How colorblindness is affecting the eye?

2011-04-19T09:04:00.000-07:00

Color blindness is usually caused by inherited or trauma. It may be blindness after a traffic accident. The book of homochromy test could tell the differences between them. Colour blindness affects your ability to discrimination of colors, usually red and green. Trauma would lead to staining when seeing. You can not lose your Visual acuity strong when you have color blindness, you see just different with others. By example, normal are red, you feel like a different color, which dimmer more. This will lead to traffic accidents when you could differentiate light sometimes yellow red or green. It is dangerous. In some countries, people with color blindness were not allowed to drive.

Avez-vous besoin d'une approbation de médecins de porter des lunettes de lecture ?

2011-04-19T09:01:00.000-07:00

No, you could buy for yourself. If you are vision, if your reading distance was 33 cm, you simply buy a glasses with + 3.00 diopters D. If your reading distance was 40 cm, to buy a pair of glasses with + 2.5 diopters.

If you're myopia or hyperopia, simply add that your usual requirements of your reading add diopters. Then the result is your reading glasses prescriptions.

Is there a way to know if a contact lens is old by looking at?

2011-04-19T08:59:00.000-07:00

You should be careful when things happened as follows:
1. If you feel soft wear your usual contact lenses
2. you could not withstand itch when
3. the excretion is more than usual,
then your contact lens is old and need for change. If you do not change, they will be damaging your cornea and make keratitis due to oxygen deficiency.

What to do about it inflated sclera?

2011-04-19T08:56:00.001-07:00

Inflated sclera is a kind of disease that internal tissue of the eye projection to the sclera more thin and accompanied by local color change. The form of the disease is similar to keratonus. The reasons causing swollen sclera always are: trauma, high myopia, glaucoma surgery, scleratitis, Sclerotinia presbyopia surgery and the tumor. If your doctor told you have inflated sclera, surgery may be necessary.

I went for LASIK surgery about 5 weeks ago and although I am pleased with being able to function without contacts or glasses, I am not completely thrilled with the procedure. I had done a lot of research on LASIK and thought I knew what I was getting into. I had spoken with numerous friends and family members who had had the surgery and all had excellent results with no complications or issues afterwards. I had read about some of the side effects but unfortunately did not really delve into the negative stories.

I had monovision correction where one eye is under corrected for reading and the other eye is corrected for distance. I've had no problems adjusting to the difference in my eyes. My left eye, set for reading, is pretty good and I am able to read without reading glasses (I am over 40 years old and was starting to need not only contacts and glasses for distance but also reading glasses.)

My eyes feel pretty OK for the most part and the surgery and recovery were uneventful. A little discomfort in the right eye for a couple hours but nothing major. However, my distance vision in the right eye has never been really great since the surgery. When my doctor first checks my vision, I can barely make out even the 20/100 line as it is all blurry. I can read nearly perfectly. The doctor then installs an eye drop in each eye, and for about 15 seconds, I can see the 20/20 line on the eye chart and my vision declines fairly rapidly over the next few seconds to barely being able to see the 20/70 line. This was the same effect that I had seen at home - when I use eye drops, I'm OK for a few seconds, but then my distance vision rapidly declines.

My doctor says that my eyes are dry and has told me to use drops. They don't really feel dry, except in the morning but since I can see better with the eye drops, I continue to use them. I currently go through a box of Optive Refresh drops in about 2-3 days. I've tried other brands but the Optive drops seem to work best. I literally need to have the little plastic vials with me all the time!

The downside is that, while I used to be able to see with contacts or glasses and to see very well, I can now barely manage in the city, or a large store or to see my child on the playground! Thankfully, I don't have a car or need to drive but if I did, I am not sure I could drive with my vision as it is. My doctor keeps telling me to be patient but I have now read more information about dry eyes after LASIK and I am worried that this will continue for a long time and perhaps forever. I am taking omega 3 and flaxseed oil 2x a day and now using Restatis 2x a day to help with the dry eyes and to improve my vision.

