Hi Milan
I'm pasting the reply posted to that Bloke.Feel free to mail me.
Hi
Your suggestion regarding the use of lens instead of contacts was
good,but lastly you have rocemended Lasik,which is not right,I'm not
sure as to whether you are of the fact that a wave front corneal
correction or a Lasik or Zyoptix for that matter can be done only for
those who have attained the age of 22 years,with a power stability
for
two years.Check on this .Read and Refresh for yourself.

You may be a good candidate if you:
Feel that spectacles/contact lenses are a nuisance in your job,
sporting activities or
personal life
Suffer from the effect of scattered light (aberrations)
Have been told that your pupils are too big, or your corneas too
thin,for standard treatment
Need vision correction and have a prescription range of up to - 12.00
dioptres sphere
and - 7.00 cylinder
Have had stable vision for the past 2 years
Have healthy eyes, good general health and are not taking medication
that affects the healing process
Are older than 21
What can Zyoptix correct?
Personal factors to consider
Career Implications:
People in certain occupations - e.g. the Armed Forces or the Police -
may be prohibited from undergoing laser treatment. Always ask your
employer for advice.

Age:
Your surgeon might think it wise to postpone treatment if you are
under 21.

Time, after-care and commitment:
The treatment itself only takes a few minutes, but all the tests and
aftercare visits over a 3-month period will require your time and
commitment. You might also need check-ups at 6 and 12 months.

Money
Zyoptix may be more expensive than standard LASIK.

PLEASE NOTE: Only your surgeon can determine if you are a suitable
candidate for Zyoptix, based on appropriate diagnostic tests and your
medical history.

Medical factors to consider
You will probably be told you are unsuitable for Zyoptix if you have
contraindicated eye or health problems.

Ocular (eye) health:
Your surgeon will examine you for severe dry eye conditions,
infections, allergies, any corneal abnormalities or eye disease
(either existing or within your family) that could affect the healing
process.

General health:
Your surgeon will check with you that you do not suffer from diseases
that prevent you from having laser treatment and may well contact
your
GP. You will have to postpone your treatment if you are pregnant or
breast-feeding.

Medication:
Certain medicines might interact with the drops you will be given.
Some examples are - medication for migranes (triptans), hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) antihistamines and others. Your surgeon
will
advise you if and how your medication effects laser treatment. Be
sure
to tell your surgeon about any current or past health problems.

What prescription range can Zyoptix correct?
People may not realise how suitable they are for laser treatment,
because they wrongly believe that their eyes are not weak enough. In
fact, many patients with mild to moderate prescriptions undergo
LASIK.
But because Zyoptix removes less tissue than Bausch and Lomb standard
LASIK, it can be performed on people previously unsuitable for laser
eye treatments - such as those with higher prescriptions.

The limit of what can be corrected varies from person to person, from
surgeon to surgeon and from machine to machine. As a general guide,
the Zyoptix system can correct:

To about -12.00 dioptres of near-sight.
The range for astigmatism is up to - 7.00 dioptres (with near-sight)
Alternatives if you are not suitable for Zyoptix
Most people who want Zyoptix are able to have it, but if not, your
surgeon will be happy to discuss alternatives with you. For example,
PRK or prescription implanted intraocular lenses may be good
alternatives. A few people may have to accept the fact that they are
going to need spectacles or contact lenses - and it is worth knowing
that Bausch and Lomb manufactures a contact lens that can be worn
continuously for up to 30 days. This new range is called PureVision
and corrects up to - 9.00 dioptres.

Zyoptix: widening the scope...
Zyoptix means that people whose eyes were unsuitable for laser
surgery
may now be able to undergo treatment... reflecting your outlook

Improving your working life is not the only reason to choose Zyoptix.
Many active people who wear glasses or contact lenses feel they can
never realise their full potential in the sports and games they enjoy
so much... Talk to the clinic today, change your whole perspective.
