26 AprWhat justifies the wide price range differences in laser vision correction (lasik) surgery?

Ron H asked:

I was quoted $999 from someone with a pretty good deal of experience but have seen prices to $5000 for a friend of mine. And in a related topic, is the all laser version better, worse or roughly the same as having the eye incision made by blade?

25 AprPreventive methods: when to start and how long to continue

1. When should I start wearing a plus lens and/or begin using Bates

2. How long should I use Prentice/Bates methods?

You should always monitor your Snellen, and always ensure that you pass the LEGAL line on your Snellen — which is reading the 20/40 line both eyes open. If you find that your Snellen is “going down” as Alex discovered, when he got to -1.5 diopters (about 20/70), then you begin using Bates/Prentice methods.

You use these methods until your Snellen again clears to better-than 20/40, and perhaps 20/30, then 20/25.

These agencies will take some ugly assed, unproven, dangerous
procedure – like cutting off a flap of someone’s eye.

LASIK is far from unproven or dangerous. Extensive animal studies were done before any human trials were attempted. Human trials on blind eyes were done before any clinical human trials were done. The risks and benefits are well known and I can tell someone what the odds of every risk is and the odds of a successful outcome. I can tell a
person if they are a good or poor candidate for the procedure

22 AprLaser eye surgery

It’s funny. I have many dealings with marketing agencies and I’ve been inside a few. I’ve seen those lines of young digital designers in front of screens with big earphones clamped to their heads while they pretty up some image on the screen. And yet…

These agencies will take some ugly assed, unproven, dangerous procedure – like cutting off a flap of someone’s eye. They’ll give it a trendy name like ‘Ultralase’, insert a few cute models, lots of white space (meaning: science, cleanliness) and: VOILA!

A shocking, medieval procedure resembles a modern, chic, elegant path to full optical clarity.

21 AprNear-vision lens effects on nearwork-induced transient myopia

Kenneth J Ciuffreda, Mark Rosenfielda and Margaret A Gillard

Abstract:

Near work-induced transient myopia (NITM), a lenticular-based pseudo myopia, is commonly found in myopic teenagers and young adults.  It has been speculated that its presence may be a factor in nearwork-related symptoms and in the development of permanent myopia. Thus, the differential effect of various powered near-vision lenses on NITM was investigated.

Nine young adults monocularly-viewed a near target (25cm) for 20 min through either a +4, +2, or 0 diopter (D) near lens, or a 0.5-mm pinhole, over their habitual distance prescription. Monocular distance refraction was objectively assessed immediately before and after the near task. Decreasing the accommodative stimulus reduced the blur-driven adaptive aftereffect. Only with the 0 D accommodative stimulus condition was NITM not produced.
