Yours is a really good question! If I re-phrase it, I expect the question is: How will I know when my cataracts need surgery? The answer, as vague as it may sound is simply: When you are ready to see better than you are now even with new glasses. Except in unusual...

For the same reasons our entire body does: We are just not "designed" to live much past age 40! From an evolutionary/DNA perspective, once we have passed our genes on to the next generation, we are superfluous. Of course, I for one am very glad we do usually live much...

It is very unlikely that a well-performed LASIK procedure using the best diagnostic and laser equipment would adversely affect your night vision. While it is very common to see halos and rainbows around lights at night in the first 90 days or so, these typically...

Lasers are not just some kind of evaporating ray gun.There are a multitude of different kinds of lasers suitable for certain, defined tasks. The primary laser used in LASIK and PRK is the excimer (excited dimer) laser. Once referred to as a "cold" laser, it cuts...

There definitely is a rising percentage of people who develop myopia (nearsightedness) all across the world. So the question is not unexpected as to why and how this might be changed without having to resort to stronger glasses, contact lenses, or even surgery such as...

Because not all vision problems are able to be solved with LASIK. Vision problems can be either Refractive (optical) or due to anatomic pathology (like cataracts or macular degeneration). [Often there can be both in older people.] LASIK only works on one of the...
