Scientists Accidentally Discover Laser-Free LASIK Alternative

Image
A chemistry professor trying to heat cartilage with electricity made a mistake that could change eye surgery. Michael Hill at Occidental College accidentally used too little current in his experiment—and stumbled upon a discovery that might replace LASIK with a gentler treatment that reshapes corneas without ever cutting the eye. The discovery may offer hope for the millions of people living with poor vision who want an alternative to glasses and contact lenses but are wary of LASIK’s risks. While laser eye surgery is generally successful, it involves cutting into the eye and can cause complications including dry eyes, vision problems, and in rare cases, severe side effects. Happy Accident Behind the Discovery The breakthrough happened entirely by chance when Hill and his collaborator, Dr. Brian Wong, a professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of California–Irvine, were frustrated with their attempts to reshape cartilage using lasers. Hill said that they deci...

Is laser eye surgery safe?

From dailymail.co.uk - The truth is that laser eye surgery  is still very new and the long-term effects are not known. It is also true that, in many cases, people will not be throwing away their glasses: they will still need them for certain activities, such as reading, or driving and going to the cinema. And in some cases, things do go wrong. Perhaps of most concern, however, are the production-line methods and hard- sell advertising employed by some of the big chains who control the business. At least one doctor in the Midlands has admitted to carrying out 400 treatments a month. And some spectacle-wearers have received unsolicited advertising literature through the post urging them to have the operation. The clinics are not regulated by the Department of Health, though they must register with local health authorities. The authority has to ensure the clinics are working within the safety and legal guidelines of the Registered Homes Act, which was drawn ...