I regret having spent over $4,000 on the LASIK surgery as my vision with contacts was great and I had no problems after over 30 years with them. I thought that it would be a great option to have LASIK and finally not have to worry about contacts or glasses and be able to swim without contacts/goggles. I also thought it was a good time to do the LASIK as I am not currently working (I'm looking for a job in a new city) and I had the time to recover.....now I wish I'd used the money for anything but LASIK. I've traded the "hassle" of contacts for the "hassle" of dry eyes and blurry vision.

Buyer beware.....

Femtosecond LASIK - my story

Join Date: Mar 2011Posts: 1 Hugs: 0Hugged 0 Times in 0 Posts Thanks: 0Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Hi!

This is my story of my femtosecond LASIK eye surgery. If you have any questions, please ask. I will update this thread as time goes by.

About a month and a half ago I decided to call up a company that is leading in Scandinavia in laser eye surgery. I wanted to know if I would be a candidate to have the surgery or not, since I had been thinking about getting it for quite a few years but it's very expensive. If I wasn't a candidate I wanted to know so I wouldn't have to think about the possibility for the rest of my life :-P
When I called them I thought I would get a consultation the same week. I actually had to wait almost a month to get the consultation booking.

The consultation was done March 3rd. The doctor read and checked my eyes in lots of different machines (5-7 different ones) and also had me try to read the letters on the wall with different correcting glasses. He told me about the different procedures and the pros and cons of each one. He told me that the readings showed that I my (I don't know the word in english, cornea / epithelia?) was thick enough so I could choose whichever of the procedures I'd like, but he would say that FS-Lasik would be quicker and the healing is much less painful, while the risk of infection is smaller when having a LASEK.
I'm not a big fan on pain, but I'm very careful and won't put myself in any unnecessary risk and always follow doctors orders - so I said I would prefer a FS-Lasik. We talked some more on what my expectations were and what would be appropriate to expect and what would happen if my expectations were not met. What would happen if there were complications. He was very nice and explained everything in a simple way yet detailed, and answered all my questions in a fullfilling way.
I later booked a date to have the surgery on March 18th (today). He said if I wanted to back out I could at any point until the laser is on, and if I had any questions to call, email or visit them to have my questions answered.

In the time that followed I read a lot about other peoples experiences and watched a lot of videos on ******* about the different procedures as well as videos and stories about surgeries with complications. I had a couple of questions for the clinic and emailed them a few times and called them once and was satisfied with the answers I got.

Before the surgery I was not allowed to wear contacts for at least 3 days. On the day of surgery I wouldn't wear contacts, makeup of any kind, facial creams of any kind, or perfume.
I was told to have eat something before I came in to the clinic since I was going to be given a pill to relax and that the medicine wasn't good to take on an empty stomach. So I had a big breakfast this morning and then packed my sunglasses, put my hair in a ponytail and had curby grips to keep the hair away from my face since I was worried about getting hair in my eyes after the surgery. Then I went to the clinic.

