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

MEL90 Saving LASIK/LASEK for Vision Correction

MEL 90, the newer generation excimer laser

An excimer laser is a precise computerised intrument using invisible cool UV light to change the corneal shape. This cool light laser technique is a safe process and does not affect the surrounding tissue. Each pulse of the laser removes only a minute amount of corneal tissue.
The MEL 90 utilizes innovative technology: a narrow beam (about 0.7mm wide) contacts the eye at lightning speed in a pattern that allows the debris to clear in one place before contacting that area again. This technology produces a smoother corneal shape and helps increase the accuracy and efficiency of the surgery. The MEL 90 is equipped with an active eye tracker with an excellent response time to provide high-level treatment safety with very stable results.

At Kangnam Joeunnun International Eye Center, we have been using this new Zeiss excimer laser MEL 90 for refractive eye surgery. Unique product like the FLEXIQUENCE switch function, the ablation profile Triple-A and the outstanding intra-operative ablation speed up to 1.3 seconds per diopter create entirely new treatment prospects.

FLEXIQUENCE - Applied flexibility

The FLEXIQUENCE switch function lets you flexibly choose between 250Hz and 500Hz frequency. You can have twice the speed in a fraction of a second with a simple touch of the finger - enabling you to leverage both proven reliability and new treatment opportunities.

 

Triple-A Advanced Ablation Algorithm

The MEL 90 also features the Triple-A Advanced Ablation Algorithm. As a single ablation profile for a widde range of sphero-cylindrical (SCA) corrections, it simplifies treatment planning. Triple-A offers a high degree of precision and predictability. It comprises an aspherically opimized design that also focuses on minimal tissue removal.

Do I qualify for LASIK?

Are you the right candidate for LASIK?

Most people who have healthy eyes and have mild to moderate refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism) are good candidates for LASIK vision correction surgery. However, there are possible reasons that LASIK surgery might not be the right choice for you include:

• Unstable vision. LASIK is usually not recommended for teenagers under 18 because their vision often is still changing. You vision should be stable for at least one to two years before having LASIK surgery
• Dry eyes. Both the quality and the quantity of tears you produce are factors in the development of dry eyes, which also can affect healing after the surgery. You will undergo screening exam in advance of LASIK procedure to check for dry eyes.
• Keratoconus or other corneal thinning disorders.
• Other eye problems such as cataracts, advanced glaucoma, past ocular herpes infections, and eye problems caused by other health problems such as diabetes.
• Immune system disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, collagen vascular disease, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and AIDS. Use of medications such as steroids and immunosuppressants can slow or prevent proper healing of eyes after LASIK.
