Good Pupil Diameter Key for Successful LASIK Surgery
Laser eye surgery, hugely successful for the great majority of patients, can fail if a subject’s pupils are too large.
Thus, a good eye doctor who wants to provide patients with LASIK surgery (short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) to correct faulty vision – including nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism – will carefully screen applicants for the procedure.

Expert Commentary: Michael Rosenberg, M.D. - 6/18/2009
 If one looks critically at headlights, streetlights, digital clocks or similar localized light sources at night, most individuals will be aware of some halos and starbursts whether they have had LASIK or not. These halos are ascribed to certain inherent imperfections (or aberrations) in the eye resulting in subtle vision issues that are not necessarily corrected by wearing glasses or contact lenses. In the dark, when the pupil is larger to let more light in, the light entering the eye passes through the aberrations, resulting in the halos and starbursts.
Modern laser surgery usually uses some type of “custom” treatment that attempts to eliminate or reduce aberrations in addition to reducing the patient’s near-sightedness or far-sightedness. The diameter of such “custom” treatments is usually about 8 mm. (The diameter of non-custom “conventional” treatment is about 6.5 mm). Even when receiving “custom” treatments patients are counseled to expect an increase in halos and starburst immediately after the procedure due to acute tissue changes and dryness. In most patients, the halos and starbursts will gradually decrease and stabilize at a level that is not disturbing. Persistent night vision phenomena may be due to a persistent refractive error (that is residual near-sightedness or far-sightedness) or new aberrations induced by the treatment. The former may be corrected with retreatment, the latter may or may gradually resolve. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Michael Rosenberg, M.D. - 6/18/2009)

LASIK Surgery Can Cause Dry Eye Syndrome
While LASIK eye surgery in most cases results in vision improvement to 20/20 or better, an occasional subject becomes affected by a chronic condition in which the eye has a problem with lack of lubrication.
This condition is known as dry-eye syndrome. It can affect those who have not undergone LASIK surgery, a procedure that is not recommended for such people. Screening by eye surgeons is supposed to exclude all dry-eye sufferers from LASIK, but some get through and often experience a worsened condition after surgery.

Dry eyes affect many people, whether or not they have had Lasik. It is more common as we age and is more frequent in people who have rheumatologic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and in people who have had chemotherapy for cancer.
In dry eyes, the glands that make tears no longer make enough lubrication to make the eyes comfortable. Some patients can no longer wear contact lenses; others find that their eyes feel dry, scratchy, and irritated. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Stuart Sondheimer, M.D. - 6/15/2009)

New Laser Eye Surgery Helps "Presbyopic" Patients
A new eye surgery technique has proven excellent at eliminating a common vision condition affecting most middle-aged and elderly people, a recent study showed.
The condition, known as presbyopia, starts to appear around age 40 and causes blurring in one’s near vision as the eye’s natural lens gradually loses its flexibility. A nearsighted person with presbyopia can’t see up close with his usual glasses or contact lenses, but is able to see nearby things clearly without them.

Blog Post: Richard Braunstein, M.D. April 28, 2009
What to Look for in a Laser Eye Surgeon. Laser Eye Surgery is one of the most remarkable advances in medicine care in the last 50 years. It has literally made us rethink how we approach heretofore untreatable eye conditions. It's hard to imagine that just a few years ago eye conditions such as near-sightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness were untreatable conditions. We all thought we were destined to live with impaired vision with for the rest of our lives As an ophthalmologist (eye doctor for short), I was trained to correct vision with the subtle use of optical lenses - in short, glasses.

Synchrotron X-Ray Research Being Used to Advance LASIK
British researchers using X-rays from a massive particle accelerator are investigating the human cornea and making discoveries that could help create the next generation of LASIK eye surgery – and even one day develop an artificial cornea.
Keith Meek, head of the Structural Biophysics Research Group at Cardiff University, and his colleagues have beamed special X-rays from the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) in Daresbury and the Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire onto both diseased and normal corneal samples to analyze the cornea’s structure of collagen protein fibers.

LASIK's Reality: Impermanent for Many
LASIK eye surgery effectively and safely corrects severe nearsightedness, the results lasting for at least 10 years – but a significant proportion of the procedures need to be redone during that time, a recent study revealed.
Moreover, only 40 percent of LASIK patients avoid the use of glasses altogether after surgery, and for a great many, there is some vision deterioration over the 10-year period, the researchers wrote in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. ( Read more about LASIK's Reality: Impermanent for Many)

LASIK Treatment Can Induce Cornea Clouding
While laser eye surgery typically results in miraculously restored vision, there are some cases in which the very center of the cornea clouds up and actually worsens vision.
That’s the bad news, according to a recent study done by a pair of Los Angeles ophthalmologists. The good news is that the opacification of the cornea dissipates on its own in a few months, and the vision problem it produces can be safely reversed with another laser surgery.

Strengthening Eye Collagen Fixes 2 Vision Disorders
Two little-known but related eye conditions, one stemming from LASIK vision-correction surgery, plunge sufferers into a world of blurriness and sensitivity to glare and light. But a novel development involving treatment with vitamin B2 drops and ultraviolet light, already approved in Europe, helps sufferers' vision improve.
The conditions, known as keratoconus and iatrogenic keratoconus (or ectasia), affect about one in 2,000 people. They are characterized by a weakening of the thin, transparent film (the cornea) on the surface of the middle of the eye, which eventually results in a cone-like bulge, progressively destroying vision. Corneal transplants used to be the only effective remedy, and the two disorders account for 15 percent of them. ( Read more about Strengthening Eye Collagen Fixes 2 Vision Disorders)
