Lasik Helps U.S. Retain Pilots, Astronauts

The natural human aging process is in a constant war with the U.S. military and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Aging has always degraded the vision of Air Force pilots, Navy divers and NASA astronauts - and this has made it difficult for the respective services to retain them.

The government has always feared that eyeglasses and contact lenses could be broken or dislodged in the course of the service members' often grueling work, threatening life, limb and government property in the process. Even with the advent of Lasik surgery, the fear didn't subside. (Read more about Lasik Helps U.S. Retain Pilots, Astronauts)

Choosing Between Traditional and Custom Lasik

Lasik eyesight-correction surgery, a phenomenal breakthrough when it was first approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration in 1995, has recently been trumped big-time by the innovation known as wavefront Lasik technology, which is some 25 times more precise than its older cousin.

The consumer still has both choices available today - the traditional versus the new custom technique - but there is an enormous difference in technology. (Read more about Choosing Between Traditional and Custom Lasik)

Vision Impairment Study

If you think you might need glasses, but don’t, you’re not alone.

According to new research in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there are millions of Americans with vision impairment.

The most common reasons for vision impairment, fortunately, are refractive errors--when the lense of the eye doesn’t focus the image sharply on the retina, the seeing part of the eye. That’s where glasses and contact lenses come in. But you have to wear them to correct your vision.

“I wear glasses but only when I am in class to see the board.” Natalie admits what happens when she doesn’t wear her glasses: “It is all blurry.”

Hopefully all Natalie is nearsighted--meaning, she can’t see far away. (Read more about Vision Impairment Study)

Early On-set Glucoma

Marina Virdone can’t imagine not being a school teacher. She says next to taking care of her own children, teaching is her second greatest love. But, three years ago, life as Marina knew it was about to change. Marina had developed a severe eye infection that eventually turned into glaucoma.

“I said, my God, I’m young and I have children. I can’t afford to go blind,” says Marina Virdone.

At the young age of 39, Marina was faced with the possibility of losing her eyesight if she didn’t seek glaucoma treatment. “I had always thought of it as a disease that affects the elderly,” says Marina. (Read more about Early On-set Glucoma)

VISUALLY IMPAIRED FIND MEDICINE LABELS TOO SMALL TO READ

74 year old Teresa Olender struggles to keep track of all of her medications.
“One is for the heart, one is for blood pressure, one is a water pill and the other one is for cholesterol,” says Teresa. Teresa’s problem is that she has poor eyesight, making it hard for her to the read the labels on her medicines. (Read more about VISUALLY IMPAIRED FIND MEDICINE LABELS TOO SMALL TO READ)

New Lasic

Lasik is a new procedure that borrows technology from laser keratotomy and radial keratotomy to correct near sightedness and astigmatism. To correct near sightedness, doctors try to change the way light is refracted through the eye. (Read more about New Lasic)

Myopia

Myopia and Hyperopia are terms for near sightedness and far sightedness. (Read more about Myopia)

Macula Degeneration

Age related macular degeneration or AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 in the western world. (Read more about Macula Degeneration)

Low Vision

There are many different conditions that can cause low vision and each condition affects sight in a different way. (Read more about Low Vision)
