However, just as all the other medical treatments there have been evidences where people have suffered from the aftereffects of a LASIK surgery. While the positive effects are always desirable and comfortable to experience, individuals are also encouraged to be aware of the possible negative consequences after LASIK eye surgery.<br /><br />LASIK eye surgery refers to the reshaping of the cornea through laser refractive method, for an improved vision. A flap is cut in the inner area of the cornea, which is then reshaped using laser. Evidences show that immediately after the operation a sense of itching, blurring and feeling the presence of piercing particles inside the eyes may cause discomfort to the patient. It is therefore, not recommended to rub the eyes after the surgery that might dislocate the flap and cause harm or damage to the eyes. The vision is usually blurred on the day of the surgery, which improves gradually in the days to come. In case the patient experiences severe pain or other symptoms before the follow-up program begins, which is usually within 24 to 48 hours of the operation, immediate consultation of the doctor is required.<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.blinkx.com/w?g_sApiQuery=%2Fapiphp%2Fstart%2Ephp%3Faction%3Dquery%26databasematch%3Dmedia%26totalresults%3Dtrue%26clientip%3D60%2E50%2E181%2E63%26text%3Dlasik%2Beye%2Bsurgery%26start%3D1%26maxresults%3D25%26sortby%3Drelevance%26removedredatabases%3DPodcast%26fieldtext%3D%26newsresults%3Dtrue%26sportsresults%3Dtrue%26characters%3D10000g%5FiQueryOffset%3D1&g_StageWidth=500&g_StageHeight=225&g_ApiServer=www.blinkx.com&g_sImgServer=http://cdn-99.blinkx.com/store" width='500' height='225' quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" name="newwall" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed><br /><br />Some patients might also develop night vision and other debilitating visual symptoms such as double vision, glare, and halos. Apart from this, the patient can develop severe dry eye syndrome in which the eye is not able to produce sufficient tears to balance the moist level of the eyes. This might again lead to permanent visual problems that at times require intensive drop therapy or plug treatments.<br /><br />The result of the improved vision might diminish with age and according to case studies, people might still require glasses or contact lenses even after the surgery. It is crucial to discuss the expectations from the surgery with the doctor and find out how effective a LASIK surgery would be.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.z-lasik.com/" target="_new">Lasik</a> provides detailed information on Lasik, Lasik Eye Surgery, Lasik Surgery, Lasik Complications and more.

Not according to reports by Austin news sources. This information was not meant to discredit LASIK surgery but more as information provided to consumers so they may be able to make an informed choice when choosing a LASIK surgery Austin based doctor clinic. The news report cited information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is applicable to any location offering LASIK eye surgery.<br /><br />In an Austin news story, the FDA has reported that there are certain risks associated with laser eye surgery or LASIK. As with any surgery, there are risks and LASIK is no exception. Some patients do not achieve perfect 20/20 vision after the eye surgery. These patients may still require glasses or other corrective lenses, based on FDA findings in this LASIK surgery Austin based report.<br /><br />Some of the side effects associated with Lasik eye surgery might include double vision, glare, a halo effect, and difficulty driving in dim conditions, an Austin news story reported. The FDA states that a doctor who doesn't discuss risks as well as benefits is not a good choice for a LASIK surgery Austin based procedure. Before having LASIK surgery, Austin patients, and those located elsewhere, should learn all the risks from their doctor.<br /><br />Is it possible that and existing eye problem means that Lasik surgery is not the best choice for you? Laser eye surgery weakens the cornea, so persons with thin corneas are not good candidates. The FDAs web site has confirmed the story put out by Austin news. An Austin LASIK eye surgery candidates with dry eye or even enlarged pupils might also be disqualified from laser vision refractive surgery.<br /><br />If you're having hormone changes and vision changes than LASIK surgery may not be for you. This fact was also cited by the Austin news report. Young people often experience several vision changes in a year, according to the FDA. Potential LASIK surgery Austin based patients should wait until vision changes don't occur during the previous year. Recent Vision changes due to disease (for example, diabetes), prescription medications or pregnancy might also complicate any eye surgery.