Clear Vision for aging eyes sans reading glasses

Clear Vision for aging eyes sans reading glasses

As we grow older, many start to experience failing vision. But a path breaking new lens matched with an established procedure is helping to restore clear vision.

Dr. Anand Shroff has been implanting multi-focal lenses since they were approved three years ago. “A lot of people as they get into their 50s or 60s, even if they had LASIK (laser eye surgery) earlier in life, are unable to read without glasses at this age in their lives.” This is an age related process called ‘Presbyopia”, unavoidable in one and all. That’s where multi-focal lenses come in, making reading minus glasses possible, while also improving vision of middle and far distances. Multi-focals can conquer all distance challenges.
“People who love the driving, watching movies and also love to read, now do not need to carry reading glasses,” Shroff said. “With multi-focal lenses you will be free from that nuisance.

A no - stress relaxed and modern procedure, the pain-free surgery lasts about 15 minutes. Using a small incision of 3mm’s, the natural lens is replaced with a foldable multi-focal lens, which makes this procedure stitch less. These procedures involve just a day care admission of few hours and a very simple post procedure care and follow up.

Right away patients can see far and near, and every day vision improves.
The surgery for the second eye is usually scheduled a week or two after the first, although some find it comfortable to undergo the second eye within 3-4 days as well. The full benefit of the procedure won't occur until both eyes are treated. The process is much like the cataract procedure with the added advantage that the person will never develop a cataract in future.

The lens itself is the technological breakthrough. Dr Shroff said most patients say it was the best investment of their lives.

Testimonial of MrJohn Singh…

Very Good NO! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT is what it is having worn glasses for over 40 years. Post op was like being a child with a brand new toy, But being told not to play with it immediately. The temptation was so hard to resist. And since then its been a non-stop assault on the all seeing outside world, shouting out the comparisons of vision as if it only belonged to ones self, sharing with anybody & everybody the experience, freedom without prescription distortion, the confidence in going for a swim, relaxing behind ordinary sunglasses. At over 50 years of age reading is more comfortable than ever before. I use to dread driving in the twilight hours, huge halos from the car lights. Before the procedure, I had such a low and sensitive reaction to anything regarding my eyes, that even administering eye drops was a full frontal assault, and now I put my own drops in and that makes a difference, that is what this procedure has brought in my life…confidence!. Mr John Singh UK

Many people can be candidates for multi-focal lenses, whether in their 70s and having trouble reading or a young 40 year-old with an early appearance of cataract. Even people with high risk factors for surgery such as diabetes or high blood pressure can undergo the surgery. As people age, their natural lens has already experienced changes, making multi-focal implants the better choice. As patients get older, poor vision is one less thing to worry about after surgery. “Finding your glasses in the dark, visiting the bathroom in the night etc are daily routine for some and this is where as you age your dependence on such visual aids is greatly reduced, Dr Shroff said. “Especially since most of the urgent or immediate work is near work like reading a label, reading the time, seeing a receipt, signing a cheque or reading a menu card in a restaurant, it feels great not to need your reading glasses to do so”.

Photochromic Eyeglasses changes from light to dark

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:45:31 -0500

Photochromic Eyeglasses changes from light to dark depending on the amount of ultraviolet light they are exposed to.We at www.bestpriceglasses.com offers Photochromic eyeglasses from Corning International:

Thirty-five years ago, a company called Corning Medical Optics invented type of lens that changes color under direct UV exposure, they call it PhotoGray and PhotoBrown . As their names suggest, the lenses are available in either gray or brown colors that are light enough to wear indoors and darken to a sunglass shade when exposed to ultraviolet light.

The active ingredient that causes the lenses to transform is called silver halide and is mixed evenly throughout the lens. This means the whole lens will change when exposed to light. It also means that if a particularly strong prescription is made, the strongest, thickest part of the lens will be darker than the thinner parts. Also, if there is a large difference in prescription between the two eyes, the lens with the stronger prescription will be darker than the weaker one.

Since then, Corning has updated its offerings many times. What we carry is Corning's newest photochromics are SunSensors mid-index gray and brown plastic lenses. A bit lighter in weight and thinner than regular plastic, these lenses have photochromic molecules mixed throughout the material, rather than just in the top layer. However, unlike their glass counterparts, SunSensors change within 60 seconds to a uniform color density throughout the lenses, regardless of the prescription or lens thickness, according to the company.

Our full line of photochromic eyeglasses include single vision and progressive. We also carry photochromic lens by Transition, which is a big thinner than the Traditional Photochromic lens, but at high price.

Clear Vision Through More Effective Daydreaming - Really

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:03:39 -0500

Like any other muscle in our bodies, the eye muscle has its own unique qualities and peculiarities, and we must both understand those and mange those appropriately if we are to maximize its effectiveness. There are many people in the vision field who spend a significant amount of time on how to improve eyesight, and not nearly enough time on limiting or completely eliminating the things which stand in the way of natural vision correction.

