Davidsen's Multifocal surgery

 
 
I have been thinking of refractive lens exchange for a long time. I am staying in China for a job then I decided to google nearest countries who have the best Eye Clinic.I found one clinic with excellent review, JOENUNUN VISION CLINIC.I was hesitant in the beginning whether to do it or not because I'm worried about the language. I emailed them and they emailed back very fast . I went to Korea in their clinic for consultation ,Dr.  Kim   Explained me the nature of surgery in a very understanding manner and confidence to have fearless surgery,they tried their best to explained it to me in English. After that I decided to push through the operation,it took  15 min each eyes.The staff was so friendly,highly professional and sensitive to my needs. I was alone during the operation after the procedure they helped me to go to my hotel because my eyes are still blurry which is normal after the procedure.. They even help me order me pizza for my dinner. Doctor and the clinic staff were amazing . I have a better life after my surgery, no more reading glases. The recovery is in good progress just like i was told.
Thank you visionclinic

5 Foods for Healthy Eyes




You've probably heard that carrots and other orange-colored fruits and vegetables promote eye health and protect vision, and it's true: Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that gives these foods their orange hue, helps the retina and other parts of the eye to function smoothly.

But eating your way to good eyesight isn't only about beta-carotene. Though their connection to vision isn't as well-known, several other vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy eyes. Make these five foods a staple of your diet to keep your peepers in tip-top shape.






Leafy greens

They're packed with lutein and zeaxanthin—antioxidants that, studies show, lower the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.

Eggs

The yolk is a prime source of lutein and zeaxanthin—plus zinc, which also helps reduce your macular degeneration risk.

Citrus and berries

These fruits are powerhouses of vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.

Almonds

They're filled with vitamin E, which slows macular degeneration, research shows. One handful (an ounce) provides about half of your daily dose of E.

Fatty fish

Tuna, salmon, mackerel, anchovies and trout are rich in DHA, a fatty acid found in your retina
