I Dont Need Glasses

Lasik surgery has been around since 1987, and is a great way to end your use of glasses, contact lenses or not being able to see without them. Laser eye surgery can reduce or completely remove the need for any corrective lenses. You will have to go through a screening process for all patients, and of course, an eye exam. It’s important before beginning on any laser eye surgery journey. You thoroughly research your doctor, cost, and recovery time.

Cornea Transplant Eye Surgery

The cornea is the tissue on the very front of the eye. It is clear and covers the iris and pupil. It works with the lens to provide focusing power to the eye. If the cornea becomes opaque, swollen, or scarred, vision is compromised.

Because this procedure is a transplant of foreign tissue into the eye, rejection of the tissue by the immune system of the recipient is the greatest risk. However, drugs can be used to hold back the rejection reaction both before it occurs and even after the fact. Despite the availability of immunosuppressive drugs, the rejection rate for corneal transplants remains between 5 to 30% of the time…

Corneal Transplant Eye Surgery

Corneal transplantation, also known as corneal grafting or penetrating keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue which has been removed from a recently deceased individual having no known diseases which might affect the viability of the donated tissue. The cornea is the clear part of eye in front of the iris and pupil. The surgical procedure is performed by ophthalmologists, medical doctors who specialize in eyes, and are often done on an outpatient basis.

It is exciting that the technology named orthokeratology applied to your contact lenses can reshape your cornea at night and offer a clearer vision even without contacts at daytime. Although the magic effect lasts about only one day, it is great for many people.

Ortho-k has been practiced to reshape cornea since decades ago, but it got a complete approval from FDA only several years ago. The development of Ortho-k contact lenses has undergone a harsh process. Until now, some new manufacturing methods such as “reverse geometry” and lens designs such as “return zero” have bring a higher success rate to Ortho-k contact lenses.