When I came there I was given some information and a bag of eye drops (numbing eye drops, antibiotic eyedrops and tear substitute) and the pill to calm me down. I had some time to sit, take the pill, read through the material (I had gotten all this information before as well, so nothing new just making sure I remembered). After a while a girl came to go through the material with me to make sure I understood everything and could ask any questions about it if I had any. After about 20 minutes I was allowed to see the doctor. The doctor checked my eyes to see if there was any infection or anything else which would prevent the surgery. He also asked my about my nervousness since I had told a nurse I was very nervous today. He asked if I wanted something more to calm me down a bit more, and I said yes. I was given something fluid which worked emmediatelly. I was allowed to ask any questions, I had one about the method or tool to keep my eyelids open which was the thing that worried my the most. I know, strange how THAT one thing could have me worried....
Then I was walked to the operating room after putting on some bags over my shoes and a hat over my hair. I was layed on a bench much like the dentist chair but this one was completely flat. It had a place to rest the head but there was nothing else holding my head still. I had been told earlier that they might strap my head to the bed to prevent me from moving during the procedure. That was not done. I was told a couple of times to hold my chin up higher. They put some eyedrops in my eyes first and then put the "eye-lid-holding-thing" in which had me worried earlier. Looked kinda like a ring, or a very round part of ones glasses, which the doctor held close and then put upper and bottom eyelids just outside the ring. It didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and as soon as it was on I was given more numbing eyedrops. Then they put something they called a suction cup on my eye, which he explained previously would not feel at all in the eye, but there would be a big pressure around the eye. That was correct, there was a big pressure on the eyebrow and the highest part of my cheekbone. It was there for about maybe 20 seconds or something, while the femtosecond laser cut the flap in my eye. During this I couldn't see anything, it was just dark. It didn't feel uncomfortable just a big pressure on cheekbone and eyebrowbone. After that they removed this suction-thing and I would see but everything was distorted. It was kind of like looking through a glass or plastic piece which had dots all over on it, and then there was a red light on the other side. I could see tiny red dots in straight lines, many many many. Then the doctor lifted the flap. He used some kind of a tool but everything was so distorted that I didn't really see the tool even though it was right in front of my eye, and it just felt good when the flap was lifted cause then the distortion was gone and I could see -- but very very blurry. Now the red light was kinda everywhere, smeared out (the red light was one tiny little diod in reality). Now they said that they would do the actual laser correction. That it might smell a bit burnt (which I didn't feel!) and that it might feel uncomfortable cause I would have air blowing into the eye during the work with the laser. The air didn't feel uncomfortable. It didn't feel uncomfortable at all. First eye - the eye with the most myopia - was done in 3 very quick steps about 2-5 seconds each. I don't know exactly why they paused but they told me to remember to breathe :-)
Then the flap was layed back again and I was given eye drops that felt very cold and therefor very nice and the used something that looked like a tiny sponge to flatten the flap and put it in place.

Then they said that they would switch and do the other eye. The eye that wasn't operated on was covered by a piece of paper/bandage and tape. The other eye was the one with the least myopia and the actual laser correction on this eye only took one "part" at about 4-5 seconds. When they stopped and said that's it, now we're putting the flap back, I was so surprised it was so fast that I said "What, you're done already?" :-)

The whole time I was in the operating room was less than 10 minutes, of which half of that time was instructions on how to hold my head, and then to put the ring in that would hold my eyelids open. So less than 5 minutes total to actually operate the eyes.
I was then told to sit up and open my eyes and look around and tell them what to see. It felt like I had some kind of a milky lens in my eyes, everything was kind of whiteish, but I could already see that I saw everything more clearly than without glasses before.

I was walked to a room to rest for some time, they told me before about 15-30 minutes. While I was there my eyes started running a LOT, like I had had my heart broken by a boyfriend and cried my heart out. Tears running down my cheeks constantly. It was a dark room, but the door was open and the light was on in the hallway. I first sat quite close to the door but after just a few minutes I couldn't stand the light out there and moved further into the room. I was checked very often by a nurse or someone else and was given numbing eyedrops twice while I was there. I must have used half a pack of tissues to wipe my tears from my cheeks. It really really wasn't comfortable at all. I had thought the worst was over. It felt like I had a contact lens put in inside out. But not one lens, it felt like 20 lenses in each eye. I remember leaning forward and cupping my hands around my eyes to get the most darkness possible. The staff was very nice and helpful and during this time I called someone to come and pick me up. He came and sat down with me for quite a while, I think I sat there for about 40-50 minutes. I was then called in to see the doctor again and check my eyes. I had very much difficulty to open them at all, so he had to hold up my eyelids to check my eyes in the machine. He said everything looked okay and that the surgery had gone perfect.

