LOOK FOR PERIPAPILLARY RD IN HIGHLY MYOPIC EYES

By Dr. Kevin -

Arch Ophthalmol -- Abstract: Characteristics of Peripapillary Detachment in Pathologic Myopia, January 2006, Shimada et al. 124 (1): 46
This study suggests that nearly 5% of highly myopic eyes have a localized peripapillary retinal detachment. It's
"pathogenesis and pathologic significance require further classification, (it)
might be another indicator of visual field defects in high myopia."

    some people cant help it duh, and you cant get surgery for that unless you break the bones around your face and could even DIE in the process. what if it were you. think about that. Im sure your not a model. look in the mirror, and im sure you'll find your no prize. people are different, and its people like you that make the world sick, and horrible. Go jump off a bridge you twisted critisizing clone...

    Im 25 years old and have implants, contacts, and glasses over that to see. I may be ugly which Im not, but she isnt either. Big eyes are unique, and beautiful. Some people arnt so lucky to be born perfect. I also have dailey eye pains, dizziness, nausia, severe dry eye, and depression along with trying to raise a 16 month old son. I wish the healthy pretty people with no problems that were rude, and ugly were the ones born with disabilities, and the ones with good hearts were the ones born normal, but it doesnt work like that. I agree go run into on coming traffic.

IMPLANTABLE COLLAMER LENS APPEARS BETTER THAN LASIK OR PRK FOR MODERATE TO HIGH MYOPIC PATIENTS

By Dr. Kevin -

http://www2.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab007679.html The results of this review suggest that the implantable lens (ICL) is are safer than excimer laser (the laser used in PRK and LASIK) surgical correction for moderate to high myopia in the range of -6.0 to -20.0 D and ICL is preferred by patients. ICL surgery resulted in better corrected visual acuity, better contrast sensitivity, and improved patient satisfaction. ICL may also be considered in cases where the patient has more moderate near-sightedness (in the range of -3.00 to -6.00). My personal experience with ICL gives me a high level of confidence in this procedure and the surgeon with whom I co-manage. All patients I have seen have been 20/20 or better. One patient was in the -6.00 range and the others in the -10 range! I see very little side effects. For more information, feel free to our office at 480-812-2211.

RINSING YOUR CONTACT LENS CASE IS NOT ENOUGH

By Dr. Kevin -

Removal of biofilm from contact lens storage cases -- Wu et al., 10.1167/iovs.10-5796 -- Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science It has been conventional wisdom amongst eye doctors that most infections related to contact lenses actually originate from the contact lens storage case. I usually recommend rinsing the case after use and filling with fresh solution. However, it appears that thoroughly rubbing the inside of the case with clean fingers helps remove most of the biofilm on which the bacteria grow. I also usually recommend replacing one's case on a regular basis. I am surprised how many new patients come into my office with grimy, dirty contact lens cases. According to this study: "digital rubbing and rinsing, and/or wiping the lens cases with tissue are recommended. Air-drying and recapping the lens case lids after use without any additional cleaning methods or the use of antimicrobial cases should be discouraged."
