The LASIK technique was made possible by the Colombia-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure called keratomileusis. Stephan Schaller assisted. Barraquer also provided the knowledge about how much of the cornea had to be left unaltered to provide stable long-term results.

What is the best lasik eye When it comes to things like
this I am pretty ignorant. I
hear that there are two new
methods out there for lasik
eye surgery. Can I please get
some feedback in regards to
which procedure is the best
and why! Thanks!

There are many different kinds of LASIK. It really depends on your preference. The normal LASIK uses a blade to cut a "flap" in your cornea where another LASIK procedure is done by laser to cut the "flap". There is also laser procedures that can be done if your cornea is not thick enough to have LASIK and that is called PRK and still people may not be able to have this. The best thing to do is to schedule a free consultation with an eye doctor that does Laser Surgeries and find out if you are a candidate for them. Many people find out they aren't candidates for any laser surgeries anyways. Hope this helps!! |

YES DON'T DO LASIK!!!!! You will ruin your military flying career!! PRK is the only authorized corrective surgery for pilots. I am going to flight school myself and have researched like crazy! Current prices are around $3500 for both eyes. The military also requires one year healing time after surgery; so plan accordingly! Good Luck! |

How long after a lasik surgery I had lasik done 1 1/2 weeks
ago and the surgeon told me
that I shouldn't run or do
weight lifting/ crunches for a
month but he told me I can do
jogging. Is this true? I need
some opinions please.

I was told nothing strenuous or with any impact for a month, but that brisk walking was fine. I wouldn't take any risks - it's just not worth it. Your sight is precious. Incidentally, the foreign medical graduate comment was wildly unnecessary and somewhat racist. It seems that Aurael has not been capable of gaining a medical degree or a single vote towards a 'best answer.' Too bad. |

I am not interreted with your
publicity.
For 18 years I have been told I have wet macular degeneration and is not fixable. Now, the last 3 years, I have been told by a another retinologist that I do not have it but that I have psuedo hole and also not fixable. is any of this fixable?
I am looking to get lasik soon and I would like to know which vision center is a better Lasik Plus or TLC Vision?
I am going to the eye doctor
at Kaiser now.
He says that there is a blood
vessel wrapped
around my left eye and is
waiting to see if
it changes before he does a
cateract operation.
I ask him if a Lasik operation
could be done and he said
no.
My question is, could a Lasik
operation be
done?
I only need my close up vision
corrected. Is this possible
with lasik surgery? or what
are my options? How safe is
it?
Thank-you,
