Look Good and See Clearly!

Wednesday, April 28, 2010


Ordinary people are now seeing the benefits of LASIK surgery. For guys and gals that wear corrective eyeglasses since childhood, it would really be a life changing experience for them. I know of some who hate wearing eyeglasses because it is quite troublesome. Aside from that, the wrinkles and the sagging skin in between the eyes and nose are not that attractive. Even if you had those titanium clad ones that are the lightest in the world; it wouldn't compare to going plain Jane everyday of the week. Dr. Thierry Hufnagel who has performed this procedure a lot of times has seen hundreds of patients benefit from this. He's the best person to ask from the STAHL Eye Center that has doctors from prestige universities such as John Hopkins, UCLA and Yale. LASIK has been able to get my cousin's eyesight back and now she can easily see everything once she wakes up in the morning. She went into a series of tests and they found out she was eligible to undergo the procedure. I was so excited we were able to go out at night with her a few days after. She was not able to do that at all previously because she could not see at night believe it or not. So people in the East Coast make sure you check out their branches at New York, Long Island and Manhattan. It would be the best thing you'll give yourself!

My Eye Care Needs

Wednesday, January 06, 2010


Today, I just had my eyes checked and they said that I have uneven gradation on my eyes. All along I thought I had 20/20 vision but this has brought a setback to the luck that I have been having since 2009. Maybe this is temporary, I do not know; because I never asked about it when the doctor was performing a check up. I called him just now and brushed it off because he said it can be easily cured. I would not like to wear corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses because of my active lifestyle. I did some research at Stahl Eye Center Garden City NY and found some valuable information on their site about a procedure called LASIK; where the eye treatment could heal in one or two days. This NO PAIN procedure has been done in STAHL EYE CENTER GARDEN CITY NY by awesome Doctors who mostly hail from world renowned Universities such as UCLA, John Hopkins and YALE. They are considered the best in the industry! My friend got this procedure done recently and she is not wearing glasses anymore. I will look into this great advancement in eye care so I could check out if it is feasible to be done on me. Wish me luck!

You Have to See Things Clearly

Tuesday, June 09, 2009


I was window shopping a few days ago and chanced upon an optical shop in the mall. They had various colors of contact lenses available and I wonder if it was safe to wear even if I did not have eye problems. In the Philippines, it was almost a norm to see young men and women to wear it for fashion. The deal is, they don't really know some of the dangers in wearing it. Predominantly, Filipinos only have black or brown eyes and going beyond that is unique. This is the biggest selling point of most optical shops, but here's a story.

Sexy local film and TV personality MAUREEN LARAZZABAL went out with her friends wearing her best evening clothes and green contact lenses to accent her look. She spends quite a fortune for it and in 25 years, it would have cost her roughly around $20,000. This is quite a big amount because a single US dollar equals 47 Philippine Pesos in this side of the world. Tired and weary from her travel and shows, she forgot to take them off and slept throughout the night. When she woke up, she felt terrible pain and could not even open her eyes anymore. She was rushed to the hospital and doctors found out she was already suffering internal bleeding because of the contact lenses. She almost lost her sight on both eyes. They were able to save her but needed to rest for a few months and she was not able to work during this time. A lot of people were worried for her safety and realize that fashion is not going to be on top of a person's health. We all should know how to wear contact lenses properly or else, we will lose our eyesight.

As expensive as she might have spent for the lenses, she was still not safe. In this time where money is pretty hard to find, we should find ways to live within our means. There are procedures nowadays that can do better things for our eyesight. LASIK has been part of a huge eye health revolution when it was patented in 1989. Thousands have benefited from this and there are new developments in LASIK surgery. Today, the iLASIK procedure only takes minutes and the cost has dramatically gone down over the years. There are computers that can literally generate blueprints so that each cornea reshaped would be perfectly done. The technology has gone advanced that a friend of mine who has tried the procedure even went home the same day. I hope people get educated and be given sufficient information so nobody would suffer the same fate as Maureen did. Get those eyes fixed instead of resorting to temporary solutions that could further damage your eyes. We all deserve better!
