		<description><![CDATA[Today we use centuries old technology to determine what eyeglasses to prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses for patients. A series of different powered lenses are held in front of a patient&#8217;s eye and the patient is asked to judge, subjectively, which lens makes their vision clearer. “Which is better, one or two?”. The patient guides [...]]]></description>

For many patients, the choice of vision correction comes down to LASIK or contact lenses.  Eyeglass correction may be undesirable, impractical or impossible.  But which is better?  For many, the determination is one of cost and/or safety.  Your assumptions about the superiority of LASIK vs contact lenses may be [...]]]></description>

Cataract surgery used to involve a week stay in the hospital with sandbags around the head after to prevent movement.

		<description><![CDATA[  The debate about what causes myopia (nearsightedness) rages on. The fact that myopic parents tend to produce myopic children seems to indicate that myopia has a genetic basis. There is abundant evidence, however, that environment plays a role. A 1968 investigation by Dr. Frances Young, who led a research team to Alaska to study [...]]]></description>

Other patients may not be a candidate for vision correction surgery and another, third group of candidates may be described as “iffy”. We&#8217;ve seen a number of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LASIK has it&#8217;s roots in a procedure first performed over 50 years ago.  A Columbian ophthalmologist described performing a procedure termed &#8220;keratomileusis&#8221; or corneal reshaping procedure to correct extreme amounts of nearsightedness using a bladed microkeratome and a lathe.  Others began performing the procedure and refined it with better instrumentation and techniques to yield better [...]]]></description>