<br /><br />The FDAs web site has echoed many of the statements concerning LASIK surgery as cited by the Austin news report. This esulted in an informative story. Many potential laser vision patients eagerly flock to their local eye clinic without knowing both the benefits and the risks. Texas residents seeking LASIK surgery Austin doctors and clinics will be well-informed eye surgery patients.<br /><br />Kenneth L Myers is the author of this article and would like you to come visit our site for more information on LASIK surgery.<br /><br /><a target="_new" href="http://bestlasicsurgery.com/ar/lasik-surgery-austin.php">http://bestlasicsurgery.com/ar/lasik-surgery-austin.php</a><br /><br />Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kenneth_Myers" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Kenneth_Myers</a><br /><p><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Are-you-A-Good-Candidate-For-LASIK-Surgery?&id=434216" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?Are-you-A-Good-Candidate-For-LASIK-Surgery?&id=434216</a></p>speedoguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05793334473916458555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079022394108386486.post-21150671812386610592007-12-02T11:07:00.000+08:002007-12-02T11:09:14.723+08:00Orange County Plastic Surgeon Search<div style="text-align: justify;">By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jeff_Lakie">Jeff Lakie</a></p><br /><br /><p>The main problem is that of abundance. Finding an Orange County plastic surgeon is easy, the problem is to find THE Orange County plastic surgeon - the one who will meet your expectations. Start from searching the Internet. There you will probably find about fifty plastic surgeons for a start. When you have the list, start contacting them, one by one. I know this is time consuming, but the plastic surgery is a surgery, not some kind of magic. Narrow your list to those who specialize in the kind of surgery you want to have and visit the clinics.</p><br /><p>How can you find the best plastic surgeon available?</p><br /><p>Every Orange County plastic surgeon worth choosing will offer you a short walk around the clinic to show you what's going on there. If they ask you to sight tight in an office, it's a big minus. The second checkpoint is the plastic surgery picture. Ask them to show you the “before/after” photos of patients that had similar surgery to yours. Even in Orange County, every plastic surgeon will have to show you the pictures. Check them carefully - if in any of them you will see makeup, resign. All these photos are used for medical purposes and taking photos in makeup means only that there is something to hide. If both the walk and the pictures' check went good, you can get down to business.</p><br /><p>Things you should check before the surgery</p><br /><p>The prices are quite high in Orange County. Every plastic surgeon living there is a professional, so the prices are “professional” too. Don't worry about the money, though. You are about to have a surgery any saving $300 and risking some surgery complications instead isn't a too bright idea. Remember, it's the professionalism you're looking for, not a discount. Every Orange County plastic surgeon is a professional, but you want to get “the best of the best”, don't you? The money you will spend is only a secondary problem then. I say this because we tend to forget about it during any purchases or negotiations and we start thinking only about our money.</p><br /><br /><p>Jeff Lakie is the founder of <a target="_new" href="http://www.tummy-tuck-photos.com">Plastic Surgery Resources</a> a website providing information on cosmetic surgery.</p><br /><p>Article Source: <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jeff_Lakie" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Jeff_Lakie</a><br /><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Orange-County-Plastic-Surgeon-Search&id=55956" target="_new">http://EzineArticles.com/?Orange-County-Plastic-Surgeon-Search&id=55956</a></p><br /><br /></div>speedoguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05793334473916458555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079022394108386486.post-53719969161589738032007-12-02T11:05:00.000+08:002007-12-02T11:07:27.495+08:00California's Orange County Cosmetic Surgery<div style="text-align: justify;">By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Wade_Robins">Wade Robins</a></p><br /><br /><p>California is home to some of the most beautiful people because they can afford to have cosmetic surgery performed. Yes some are just born beautiful, but others seek a professional to fix the little imperfections that they have such as an unbalanced face, a little too much fat around the thighs and whatever else an individual may find wrong. Cosmetic surgery has evolved from its first concept of helping those that needed it to making it a popular thing to do. The trouble with cosmetic surgery is that you do have to keep going back, we as individuals age and sometimes not gracefully. Orange County cosmetic surgery is home to some of the greatest professionals in the industry because this is where most people go to have work done, including some of the actors and actresses of Hollywood.