Learn About Different Types Of Refractive Surgery Learning about refractive surgery can be a long and gruelling task. First, you’ve to find the time in your day to sit down without the distractions of kids or pets or—let’s face it—more fun things you could be doing. Then you’re faced with sifting through endless mounds of information, statistics, opinions, and tabloids, most of which are produced to shock or sell.

LASEK vs LASIK

Posted on

LASEK vs LASIK Today, the range of treatments available (often with varying names) across the many Laser Eye Surgery providers can make it challenging to know which one to choose and just what the differences are. But underneath this, the endless promotions and branding, the number of Laser Eye Surgery techniques are very few. All Laser Eye Surgery techniques work by reshaping the permanent tissue, or stroma, that sits in the corneal bed. The one thing that differs is how they access this tissue….

Understanding treatment for vision problems

Understanding Treatment For Vision Problems As one of our greatest assets, our vision has spurred the rise of several industries focused on keeping it in tip-top condition.

Laser Eye Surgery treatment types

Posted on

Laser Eye Surgery treatment types There are laser eye treatments; then there are laser eye treatments. What’s the difference, I hear you ask? Well, on the surface, not much. But the thing is, you can walk into one high street provider and find a long list of treatments, with names like UltraLASEK, Epi-LASEK, Epi-LASIK, Custom LASIK, and Zyoptix. Yet you could walk into another and see a completely different list, maybe with UltraLASEKplus and Wavefront LASIK. Or, even more confusingly, you…

Which Laser Eye Surgery treatment is right for you?

Posted on

Which Laser Eye Surgery treatment is right for you? If you’re thinking about having Laser Eye Surgery, there’s no doubt you will have encountered many new words and acronyms, which at first glance, don’t seem to make a whole lot of sense. PRK, LASIK, femtosecond lasers, myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, ReLEx SMILE; these are just a sample of the common language used in the world of Laser Eye Surgery. Without question, it’s understandable to be overwhelmed by it all. That feeling…

Avoid Being Seduced By Cheap Laser Eye Surgery Deals

Posted on

Avoid Being Seduced By Cheap Laser Eye Surgery Deals Everybody loves a bargain. But when it comes to any form of elective surgery, price should never be the first thing you look out for. We tend to have a funny relationship with money. Just yesterday when I was out doing the shopping, a new, cheaper brand of a type of product I buy every week caught my eye. As it was marginally less than the one I usually go for…

Potential side effects of LASIK Laser Eye Surgery

Posted on

Potential side effects of LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Side effects are widely viewed with trepidation; for example, nobody wants an unwanted side effect like amnesia. Heck, even the slightest negative effect from something that’s intended to improve your quality of life is extremely unwelcome. Unfortunately, many medications and surgeries come with a long list of possible side effects. I don’t know about you, but any time I’m going to try something new—no matter whether it’s surgery or a different brand of…

Fireworks & bonfires: Do take care

Posted on

Fireworks & bonfires: Do take care Fireworks are delightful inventions that bring fun and enjoyment to everyone (except maybe dogs and older adults). But they’re also small dangerous missiles packed with gunpowder that fire ‘payloads’ at hundreds of miles an hour into the sky to explode in a (hopefully) controlled and artistic way. Without sounding like too much of a party pooper, it’s the same story for bonfires. Although for millennia, they’ve kept us warm and provided us with a…

Autumn is the season of colours

Posted on

Autumn is the season of colours Colours are all around us. And should we stop for long enough to notice them, we realise they make our world not just look incredible, but our experiences a whole lot richer. They are, after all, what enables us to become awestruck at such scenes as a sunset, a rainbow lorikeet, a Henry Matisse or Van Gogh painting, and the bloom of the cherry blossoms in spring. But beyond mere pleasure for the senses, in…
