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)

Air Force Allows Pilots With Lasik to Fly

For the first time, the US Air Force is allowing aspiring pilots and aircrew members to fly even if they have had LASIK eye surgery.

Since 2001, the Air Force has permitted applicants to try for spots as pilots or aircrew members if they have had a corrective eye surgery, known as PRK (photo refractive keratectomy). The Air Force had said it needed more time to evaluate LASIK, a newer procedure. (Read more about Air Force Allows Pilots With Lasik to Fly)

Elective Eye Surgery

61 year old Winnie Herman savors every moment with her 20 month old granddaughter, Katie. But, she says, her glasses have been a definite hindrance on their time together. “It became very, very frustrating and seemingly the glasses were taking over my life. I had various pairs and sometimes I would forget where they were and I would start to get nervous if we were going out if I didn’t have them. I started to lose some independence,” says Winnie.

Initially, Winnie was considering Lasik surgery, but, instead she received a multifocal intraocular lens implant. “The multi-focal lens approaches the challenge of spectacles independence. In other words, it allows the patient to see distance, intermediate, and near, most of the time, without wearing glasses, or spectacles,” says ophthalmologist, Dr. Kenneth Rosenthal.

Lasik surgery, which uses a laser to sculpt and re-shape the corneal tissue for vision correction, was all the rage in the 90’s…it successfully freed millions from their glasses, but, medical experts now believe that particularly, for baby boomers, multifocal lens technology will soon be the treatment of choice.

FARSIGHTEDNESS LASER SURGERY

“All my life, I’ve worn glasses. I think I first got glasses when I was in the third grade,” says Ben Anderson, whose eyesight was corrected with laser surgery.
58 year old Ben Anderson has wanted to toss his glasses for years. He has struggled with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and poor depth perception.
“Walking down the street, I might not be able to recognize someone I knew, which can be embarrassing,” says Ben. (Read more about FARSIGHTEDNESS LASER SURGERY)

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)

Intac

Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments or INTACs are the first FDA approved, non-laser, surgical technique for correcting near sightedness. (Read more about Intac)

Color Blindness

The first report on color blindness was written by the British chemist John Dalton who was himself afflicted with it. (Read more about Color Blindness)

LASIK STUDY

If you’re considering LASIK surgery to get rid of your glasses, you might want to ask your doctor about the risks of LASIK surgery. There are many factors that can play a role in the success of the procedure, even factors like the temperature and humidity.
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. (Read more about LASIK STUDY)
