Pilots and LASEK 2006-11-05 14:56:00 Pilots and LASEK You want to get rid of glasses because it doesn't fit with your lifestyle. Maybe you're a commercial pilot and have developed thin corneas as well as myopia. Can you have LASEK to save your career? Nidek Laser Technolas Laser Ladar Laser Allegretto Laser Intralase Laser Hyperion Laser NearVision CK Visx Laser Mel 80 Laser Esiris Laser Laser Scan LSX PhasikLasik LinksAll aviation professionals would argue that, LASEK vs. LASIK debates aside, you need to fully heal before you can fly. Also, if you're hoping for 20/20 vision, aim higher: Pilots need 20/16 or 20/10 vision. Fortunately, with custom LASIK, LASEK and the new Wavefront-guided lasers, you have a good chance of achieving 20/16 or even 20/10 vision. Some LASEK eye surgery patients, or pilots who have had PRK, complain of reduced vision in low light conditions. Still, if you hope to pilot an F-16, you're better off having LASEK eye surgery than LASIK, since Uncle Sam won't allow LASIK patients to fly--the exc Read more:Pilots
Lasik eye surgery is growing more popular on a daily basis! 2006-11-04 22:15:00 LASIK eye surgery is growing more popular
on a daily basis as the cost for improving your eyesight through laser vision correction surgery continues to drop. However many people are still not sure how much LASIK costs and exactly what procedures are covered by your payments. As you will soon see the cost for LASIK is dependant on a variety of different factors to include the state and city that you currently reside or seek treatment in and how extensive your surgery becomes or is required. Perhaps the single biggest cost could be associated with which LASIK specialist you choose to perform the vision correction surgery on your eyes.

LASER EYE SURGERY - SO FAR SO GOOD By Kirk Mulatz 2006-10-23 03:50:00 Hi here is a recent article by Kirk Mulatz regarding Lasik Eye Surgery:Nidek Laser Technolas Laser Ladar Laser Allegretto Laser Intralase Laser Hyperion Laser NearVision CK Visx Laser Mel 80 Laser Esiris Laser Laser Scan LSX PhasikLasik LinksOver half of the American population requires some degree of vision correction.[1] Eyeglasses and contact lenses remain the most common tools to restore proper eyesight but they are sometimes inconvenient. Not surprisingly, laser refractive surgery is becoming a popular option in vision correction for many people. Each year over a million Americans have a trained professional shine a high-powered laser in their eyes at a cost of $1500 to $2500 per eye.[1-3] The procedure is quick and almost painless, the recovery time is surprisingly short, and the results are nothing short of a miracle; however, nothing comes without a price. Laser eye surgery is relatively new and we are still in the process of determining the short- and long-term effects of this

LASIK risks include a variety of complications, and generally resemble the risks taken with any surgery. Many LASIK risks are directly related to the skill and experience of the operating surgeon, including LASIK risks such as under- or over-treatment, vision loss, and complications like haloes or poor night vision.
LASIK risks, while occurring in the minority of LASIK operations (and generally short-lived) are worth considering. Some LASIK risks are serious and can be permanent, such as blindness. Patients with pre-existing conditions have more LASIK risks and all patients should be screened for conditions such as severe astigmatism that can increase LASIK risks. Patients who suspect that they may have higher odds for certain types

Really the Lasik consultation is a chance for you the potential lasik patient to get a feel for the center you are visiting. The appointment usually lasts from 15 to 30 minutes depending on how busy that particular center is that day. Some centers will keep to an organized spaced out schedule where each potential lasik patient is seen on time while other centers will have a waiting room jam packed full of people who will sometimes wait up to over 1 hour to be seen by a patient counselor. It is not uncommon to also have customers walk out due to really long wait times. When your name is called you will meet with a Patient Counselor who really is a salesperson.
