on Aug 13th, 2010Laser Eye Surgery Information
The laser eye surgery is just one of the many methods of refractive eye surgery. This form of surgery is a surgical procedure to correct common eye disorders such as, short sightedness, long sightedness, and astigmatism which is a form of vision distortion.
Although there are many methods to correct refractive eye disorders, laser eye surgery is the most advanced method available at the moment. It is also most popular surgery to correct refractive eye disorder in developed countries because of its precision and predictability.
The FDA first approved the excimer laser eye surgery in 1995 for correcting mild to moderate short sightedness or myopia. The approval comes with a restriction that only surgeons trained in laser refractive surgery and in the calibration of such equipment can perform the surgeries. Recently, the laser eye surgery had also been approved for photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and Keratomileusis (LASIK) surgical procedures.
PRK is an outpatient eye surgical procedure done with local anesthetic eye drops. This form of eye surgery gently reshapes the cornea by removing microscopic amounts of tissue from the outer surface with a cool, computer controlled ultraviolet light. The beam of light is very precise and each pulse can remove 39 millionths of an inch of tissue in 12 billionths of a second.
PRK method is clean, efficient and fast and takes only a few minutes to complete. Patients will usually recover within 1-3 days and be back at their daily routines.
Studies conducted by the FDA showed that about 5 percent of patients continued the need to wear glasses after a PRK surgery and up to 15 percent needed glasses occasionally, such as when one is driving a car or playing golf.
Also, many PRK patients experienced mild corneal haze following the surgery of which there is nothing to worry about as the symptoms are part of the post surgery healing process. Some patients are expected to experienced glare and halos around lights. Again there is no cause for alarm as the symptoms will disappear in due course.
As a result of these studies the FDA along with the Federal Trade Commission issued a letter to the eye-care industry in 1996 to warn that unrealistic advertisment claims, such as “No more eyeglasses forever” and unsubstantiated claims about success rates could be misleading to potential PRK patients and may give rise to expensive medical legal suits.
As with any surgery, patients are best advised to do some research and read up about the types surgery available over and above consultations with their surgeons.

on Aug 1st, 2010Laser Skin Resurfacing
One of the most frustrating aspects of aging is when those superficial lines and wrinkles begin to take their toll on your skin. In many ways, this is an inevitable process that takes place as collagen in the skin decreases and gravity sets in. There are many types of creams and magic potions on the marketplace designed to alleviate fine lines and wrinkles, but most of them fall short when it comes to proven, legitimate results. That’s why more and more people are electing to have laser skin resurfacing procedures.
Laser skin resurfacing is a relatively new procedure that has become extremely popular during the last decade. The reason it has become so popular is because of its effectiveness and relatively short recovery process. Like a chemical peel, laser skin resurfacing essentially removes the outer layers of your skin using a specially calibrated, pulsed laser. The results give your skin a much more vibrant and smooth appearance, while reducing the overall appearance of acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation (sun spots and freckles) and small skin growths.
“Laser skin resurfacing is great for someone who is beginning to notice the fine lines and wrinkles, but doesn’t have a lot of sagging skin or excess fatty tissue,” explains Dr. Robert V. Mandraccia, a prominent Bonita Springs, Florida plastic surgeon. “It can do wonders for treating superficial lines, uneven coloring and any irregular texture of your skin, but it can’t tighten your skin the way a facelift can.”
The depth of laser skin resurfacing can also be much more controlled and predictable than a chemical peel. Due to this, and the fact that skin resurfacing doesn’t usually treat your skin as deeply as a chemical peel does, the recovery is not as painful or as long. Most patients need to cover the treated area, clean it with special cleansing products and apply healing ointment for approximately 7-10 days. Complete healing time for chemical peels is closer to one to two months.
“Chemical peels can be more invasive than laser skin resurfacing because they are usually used to treat more moderate skin problems, like deeper wrinkling and scarring,” says Dr. Mandraccia. “There are many levels of chemical peels however – meaning that a few to several layers of skin can be removed during the process. So, the healing time does vary depending on the amount of skin treated and how deep the peel goes.”
If you have minimal to moderate skin imperfections that you would like to treat with laser skin resurfacing, you can learn more about the procedure and recovery at Dr. Mandraccia?s webite: www.mandraccia.com. Or, you can schedule a private consultation with Dr. Mandraccia himself by contacting his office today.

