Eye Treatments and Informations

Treatment for eye disease is generally less expensive. Treatment for eye problems is possible, but can be extremely painful. Now, thanks to chemical physics, there is a new laser technology, called PASCAL, can treat patients in just five minutes, and virtually pain-free. Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy.

Proper eye health care can help a person, by preventing major eye problems. A diet, rich with vitamin A such as green leafy vegetables, carrot, broccoli, egg, cheese, butter, fish and milk, can remain the sparkle and vision of eyes for longer period, as vitamin A is necessary for proper functioning of eye. Proper hydration is necessary for you to maintain a healthy skin. Thus the orange oil used in anti aging eye cream incites the metabolism of the skin cells while also acting as a powerful antiseptic.

Laser eye treatments are virtually painless. Some patients experience mild pain post-operatively for no more than a few days, but that pain is easily controlled with over the counter pain medications and/or eye drops. Laser eye surgery is amongst the simplest of surgical treatments available anywhere. It is now the most popular form of elective procedure in the world with more than twenty million treatments carried out so far, over half a million in Britain alone. Laser iridotomy 'opens the angle' by producing a small hole or holes, usually less than 0.5 mm, in the iris. This is accomplished with the argon or YAG laser, depending on several variables, such as the cause of the event, prior surgery on the eye.

LASIK (Laser in-situ Keratomileusis) is used to correct or reduce moderate to high levels of nearsightedness (myopia), astigmatism and farsightedness (hyperopia). The traditional LASIK procedure is relatively simple: a keratome is used to gently create a flap in the cornea.LASIK is one type of laser eye surgery that is commonly performed for the correction of myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), and astigmatism (when light is bent more in one axis than another). LASIK surgery is generally performed using the VISX Star S4 CustomVue excimer laser system with Active Track to ensure that our patients receive state-of-the-art treatment with wavefront technology. LASIK is a vision correction procedure that also reshapes the cornea, thereby restoring your vision. The recuperation of vision with LASIK is extreme quick (sometimes immediate) and this is why it has become so popular
