			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the highly-developed technologies of vision treatments, people nowadays are opting to take laser eye surgery to treat their eye problems as laser surgery can take certain eye problems away completely. However, for most people, they just know two of the most common laser surgeries &#8212; PRK and LASIK, but they are confused what these eye surgeries actually are and which one is better. The following will give a brief introduction of PRK and LASIK on their similarities and differences in the hope of giving people some help on understanding of laser eye surgery.<br />
PRK is short for Photorefractive Keratectomy. LASIK stands for the laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. The similarities of them are they are both refractive eye surgeries. Compared with other surgeries, they are less risky. And for certain eye problems, they can move the problems away thoroughly.<br />
The differences of both laser eye surgeries are as following: First, they use different ways to treat eye problems. PRK involves sculpting to change the surface of the eye. While LASIK uses the laser to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, a flap is cut on the eye to allow the laser to get behind to perform the remodeling instead of sculpting. Second, compared with LASIK, PRK is more risky. PRK makes use of PK procedure and radial keratotomy. It is realized by surgeons using scalpel to reshape the cornea. So we can see the surgeons’ experience also plays a role in it. Considering the pain and recovery time, LASIK is more excellent. LASIK is painless, while PRK is a little painful. And people with PRK laser eye surgery usually need more time to recover.<br />
Therefore, when people consult in surgeons which laser eye surgery is better, surgeons generally recommend LASIK as it indeed has some outstanding advantages over PRK. But this does not mean all eye problems should be treated with LASIK eye surgery. That is because for some eye problems, PRK is the only option you can choose, which means LASIK can not work well with certain eye problems.<br />
Above all, both PRK and LASIK have their own advantages and disadvantages. We can not say which one is definitely better. So before taking the laser eye surgery, it is advised to talk with your eye doctor. Then eye doctor will recommend the suitable surgery to you according to your eye problem, which will be good for treating your eye problem appropriately and effectively.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is true that this is a world of supplements. We can benefit a lot from these supplements. For example, we can find some supplements that can improve our vision.</p>
<p>Some of us may have never thought of buying supplements that can help improve vision. But once we have encountered, we will benefit greatly from them. For instance, one of my friends has encountered such supplements in the market. She has also bought some back home. The result proves that these supplements are really nice and effective. Her eye sight has improved a lot. So it is worth for us to spend more time searching for supplements that can enhance our vision.</p>
<p>Which supplements are beneficial for our vision? Supplements with lutein and zeaxanthin are helpful and effective. The two nutrients are carotenoids that can be found in many natural foods, as leafy vegetables, fruits, etc. But the problem is ingesting these nutrients through foods is too bothersome. Suppose, you have eaten a lot of foods, but you can not reach the minimum amount. So the best way is to intake some supplements.</p>
<p>Some studies have revealed that eye diseases, like AMD can be cured in some ways. But an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. So we should pay more attention to avoid and prevent them.</p>
<p>So these supplements are the best way to prevent the occurrence of such eye problems.</p>
<p>Our eyes change all the time, for they are too sensitive and weak. Thus, we should intake these supplements for better visions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If we have some eye problems, we can choose to receive eye surgery. However, in the surgery, no scalpel will be used, but laser. The Excimer laser plays the same role as scalpel in the surgery. Laser surgery is also suitable for those who can not receive scalpel surgery.</p>
<p>Generally, <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/">eyeglasses</a> and contact lenses are the commonest solutions for nearsightedness and farsightedness. Of course, laser surgery is also suitable and effective for the two problems. But for sufferers of other complicated eye problems, like astigmatism, those glasses and lenses are not so ideal. On the contrary, LASIK surgery is the best alternative.</p>
<p>In laser surgery, every detail is operated in an accurate way. Safety is also another very important feature of this surgery. The recovery time is very short and receivers can enjoy perfect vision after the surgery. In the surgery, the inner cornea will be reshaped by the laser.</p>
