20/20 in 2020
There is no end to the predictions about what may happen in or by the year 2020.

All this goes to say you definitely want to be around to see it. And, if you can, not just be around, but… Read more

Look after your eyes this winter
The winter weather can take its toll on many parts of the body. And with the climate changing and ever more extreme weather coming our way, this is only going to become truer. For instance, your mood can dip, thanks to the shorter days and the lack of Vitamin D. You burn more calories from doing less. And if it’s really cold, your fingers may even “shrink” as your blood vessels constrict and more blood gets sent away from your extremities and… Read more

What prescription can Laser Eye Surgery correct?
When you go in for an eye exam at the opticians, the main thing you come out knowing is whether or not you need to wear glasses. But they also might mention a bit about exactly why you need glasses. With your little prescription card in your hand, they’ll explain how you have shortsightedness, longsightedness, astigmatism, or maybe a mixture of the above. Aside from that, there’s not much else you need to know. But if you’re not too keen on a lifetime of glasses or… Read more

Is it worth getting Laser Eye Surgery?
There’s no shortage of reasons why someone might want to have Laser Eye Surgery. Some of them are incredibly deep and meaningful: A guy who’s having his second child and wants to be able to help roll or wake up in the middle of the night without worrying about finding his glasses.

This goes to say that if you find yourself thinking your prescription isn’t treatable and that you’re outside of the general limits for Laser Eye Surgery, don’t fret. Chances are there are… Read more

As seen on TED [Video]
In 1948, Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Ignacio Barraquer Moner was fed up with relying on external aids to see well. He wanted a solution for blurry vision that would fix the eye itself, without the need of wearing glasses. The answer he came up with was something called “keratomileusis”, a surgical technique that alters vision by reshaping the cornea. And the rest is history. Today, we know this procedure as LASIK, a treatment for everything from shortsightedness and longsightedness to astigmatism and presbyopia.… Read more

What is the most advanced Laser Eye Surgery?
You know when you buy a new car, upgrade your phone, or get a new washing machine, that you typically want the most advanced version available. You know advanced here is a good thing, because it means greater performance and all-round better experience. But what does advanced mean in the world of Laser Eye Surgery? And does it even matter?
