Where PARK is performed, the best outcomes are achieved for myopic eyes with associated astigmatism not exceeding 1.5 diopters. As higher corrections are attempted, the outcome becomes less predictable although satisfactory results are often achieved for moderate myopia and astigmatism.

H-PRK is the most recent form of surface-based laser vision surgery. It is generally used for low degrees of of hyperopia (farsightedness) as the procedure is still in its infancy. However, early results look promising.

The three PRK procedures outlined above are all performed in a very similar manner. Tissue immediately below the thin layer of corneal surface cells (epithelium) is rubbed away to reshape the cornea during a painless procedure. The sole difference between them is the pattern created on the cornea. LASIK vision surgery, by contrast, slices a thin, hinged flap from the top of the cornea and is used for higher corrections.

The benefits of PRK vision surgery.

PRK does not involve the creation of a hinged corneal flap which is a very exacting procedure. As a result, PRK is associated with fewer complications than LASIK surgery.

The complications, however, in LASIK can be serious and lead to permanent loss of best corrected vision if the corneal flap is incompletely reseated or damaged in any way.

Following PRK laser surgery minor symptoms are quite common in the first few months, but soon disappear altogether. However, problems like halo and distorted vision (now less common with the introduction of larger diameter treatment zones), or severe haze and scarring, which can result in permanently affected vision, only affect around 1-2% of patients.

In order to be UNFORGETTABLE, you must have your own philosophy. A lens. A paradigm. A system. A unique method or expertise unlike anyone else in your industry.I call this a “School of Thought,” and it all started when my best friend, mentor and former 10th grade English teacher, William Jenkins, once asked me an extremely powerful question:If everybody did exactly what you said, what would the world look like?When you find the answer to that question, you've got your philosophy. When you find your philosophy, you've got your uniqueness. And when you find your uniqueness, you become That Guy.The best p

Corporate Values - Before You Get Them Out in The Open...
Defining corporate values is a useful exercise. It is part of the communication process where you invest in alignment of teams. Even though different teams or departments will each have their own tasks and responsibilities, you want them to share some same principles. For example;“We are ...to please our customers...without them nothing else matters.” Corporate values should be balanced yet communicate a certain direction, so they should be selective. You should select four to six of such corporate values. Three would be a minimum to be able to balance attention; more than six would mean that your company doesn

Blogging for Traffic and Dollars
As blogging becomes more mainstream an opportunity to capitalize on both traffic and dollars for the savvy blogger is getting larger by the day. The latest figures show that every second two new blogs are being created. For some that may seem like unbearable competition while for others they see it as an inexpensive way to secure on line real estate. With well over 60 million people blogging each day the land grab is on. Because of the relatively inexpensive cost of entry it is one internet business that anyone can start and with a little luck be in business in a matter of hours. In short the economies of scale make blogging accessible t

Press Releases and the Internet
Press releases are written news or articles that tell of something new about a firm,s products or services. This is also not only about businesses alone but also tells of important news and updates that are happening daily. Press releases are aimed at getting the media,s attention, obtaining publicity and hoping it receives a favorable response.Contents of a Press ReleaseA good press release should have a catchy title to attract the attention it needs from the media. The title should also be relevant to the content, a short summary so to speak. The introduction of the press release must answer the basic ques

Anisometropia (a difference in focus between the two eyes after one eye only has been treated) is more marked for patients who undergo LASIK surgery for higher levels of myopia. The difference in focus might be quite marked and make driving unsafe.

Those patients with moderate myopia who cannot wear contact lenses might well consider PRK instead. Their symptoms of anisometropia may well be less pronounced between the treatment of the first and second eyes.

The drawbacks of PRK vision surgery.

A PRK procedure generally requires a lengthy period between the first and second treatments of between 6 and 12 months. In LASIK, on the other hand, stabilization occurs earlier than after PRK and retreatment can typically go ahead between 1 and 3 months after the primary treatment.

As the period between primary and retreatment is a lengthy one in PRK, so several months need to elapse before 20/20 results are achieved, and then eye glasses may have to be worn.

While the actual laser treatment is usually pain-free, most patients will experience mild to moderately severe eye pain lasting up to 36 hours. Pain killers are prescribed for what is, in effect, a large abrasion on the cornea. LASIK is relatively pain-free.

What to expect from PRK vision surgery.

Before going ahead with a PRK procedure, your eyes will be assessed by an eye surgeon which will include computerized corneal topography capable of revealing otherwise undetectable irregularities in the cornea.

Such a detailed mapping of the cornea will allow the surgeon to remove tissue to a pattern pre-determined by the patient's own refraction.

Before this corneal tissue is removed, the epithelium (thin layer of surface ce
