Lutein for eye

Lutein for eye

Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid a pigmented nutrient that is responsible for the yellow colors of fruits and vegetables and is present in the highest quantities in dark, leafy green vegetables. You're born with a certain amount of lutein in your eye, but your body doesn't reproduce it.

Why is lutein important to my sight?

The macula is the region of the retina responsible for central vision. It's also the area that is most sensitive to blue light, the part of the visible light spectrum that, along with ultraviolet light, can damage your eyes. Lutein helps protect against this damage by filtering blue light before it can damage the macula.* If sunglasses are the first line of defense against blue light, lutein is the last.
 

How much lutein do I need?

Without adequate consumption, the amount of lutein in the eye may deplete with age. Leading doctors recommend you get at least 6 mg of lutein per day to help maintain proper eye health. Since your body doesn't make lutein, you must constantly replace it through the foods you eat. Dark, leafy green vegetables like spinach or kale are especially good sources. But you'd have to eat over 2 bowls of raw spinach every day to get the recommended daily dose of 6 mg of lutein. Taking a multivitamin may help, but many multivitamins contain only a fraction of the recommended 6 mg of lutein. In fact, the leading multivitamin contains just .25 mg of lutein − a mere 4% of the recommended amount.

 A great source of lutein

Ocuvite® eye vitamins are the easiest way to ensure you get the amount of lutein that leading doctors recommend. They contain high-quality FloraGLO Lutein¹ plus other vitamins and minerals you need to help maintain your eye health now and to help preserve your vision in the future.*

What Is EyeDream Advanced Orthokeratology?

 

             

What Is Eye Dream lens?

 

EyeDream is a vision therapy that brings a modern approach to a technique known as orthokeratology. EyeDream provides clear, comfortable vision without the need to wear contact lenses during the day. No more restrictions on how long you wear your lenses, no more irritation in dry, smoky environments or at the end of a long day.

EyeDream is ideal for low-mid short sighted people who:

• Want clear natural vision all day - every day
• Find soft contact lenses do not fulfil the comfort demands their life-style places on their eyes
• Are involved in recreational and sports activities where periods without wearing contact lenses is ideal
• Have considered refractive surgery because of the freedom it provides, but are worried about the risks

So how is this possible?

Very simply, EyeDream is a specially designed contact lens that reverses the power of the cornea, at the front of the eye during overnight wear. Once the full effect has taken place, the eye is effectively ‘normal’ and can see clearly during the day.

With EyeDream you will benefit from:

• Freedom from contact lenses and glasses during the day
• Very easy adaptation, only overnight lens wear required
• A comfortable, semi-permanent alternative for the correction of short sightedness
• A safe and reversible vision correction therapy without surgery

Introducing

EyeDream is a vision therapy that brings a modern approach to a technique known as orthokeratology. EyeDream lenses are manufactured from special highly oxygen permeable material. When worn during the night these lenses apply a controlled shape to the ‘window’ at the front of the eye (the cornea), eliminating your short sightedness. This effect stays strong enough for you to function the entire day without spectacles or contact lenses.

EyeDream utilises the tried and tested DreamLite lens design that has been available in Europe since 2002 and currently boasts thousands of happy patients. EyeDream is available to patients with the following degrees of short sightedness:

A spherical spectacle prescription of -0.75D up to -4.50D
Astigmatism of up to -2.50D

As well as being an expert in all types of contact lens fitting, your eye care practitioner will have attended an extensive programme of training prior to treating patients with EyeDream in order to be better familiarised with our technique and lens design. Your practitioner will be able to advise you as to your suitability for EyeDream.

 

Healthy eye in the spring

Each year, we are affected by yellow dust, particularly from the end of March to April. Yellow dust mixes with air pollutants that can adversely affect the respiratory tracts and the eyes.

What is yellow dust?
Yellow dust refers to dust from the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts, other deserts in China and Mongolia, and the upper regions of the Yellow River of China. This dust travels on upper air currents to reach Korea on western winds.

The particles range from 10 micrometers, the size of silt, to 1000 micrometers, the size of coarse sand. Yellow dust stays in the air for two to five days at time in Korea, and mostly occurs in April. Yellow dust is also known as “Asian dust.”


