If you’ve been following this blog, you would have heard about the Epi-K Advanced Surface Treatment – the cutting-edge LASIK procedure that completely removes the need for flap-cutting. But for most eye doctors out there, Epi-K is nothing more than a novelty, and flap-cutting is a norm.
This could actually deter quite a few prospective LASIK [...]

LASIK eye correction surgery can certainly cure myopia by reshaping the cornea. But if both you and your wife have always been victims of a strong case of myopia, even after both of you undergo LASIK, your children could still very well inherit it as genetics actually play a large role in myopia.
But that really [...]

Hello, and welcome back to Lasik World. As we announced in the old blog, Lasik World switched over to WordPress (which you should be seeing now), due to problems with the is-there.com domain, as well as the recurring problems with Movable Type.
Those who have subscribed to the feed should not experience any difficulties as the [...]

Earlier this week, I featured Lens Replacement Surgery (LRS) – a surgical treatment used to treat lens disorders. So, when a NBC 4 article came out on presbyopia, and how LASIK cannot do anything about it (since LASIK treats corneal problems, and not lens problems), I figured that we could use it to remind everybody [...]

We actually already have an article on this non-surgical treatment program, but I guess there is little harm featuring it again. What we’re talking about here is Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), where two brands have been approved: Paragon CRT and Vision Shaping Treatment (VST) by Bausch & Lomb.
In this article, WOWT reiterates the simple concepts [...]

According to a recent press release by a New York eye surgeon, the ReSTOR® Lens Replacement Surgery has a 95% success (in correction) rate – on par at least, with any competing eye correction surgical procedure, e.g. LASIK eye correction surgery. But before we go any further with this statistic, let’s delve into the basics [...]

This must be one of the weirdest pieces of news I’ll ever report on. Anyway, let me get back to the point. Recently, a guy (Ryan Phillips-Page) proposed to his girlfriend during a post-LASIK eye exam. Yes, it was a made-for-tv moment as reporters and photographers were all over the exam room.
For your information, [...]

The recently released results of the Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive Health-Care Poll provide some interesting results (relative to any sort of LASIK news you’d normally read at least).
For one, we’re told that the percentage of Americans that underwent LASIK eye correction surgery has increased marginally from 2% in 2004 to 3% in 2005. This [...]

We’ve heard about bladeless LASIK eye correction surgery as an alternative to traditional LASIK which requires the use of a blade – called a microkeratome – to cut a flap in the cornea to allow the correcting laser (excimer laser) to reshape the eye. But even this bladeless procedure requires the use of a laser, [...]

As most of us well know, relatively high-end procedures such as LASIK eye correction surgery are generally not covered by insurance, or any form of health benefits scheme. So, it was interesting to see Metropolitan Business Council (MBC)’s new free, prescription drug discount card offer discounts on LASIK (and of course, a wide range of [...]