<p>Generally, cutting cornea with laser will lead to great risk. And luckily, this has been much improved in the accuracy of the surgery now.</p>
<p>In U.S., there are no less than one million receivers of laser surgery with very high success rate, almost 80%.</p>
<p>In the past, the surgery on the cornea requires greatly on the surgeons and almost no people can receive it. And now, the emergence of laser surgery has solved all such problems.</p>
<p>Some merits of laser eye surgery have attracted many people to receive it, like the great success rate, short recovery time, etc. Several days after the surgery, receivers can have very good vision. However, this surgery is very expensive. If you earn a lot of money, you can consider of receiving it.</p>
<p>One of the most important steps in the surgery is to find the just right surgeon. It is true that there are more and more surgeons for LASIK. Therefore, it is essential to confirm the identification of the surgeon, including the equipments for the surgery. Also, it is a very good idea to listen to other’s feedbacks on the surgeon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our eyes are greatly ignored, though they are very important organs for our human beings. Generally, receiving eye examinations is very effective to detect some potential eye problems. But most of us have failed to do this. Therefore, many eye diseases become worsened when they are diagnosed.</p>
<p>Most of us seldom pay any attention to our eyes till they become sick. However, those problems can always not be treated easily when detected, though we go to visit eye doctors.</p>
<p>For example, the damage caused by glaucoma is not reversible and sufferers may become blind. But if it can be detected at its early stage and treated properly, suffers’ vision can be saved. In a word, prevention is much more effective than cure and receiving regular eye examinations is essential.</p>
<p>We can always enjoy the brightness of good vision even when we get aged if we can take care of our eyes. Receiving Regular eye examination is one of the best preventive methods. It is a bad habit to neglect eye care and visit the eye doctor until the problems get worsened.</p>
<p>In most cases, some symptoms can tell the existence of particular eye diseases. However, some disease will show no such symptoms. For example, sufferers of glaucoma can seldom detect any symptom until their vision gets lost completely.</p>
<p>If those diseases can be detected at early stage, they can be cured successfully. And examination is one of the best to detect any potential diseases. Of course, physical examinations are also needed if we want to maintain good vision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we age, all parts of body age as well, so does our eyesight. However, when we notice the weakening of our eyesight, we should not forget to find out proper solution for it. Research finds that acai berries work well to improve eyesight, because it contains antioxidants that support improved eyesight with healthy corneas, irises, and the rods and cones in the eyes.</p>
<p>Acai berry is rich in antioxidants, more than blue berries, oranges, and other herbal supplements. The flavonoids loaded in acai berries, called anthocyanins, does for the free radical, an atom or group of atoms that are harmful for health, in the blood vessels in the eyes and strengthens collage, an element crucial in keeping our eyes healthy, and reduce inflammation in the tiny vessels in our eyes so as to avert retina disorders, such as night blindness, glaucoma, macular degeneration.</p>
<p>Its property that works for night blindness has already been approved during the World War II when the bomber pilots had to perform tasks at night, they used to eat acai berries to improve their eyesight. The same period, the Japan and Korea officers also ate a great amount of blueberry juice to help reduce eye strain from excessive computer viewing.</p>
<p>What is more, another kind of anthocyanidins called Cyanidin 3-glycosides contained in acai berries could stimulate the rhodopsin to regenerate. (The rhodopsin is a pigment of the retina that makes one see clearly in low-light conditions.)</p>
<p>In addition, acai berries help to slow down the growth progress of retinopathy which is a retina disorder that has a risk to cause the loss of eyesight. This is why nearly 80% of diabetic patients would lead to eye disease because retinopathy is one of the complication of diabetes.</p>
<p>Acai berry when consumed in proper quantity gives superior results beneficial to the eyes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LASIK (laser in-situ Keratomileusis) and PRK (photorefractive Keratectomy) are both types of laser eye surgery which are widely praised by sponsored reviews, articles and press releases. The stories that athletes giving up contacts after eye surgery and the comments that eye surgery is easy, safe and better than contacts or spectacles greatly encourage people to do the laser eye surgery to completely get rid of contacts and spectacles.</p>
