    Post-RK Lasik Eye Surgery (short version)

    This condensed video shows a PRK Lasik eye surgery using a radial knife to cut the “flap”. Because the patient had previously had RK surgery, the flap had to be completely removed (due to scarring) rather than laid back into place as in typical PRK. The full procedure is generally painless and took only 9 minutes. This video is shortened even further to keep it interesting, however, all steps in the surgery process are still included. The music is “St. Thomas” by Technician. More music/videos free to the public, and Soundtracks available on CD at JCMDI.COM

    preop® Patient Education Opthamology: PRK Laser Eye Surgery

    www.preop.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Photorefractive Keratectomy – or PRK Laser surgery – to correct a vision problem. But what does that actually mean? The human eye is constructed like a camera …with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film. In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina. Three of these problems, myopia – or nearsightedness; hyperopia – or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery. Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina – instead of on the retina itself. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina. Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved, causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all. In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea …allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the

    Lasik Eye Surgery in 6 Minutes

    This is the Science Friday (National Public Radio) video about LASIK eye surgery. The funny thing about this video is that the narrator, who is probably also the producer, is a lot more nervous about LASIK laser vision correction than the patient himself. He is cool as a cucumber, I had LASIK myself, didn’t think it was a big deal and now I see fantastic. The video features Steven Vale, MD, medical director of Acuity Laser Eye & Vision Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Dr. Vale is one of the most well-respected and experienced Lasik surgeons in the world. Dr. Vale has performed over 21000 laser vision correction surgeries. Dr. Vale’s ability and experience really comes out in this otherwise realistic and detailed glimpse at the world of laser vision correction surgery.
