Perhaps an unusual post for a LASIK blog, but we find ourselves increasingly discovered in the world from our website and more importantly from this blog. At any instant in time there are a myriad of people in front of a computer screen, much like the one you are reading now. They are using their eyes, their vision, to see that screen and to see the world beyond it. Our job at Dishler Laser Institute is to make that vision as clear as possible without the need for glasses or contact
Corneal collagen crosslinking in post-LASIK keratectasia.
23/11/2010 | external link
Conclusion Crosslinking in patients with iatrogenic keratectasia stabilised the UCVA and BCVA as well as the maximum k-readings in our cohort. It seems to be a safe and promising procedure to stabilise the refraction and the corneal topography, and thus to stop the progression of visual loss, thereby avoiding or delaying disease progression and keratoplasty.

The change in internal aberrations following myopic corneal laser refractive surgery
23/11/2010 | external link
Conclusion Corneal spherical aberration and Z64 increased with corresponding increases in the internal spherical aberration and Z64 following LASIK. This may be an active compensatory mechanism of the internal optics to change, in order to reduce the effect of induced corneal HOA.

Laser epithelial keratomileusis in 2010 a review
23/11/2010 | external link
Photorefractive keratectomy, laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and Epi-LASIK are all variants of a similar type refractive surgery involving laser on the surface of the cornea and differ mainly in management of the epithelium. Although laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is currently the most popular form of refractive surgery, LASEK is the procedure of choice in some patients. We highlight potential complications of LASEK and how these may be managed. Following laser refractive surgery, corneal th
C-Ten as ideal therapeutic option

In the consultation section of the January issue, the refractive surgical problem involved a patient who was operated on for a pterygium but the surgeon did not know that laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) had been performed 10 years previously. The LASIK flap was excised during surgery, and irregular astigmatism and corneal scarring developed. The patient's visual acuity deteriorated to 20/100.

LASIK: Do It For Yourself
23/11/2010 | external link
Health-care can be divided into three groups. Thing you have to do like go to the emergency room when something bad happens, things you should do, like have a yearly physical, and the things you elect to do, like having LASIK vision correction. There has been much said in the recent health-care debate and newly passed legislation about the first two categories, and despite my strong beliefs in this area, I want to concentrate on the last category, those things that you can have if you want the