<p>However, is the laser eye surgery that good and effective? Let us see some facts first.</p>
<ol>
<li>Laser eye surgery may cause more than the correction of eye focus, which may induce eye pressure, too. Excessive pressure in the eyes, which is the symptom of glaucoma, may lead to eye blindness. Medium cases of eye pressure can be treated with drugs to decrease the pressure, but requiring the measure of eye pressure every interval set by the ophthalmologist. Severe cases cannot be cured by only drugs, and should refer to eye surgery to improve the drainage of excess fluid in the eyes. This kind of surgery is always carried out with the help of laser bursts. Sometimes it needs the more advanced microsurgical cutting.</li>
<li>The procedure of corneal reshaping during the laser eye surgery contains the removing of bits and pieces of eyes. If the bits cannot be put back properly, you still have to wear contacts or spectacles to correct refraction errors and more seriously your eyes may be under great risk. So US military members are not allowed to take the surgery to avoid any damage to eyes.</li>
<li>Not every surgery can have very satisfactory result. Though LASIK industries claim that the success rate of laser eye surgery can be as high as 95%, actually a part of the correction vision is only 20/40, which is legal to drive in most states. The situation is everyone is born with 20/20 vision, though the 20/40 vision is achieved by laser eye surgery, people may still feel uncomfortable, not to mention that the current result cannot last for your whole life, which has the same effect with the deeper degree of your spectacles with the time going. So if your eyesight becomes bad again, what can you do? I think re-surgery must not be a good choice.</li>
</ol>
<p>Then is there a more safer and convenient way to improve eyesight? Luckily, a relatively new technology ICL (Implantable contact lenses) is introduced to alternate the traditional LASIK and PRK. In ICL, a lens is inserted in front of your lens or even replaces your own eye lens, which is located behind the pupil. It is a faster and easier error correction comparing with LASIK and PRK. The key point is ICL can be reversed and updated if your eyesight deepens. So it is considered the best choice to improve people’s eyesight. If you decide to take the laser eye surgery, you should know more about ICL through internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recovery period after LASIK surgery is fast but important, especially in its early stage. A good eye recovery is the main advantage of LASIK surgery and it can guarantee the patients to resume their work as earlier as possible as a result of the benefits of a successful surgery.</p>
<p>The short recovery time is mainly due to the particular type of surgical intervention. Most LASIK surgery will use the advanced laser technology. The laser burns the tissue in the inner part of the stroma without having to cut the tissue in other surgeries. The cutting process only takes 8-10 minutes. In that case, the substances are not really injured and the healing requires no long time.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, the proper recovery time is usually 48 hours, though the patients will be asked to be also careful for the remaining two days. Complications after LASIK surgery can be preventable with proper precautions.</p>
<p>6 tips on how to do eye care for a quick recovery is given in the following.</p>
<ol>
<li>An eye shield is needed to prevent the eye infection.</li>
<li>Itching or rubbing on eyes should be completely avoided during the first 7 days.</li>
<li>Be careful when you are in shower. Do not let water strike your eyes directly and escape from soap and shampoo in the eyes. It is better to have less baths during the first week after surgery.</li>
<li>An intended medicinal product is intended for recovery, Use of antibiotics, steroids and other drugs are required to prevent dry eyes.</li>
<li>Light exercises are recommendable, but be sure to avoid any vigorous exercise as the sweat is harmful to your eyes, especially the sports like boxing and karate.</li>
<li>Do not work very hard in the first few days to give a rest to your eyes.</li>
</ol>
<p>The syndromes like ghosts, halos, starburst regular or irregular astigmatism after surgery are all common complications in the period of the first few weeks to six months because the complications can be gradually solved and finally disappear. However, if the complications still exist after six months, you have to go to your doctor for a further examination.</p>
<p>Remember one sentence that carelessness is the killer of eyes during the recovery period after LASIK surgery, so be cautious to do the eye care to ensure a brighter vision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LASIK operation is a surgical process that can greatly improve your overall vision and completely eliminate the need to wear eyeglasses or contacts. This surgical technique is a great technological development that has lifted the lives of thousands of patients all over the world. There are lots considerations that you&#8217;ll need to take into prior to receiving the eye surgery and you must also make sure that you qualify as a patient for this operation. Most patients are accepted but there are several conditions that can result in a surgeon concern or disqualify you from the programmer.</p>