Lets face it, we all have daydreamed, and if you are honest with yourself, will admit that you still probably daydream regularly. What is not quite so apparent to all of you daydreamers, is specifically what is happening to the eye muscles as you are daydreaming. Although there are much more complex medical terms to describe the process, they are often so difficult to understand that most either don't take the time to learn more about them, or the ones who do, cannot really understand exactly what they are attempting to teach.

In simple terms, this is the explanation. When you are daydreaming with your eyes open, you are, whether conscious of it or not, asking your eyes to focus on two different images at the same time. Just as the eyes send a message to the brain containing the images that are entering through the eyes,, the brain also sends a message to the eyes on what the brain believes the eyes are focusing on. A simple example of this is the student who is sitting in that algebra class staring at the blackboard, but daydreaming about riding their snowboard on some beautiful Colorado mountain. That student is, in effect, straining their eye muscle to focus on both images, the blackboard filled with Algebra equations, and the terrain park that he or she is about to conquer on their snowboard. Although we are not aware of what is happening, clear vision habits do not include focusing on multiple, non-related images at the same time.

So can we still daydream, yet continue to realize the ongoing benefits of natural vision correction? The answer is yes, as long as we make it a point to close our eyes when daydreaming. Of course this might cut down on our daydreaming, but it will also contribute significantly to our ability to eliminate our glasses or contacts, or even to cancel that Lasik surgery that you may have been planning. Remember that every step you take down the natural path is a step toward healing and strengthening the eye muscle permanently, and not just a temporary fix until you need that stronger prescription or even Lasik Surgery. I continue to wite and speak about this because far too many people are aware of just how simple and effective natural vision correctin really is.

You can start down the road to Clear Vision without glasses, contacts, or Lasik right now; you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Details of the Advanced Medical Optics Moisture Plus Contact Lens Solution Recall

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0500

One of the largest American manufacturers of contact lens cleaning solution, Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) announced in May 2007 that it would voluntarily remove all bottles of its Complete Moisture Plus Contact Lens Solution from store shelves in what would amount to a massive contact lens solution recall. AMO decided to recall the unsafe contact lens solution after the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported a number of cases of a rare but serious and potentially blinding eye disease associated with the contact lens solution. Users of the contact lens solution are advised to contact a doctor if they experience any of the following symptoms: eye pain or redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, the feeling of something in the eye, or excessive tearing.

The disease, Acanthamoeba Keratitis, has been confirmed in 138 patients since the beginning of the outbreak in January 2005, according to the CDC. Of these 138, epidemiologists have been able to interview 46, 21 of whom claimed to have used the AMO Moisture Plus contact lens solution. The disease itself is a keratitis, or an inflammation of the cornea, caused by the presence of the Acanthamoeba parasite. This corneal disease is both serious and difficult to treat, as it is resistant to medication and can lead to loss of sight in the patient. While the agency has been quick to point out the preliminary nature of the link between the corneal disease and the contact lens solution, AMO did not hesitate in instituting the contact lens solution recall, and has advised anyone using the unsafe lens solution to discard all bottles, as well as any lenses or lens cases that may have come in contact with the Moisture Plus lens solution.

The Moisture Plus recall is not the first recall conducted by AMO, as the company has had previous issues with contamination of its contact lens solution products. In November 2006, AMO instituted a lens solution recall of 2.9 million units of the same Moisture Plus contact lens solution, after contamination was detected within the production line at a Chinese factory. Though the two lens solutions recalls do not appear related, the repeated contamination concerns related to the company have lead many to wonder about AMO's safety record and their liability in any possible Moisture Plus lawsuit. Though at present no such lawsuit has been announced, anyone with questions should contact an experienced Moisture Plus attorney or a contact lens solution law firm, in order to determine AMO's liability in possible damages resulting from the AMO Complete Moisture Plus recall.

Are you really receiving the lowest price?

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 13:03:02 -0600

The feeling strikes tens of thousands of contact lens buyers daily. You've just placed your order online and the relief you feel on your wallet envelopes you like a warm blanket on a cold day. The order may have saved $10, $20, even hundreds of dollars on vision care expenses. Before the feeling passes, buyers need to ask themselves, "Did I really save that much money?". The intense online fight for buyers loyalty is leading to an increase in hidden fees, handling fees, and even the loss of money through inferior customer service.

Buying contact lenses online is a great way to save money and hassle with low costs and quick shipment right to your home. Unfortunately, the widespread use of shady, and borderline criminal, selling tactics are eating away at customer’s wallets. Numerous sites have begun to add a hidden "handling" fee to orders without the customer’s knowledge. The product cost and shopping comparison sites may show the "lowest price" but buyers can find a hidden gem by simply adding up the cost of the contact lenses order in comparison to the shopping cart total. A buyer will quickly notice a discrepancy as much as hundreds of dollars more than the customers perceived order total. Sadly, most buyers are unaware of the over-charge due to the hidden nature of the fee in the shopping cart.