I was then sent home.
REMEMBER TO TAKE SUNGLASSES WITH YOU! Don't take the browny one, take the darkest sunglasses you can possibly find!
When I walked out of the room I couldn't see where I was going because the lights were so bright I couldn't keep my eyes open whatsoever even behind sunglasses. My friend held my arm and walked my though subway and then to the car and drove me home. I only opened my eyes for a second to see where I put my feet in the escalator. When I got home I had already blacked out all the windows but it was still too bright and I locked myself in the bathroom which has no windows and sat there in the dark with the door shut. I took more numbing eye drops and felt really sorry for myself for about an hour in there. At that point I was probably having as much tears running for irritation in the eyes as I did because I was crying and being sad cause I didn't know how long this would last. After about an hour I got really tired and decided it would be worth it to go lay in the bed instead and have a blanket over my head. I did that and fell asleep for a little while. I woke up and my one eye felt really dry and I decided to take the tear drop replacement, one drop only in that eye. Did that and it emediately felt better. I fell back to sleep again and when I woke up again I had been in bed for about 4 hours. By then the pain/discomfort was almost gone and it just felt like my eyelids were really thick - which they really were and still are - and that they were heavy, very heavy. I got up, called my mom, my work and a friend. Then I stepped out on the balcony to check my vision. I would see the lamps in the windows of the house that's 50 meters away!! To put this in proportion - when I did my makeup next to the mirror and shut the "better eye" to do eyeshadow, everything used to be smudgy, unclear. When standing just 10 cm from the mirror! So to stand on the balcony and see the lamps in the windows was a really big thing for me.

I took the antibiotic eyedrops, waited five minutes and then took the tear drop substitute. I could sit by the computer as long as I didn't look at the screen. I could write to people looking at the keyboard but I couldn't see what they wrote back cause the screen was so bright, even when set to the lowest brightness.

After 2 more hours - 7 hours after surgery - I was able to look at the screen, watch a movie, chat with friends. I decided to go out and walk to the store to get something to eat. I had my sunglasses on but I didn't feel that they very necessary anymore, just more comfortable with them than without.

Now it's 12 hours after my surgery. My eyelids are swollen still but less than before. I'm taking my drops and I feel comfortable doing anything except sit with very bright lights. I have the lights on in this room, but not on the highest brightness.

Tomorrow I'm going to work, 24 hours after surgery. I've told my colleagues that I would probably like to do different kinds of things throughout the day. Not just sit by the computer, but not just talk to customers either. Change is good, I think. I feel like there won't be a problem as long as I can take my eyedrops every 2 hours.

Have any questions? Please ask.
I will update later on how it's going.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there anything i can do to help get past it. Also i have 3 air purifiers runnung in my home all the time. Does anyone think this constant air circulation has anything to do with the dryness?

They told her just keep using the drops because everyone will react different and it may not work on you. Then if you rub your eyes you can tear it. I would go back to the surgeon if you are allowed adjustments and see if anything can be done cuz I know I would be able to live with that.

Lasik surgery: the worst mistake in my life?

Did you ever have it done? I had my surgery in Feb 2011 and after 6 weeks I am at -2 on my right eye which is as they state "swollen". My left eye is not the greatest either. I think I made the worst mistake in my life. I am constantly dizzy if I move around.

Please tell me what you did and if it worked.

Sunshinehey sonnon....i knew about 2 days in that this was my biggest regret of my entire life, i was left with starbursts and halos that have not gone away or gotten better from day 1. throw in the dry eyes and the future unknown problems down the road make this a disaster of epic proportions. i do not have your dizzy issues but sometimes get eye headaches. do some research of lasik complications and you will find thousands of individuals that are suffering from this mess off a surgery. lastly, in january of this year the former head of the fda dr morris wexler who approved lasik devices and surgeries back in i believe 1997 is now petitioning the fda for immediate withdraw off all lasik devices and surgeries from all the complications. the irony of it all... good luck. keep us posted!

Strange Foggy Haziness in certain lighting?

