Nail fungus infection is a condition which can be embarrassing and even painful. Laser Nail Center is the world’s leading provider of a brand new laser nail fungus treatment which offers hope for those who have been suffering from this problem.

Using a revolutionary laser treatment, in just 30 minutes, Laser Nail Center can treat the pathogens that cause toenail fungus (Onychomycosis). Safe and without discomfort, in clinical studies it has shown an 88% effective rate, compared to leading prescription topical treatments that only provide an 8% effective rate after months of treatment. This leaves patients significant improvements in the health and appearance of their nails.

Since Laser Nail Center’s treatment is drug-free, there are none of the potential life threatening risks and possible liver damage associated with some perscription oral treatments that require constant physician monitoring and offer no guarantee of success.

The human eye is constructed like a camera …with a clear lens in the front and light-sensitive tissue at the rear. This tissue makes up the retina which acts like photographic film.

In an eye that has perfect vision, light rays passing through the pupil are focused by the lens to fall precisely at the center of the retina. There are many common problems that can affect the eye and prevent light rays from focusing properly on the retina.

Three of these problems, myopia – or nearsightedness; hyperopia – or farsightedness; and astigmatism can often be corrected or reduced with the use of PRK laser surgery.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too long or the curve of the cornea is too extreme. In this case, light rays are focused on a point in front of the retina – instead of on the retina itself.

Hyperopia, or farsightedness, occurs when the shape of the eye is too short. In this case, light rays are focused on a point behind the retina.
Astigmatism occurs when the cornea is unevenly curved,
causing light rays to fall off center or not to focus properly at all.
In either case, PRK laser surgery can be used to flatten all or part of the cornea …allowing your doctor to cause the focal point of light entering the eye to fall more closely to the center of the surface of the retina.

PRK is a simple and nonintrusive procedure that is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses. PRK laser surgery generally does not have any effect on a patient’s overall health and there are no risks in choosing not to have the surgery.

I removed the ability to add comments because the same questions keep coming up. People do not read the thread and just post their same old questions all over. I have other things to attend to but answering the same 5 questions eternally.

So if you have questions related to the surgery and how it happens (although it should be obvious on the vid already) then ask you surgeon or Google them.

Here are the top asked (serious) questions and the answers.

- Risks: It is risky, things can go wrong and when they do it is *VERY* bad because fixing them damaged eyes always results in worse sight and life than before you touched them to start with. Risks increase with the surgeon’s poor skills. Always ask around about the reputation of your surgeon and beware of cheap ones. Good surgeons have very low risk rates and the ugly ones are awful. The risk stats you will read in the net are like 5% it goes wrong, that is an average across all surgeons. Don’t think any surgeon has a 5% failure. It is usually 99,9% or 50%.

- Price: depends on the surgeon, as stated above beware of the cheapo’s. I paid 2700 euro’s. Recent reports of friends that went to the same surgeon reported 3000 euro’s. That is for both eyes. If you have a guy offering 500$ for an eye (or both), run away!

- Dry eyes: You get drops to keep putting in them, before, right after, and for a few months. After a year or so things get back to normal. I went to the Sahara desert two months after and forgot my sun glasses before leaving, NO PROBLEM!

- Flap (the slice) healing: According to some sites it never heals. Knowing a bit of science it is logical. What does heal quickly is the ultra thin layer covering the cornea. But actual facts: IT just sucks on it when placed back, it is not stitched nor glued. So the first 24 hours NOTHING SHOULD TOUCH YOUR EYES. You get goggles to sleep the first night to avoid overnight accidents. The next day the surgeon wants to check you out (if he doesn’t then change surgeon). The first weeks don’t touch your eyes! the flap takes up to two years to get its most strength and never is as strong as an untouched eye forever. So if you are a boxer or into other activities where your head gets banged DO NOT DO LASIK. Instead go for PRK (search Google for PRK). Dito if you want to be an airplane pilot (or if you are already). I heard LASIK eyes are forbidden in the fly world. After 6 months up to a year the flap is strong enough so as to it would need trauma big enough to even severely damage normal eyes too.

- Staring during the operation: No issue, there is nothing else to look at so no distraction and looking at the red dot is peanuts. Stop worrying about that. I’ve seen vids of blondes having the same surgery, do you estimate yourself inferior to blondes?

- Closing eyelids: Impossible, the clamps hold them steady. These clamps do not hurt (see below for pain).

- Pain: Nothing. There are painkilling drops in the eyes before the operation. The only thing “annoying” are the white swabs dipping the moist around the eye. It stains a bit. After the operation you are *VERY* sensitive to light (like daylight) for a few hours. So someone else will have to drive you home and you will be keeping the eyes closed.

- Dilated pupils. Yes you get drops to dilate them fully so the surgeon can see the area that needs to be done in its full extend. Without that, the risk to Lasik a to small area means that during nights your vision will suck because at night your pupils dilate too and the non corrected area let light enter your eyes with the vision troubles you had before. That is when people have blurred night vision, double vision, etc…

- Night vision with sparkles around light sources. This one was never asked but I mention it just in case you would creep out of it after you decide to do this. It is normal and will go away over time like the healing of the flap. It goes gradually and takes months. If you worry, ask your surgeon all about it, he can also double check your eyes after the surgery.

That’s all folks. Thanks for the many comments but now it is time to close this chapter.

I didn’t feel anything or experience any pain during surgery. Surgery was very quick. Vision for the first few days was a bit blurry but by the about the 4th day everything starts to become clearer. During the first 4 days post-op I didn’t experience any pain and there was hardly any period of being uncomfortable for me. It is now a little over a week and my vision is much better and continues to improve daily. I still can’t believe I don’t have contacts in and can SEE!!! I’ll be able to Snowboard, go to the gym, and do all sorts of physical activity without the hassle of contacts.
