Contact lenses have been worn for many decades and have improved substantially over the years. Along with this change in lens technology has been a dramatic improvement testing and diagnostic capabilities. While many contact lens wearers do so with out incident, there are many perils that may inflict damage to the eyes that can result in devastating complications.
Alpha lipoic Acid (ALA) also known as thiotic acid is a naturally occurring compound made in the mitochondria of the cells, and is a cofactor that helps ATP.
Refractive surgery, PRK and LASIK, have evolved and become more common place over the last 10 years. As more of these procedures are performed, the scope of their goals appears to be increasing as well.
Proper diets have long been known to be beneficial to our overall good health. New research has demonstrated more specifics as to just how important and what we need to eat in order to stay healthy and fit.
While all men are created equal, our corneas are not. Presurgical testing for refractive surgery must include corneal topographies, Orbscans and Pachometry to determine corneal thickness
When it comes to refractive surgery, the two best options are LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy). LASIK will result in a faster healing time, but may present more secondary complications.
Radial Keratotomy (RK) has been referred to by some as the “Grand Father” of Refractive Surgery. It involved making radial incisions in the cornea some times as deep as 80% of the total corneal thickness in an attempt to flatten the tissue. Astigmatism was treated with specific incisions located in strategic parts of the cornea. The astigmatic incisions were done first, since they created more nearsightedness and when they healed, the radial ones were performed. The optical zone around the pupil varied depending on the degree of nearsightedness that needed to be corrected.
