			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Children should have their first eye examination at the age of just 6 months. Upon reaching the age of 2 or 3 years old, a follow-up exam can be conducted as it is during this age when rapid development of the visual system occurs and corrective vision if necessary is most effective. The earlier some eye related problems are diagnosed, the greater are the chances of a complete and effective recovery.</p>
<p>After the child&#8217;s initial eye exam, regular eye examination can be conducted every two years and more frequently should your family have any history of eye disorders. You are fully aware that children in school use their eyes frequently to read and to perform other school related activities so it is very much essential that they get to have a regular eye exam. While schools may regularly conduct eye screening tests, such only tackle distance. Vision problems like near vision, focus and eye coordination may not be detected by such screenings as long as you have a 20/20 distance vision. Untreated eye related problems can cause not only headaches and discomfort but possibly cause learning disabilities.</p>
<p>Parents should correct and identify vision problems early on to avoid academic problems in the future. The child&#8217;s vision problem could probably interfere with their learning ability. Parents should be keen on certain warning signs signaling vision problems such as excessive eye blinking and squinting, regular headaches, dizziness, difficulty with hand and eye coordination and the holding of objects too close when trying to view it. If you notice any of these behaviors or conditions, it is best to immediately pay your eye doctor a visit for consultation.</p>
<p>Also, if your child is very much active in sports, wearing protective eyewear can help prevent eye-related injuries. Some examples of sports where children need to wear protective goggles include baseball, basketball, ice hockey, soccer, football and many more others. Protective goggles should fit comfortably and should be made of proper materials. Make sure that it has 100% UV protection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LASIK surgery is a laser vision correction procedure approved for the treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and in some cases, presbyopia correction. Before making your decision, learn about the LASIK procedure, its benefits, and its risks, and discuss any questions you have with your doctor. It can treat both myopia and hyperopia with or without astigmatism.</p>
<p>The surgery is worthwhile for anyone who is unhappy wearing glasses or contact lenses. The surgery is best suited for healthy patients who are at least 18 years of age. The surgery may now also be an option for presbyopia correction; the surgery can correct one eye for distance vision and the other eye for close vision in a procedure known as Monovision.</p>
<p>At the vision correction centers, surgery begins after the patient is made comfortable with numbing anesthetic eye drops. The surgery itself is virtually painless, and results can be seen immediately. Those who found out about <a href="http://www.hines-sight.com">LASIK eye surgery</a> open their once blurry eyes and are instantly able to see the alarm clock and the beautiful morning &#8211; no glasses and no contacts.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to be aware that the surgery is not a guarantee of perfect vision, and some patients may require additional surgery to further enhance their vision. And there may be complications. We don&#8217;t know the long-term effects of the surgery. However, the vast majority of patients who have undergone laser eye surgery are happy with the results. In addition to general ophthalmology care and regular eye exams, eye surgeons usually offer their patients the latest vision correction procedures, including LASIK, Custom LASIK, PRK, Intacs for Keratoconus, and Cataract Surgery.</p>
<p>LASIK eye surgery, or Laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis, has changed the way millions of Americans have viewed the world for several years now. Before making your decision, learn all you can about the procedure, its benefits, and its risks, and the cost of laser eye surgery. Discuss any questions you have with your eye doctor or laser vision surgeon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself suffering from the problem of cataracts, you may be forgiven for thinking that the only way to improve your sight is to undergo lens replacement surgery. This, however, is no longer the case as there is a non-invasive alternative to <a href="http://www.aboutcataractsurgery.com">cataract surgery</a> in the form of a soothing eye drop called Can-C, this breakthrough eye drop quickly improved the visual acuity of over 90% of the cataract patients tested in controlled clinical trials.</p>
<p>But what are Can-C Eye Drops and are they better than opting for cataract surgery? To answer specifically you must prepare to be taken back a bit to a few of the science lessons you had at school.</p>
<p>It is known by researchers that the young and healthy human eye contains high levels of a natural di-peptide antioxidant called L-carnosine. Scientists recently learned that the eyes of those who were developing cataracts, and other degenerative ocular diseases, were found to be extremely lacking in this particular, and essential, ocular antioxidant.</p>
<p>In the United States, Cataracts have become an increasingly common cause of decreased vision as our population ages and lives longer. In fact Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss among people over 55. This may be a reflection of the changing demographics of our population. In 2006, 80 million “baby boomers” began turning 60 and it is estimated that by 2011 there will be 40 million people above the age of 65 in our population-and by 2020 there will be close to 55 million!</p>
<p>Fortunately Cataracts are readily treatable. Cataract Surgeons and patients have benefited from advances in technology, making Cataract Surgery and Lens Implants one of the most frequently performed as well as one of the safest and effective types of surgery available in the United States today. In the United States, the incidence of age related Cataracts has been reported to be approximately 42% in those aged 52 to 64, 60% in those aged 65 to 74 and 91% in those aged 75 to 85.</p>
<p>Each year Cataract Surgeons in the United States provide Cataract Surgery to a growing number of patients. They successfully perform more than 3 million Cataract operations and restore vision after Cataract Surgery by implanting tiny, permanent artificial Intraocular Lens Implants or IOLs to achieve vision correction after surgery.</p>
<p>For most people, the cost of cataract surgery is partially or completely covered by private insurance or Medicare, making cataract surgery costs a manageable expense.</p>
<p>The technology of Cataract Surgery is truly amazing. Modern Cataract Surgery is usually performed using a microsurgical technique called “phacoemulsfication” whereby the Cataract is gently “chopped up” and “suctioned” to remove it. There are many technological advances in Phacoemulsification that have enabled skilled Cataract Surgeons to perform Cataract Surgery and provide Lens Implants through very tiny incisions requiring only eye drops, rather than needles or injections, for anesthesia and without the need for stitches or a patch after the surgery. This allows patients to have a very quick visual recovery. In most cases patients can have the added comfort and convenience of having their Cataracts removed in an outpatient ambulatory eye surgery center rather than a hospital.</p>
<p>So, that is the reason why there are several medical services companies which have been operating for many years and have sustained to be on the top with their services. One of them is listed below:</p>
<p>In 2008 the <a href="http://www.aboutcataractsurgery.com">Medical Management Services Group, L.L.C.</a>, a physician practice management company, introduced Aboutcataractsurgery.com in order to provide patients with access to commercially unbiased patient education information in the areas of Cataracts, Cataract Surgery, Cataract Surgeons, Lens Implants and Cataract Surgery Centers. The site is intended to offer eye care patients, their families and caregivers information to be used in conjunction with examination and consultation provided by an eye care specialist, in order to help patients have a greater understanding of their condition and treatment options so that they can make informed choices. To that end, the site is intended to help patients identify Cataract Surgeons and Cataract Surgery Centers offering diagnosis and various treatment options for Cataracts and an opportunity to learn about their experience, interests and credentials.</p>
<p>Although patients with Cataracts today should be reassured that the technology of Cataract Surgery &#038; Lens Implants along with the comfort, convenience and sophistication of outpatient cataract surgery centers can provide a safe and effective Cataract Surgery experience, the single most important choice one will need to make is in the selection of a Cataract Surgeon. Their expertise and experience is still the key to providing the best possible vision correction results and outcomes after the removal of Cataracts.</p>
<p>By using the information available in this website to learn about Cataracts, Cataract Surgery, Lens Implants, Cataract Surgeons and Cataract Surgery Centers you are taking the first step to becoming an educated patient who is able to make informed decisions about their eye care.</p>