<p>All potential patients must first qualify as candidates for the procedure and commit to fulfilling each of the necessary steps before the operation. This article will list some of the main requirements to be a qualified candidate for the LASIK surgery.</p>
<p>Many doctors require their patients beyond 18. This is the basic condition that you are able to sign your own contract for operation without a parent or guardian&#8217;s consent. The age requirement will also make sure that your eye has matured to the point where surgery can take place without any complications, due to growth, in the future. These two criteria &#8211; patient age and eye maturity are two of the most important things each patient must have before surgery.</p>
<p>Prior to the procedure, you must plan a few steps for several months before your surgery. Most doctors will demand that your vision is permanent for at least one full year before the LASIK surgery. Any infections or problems within the year prior to the surgery may also disqualify you as a candidate.</p>
<p>Even if this surgery has a very high success rate, there are several common risks related to the technique that must be fully understood by anyone thinking over the operation. Adopting the procedure, you may find your eye(s) are itchy or irritated for a period of time. This normally does not perpetuate for long, but in some rare cases this outcome may last for a longer time. There also remains the risk of under or over correcting your eyes to the degree that they cause the opposite problem from before the procedure.</p>
<p>After understanding all above and other potential risks is a necessary step in becoming a possible LASIK candidate. When patients have a clear understanding of all the possible kinds of risks there can be, then they will be more informed and capable of making a wiser decision.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also need to have a complete discussion with an eye doctor to check exactly what you expect. The doctor can, at this time, explain clearly how the entire surgery works and what should be expected from the LASIK procedure. Most doctors will do a careful examination of your eyes at this time to see if you are suitable for the surgery.</p>
<p>This operation has given thousands of people 20/20 vision, but the right steps need to be taken to ensure you are a qualified candidate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Computer eye strain is one of the most common health problems for those people who work in an office spending 8 hours staring at the computer’s screen. It’s not surprising that the muscles of your eyes get tired or sore when they keep staring at screen or monitor for a long time, maybe 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, just like the feeling of your legs after being at the gymnasium for an hour.</p>
<p align="left">People who suffer from computer eye strain may have some of the following symptoms, for instance you have trouble in focusing on the screen, dry eyes, itching and burning of the eyes, tired eyes, sore eyes, watery eyes, blurred vision, double vision and have color fringes or images in your vision when you look away from the screen. Some of them may even have headaches, sensitivity to light or a sore or stiff neck due to computer eye strain.</p>
<p align="left">What causes computer eye strain? There are mainly five of the most common causes of eye strain that may frequently happen in your work place. First, staring at the monitors is the most important reason for getting eye strain. Focusing on computer for a long period of time will makes the muscle of your eyes tired. Second, the distance between your computer and your eyes is also a factor that may cause computer eye strain. If it is too close to your eyes it can start to hurt. And if it is too far from your eyes which make you difficult in reading, it can also cause eye strain. Third, when you look at a screen that is too bright for a long time, you may probably get sore eyes or even headaches. And if your computer monitor is not set up properly, it can also cause your eyes tired. Finally, poor lighting, either too bright or too dim can hurt your eyes. For example, if your position faces a window, the glare can make you may have high risk of getting eye strain.</p>
<p align="left">After knowing the causes of eye strain, we can do the following things to prevent computer eye strain. First of all, give your eyes enough rest and relax during your work. Put the monitor in a proper position, so that you will not feel tired when looking at the screen. Remember to put your keyboard and your chair ergonomically, so that your eyes will in the right direction to your computer. Take down the bright level of your computer if it is too bright. And try to get rid of the glare from the surrounding environment.</p>
