 It happens to everyone sooner or later:You can't read a book unless you hold it at arm's length. You have to ask a friend to help you peruse a menu. Oliver Besnoin noticed his vision was headed south the day the stock market data he obsessively watches scroll across his computer screen was simply too small to read. Even so, he balked at wearing bifocals. "I was not ready for that. That's not me," says the 47-year-old former fashion model, who races motorcycles in his spare time. CK is not cheap-it costs up to $2,500 and is not covered by insurance. Unlike LASIK, which uses a laser to slice and reshape the cornea, CK doesn't involve cutting (see box). Instead, a tiny probe applies radio waves in a circular pattern just below the surface of the eye. The radio waves act like a belt reshaping the cornea into a perfect circle, improving its contour and allowing light to focus properly on the back of the eye.

Monday, June 29, 2009Quality Eye Care Guidelines - Los Angeles Corrective Eye Surgeon Dr. Robert Maloney
A few Important tips from LASIK Eye Correction Surgeon Robert K. Maloney, MD of Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Maloney reminds those seeking eye correction surgery not to be fooled by fancy advertisements about a particular laser center. It's important to choose the doctor and not the laser center. Finding out which doctor will perform the actual procedure should be a priority, along with discovering the doctor's qualifications. The doctor should have at least 5,000 LASIK surgeries under his or her belt. What a doctor doesn't know, can and will hurt you. It's also important that you know the doctor's surgery complication rates. Dr. Maloney stresses that if they don't tell you, it's time to find another doctor. Top surgeons have a 3 in 1,000 complication rate. Read more tips from Dr. Maloney at Eye Surgery USA.

Thursday, June 25, 2009Regular Eye Exams A Must - Eye Surgery USA's Ask An Expert
Eye Doctors are used to hearing, "I can see clearly - why do I need an eye exam?" You might be surprised at the answer. A complete eye exam is more than just updating your prescription for glasses or contacts. Your eye examination by an ophthalmologist consists of a series of tests to assess the overall health of your eyes. In the check-up, your doctor checks for eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetes, hypertension, retinal detachments, etc.* As always, regular check-ups are the best way to ensure healthy eyes, so be sure to see your Eye Doctor regularly.