</p><br /><p>* Orange Country cosmetic surgery has advanced since the original conception of the work.</p><br /><p>* This means that there are new and innovative ways to perform procedures.</p><br /><p>* You may decide just one area needs to be touched up or you may want a whole body procedure from legs, face, and stomach.</p><br /><p>* Of course the procedures in cosmetic surgery are extremely expensive so be prepared for the thousands of dollars you may spend to become perfect. Each procedure will cost something different so a simple eyelift may not cost as much as the chin lift or it could be the other way around.</p><br /><p>* Popularity in cosmetic surgery especially Orange County cosmetic surgery keeps evolving. There are so many new people heading for the procedures.</p><br /><p>* This new popularity has made an increase in demand for the best and most qualified cosmetic surgeons available.</p><br /><p>* There are risks and complications of cosmetic surgery. The best thing to note in this area is that the surgeons in Orange County are proven to be some of these best, which means the risks and complications are kept to a minimum.</p><br /><p>When you head in for <a target="_new" href="http://www.knowcosmeticsurgery.com/Cosmetic_And_Plastic_Surgery/">cosmetic surgery</a> you need to know the risks and complications that may arise. Some of these can be nerve damage, infection, or pigmentation problems. Pigmentation problems usually result when a person has laser cosmetic surgery performed and the laser was left on an area too long. This means only the area can no longer exude the proper pigmentation so the area tends to be a little whiter. The nerve damage often comes from facelifts, chin lifts, or eye lifts because the surgeon is removing the skin from the muscle and nerves. Even the best cosmetic surgeons have had problems during a procedure though they are an extremely small few when you compare the number of individuals that seek cosmetic surgery every year.</p><br /><br /><p>You can also find more info on <a target="_new" href="http://www.knowcosmeticsurgery.com/">Cosmetic Surgery</a> and <a target="_new" href="http://www.knowcosmeticsurgery.com/Beverly_Hills_Cosmetic_Surgery/">Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgery</a>.

Before making your decision, learn about the LASIK procedure, its benefits, and its risks, and discuss any questions you have with your doctor. It can treat both myopia and hyperopia with or without astigmatism. <br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Questions to ask yourself: Am I a good candidate for LASIK? What are the advantages? And what are the disadvantages? Can I correct my vision problem some other way? Am I aware of complications that may arise following surgery?<br /><br /><br />LASIK represents the combination of two separate procedures: 1) making a corneal flap, and 2) sculpting the cornea under the flap with a laser. LASIK can treat both myopia and hyperopia with or without astigmatism. Patients have been treated from over 87 countries. <br /><br /><br />Though the excimer laser had been used for many years before, the development of LASIK is generally credited to Ioannis Pallikaris from Greece around 1991. Before 1999, all LASIK was performed off-label, meaning the FDA did not approve its use. This next-generation LASIK addresses underlying vision problems that previously were undetectable and untreatable. <br /><br /><br />In the United States alone, Laser surgery is performed on over a million patients every year, and it is currently the most popular refractive surgery available. If you are interested in laser vision correction, consider what surgery can do for you. Choosing the right LASIK surgeon is a critical part of any eye surgery. Your surgeon should be available to answer your surgery questions prior to the procedure. <br /><br /><br />The surgery is worthwhile for anyone who is unhappy wearing glasses or contact lenses. The surgery is best suited for healthy patients who are at least 18 years of age. The surgery may now also be an option for presbyopia correction; the surgery can correct one eye for distance vision and the other eye for close vision in a procedure known as Monovision. <br /><br /><br />At the vision correction centers, surgery begins after the patient is made comfortable with numbing anesthetic eye drops. The surgery itself is virtually painless, and results can be seen immediately. Those who found out about LASIK eye surgery open their once blurry eyes and are instantly able to see the alarm clock and the beautiful morning - no glasses and no contacts. <br /><br /><br />It's important to be aware that the surgery is not a guarantee of perfect vision, and some patients may require additional surgery to further enhance their vision. And there may be complications. We don't know the long-term effects of the surgery. However, the vast majority of patients who have undergone laser eye surgery are happy with the results. In addition to general ophthalmology care and regular eye exams, eye surgeons usually offer their patients the latest vision correction procedures, including LASIK, Custom LASIK, PRK, Intacs for Keratoconus, and Cataract Surgery. <br /><br /><br />If your vision insurance or health insurance policy or plan doesn't cover the cost of laser eye surgery or the cost of LASIK eye surgery or vision correction or any other eye procedure you need you might consider traveling to another country to get the low cost laser eye surgery you need.