21 Jun

Nowadays,people wearing glass are more and more,some without glass are wearing contact lens.Are you the one do not need glass or contact lens?Do you realize it by laser surgery?

There are a lot of laser eye procedures that one can choose to take treatment for. It is quite individual and is based on the extent of vision problems that one has. Most of the people go in for the laser surgery otherwise known as lasik surgery. It has been observed that some of the people even have a 20 20 vision back though some are not fortunate but will definitely have an improvement from their earlier reading and may have to wear a reduced prescription after the procedure.

First a screening is done on your eyes, so that the doctor wcan determine which procedure would be best for you. Those people having eye corneas that are thick cannot go in for the Laser Eye Surgery. Instead he Lasek would be the best option for those with a thick layer of cornea. There is no need to worry about whether the doctor will know which one will be best for your eyes, because he will examine your eyes as mentioned before, to see the thickness of your cornea. With the Lasik treatment surgery, the eyes will be diluted with an alcohol solution to make the surgery process easier. As soon as the tissue of the cornea is loosened and spinned aside the doctor will be able to operate the tissue just below the top layer. The surgery will ensure that the top layer has been replaced giving you enhanced vision.

With the lasik surgery, the cornea of your eyes will be examined to determine how thick it is. Excessive layering of the cornea will be removed by a computerized tool so that the doctor can remove the flap and perform the surgery on your eyes. The doctor will put back the cornea after reshaping it. The light refraction in the eyes is brought down in order to increase the vision.

There need not be any kind of doubt in your mind to get the lasik or laser eye surgery done. There have been so many people that have benefited from getting this surgery and their eye sight has been either completely or mostly improved. There are many stars and actresses that you can research on the web that have had vision problems and went through a laser surgery procedure with great results. You can either try and find out more information or just seek the advise of your eye surgeon. The more information is acquired about it the better a person will feel about undergoing it. As the time passes by there is improvement in the laser eye surgery so you need not think anymore about it.

Some notes of choosing laser surgery

24 May

Many students want to be able to have laser surgery to remove his glasses, so that they can have a better looking. However, due to limited funds, so often, young people are unfamiliar with the technical quality of the price between the two. In fact, many people want the surgery, and even surgery is not clear how the same thing.

What is the excimer laser surgery

Eye Dr Wong pointed out that the use of excimer laser surgery is an excimer light, precise cutting the cornea, thus changing the eye’s refractive power, the vision returned to normal. The technology introduced to China has been ten years, brought light to many patients. Currently on the market to use more LASIK and LASEK, the former as “in situ keratomileusis”, which is the “subepithelial keratomileusis.” The latest ORK, refers to “customized ablation in laser surgery,” that is a “tailored” approach, cutting programs more carefully, so prices are more expensive than the previous two. However, these are the same basic mechanism of operation, namely, by cutting a certain thickness of the cornea to complete, so the higher the degree of myopia, the more cutting the cornea, the lower the security operation.

Individual hospitals claimed laser surgery, “immediate, no side effects, no rebound.” In this regard, experts say it is misleading to consumers, the scope of laser surgery, there are strict requirements, not everyone can do.

Not everyone is suitable for surgery

Dr Wong said, usually require surgery over the age of 18, less than 1500 degrees myopia, astigmatism less than 600 degrees, and no other eye disease to surgery. Some myopic cornea itself is very thin, laser surgery can not be myopic, but also glaucoma, keratoconus eyes and so sick, and potential inoperable. In general, myopic laser surgery in China is quite mature now, and success of the procedure, laser surgery depends on the specific operation of medical equipment and technology. Therefore, asking price is appropriate in the same time, look for the best equipment and medical surgical unit’s experience and so on. In general, to a large hospital surgery is relatively secure, because the surgery program, such as preoperative examination will be in a more professional and detailed. The clinic may be for a few non-standard benefit, and conceal the test results, and even surgery is not suitable for the surgery, so that greatly increased the risk of surgery.

Do not just look at the price

Currently, the market price of laser surgery also vary widely, from 2,000 yuan to 8,000 per month, the difference Where is it? Experts said that a 400 excimer equipment needs over a million dollars, with each operation and the disposable supplies, Even the cost of 2,000 yuan is not enough. In order to reduce the cost of individual hospitals, it is possible to use second-hand medical equipment, re-use blades, omitted part of such examination, the patient lay hidden.

Finally,recommend you an article written by an expert,it is Expert’s view of laser surgery. I hope that you will like it.

Do you know the new technology of surgery laser?

6 May

The world is changing all the time,all change very quickly.In the medical field, technology is update faster and faster.Today, the subject I want to talk about is the surgery laser.Have you ever heard of it?It is a newly  wide range of technical applications.Now let’s come to get to know about it.

It is said that laser was first used for surgical and therapeutic purposes since early 1960s. Over many years of scientific research, laser technology and equipment has rapidly developed and advanced. Laser technology is now widely-employed in surgeries such as laser eye surgery and cosmetic laser surgery, cancer laser surgery and so on.And it may be used to the other fields in the future.

Unlike conventional surgery, laser surgery uses laser light source as a replacement for a scalpel. Types of laser light source that are commonly-used are carbon dioxide, pulsed dye and yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) lasers. Each laser light beam appears with unique colour. Type of laser used in a surgery is closely related to the nature of the surgery and the colour of targeted tissue.

Laser beam emits heat to destroy targeted dead or ill tissues. Similarly, in soft tissue laser surgery, laser vaporizes soft tissue which is highly rich in water. Apart from cutting tissues, laser surgery can also be used to prevent or reduce bleeding from blood vessels. In addition, it is performed to cure skin swelling and removes tattoo, hairs, wrinkles and birthmarks. Besides these, it is often employed to remove brain or liver tumours with as lightest damage and scarring as possible.

What’s more, laser surgery has proven to be remarkably efficient in killing tumour cell and controlling its rate of growth. Laser surgery is also useful in sealing nerve endings in order to minimize post-surgery pain. Another common application is laser eye surgery. The most popular technique amongst all types of laser eye surgeries is known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Similar to normal surgical vision corrective procedure, LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea and treats near, far-sighted and other vision problems. This provides an alternative for people who are trying to get rid of contact lens and spectaculars.One of my friend wearing contact lens is the benefit of the technology.

But you do not think that it just has advantages.Every surgery has its own risks and inevitable consequences. This applies to laser surgery is no exception. There are possibilities that it may cause infection, pain, bleeding, changing of skin colour and incomplete cure of illness.

Looking at the advantages of laser surgery, it is still worth a try. One of the significant advantages is that patient’s recovery period after surgery is generally shorter. Yet, the outcome is comparably with that of conventional surgery. For some cases, the recovery period for patient is even almost negligible.

This a A brief introduction of surgery laser, how do you think of it.Let’s look forward to the advanced technology together.
