The Magic Of Laser Vision Correction
It almost seems surreal. You walk into your doctor's office wearing your glasses or contact lenses, you receive numbing drops, and within a few minutes, your vision has been restored to what it was when you were 20 years old. You can walk out of the doctors' surgery in half an hour, leaving your contacts and glasses behind! With Lasik vision correction most people can say goodbye to glasses forever.It's amazing to imagine that a cool laser can actually change the shape of the cornea in your eyes. However that's just what it does. The doctor will lift a small microscopic flap from your cornea and direct the laser beam to actually reshape the cornea so that light can be reflected more effectively.
What this does is allow the eye to see properly again, eliminating the need for glasses or contacts.Laser vision correction is very popular among actors who don't like to be seen on screen wearing glasses. It is also a very common procedure for sports people and athletes, particularly those relying heavily on their eyesight... golfers and shooters for example.It is important to find a doctor who will take the time to explain the procedure in full, and answer all your questions. Some questions that you may like to ask include:1. What percent of patients achieved uncorrected visual acuity?2.
How long has the surgeon been performing refractive surgery? Should be at least 3 years3. How many laser procedures has the surgeon performed? Should be over 5004. How many operations has the surgeon performed similar to yours? Should be at least 1005. Has the surgeon ever had his malpractice insurance denied?6. Has your surgeon ever had their license to practice medicine revoked?While these may seem to be very direct and possibly even rude questions, just remember, this doctor is about to perform very invasive surgery on your eyes.First performed about 1985, lasik surgery has certainly come a long way! What is now an outpatient procedure has opened up a whole new world of clear vision for those who wish to use it.
It's important to take extra special care with one's eyes after the surgery, so that the risk of infection or any possible complication can be kept to an absolute minimum..

So if you are struggling for a great idea, and you are lucky enough to be shopping for a beer enthusiast, here are some ideas that will surely be appreciated.
A "Crazy Shirts" beer shirt
Okay, so at first another beer shirt seems like a pretty unoriginal idea.
One that would be best suited for your favorite college student to wear at the next beer party.
But this small company from Hawaii has a wonderful new spin on the beer logo shirt.
Not only does their wide selection of fun logos put beer on the shirt, there is beer in the shirt.
These t-shirts are actually dyed in beer,...

Trouble Sleeping? Colored Glasses Cure Insomnia
University Heights, OH (ContentDesk) March 23, 2006 -- Half of Americans claim they dont sleep well. Artificial light from lamps, TV or computer screens in use in the hours before bedtime may be the major source of the sleep problem. It is well known that exposing the eyes to light prevents the pineal gland from making melatonin, the sleep hormone. Nerve fibers run from the eyes to the pineal gland and control when it produces melatonin and other hormones.
It has only been knows for several years that not all colors of light cause the suppression of melatonin.
It is the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum that prevents melatonin production. This means that light bulbs can be made that do not eliminate melatonin secretion by coating them with filters that remove the blue rays that interfere with sleep. TV and computer screens may also be fitted with filters that remove the blue light that is creating sleep problems. An even more practical way to avoid the sleep...

Choosing contact lenses
Many people are switching to the freedom and convenience of contact lenses. If you're thinking of switching from glasses to contact lenses, here are often several questions to ask:
Question: Why would I want to switch from glasses to contact lenses?
Contact lenses can be a lot more work than glasses because they require to be cleaned and disinfected periodically. However, contact lenses allow you to wear sunglasses, if you want. They are also ideal for people who want to play sports but whose glasses could potentially be damaged during play.
Question: What kind of contact lenses are there?
There are different kinds of contact lenses. You can choose soft contact lenses or hard contact lenses.
Hard contact lenses need to be worn regularly in order to keep your eyes used to the shape and feel of the lens. But you can't wear hard lenses for too long at one time because some hard lenses are non-permeable and do not allow oxygen...

What Does It Take To Get A Multifocal Contact Lens?
What Does It Take To Get A Multifocal Contact Lens?
Honestly, what does it take to get into a pair of multifocal contact lenses? I know they're used for correcting the effects of astigmatism and presbyopia. I happen to know a bit about multifocal vision correction in general--and I should. After all, my father is named Benjamin Franklin (no, really) and Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals. But my experience with multifocal contact lenses has been rather limited, despite my best efforts. Even direct questions to my optometrist failed to produce any results.My Life in Technicolor Glasses
I have a long personal history of vision correction.I got my first pair of glasses when I was eight years old. It was a fate I couldn't avoid, with both my parents...

Free Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are a good substitute for bulky glasses that keep getting misplaced all the time. Even though there has been a dramatic evolution of newer, classier, and more stylish glasses frames, more and more patients are leaning towards using contacts lenses presently.
Contact lenses are expensive compared to regular glasses that are sometimes a onetime investment. Disposable contacts or even permanent contacts need to be changed either once day or a week or in matter of months. Also, they must be cleaned daily with solution and the eyes must be protected against dryness by using eye drops.
All these as a package are costlier than glasses.
Many hospitals and charity organizations arrange free eye check up campaigns where they give out free contact lenses instead of glasses. Some of them provide free check ups that are excluded from the lenses price. Also, some opticians give the offer of free lenses with a paid check up, which can help in reducing...