The effects of yellow dust
Yellow dust passes through China, a country that is rapidly industrializing and produces sulfur dioxide gas and other harmful substances. It mixes with these pollutants and hence has adverse effects on our health. Yellow dust pollutes the atmosphere with yellow-brown colored dust that contains silicone, cadmium, lead, aluminum and copper.

It leads to a four-fold increase in the dust content of the atmosphere. This dust penetrates deep into the respiratory tract and causes conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. It can cause conjunctivitis and dryness when it comes in contact with the eyes. Therefore it is important to respond appropriately to prevent the effects of yellow dust. In severe cases, it can lead to problems with airplanes, cars and precise electronic devices. It can block out sunlight and block the stoma of green plants and crops, hindering their growth.

Measures against yellow dust
When yellow dust hits, people inhale three times the normal amount of dust. The metallic content of the dust can range from two to 10-fold the normal amount. Therefore, those who suffer from bronchitis, asthma or eye conditions should take particular caution.

Allergic conjunctivitis
The first reaction to yellow dust is eye conditions, leading many patients to visit ophthalmologists. Yellow dust and the dry air of spring can cause reactive conjunctivitis and allergic conjunctivitis. During spring, the air contains more pollen and allergens and causes seasonal conjunctivitis. Those who have atopies or are sensitive to particular types of pollen can experience seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in spring. This often occurs together with allergic rhinitis or sinusitis. The main symptoms are itchy and watery eyes, red eyes and the sensation of having foreign objects in the eyes. There can also be a sticky discharge from the eyes, and in severe cases, the whites of the eyes can swell up.

It is best to avoid going outside if these symptoms arise. If you have to go outside, you should wear protective glasses, and wash your eyes and nose with lukewarm water when you return home. Avoid washing with salty water as it can irritate the eyes. If you think you may have conjunctivitis, run cold water over your eyes and blink a few times, or use ice packs on your eyes for symptomatic relief. You can put 2 percent cromolyn sodium in the eyes as a preventative measure. Other vasoconstrictants and antihistamines can also be used to treat allergic conjunctivitis. If this does not help, see a specialist for prescription eye drops. Self-diagnosis or the use of eye drops for a long period of time are not recommended, as more serious conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts can develop.

Another type of allergic conjunctivitis in spring is keratoconjunctivitis. This is also common in children who have atopies. It is less common than seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, but can cause significant pain and discomfort due to its chronic nature. It usually affects those aged 10 years and under, and can last from two to 10 years. It tends to regress naturally once the patient reaches puberty. It is twice as common in boys than girls, and is more common in warm, dry areas. Therefore, it is common between April and August in countries such as Korea, which is in the warm northern hemisphere.

Symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis include itchiness, the sensation of foreign objects in the eyes, sticky and mucous discharges, sensitivity to light and hyperemia conjunctivae. It also produces characteristic giant papillae on the conjunctiva of the top lid. Unlike seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, this disease can cause lesions on the cornea, and can thus significantly impair vision. Therefore, it is important that it is treated by an ophthalmologist. The treatment is similar to that of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, but because it is a chronic condition that can also affect vision, it is treated with mast-cell membrane stabilizer with regular follow-ups with an ophthalmologist.

Ocular migraines

Ocular migraines cause vision loss or blindness lasting less than an hour, along with or following a migraine headache. Experts sometimes call these episodes "retinal," "ophthalmic," or "monocular" (meaning one eye) migraines.

This problem is rare. It affects about one out of every 200 people who have migraines. Some research suggests that in many cases, symptoms of ocular migraine are actually due to other problems.

Recommended Related to Migraines/Headaches

Migraine Triggers: Your Personal Checklist

Things that can trigger a migraine headache include foods, drinks, activities and exercise, medications, stress, too much or too little sleep, bright lights, hunger, odors, and hormones, among other factors. To figure out what causes your migraines, print the list below. Then check for triggers at the first signs of a headache. Review the list every few weeks or months to see if you can spot a pattern. Chances are, the items that get the most checks are your triggers. After you've narrowed down...

Read the Migraine Triggers: Your Personal Checklist article > >

Diagnosing ocular migraine requires a health care professional to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. Being able to describe the symptoms properly is important for helping your doctor determine whether you actually have an ocular migraine.

