Spectacles are the very common assistance. However, we know spectacles have a lot of troublesome problems. We have to always clean the glasses or we cannot see clearly. We have to adjust the spectacles if the frames are not in good condition. We have to change a new pair when our eyesight becomes worse or our spectacles get broken. We also have to take the spectacles off if we do some sports. In one word, we have to be extremely careful when we wear the spectacles and we have to take good care of the spectacles every minute. Furthermore, a person with glasses is usually not as attractive as a person without it, and I think no one would like to wear the glasses all his life. Who like the abnormal eyes when we take off the glasses!

Someone may think the contact lens is a relatively good choice. Of course, in some way it is. But we know we have to poke our eyes in order to put the lens in when we try to wear it, it is likely to get the eyes hurt and the eyes are easier to inflame. Besides, the cost is really high if we would like a high quality contacts. I think no one would like an inferior contact lens when considering the eye safety.

Nowadays, laser eye surgery is said to be the most effective way to recover from bad vision. But when we think the unsuccessful operation and the post-surgical complications, most of us may feel a little afraid. We can not image the bad result of the surgery and on one want to put the eyes in risk.

Such being the case, whether there are natural ways to maintain good eyesight is a question remaining to all of us. Yes, there are some methods which can keep your eye health, which mainly depend your habits of diet and sleep. Eating a lot of vegetables every day, especially the carrots, has a good influence on your eyes. If you insist on doing that, one day you may find out that your eyes are improved. Resting is also a natural way to keep good eyesight. Every 45 minutes, you can move your focus from your work and close your eyes a little while, or you can do the eye focus and rotation exercise to keep the eye muscles relaxing. Muscle relaxing is a key factor to the good eyesight.

In conclusion, a healthy diet and a reasonable rest are two natural ways to keep good eyesight. Please insist on doing that every day.

Influencing Factors on Laser Surgery Cost

Posted by sean - December 29th, 2009

Due to the fast development of eye laser surgery and the competitions between difference clinics and doctors, eye laser surgery cost has been cut down greatly in recent years.

The inference factors on laser surgery cost mainly including the following ones:

1. The most important one is the types of laser technology. Laser surgery that use less advanced methods is much cheaper than that use advanced methods such as InterLasik or laser surgery that use WaveFront mapping system. So the cost of laser surgery can vary from $500 to $2000. And the average price for laser surgery or Lasik that use advanced technology today is between $1,950 and $2,105.

2. The type of the surgical equipment that was used for creating cornel flap is also inference the cost greatly. This is the first step of laser surgery and it is also the key step that determines the speed of eye healing. As most people wouldn’t like to take the risk of getting side effect of the surgery, they may choose wave front 3D mapping system guided lasik surgery rather than non customized lasik.

3. Although computer is commonly used to guided the procedure, many patient would like to choose experienced and skilled surgeon leaving the cost out of account.

4. Pre exam is usually included in the procedure of laser surgery. However, some type of laser surgery that is very cheap may not include the eye exam step. For example, some advertise may show that the laser surgery only cost $500, in this condition you should make sure whether the pre exam is included before getting an appointment for eye laser surgery.

5. Besides the pre exam you should make sure whether the post medication and the follow up check up or surgery is included.

6. Finally, the place that laser surgery will be carried out also inference the cost.

Eye exercises are conducive to your eyesight

Posted by sean - December 28th, 2009

Many people have a kind of idea that watching too much TV, reading without enough light, small intake of carotene, and sometimes heredofamilial basis do great damage to their vision. However, I can assure you that it’s the chronic strain rather than these reasons that cause the bad vision of your eyes. Since we’ve found the true reason of bad vision, what shall we do to resolve this problem?

My suggestion here is to do eye exercises, which can relax your eye muscles. Some people will feel puzzled why exercises would alleviate strain. On the contrary, they think that would bring about more strain on their eyes. Maybe they mistake the meaning of the term ”eye exercises” for “eye strengthening exercises”, nevertheless the exercises are aimed at relaxing your eye muscles.

Then you are more perplexed about the difference between these two expressions. Imagine you are doing “breathing exercises”, you are just learning the correct way of breathing but not strengthening your lungs. So are “eye exercises”.

What you get from doing these exercises are the rules of getting part of your body much better. As for “breathing exercises”, once you’ve learned the rules of breathing, you will correctly breathe unconsciously, which is good for your lungs. And as long as you practice eye exercise sincerely, you’ll finally grasp the essentials instinctively.

It is the same with learning a musical instrument, such as the violin, only when you’ve learned the principles, and practice many times later, you can be truly good at playing the violin. That means, you’ll know how to relax eye muscles after you learn the rules.

Well, you begin to suspect wearing glasses, which is said to essentially damage the eye muscles. I do not think this is a key issue; think about how you get your eye muscles damaged to the extent that you need glasses to aid your vision before wearing them-that’s certainly not the fault of eyeglasses.

I didn’t mean that glasses would definitely be harmless to people’s eyes, but if you want to restore your good eyesight, first of all you need to take off glasses, at least bring a lesser degree lens when you cannot see clearly without glasses(about 2 degrees weaker).

Even though, whether one can receive eye surgery is dependent on his or her individual conditions.

