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.

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.

What are the causes of Color Blindness and how does it present?

What is Color Blindness?


color.jpgThe first report on color blindness was written by the British chemist John Dalton who was himself afflicted with it. Your ability to see colors across the spectrum begins with your eyes ability to accurately distinguish the 3 primary colors; red, blue and green. Light enters the eye through the lens and passes through the transparent main body of the eye called the vitreous body. It then hits color sensitive cells called cones in the retina at the back of the eye. Chemicals in these cones distinguish among colors and send information through the optic nerve to the brain. If your cones lack one or more light sensitive chemicals you may see only two colors for example; either red and green or blue and yellow.

A new study just released shows that climate factors like temperature and humidity can affect LASIK surgery outcomes. Often, the patient has to come back in to get a touchup, to fine tune the vision correction.