Join Date: Jan 2007Posts: 5 Hugs: 0Hugged 0 Times in 0 Posts Thanks: 0Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts How long until the foggy haziness in certain lighting will go away?

I had Lasik on 3/23/11. The day of when I sat up I could barely read the clock on the wall.. Slept the whole night and woke up next day and I could see!even though it was still blurry. I noticed that outdoors I could see great but in my house and at the doc's office something about the lighting made it seem hazy or foggy.

They told me it was due to inflammation in my eyes and had me up my drops. I had 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 in the other.

Came in two days later using drops and vision still seemed the same to me. Strange haziness in certain lighting. Told me 20/20 in one eye now 20/30 in the other.They took pics of my eyes.

Over weekend took my drops and worried like crazy the haziness wouldnt go away. It seemed like it got a little bit better. Came in they said it was 20/20 in both eyes which was strange because I could barely read the line on the chart when I covered one of my eyes. Told me would follow up in three weeks.

Seems like its been getting slightly better. Each day is different however. One day I can see great in all lighting, the next not so great.

Today is one of those days. I woke up went to the gym came home and my vision is unbelievably blurry. I'm also having trouble seeing fine print. Does this have to due with exercising?

Is tis how it is with everyone. Fine one day, off the next? Does it have to do with the flap shifting?

I had to take a sleeping pill just to go to sleep. Today its better and the nurse said to use the preservative eye drops every half hour.

Ophthalmic SurgeonI previously used the Nidek system but found that the results were less than optimal in many patients. Since using the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System at Optical Express, I say with confidence that this technology is the best and out-performs any other system, including the Nidek.

Improve your vision with LASIK surgery and lens adopted

2011-04-13T05:17:00.001-07:00

you are a bear of millions of Americans like me who have always had a pair of glasses or contact lenses, you know, it can be a pain sometimes, and I know what would be good to see without light.

This used to be a dream, but now many people across the country are clearly visible for the first time without glasses or contact lenses with LASIK surgery, to help many patients.

LASIK was made today in the United States the most common refractive procedures. This is done by creating a small circular flap in the cornea of ??the eye. The surgeon folds the flap back hinged on the street, then remove some corneal tissue with an excimer laser. The excimer laser uses a beam of ultraviolet light to remove residual small cold precision of the cornea to reshape it. If the cornea is reshaped in the right way, it works better to light in the eye and retina and a much clearer, as they focus before.

This operation has become very popular because it has advantages over other forms of correction procedures vision any pain afterwards and usually a better view is reached within one day after the operation.

Myopia and hyperopia LASIK can benefit from both. The goal for people with myopia, the cornea to flatten steep for the hypermetropic, however, requiring a steeper cornea. Astigmatism can also be uneven, this type of surgery of the cornea in a normal smoothing easier.

One of the discouraging this method is that it costs money to do this surgery. The average price of each eye is about 1700, depending on who and where they choose to have the surgery performed, since it can be higher or lower. I think the question you should ask: "How is it to you to restore your vision?

Once finished, you need to stay in office for a while and once they are allowed to go home, was asked to take plenty of rest. It is very important not to try to touch or rub your eyes because this may result in the flap is displaced, which can cause many complications.

you can start feeling much better in a couple of hours, but still must rest, as well as his vision blurred.

Your doctor may also advise you to simply place it in the first week after surgery, because your eyes play an essential role in the balance and you try to rush things, you end up with more complications than n 'is not needed.

There are people who still wear glasses after surgery, but their limitation is not as strong. Later you may experience complications after surgery, and you may ask, what doctors call a "touch." Some of these complications include dry eyes, infection, eye irritation, eye roast, top irregular over / under correction.

If you have this procedure for your eyes to choose, be sure to choose a qualified surgeon to do so, and to leave their concerns about rest and reduce your chances of complications after surgery.

I hope this information is helpful and if you want more information about how to live a healthy life, then please, in which useful information to help you visit my website a healthy life in a healthy and long life to lead.
