The eye is a delicate organ, requiring extreme care before, during and after a surgical procedure. An seasonedophthalmologist must confirm the need for specific procedure and be responsible for conducting the procedure safely. Many university programs allow patients to specify if they want to be operated upon by the consultant or the resident / fellow.
Healthy eyes is as important to a newborn baby as it is to someone who is 95 years old. Although almost all of us take our eyes for granted, diseases, accidents, infections, and age can all endanger our eyes.
Several modern approaches to corrective eye surgery range from laser reshaping of the eye's surface in procedures such as LASIK and PRK to surgical insertion of artificial lenses to improve eyesight.
LASIK and PRK laser eye treatments have made it possible for hundreds of thousands to see without depending on glasses or contacts. The minimal discomfort and short recovery period are the main reasons many patients choose this technique.