 

Ocular Migraine Symptoms

According to the International Headache Society's definition of this condition -- which it calls retinal migraine -- symptoms include:

Vision problems that affect one eye. These problems include:

• Flashing lights
• Blind spots in your field of vision
• Blindness in the eye

Vision loss can be a complication of retinal migraines.

Headache that lasts from four to 72 hours. The headache tends to:

• Affect one side of your head
• Feel moderately or very painful
• Pulsate in intensity
• Feel worse when you're physically active

Other symptoms include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Unusual sensitivity to light or sound

An important symptom is that the vision loss only affects one eye. Many people have trouble identifying the difference between flashing lights or blindness in one side of their vision -- but involving both eyes -- and these symptoms in only one eye.

A regular migraine with an aura, which can involve flashing lights and blind spots in the vision, is a more common problem. This type affects about 20% of people who have migraines. But in these cases, these symptoms usually appear in one side of your field of vision and in both eyes.

Covering one eye and then the other can help you tell if your problem is affecting one eye or both.

Ocular Migraine Causes

Experts aren't sure what causes ocular migraines. Some feel that the problem is related to:

• Spasms in blood vessels in the retina, the delicate lining in the back of the eye
• Changes that spread across the nerve cells in the retina

People who have these migraines may have a higher risk of developing permanent vision loss in one eye. Experts don't know if preventive treatments for migraines -- such as tricyclic antidepressants or anti-seizuremedications -- can help prevent permanent vision loss. However, it's wise to talk to your doctor about your symptoms.

 

Diagnosing Ocular Migraine

To diagnose ocular migraine, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and examine your eyes. The doctor will try to rule out other problems that could be causing similar effects. These include:

• Amaurosis fugax. This is temporary blindness due to lack of blood flow to the eye. The symptoms can be due to a blockage in an artery leading to the eye.
• Spasms in the artery that supplies the retina with blood
• Giant cell arteritis. This causes inflammation in blood vessels. It can lead to vision problems and blindness.
• Other blood vessel problems related to autoimmune diseases
• Drug abuse
• Conditions that encourage abnormal blood clotting; these include sickle cell disease and polycythemia.

Ocular Migraine Treatment

There's been little research to determine the best course of medications to treat or prevent ocular migraines. However, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following drugs:

6 tips for your eye

 

1. Eat for Good Vision

Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts, studies show. Regularly eating these foods can help lead to good eye health:

• Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards
• Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
• Eggs, nuts, beans, and other non-meat protein sources
• Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices

Eating a well-balanced diet also helps you maintain a healthy weight, which makes you less likely to get obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults.

2. Quit Smoking

Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration. If you've tried to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep trying. The more times you try to quit smoking, the more likely you are to succeed.

3. Wear Sunglasses

The right kind of sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Too much UV exposure makes you more likely to get cataracts and macular degeneration.

Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side. Polarized lenses reduce glare when driving.

If you wear contact lenses, some offer UV protection. It's still a good idea to wear sunglasses for more protection, though.

4. Use Safety Eyewear

If you work with hazardous or airborne materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles every time.

Certain sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury. Wear eye protection (such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses) to shield your eyes.

5. Look Away From the Computer Screen

Staring at a computer screen for too long can cause:

• Eyestrain
• Blurry vision
• Trouble focusing at a distance
• Dry eyes
• Headaches
• Neck, back, and shoulder pain

Taking the following steps to protect your eyes:

• Make sure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up-to-date and adequate for computer use.
• Some people may need glasses to help with contrast, glare, and eye strain when using a computer.
• Position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen.
• Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed.
• Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.
• If your eyes are dry, blink more.
• Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break.

6. Visit Your Eye Doctor Regularly

• Everyone, even young children, should get their eyes examined regularly. It helps you protect your sight and see your best.
  Eye exams can also find some eye diseases, such as glaucoma, that have no symptoms. It's important to find these diseases early on, when they're easier to treat.
  Depending on your eye health needs, you can see either an optometrist or an ophthalmologist for an eye exam. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in eye care. They can provide general eye care, treat eye diseases, and perform eye surgery. Optometrists have had 4 years of specialized training after college. They provide general eye care and treat the most common eye diseases. They don't do eye surgery.
  A comprehensive eye exam might include:
  • Talking about your personal and family medical history
  • Taking vision tests to see if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism (a curved cornea that blurs vision), or presbyopia (age-related vision changes)
  • Tests to see how well your eyes work together
  • Eye pressure and optic nerve tests to check if you have glaucoma
  • External and microscopic examination of your eyes before and after dilation
  You might also need other tests.