on Jul 20th, 2010Laser Eye Surgery
Is the world a complete blur for you without your glasses or contact lenses? And when you do get your glasses on, do you resent the lack of freedom in all your movements? Perhaps it’s time you went in for corrective eye surgery.
Most corrective eye surgery is technically known as refractive eye surgery, an elective procedure intended to correct common eye disorders, or refractive errors, such as myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness) and astigmatism (distorted vision).
Where does laser eye surgery come in?
Laser refractive surgery is rapidly becoming the most technologically advanced and popular method available today to correct refractive errors, primarily because it provides near-total precision and predictability. However, there are still a relatively small number of ophthalmologists in the US who are trained in laser refractive surgery and in the calibration and operation of the laser.
The excimer laser, which is used in this type of surgery, received FDA approval in 1995 for correcting mild to moderate nearsightedness. At present, the excimer laser is approved for use in procedures called photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ Keratomileusis (LASIK).
Photorefractive Keratectomy
Performed with local anesthetic eye drops, PRK is a refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea by removing tiny amounts of tissue from the outer surface with a computer-controlled ultraviolet beam of light. The beam is so precise that it can notch a strand of human hair without breaking it. The procedure is the commonest form of laser eye surgery, takes only a few minutes, and you can get back to normal life in a couple of days.
Is Laser Surgery for You?
Millions of patients have experienced total freedom from any kind of eyewear after laser surgery, but there are cons too, as with every surgical procedure. It is best to find out whether you are eligible for laser eye surgery. Here’s a checklist so you don’t end up with worse eyesight than you had before you went in:
- People who are slow healers or have ongoing medical conditions like glaucoma or diabetes are not good candidates for laser surgery
- Those with uncontrolled vascular disease, autoimmune disease, or people with certain eye diseases involving the cornea or retina are also poor candidates, so make sure you have a long chat with your doctor before you opt for surgery
- Pregnant women should avoid refractive surgery of any kind because the refraction of the eye may change during pregnancy
Facts you should know
- You needn’t worry if your pain threshold is low, since there is hardly any discomfort during surgery. Once the anesthetic wears off, the degree of pain varies from individual to individual, but any irritation is minor and usually vanishes within hours
- Worried about when you can return to work? Usually in one to three days post-surgery, but a better idea is to wait until you feel up to it
- Convalescence is minimal, and usually you can be driven home about 30 minutes after surgery. Typically, your eyesight improves within 3 to 5 days
- According to numerous surveys in the U.S. and worldwide, the effects of surgery appear permanent. As people age, however, their vision deteriorates naturally, so re-treatment may be necessary
- Laser surgery does not really restrict your activities, except you should not rub your eyes after surgery. Other than that, you can do whatever work you feel up to provided you follow doctor’s orders
The risk factor
In one word, minimal, but there have been a handful of cases where complications resulting from laser eye surgery have resulted in corneal transplants. So here goes:
- There is about a 0.1 percent chance of the cornea becoming infected after PRK, which usually means added discomfort and a delay in healing, but no long-term effects within a period of four years
- It is as yet not possible to definitely predict how your eye will respond to laser surgery. As a result, you may still need lenses after surgery for good vision. In some cases, a second procedure can improve the initial result
- Some patients find that their best vision with corrective lenses is worse than it was before the surgery. This is a result of either irregular tissue removal or development of corneal haze
- However, corneal haze is part of the normal healing process after PRK. In most cases, it has little or no effect on the final vision. However, some cases of excessive haze interfere with vision. As with under-correction, this can often be corrected by additional laser treatment.
- In some patients the effect of surgery gradually fades over several months. In such cases, a re-treatment is once again usually sufficient
- Some patients experience the halo effect, an optical effect noticed in dim light. As the pupil enlarges, a second faded image is produced by the untreated peripheral cornea. This can interfere with night driving. However, recorded cases are extremely rare.
As of now, a number of other lasers for eye surgery are being tested to determine their safety and efficacy. Such tests may allow for clinical studies involving the excimer laser and the correction of farsightedness, provided the FDA grants approval, which is something a potential patient should always check.
