon able to give me 20/20?<br />
<br />My eyes were a minus 7 and minus 11 and I was considered legally blind.  I also had an astigmatism which I think might be what you are calling cylinder.  Automatism is where your eye is misshapen like a football and it changes the way light enters your eye.  I had one eye done with the PRK method and one with lasik.  (I did them at different times for money reasons, when I did the first eye PRK was the only method that existed).  I now have 20/20 vision in one eye and 20/25 in the other, and it is AMAZING!  Make sure you go to a reputable surgeon, but I highly recommend it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve heard of a few that it did not work for, or had to go back and have redone. I don&#8217;t think I would have it done, but wondered if in older adults say 50ish+ if there are any problems with Lasik.<br />
I believe anyone having any kind of surgery, needs to educate themselves on the procedure, and the risk factors. Thanks for all the great input, everyone.<br />
<br />I don&#8217;t know of anybody who regrets having had it done, and I checked with my doctor before I had my vision corrected.  He said that he has never met anybody who had concerns.  There are some precautions after surgery, and they must be followed (such as no eye makeup for a certain number of days, applying eye drops regularly, taking care not to rub the eye, etc.)   I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;ve had it done and I wish I had investigated sooner.</p>

<p>When facing any serious surgical procedure, the key to a successful outcome is thorough preparation. In addition to listening to your doctor and following his advice, you should educate yourself on the particular procedure you are having and take all appropriate steps to prepare for both the surgery and your recovery. It is no different when considering laser eye surgery.</p>
<p>The industry standard for this kind of surgery is known as LASIK, which stands for the very serious-sounding Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis. It is, in fact, quite serious, as is any surgery on a major organ or system of the human body. However, the science is solid and the history of the procedure attests to its safety and effectiveness, so you should have no problems if you adhere to the five ways to prepare for LASIK surgery, before and after the surgery.</p>
<p>1. Educate yourself. Beyond the discussions with your doctor(s), you should avail yourself of the Internet or your local library and read up on the procedure. The more you know about the technology involved, as well as the anatomy of the eyes and the precise nature of the surgery, the less time and energy you will waste with needless worry.</p>
<p>2. Ask questions. Don&#8217;t be shy. This is your eyesight at stake, so any concerns or questions that remain after studying up on the LASIK procedure should be voiced without reservation. It is crucial that you are comfortable with the procedure and fully trust in your doctor(s).</p>
<p>3. Follow instructions. If you wear contacts, you will be advised to leave them out for a certain period of time before the procedure. The shape of your eyes is changed by contacts, and they need to be in their natural shape, size and position at the time of the surgery. If there are any other dietary restrictions or preparations based on your specific condition, your doctor(s) will tell you, and you must follow the instructions to the letter.</p>
<p>4. Adjust your schedule. As with any surgery, you must allow time for recovery. You may have more or less post-operative pain than others, but in any event you will need rest after the procedure, and you will also have to allow some time for your vision to adjust and the blurriness to clear. Don&#8217;t keep up your regular workload if it is going to interfere with your recovery. Make (and follow) a plan for taking some time off work and reducing your level of exertion and stress.</p>
<p>5. Watch yourself carefully. While the surgery has been performed for years on vast numbers of people, there is always some amount of risk. If your vision is not clearing up, or your pain does not diminish, or if there is any other problem whatsoever, do not hesitate to contact your doctor.</p>
<p>The technology of <a href="http://www.docshop.com/education/vision/refractive/lasik/"> vision correction </a> has advanced dramatically since the introduction of medical lasers. The great strides that have been made in laser eye surgery over the past few decades, along with reams of clinical evidence, conclusively establish that it is both safe and effective.</p>
<p>With proper preparation, and a positive attitude, the <a href="http://www.docshop.com/education/vision/refractive/lasik/"> LASIK </a> procedure should go smoothly and help you achieve the vision correction you desire. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was 12 years old I was hit in the eye by a wooden stick.  It wasn&#8217;t a serious injury, but I had to wear a patch for about a week.  I think something was scratched??  Now my vision is about 20/70 and really washed out in that eye.<br />
Of course I will have consultations with a doctor before the procedure so if that is your answer don&#8217;t bother.  I just want to know whether I&#8217;m wasting time even having a consultation.  I&#8217;d like direction to a good source of information, too.<br />
<br />I&#8217;m not so sure that LASIK will work for you, only because the laser re-sculpts the surface of the cornea in order to improve your vision.  If you had an injury to your eye, your cornea may not be suitable for reshaping.  You also need to have a certain thickness on your cornea in order for them to slice the flap, re sculpt the cornea and replace the flap.  If your cornea has been damaged, you may not have enough there to work with.</p>
<p>When I worked in the Ophthalmologist&#8217;s office, we did LASIK and they often helpd free seminars and did free pre-testing to determine if you were a good candidate for the procedure.  There are several tests that they can do that will enable them to see if it would help you.  Call around to your local Ophthamologists&#8217; offices and ask about any seminars.  Around here in PA, they advertise them on the radio.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In college I had an eye problem and had to go to the university hospital. the head doctor there said i would be a great candidate for Lasik at the time. I was 21. I just recently went to an eye appointment at an America&#8217;s Best and the doctor there told me to weight until i was 28-30. i&#8217;ve heard of people having it sooner but no one that i know. Has anyone heard about the 28-30 bit?<br />
<br />Over 18, and with at least two year&#8217;s history of a stable Rx&#8230;<br />
That is going to push many people to 24-25, but once there is good evidence that the eyes are going to stay near zero (for a good while at least) once they are reset to zero, there is no need to wait longer (all other factors been satisfactory, and the risks being accepted).</p>