What is MPL?

The Medennium Phakic Refrective Lenses (MPL) are precision made optical devices, available in different model/size for intraocular implantation. The optical portion is biconcave or concave-convex and made from sillicon elastomer. The haptics are spherical  and flexible for ease of insertion, and the overall lens shape is designed to conform to the natural shape of the posterior chamber of the human ryr, and to move with the dynamic changes of the eye. Gross centration, if necessary, is achieved via haptic contact with the ciliary sulcus with precise centration achieved through the iris self-centering design. The MPL is not fixed to the ciliary sulcus but is allowed by designed to floating in its self- centered position.

Unique and Safe Design Implantation between iris and crystalline. Natural and precise self-centration by iris. The posterior surface of the lens is designed to conform to the shape of the anterior capsule of the natural lens and to move with dynamic changes of the eye. Spherical and very flexible haptics. Lens is not fixated to the ciliary sulcus. Lens dimensions, shape and material properties enable “floating” on the natural lens without touching it. A layer of aqueous surrounds the MPL, avoiding contact to the crystalline lens and the pigment epithelium of the iris. Overall diameter smaller than sulcus to sulcus distance avoiding compression of intraocular structures.

Monobloc Silicone Polymer Hydrophobic silicone material enables to float over the crystalline. High refractive Index 1.46

Optimized Design Features Rounded edges throughout its entire contour. Maximized optic sizing as large as 6.0mm for powers up to -15.0 diopters. 50% thinner edges (0.1mm) securing the presence of a gap while improving buoyancy. Full spread of powers between -3.0 diopters up to -28.0 in 0.5 increments. By adopting ISO labeling methodology the incremental values were redefined to more accurate levels providing users with smaller increments of refinement between available powers translating into even more accurate final results ** source: http://www.medennium.com/MPLMyopic.html ★Free Eye Exam and Consultation Request★ http://bit.ly/1D8nyFt For more information, refer to the following pages.

* Toric

m I a TORIC Candidate?
A Toric Lens restores the focus of the eye with pre-existing astigmatism.
The cornea is primarily responsible for focusing the light rays in our eyes. An irregular cornea which is not exactly spherical will cause spherical and cylindrical aberrations in the optical system.
A Toric EyePCL ensures correction of Spherical Aberrations in the eye while also correcting the Cylindrical errors.
A Monofocal or Spherical lens corrects only the Spherical errors and will not provide perfect quality of vision to the eye which has an irregular cornea, or in other words Astigmatism.

* Presbyopic

The Quick & Safe way to get Rid of your Reading Glasses
After approximately 40 years of age, most people find it increasingly difficult to see the near objects. This condition is known as Presbyopia and is a normal part of ageing. It develops as the lens of the eye becomes less flexible. Presbyopia should not be confused with by hyperopia or farsightedness, which is related to the size of eyeball.
The Presbyopic EyePCL Implantation is a procedure that ensures a hassle-free life, eliminating the need to use reading glasses after 40 years of age.

LASIK vs Relex Smile

“Clear sight” a blessing some of us are deprived of. The routine dependence on contacts or glasses can be sickening, particularly if it hampers outdoor activities like sports and adventure. To help people with imperfect vision, there have been various scientific advents. LASIK (Laser in-situ keratomileusis) is the oldest, while ReLex SMILE (Refractive Lenticule Extraction & Small incision lenticule extraction) is one of the latest.
LASIK is the laser refractive procedure which may has advantages like postoperative improvement and stabilization of visual acuity, but has its own share of drawbacks.
LASIK is not just painful but some of the patients may also suffer from side effects such as dry eyes, reduced vision in low lighting conditions. Visual distortions such as glare and haloes can still occur, while flap-related complications, inflammation, or infection in few if not many cases have been found to have serious consequences.
There exist better options
The ‘blade-free’ version of LASIK that uses femtosecond lasers has been a one of the major advancements in the recent times. But ReLex SMILE could be described as more advanced and much better technology. This has been available for some time now and has provided some of the most encouraging results which might not have been possible with basic LASIK. Introduced as a single laser refractive procedure without the use of a laser, ReLex SMILE is a single-step, single instrument operation. ReLex SMILE uses tissue removal instead of tissue ablation and it achieves a high precision of cutting. This contributes to the predictability of the procedure.
ReLex SMILE is an advanced technology which provides potentially a more accurate ablation. This is because it does not requires a retractable flap, thus reducing the surgical time. It also reduces the patient’s inconvenience of moving from one laser to another, as required in LASIK. Moreover, initial clinical results have also been promising, which found that postoperative refractive outcomes after ReLex SMILE were much better. Also the safety and efficacy of ReLex SMILE have been confirmed by various reach studies.

