I’m tired of wearing glasses and don’t want to bother with contacts, but I want to see clearly under my own power. What are my options? Can it fix my vision to 20/20 perminantly? What are the costs? What does the procedure consist of? Is it worth it? Any other info/facts you could give?

It’s definetely worth it, like a .0001% risk with a good doctor and you can get perfect vision for maybe 5-10 years? costs are in the thousands but it pays back for money spent on lenses… try google?

Is it easily accessible in all the cities or just KL.

Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Houston, Texas who do you recommend for Lasik vision correction for astigmatism? What is the approximate cost? What do I need to know?

If you are thinking about getting Lasik Surgery, be aware that there are some slight risks involved. Although these risks only occur only 5% of the patients, before getting Lasik surgery, take a look below at some of the pot ential complications.

Halo, this is one of the most common side effects associated with getting Lasik Surgery, this includes small glares, a halo’s that are associated with night vision and sometimes the patient may experience dry eyes.

Under Corrected or Over Corrected Vision: When this occurs the patient will need further treatment or corrective lenses and or contact lenses. The great news is that these complications do dissipate between a few days to 3-6 months after Lasik surgery. For more information it is best to ask your doctor and ask for stats from his or her patients.

Implantable Lenses for Natural Occurrences:

Although Lasik Surgery can correct vision, it does not prevent the onset of Presbyopia, which in laymen terms is the decline in vision that those in middle age and after experience. This can be noted when one has to ready with corrective lenses. The best treatment and the most reliable treatment for Presbyopia is contact lenses. Some patients do not like the daily hassles of messing with contact lenses, dry eyes, etc, and opt to have a lens implanted to replace their eye’s natural lens. This is an option if you experience nearsightedness, which most common resulting from Presbyopia. From a professional and medical opinion this is the best option for those whose vision cannot be corrected with Lasik Surgery. Now, on to more Lasik complications.

Light Sensitivity.

This complication is one of the most common of those who undergo Lasik surgery. This side effect will generally last around 5 days after Lasik Surgery.

“Starbursts”, Glare and the Infamous Halo

These are classified as general vision problems when the flap of the corneal does not correctly adhere after replacement. This side effect will disappear after the first month. Another cause for this is when the pupil will dilate larger than the previous treatment zone.

Dry Eyes

This side effect shows itself through redness of the eyes, sometimes blurred vision, itchiness of the eye, eye crusting, or the false sensation that an object is in the eye such as dust or dirt.

Astigmatism

This is when the cornea becomes warped as a result of Lasik sugery, this warping is due from scarring and results in a complete failure of the Lasik surgery. Those who experience this side effect will still have to wear corrective lenses.

The great news about these side effects is that the further advances in Lasik technology can reduce the amount of these side effects. Infact there this a new Lasik procedure call Intralasik which is bladeless and uses a laser. The result is less complications with the flas that can cause Astigmatism. Since these new developments, the risks for the above side effects diminish rapidly and as science and technology drive forward less instances will be noted by patiences.

Over the last number of years, the world has witnessed amazing advances in the field of medicine, especially with the advent of LASIK laser eye surgery. This revolutionary procedure has both given hope and excited those who experience problems with their eyesight.

But what exactly is LASIK eye surgery?

What happens during LASIK laser surgery is that the lasers correct refractive errors in the cornea. The laser perfectly controls the tearing of the corneal tissue, thereby reshaping the cornea and changing its focus. LASIK surgery follows a simple two step process:

1. A slight, thin flap of tissue is created on the outside layer of the eye or cornea. This flap encourages healing and provides comfort on the way to better vision.

2. The surgeon folds open the flap on the inner cornea to correct the eyesight. Once this is done, the flap is closed to its original position and sealed with stitches.

The word LASIK refers to Laser-Assisted In Sutu Keratomieusis, a process which is characterized by the reshaping of the cornea to refract light in the lens. While LASIK eye surgery is by no means perfect, it is a very viable and increasingly safe surgery.

Government regulations have led to improvements regarding the types of lasers to be used for LASIK laser surgery. If you or anyone you know are considering LASIK laser surgery I would advise you to carefully research the types of lasers used by your local doctors when performing LASIK.

New improvements coupled with the regulated costs of doctors mean that Lasik surgery has become more affordable, making it a possibility for some who could only dream of such improvement a few years back. Some surgeries are referred to as “bladeless” or “custom” LASIK, meaning they are more tailored towards the individual and are therefore more effective

Finally LASIK surgery is an exciting prospect to anyone who has suffered from vision problems in the past. However, just as when buying a car or house, you need to carefully consider all your options before embarking on LASIK.

Until recent years, most people with cataracts just had to suffer with slowly losing the ability to see anything clearly. The cataract would spread throughout the eye lens and eventually leave the patient blind. With the invention of Crystalens, however, came salvation.

First, let’s start with a bit of an ophthalmic glossary so we’re all on the same page.

· IOL – an acronym for IntraOcular Lens

· Intraocular lens – used to replace old or diseased natural eye lens

· Cataract – a clouding of the normally clear crystalline lens

· Crystalline lens – flexible, transparent structure located behind the iris that focuses rays of light onto the retina

· Retina – a membrane that lines the inside of the back of the eye; contains light-sensitive nerve cells that convert focused light into nerve impulses

· Accommodative – the ability your eye has to quickly refocus from near to far to near to farther, based on what you are viewing

Now that we have a better idea of what is involved in seeing clearly and what a cataract really is, let’s talk about how Crystalens has been changing lives.

Crystalens is an implantable IOL that, as stated above, replaces the original bad lens in your eye. There are two other IOL options but they aren’t accommodative like Crystalens. The other IOLs only give you clear vision at one distance. Crystalens gives you clear vision at near and far distances.