Additionally, some retailers are charging a handling fee on every order. These handling fees are at least shown to the buyer during checkout so they can make a quick exit if necessary. The sad part is the handling fee can add charges, which push the price higher than other retailers, and an unsuspecting buyer could easily over look this charge. While comparison-shopping engines are a great tool to find cheap contact lenses, they don't always show the final price paid.

Best to protect your eye from sun

Tue, 22 May 2007 00:00:00 -0500

Medical studies have been increasingly tying chronic contact to UV and near-UV rays to ocular diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Various shade does not offer exact protection, as our eyes still absorb UV radiation, particularly when we are close to water, snow or highly reflective surface such as concrete or sand. The best way to protect our eyes is a quality pair of prescription sunglasses, which meet recommended criteria for sun protection.

Even though lenses are the very significant feature, if the frames permit a substantial amount of light to enter the eyes without first being filtered through your lenses, much of the sun protection would be lost. The most effectual frames are wrap around style, which blocks light from coming at the sides. Wraparounds as well hug the face; decrease the value of light, which could further enter over the top or at the cheekbones.

It is further important that the lenses provide maximum sun protection. This is not reliant on how dark the lenses are, but somewhat on their capability to filter out assured wavelengths. Hunt for the lenses, which block 100% UV-A and UV-B rays. These are the similar rays, which cause sunburn and other skin cancer as well. Though UV-C rays are regularly mentioned, the earth’s atmosphere blocks almost all of these.

It is as well significant to find for lenses, which filter near-UV light. Studies put forward that extra exposure to near-UV light adds to macular erosion as we age, a chronic disease, which causes in deteriorated image clarity. Quality sunglasses would have a tag or supplementary information exposing the amount of sun protection they offer. Sunglasses missing this information most likely do not offer maximum sun protection, as 100% UV blockage and HEV filtering are important selling points.

Though sunglasses do not have to be costly, quality sunglasses are in facts an investment in the long-term health of your eyes. Sunglasses that offer good sun protection would as well assist to defend the fragile skin surrounding the eyes from early wrinkles and skin cancer. All the way around, a high-quality pair of sunglasses is an investment well worth the money. Your eyes deserve high-quality sun protection.

Moringa - The Natural cure for Macular degeneration

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Macular degeneration is a medical condition predominantly found in elderly adults in which the center of the inner lining of the eye, known as the macula area of the retina suffers thinning, atrophy and in some cases, bleeding. This can result in loss of central vision, which entails inability to see fine details, to read, or to recognize faces.

The Age-Related Eye Disease Study showed that a combination of high-dose beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and Zinc can reduce the risk of developing advanced AMD by about 25 percent in those patients who have earlier but significant forms of the disease. This is the only proven intervention to decrease the risk of advanced AMD at this time. Moringa contains 90+ nutrients and 46 antioxidants. It contains almost all the necessary vitamin, micro and macro minerals for the cell function.

High blood pressure may be associated with development of macular degeneration. Moringa contains high potassium content which helps to reduce the risk of high blood pressure. Antioxidants are substances that prevent oxidative damage to tissue, such as the retina. In contrast, antioxidant containing foods are thought to be beneficial for patients with macular degeneration. The most popular antioxidants are the carotenoids. Benefits of high levels of antioxidant and zinc for halting or slowing development of macular degeneration have been widely reported so by consuming Moringa can provide the antioxidants which help in lowering the risk of AMD.

Moringa leaf powder is nutrient rich and a vitamin supplement. Moringa capsules are made using the pure Moringa Leaf Powder.Moringa Capsules are made from 100% vegetarian capsules. Moringa as a supplement provide 15 times the potassium in banana, 17 times the calcium in milk, 4 times the Vitamin A in carrot, 25 times the iron in spinach and half time the Vitamin C content in orange. Moringa is rich in vitamin to the extent that it is one of the richest plant sources of Vitamin. Moringa has Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B6 Pyrodixine), Vitamin B7 (Biotin), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol), Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin K. Vitamin A is most needed by the body to maintain a perfect vision. The list of Minerals present in Moringa is abundant and few of the main minerals include Calcium, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Manganese and Zinc.

These entire nutrients are needed for the subjects suffering from Macular degeneration especially the antioxidants and Zinc. As Moringa contains antioxidants and Zinc in higher amount it can be supplemented for the AMD patients. Moringa can be supplemented as Moringa capsules such that it can be easily consumed every day with out disturbing our dietary pattern. Grenera Nutrients is an integrated Moringa company that takes care of every thing from planting the Moringa trees to selling value added Moringa products under its flagship brand Yelixir.