How is Relex SMILE better than LASIK?
ReLex SMILE is a novel form of ‘flapless’ corneal refractive surgery and is one of the most modern technologies available today. It uses only one femtosecond laser to complete the refractive surgery, potentially reducing surgical time and side effects. This technology could potentially and completely replace LASIK in the future. Just as good, or even better than LASIK in terms of refractive outcome, ReLex SMILE also has additional benefits, such as reduction in higher-order aberrations that leads to better quality of vision.

Whereas LASIK procedures involve cutting a flap, folding it back and removing the corneal tissue through point-by-point ablation using an excimer laser,
ZEISS ReLEx® SMILE utilizes the high-precision femtosecond laser VisuMax® from ZEISS to create a lenticule inside the cornea and access incision in a single treatment step.

Presbyopia eye surgery

1. What convinced you to go through the surgery? And what made you to choose This Clinic?

I came originally to have touch up LASIK. The original treatment 13 years ago was no longer adequate. I was told by Dr. Kim that although it could be done,because of my age (59) it was unlikely to last more than a few years. He then recommend lens replacement with specially designed corrective lenses that would free me from glasses of all types for the rest of my life.

 2. Tell us about what has changed since you had your surgery. What are the major changes comparing your life before and after the surgery?

Immediately after the surgery that nighttime halos were pronounced and although very pretty were a bit distracting. I now hardly see them (brain compensation) and find my vision to be spectacular. Good wt both 12 inches for reading and distance up to 1000 feet. Fantastic!

3. Were there any inconveniences during the recovery process? And tell us about how satisfied you are with your newly improved vision.

No issues other than the normal discomfort. In the u.s. You cannot have two,eyes done on the same day due to tiny risk of contaminated facility causing infection in both eyes. Although not mentioned at the time, it seems a real possibility, although extremely rare. Since JOEUNNUN s such a clean , immaculate facility, I had no concerns.

4. What were the most valuable and rememberable experiences at Joeunnun Eye Clinic?

 Friendly relaxed staff, professional nature of all, particularly Dr. Kim. Feeling the new lens slip into place was scary but incredible. In a matter of moments I could see!

5. Finally, what else do you want to tell us (our medical staffs, doctors, and nurses)? (Anything is OK including some of your wishes that may inform us to improve ourselves.)

 When I returned after two months I would have preferred to be seen by dr. Kim to determine if I need the minor follow up laser treatment, I'm still not clear that I do need it but have been given conflicting opinions at JOEUNNUN and a doctor in my home area in Virginia, USA. 

Overall,,very happy. The pricing was fair and reasonable and I would recommend it to my friends.

LASEK surgery

My name is Anita Michel and when I first came to Joeunnun Clinic I didn't realize how bad my eye-sight was. Practically being blind at -7, I was told that I'd have to do Lasek surgery which is the painful one and takes longer to regenerate after the surgery. The doctor did say that lately machines have been improved and it shouldn't hurt as much. Well, I guess I was lucky and it didn't hurt as much as I was expecting. I kept my eyes in dim light for 3 days after the surgery and had light headaches and burning in my eye, but overall it wasn't as bad. First few weeks I couldn't well very far or too close. But at my first check up after a month, I could see the smallest numbers on the eye-checking board and was more than happy with sich results. Having the hastle of dry eyes and wearing contacts and glasses makes anyone's life uncomfortable. But now thanks to the eye-surgery at Joeunnun clinic and their friendly personnel, that does speak English thank goodness,  I don't have to worry about not seeing well at night or playing sports freely. 감사합니다 ♡