<br /><br /><br />LASIK eye surgery, or Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis, has changed the way millions of Americans have viewed the world for several years now. Before making your decision, learn all you can about the procedure, its benefits, and its risks, and the cost of laser eye surgery. Discuss any questions you have with your eye doctor or laser vision surgeon.<br /><br /><br />For more information on LASIK eye surgery and <a href="http://www.visionnurse.com/">cost of laser eye surgery</a> visit http://www.VisionNurse.com Helen Hecker R.N.'s popular website which offers tips, and resources, including information on travel and low cost LASIK eye surgery, discount contact lenses, sunglasses, eyeglasses and <a href="http://www.visionnurse.com/">laser vision correction</a><br /><br /><br />Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlestoreprint.com/">ArticlesToReprint, free content for your website</a></div>speedoguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05793334473916458555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079022394108386486.post-70989371812994299532007-11-30T21:27:00.000+08:002007-11-30T21:32:16.135+08:00Basic Of Lasik Eye Surgery<div style="text-align: justify;">by <a href="http://www.articlestoreprint.com/profile_4484_john-porter.htm">John Porter</a><br /><br />Eye surgery comes with the promise of improving one's vision permanently so that the need for glasses or contact lenses is no longer there. So you are no longer dependent on them.In a way, you discover new liberty and freedom.<br /><br /><br />How is it done?<br /><br /><br />It takes about five to ten minutes to complete the operation. First a mild anesthetic will be administered. Also eye drops are used to numb the eye and avoid pain during the operation. Though the operation is pain free there have been patients who have complained of discomfort. Once the eye is numb, a little device known as the microkeratome is attached to a suction ring placed on the eye.<br /><br /><br />The microkeratome has a blade which cuts a thin flap on the surface of the cornea. The doctor will next fold back the flap and expose the stroma which is basically a layer of tissue. The stroma is searched for debris and is then dried. Now the surgeon will ask you to focus on a fixed spot while he, with the aid of laser mends the corneal tissue according to results of pre-operation examination. Once through, the flap is put back to position and an eye patch is provided to allow it to heal.<br /><br /><br />Which are the conditions that are treated?<br /><br /><br />Basically eye surgery is used to cure three main types of eye conditions-myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Myopia, also know as nearsightedness is the problem of not being able to see what is far away without glasses. Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is the other way round. Astigmatism is something different where the patient has irregularities in his cornea which as a result distorts the image formed on the retina of the eye.<br /><br /><br />Who is an ideal candidate?<br /><br /><br />n ideal candidate for this surgery should be over 21 years of age. The person should not be into contact sports or any similar physical activities. The visual stability over the past year should be good and there should not be any history of previous eye diseases or eye injury. Pregnant women are also not eligible for that surgery.<br /><br /><br />What are the risks?<br /><br /><br />This eye surgery comes with its own set of risks and they should always be considered seriously before you actually sign-up for an operation. Problems that might be caused due to this surgery are double vision, glare, and halo. One's nighttime vision can also be affected, especially for certain operation procedures. Even permanent blurry vision and diminished contrast may be the effects of this operation.<br /><br /><br />Find more <a href="http://www.epilasik-4u.info/">Lasik</a> and<br /><a href="http://www.eye-correction-4u.info/">Eye surgery</a> info online.<br />For Lasik related articles: <a href="http://www.lasik-fyi.info/">http://www.lasik-fyi.info</a><br /><br /><br />Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlestoreprint.com/">ArticlesToReprint, free content for your website</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>speedoguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05793334473916458555noreply@blogger.com0