The process of replacing your damaged lens with the implantable Crystalens is really fairly simple. After your eye is numb from anesthetic eye drops, the surgeon uses ultrasound to gently disintegrate the original lens. The small bits are carefully suctioned out of the eye through a very small incision. Next, the Crystalens is inserted through the same incision and gently but accurately laid into place. That’s it! No pain, and clear vision to gain. For many people, you can go back to reading a newspaper without glasses, you can see your computer monitor easily and clearly, and your distance vision will likely be close to perfect.

Even though having a cataract develop can be scary at first, you can rest in the knowledge that, with the help of a well-qualified and experienced laser vision correction surgeon, you can see clearly again.

India’s health care services industry is poised to become a major driver of economic growth as first-world patients, driven out of their own systems by high costs and crowded conditions, look for cheaper places for medical care. For India, new terms such as health tourism, health care outsourcing and medical back office support are suddenly gaining currency. The health care sector in India has witnessed an enormous growth in infrastructure in the private and voluntary sector. The private sector which was very modest in the early stages, has now become a flourishing industry equipped with the most modern state-of-the-art technology at its disposal. It is estimated that 75-80% of health care services and investments in India are now provided by the private sector.

What is Endopyelotomy Surgery?

This operation is done to open up a narrowing of the ureter. This is the tube that goes from patient’s kidney to patient’s bladder. A nephrostomy tube (a small drainage tube) is passed through an incision (cut) in patients back into patient’s kidney.

A ureteric stent (small hollow, plastic tube) is then passed through the nephrostomy tube into the ureter. This stent makes sure that urine (pee) drains from the kidney to bladder. The nephrostomy tube may be removed after patient’s stent is in place. Patient’s stent will stay in place for a few weeks.

What does the procedure for Endopyelotomy Surgery involve?

Two approaches are commonly used for Endopyelotomy; both these techniques are performed under general anesthesia. Patient will be required to stay in the hospital for 2 days following the Endopyelotomy procedure:

·Antegrade Endopyelotomy – In this procedure, the ureteropelvic junction of the kidney is approached from the side through the Nephrostomy tube. A blade is used to cut the UPJ and relieve the obstruction. The entire procedure takes about 2 – 3 hours. The nephrostomy tube is left in after Endopyelotomy.

·Retrograde Endopyelotomy – This procedure is performed by approaching the UPJ via the urethra. The Retrograde Endopyelotomy instrument contains a balloon that dilates and at the same time cuts to relieve the obstructed UPJ. This technique of Endopyelotomy is performed under general, regional or intravenous sedation. The entire procedure of Retrograde Endopyelotomy takes about 2 hours.

Benefits of Endopyelotomy Surgery:

·Short hospital stay

·Quicker recovery

·Less pain during post-operative period following Endopyelotomy

·Less need for pain medication

·Quicker return to normal activity and work

·Smaller incisions and less scarring

·The advantage of this approach is two fold. Primary placement of the stent helps to define the appropriate site and direction for the endopyelotomy incision, allowing marsupialization of the proximal ureter into the renal pelvis. Use of this technique also obviates the need to pass a large-caliber stent after the endopyelotomy incision has been made, thereby avoiding a potential risk of ureteropelvic junction disruption.

Risks of Endopyelotomy Surgery:

·Failure of the operation

·Excessive bleeding

·Infection (at the operation site or the urinary tract)

·Injury to other organs and tissues

Cost of Endopyelotomy Surgery:

Endopyelotomy surgery cost depends on the particular surgery that is being performed, its complications and also depends on specific hospitals and geographical areas and even countries. For e.g. In India Endopyelotomy surgery is performed at a very low cost, compared to countries like United States. Patients planning to undergo Endopyelotomy surgery should make sufficient inquiries to their doctor regarding the surgery, surgery procedures, risks, cost estimates and alternate treatments available etc.

Further they should choose a hospital that is known for its quality rather than just on the basis of cost alone. Also, patients should ensure that the when then estimate the cost of the surgery, they should consider the cost of the surgery, surgeon fees, other hospital expenses like stay, anesthesia cost, cost of medicines, any treatment or facility or nursing required during the recovery period etc.

Insurance companies also provide coverage for Endopyelotomy surgery and will reimburse the cost of the surgery. Patients should confirm with their insurance providers regarding their specific insurance plans, surgery details and get the coverage information before undergoing the surgery.

Why to get Endopyelotomy Surgery in India?

As it is known, medical procedure prices are extremely high in the United States. In the past 30 years, the costs of health care have soared in developed countries, especially in the United States. Due to rapidly escalating health care costs, Americans, Europeans, Canadians and Australians in ever increasing numbers began to search for alternatives that could reduce their personal out of pocket medical expenses. In the last few years, millions of people from developed nations have chosen to come to India.

India facilitates uninsured and underinsured American patients seeking affordable medical treatments along with an opportunity to explore mystic Asia and near by tourist locations. Health care in India is comparable too much that is available in the United States, and at a far lower cost. Medical procedures in India cost approximately 20% to 30% compare to the ones in U.S. Unlike many of its competitors in medical tourism, along with World-renowned Consultants and Surgeons, India also has the technological sophistication and infrastructure to maintain its market niche and Indian pharmaceuticals meet the stringent requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration. A growing number of uninsured and underinsured Americans seeking low cost quality medical care and surgery are boarding plane to India. India has the top-notch centers for open heart surgery, pediatric heart surgery, hip and knee replacement, eye surgery, dentistry, bone marrow transplants and cancer therapy and virtually all of India’s clinics are equipped with the latest electronic and medical diagnostic equipment.