As for the term of eye surgery, many laymen will be confused by their various interpretations, which can be viewed in both macroscopic and microscopic viewpoint. For example, many people suffering from cataract choose to receive eye surgery for the sake of their aging crystalline lens, which can always lead to serious vision blurriness. The eye doctor will give different suggestions and methods for individualized people in different conditions. As for some people who are suffering glaucoma, which can always lead to vision loss if it is not dealt appropriately, can receive surgeries of different kinds according to the degree of their diseases.

Some refractive surgeries are essential for people who have to wear glasses and contacts, for these surgeries can correct the refractory errors. Many people suffering from strabismus often choose to get eye muscle surgeries. Still more, eye surgeries can solve many other eye problems or diseases. For instance, if people’s eyes are injured by some accidents, or there are some other foreign bodies in their eyes, eye surgeries are very ideal choices. But all these procedures should be under the guidance of your doctor.

With the renewal of technologies, there appears LASIK eye surgery, which can be bliss for all eyeglasses wearers. The statistics has it that people with astigmatism and myopia are very fond of LASIK surgeries.

It is such a great pioneering undertaking that patients can get rid of glasses forever after the LASIK surgery.

Four Kinds of Laser Eye Surgeries

Posted by sean - December 27th, 2009

In modern society, having a laser eye surgery is not only a fad, but also a more preferable way to have eyesight problems corrected rather than wearing eyeglasses. There are four kinds of laser eyesight correction surgeries which are thought to be necessary to be listed to help patients get a general view.

This first one is the flap techniques, among which the LASIK is the commonly applied one procedure. During the surgery, the surgeon cuts a small flap in the cornea, if LASIK applied, a laser beam is used to create the flap and remove the extra tissue, so that the cornea can be reshaped and regain the ability to focus objects. This procedure can also be achieved by photoablation techniques in which a kind of cool heat, mainly composed of ultraviolet radiation, is used to impair the excess tissue. Then the tissue is taken off from the cornea. The difference between flap technique and photoablation technique is that the latter comes to comparatively secondary. However, as it known to all that problems are inevitable to emerge during any surgery, so do flap techniques, during which, the flap may be put out of place causing eye soreness and blurry vision but this is of low probability, a million to one. In addition, a perforation in the eye and an irregular flap can happen at times, resulting in seeing “floaters” in vision, but those often happen when older equipment is used.

The second one is the thermal techniques, which are mainly applied to cure farsightedness. It, in both laser technique and electric probe, is achieved by heating up the pupil with thermal heat 8-16 tiny burns. Thus the cornea can be reshaped to be steeper.

The third one is the corneal incision methods. This technique is accomplished based on the principle of changing the surface of the cornea, so that vision errors are fixed. However this technique is proceded in a traditional way by using a diamond-tipped knife to make a tiny cut in cornea, it has been replaced by laser technology now.

The forth one is the implants. They are done by putting contact lenses right behind the cornea forever, which are referred as intra-ocular contact lens implant. This technique is usually applied when one’s cornea are so extremely deformed that eye problems can not be corrected by other surgeries.

After the operation, a few days or last up to a month will be taken for one to get recovered which varies from person to person. It is worth to notice that in the course of healing, people should take good care of their eyes, or some issues will occur, for that with any operation, there is certainly a risk of infection. Therefore, it is advisable not to rub eyes, and take along eye drops, which can serve as a help to keep eyes from getting dry. If your eyes are unfortunately get infected, go to see your eye doctor as soon as possible, in case of slowing the course of healing.

That’s all the kinds of laser eye correction surgeries above. If you have had enough of the trouble of wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses, it is the time for you to try the new, which will definitely surprise you a lot. Do not be worried about the accidents mentioned above, study show that laser issues happen in less than 1% of eye operations done today. Anyhow, no matter what kind of surgery you are intended to take, do consult a professional eye doctor. If permissible, consulting another one or two ophthalmologists will be great.

Eye makeup unsafe for young girls

Posted by sean - December 26th, 2009

According to a study carried out by the Environmental Working Group, based in Washington – beauty products such as mascara, eye shadow and foundation are unsafe for use as they have been found to contain chemicals that can be linked to conditions such as cancer, infertility and hormone imbalance.

The study conducted among young girls in the age group of 14-19 found all the beauty products used by them contained dangerous chemicals such as phthalates, triclosan, parabens and musks, all of which are harmful to the body. The study also suggested that the longer the usage of make-up in a younger girl, the higher the health risk.

These chemicals have been linked in the past to cancer and hormone problems and scientists fear they may end up be connected to depression as well.

Eye makeup, for example, contains chemicals that may affect the eyes in ways more than one:
Any of the ingredients of an eye cosmetic can cause an allergic reaction. This can manifest as redness, itching, tearing, burning or stinging in the eyes or a watery discharge from them.
Kohl, also known as surma or kajal, is known to contain heavy metals such as lead that are poisonous and may impact eye health hugely.

Infections can occur due to contamination of the eye cosmetic with bacteria or fungus, or due to unhygienic use.

Permanent dye, used to color the eyebrows and eye lashes, may cause serious and irreversible damage such as blindness if it comes in direct contact with the eyes, because of the color additives used.

Cosmetic applicators can cause physical damage if not used properly.
