Managing Digestive Disorders

My name is Lilith Maclin and if you suffer from a digestive disorder, you can find a wealth of information about this type of medical condition in my blog. Three years ago, my husband was having severe stomach cramps and his doctor told him that he had a digestive disorder called ulcerative colitis. After my husband was diagnosed, I did thorough research to learn how to control and manage this disorder. We kept track of everything that my husband ate and when a certain food caused a flare-up of his condition, he eliminated that food from his diet. By learning all we could about this digestive disorder, my husband has been able to live pain free. If you want more information about this disorder and how to manage it, you can find it here by reading my blog.

Your Simple Guide To Lasik

Louella Davidson

If you have issues with your vision, then you may be a good candidate for Lasik eye surgery. If you are interested in learning more, and you may want to go this route, then this guide can help. You will learn some basic information about the procedure, so you will be able to make a more educated decision. Here is more on Lasik. 

What things can Lasik help with?

Lasik eye surgery can't help all vision problems, but it can help a lot of people. The procedure can help those who have astigmatism, are nearsighted, or are farsighted. These issues make up a good amount of people with vision issues. If you have one of these conditions, then it may be a great option for you as well. 

How does Lasik help your vision?

Lasik eye surgery will reshape the cornea of your eye, which controls the way light enters and is perceived, as well as changes your focusing power. Since the procedure corrects what is wrong with your vision, you will likely no longer need to wear prescription glasses after the surgery has been done, or you will need them much less than before. 

What is done during the procedure?

The surgeon begins by numbing your eyes with drops. They then create a flap in the cornea, fold it back, and reveal the underlying part of your cornea. A laser is used to remove some of the tissue which reshapes the cornea. The reshaping is the major goal of the surgery, as it is what will allow you to focus accurately. Once the reshaping is done, the flap is put back over the cornea. The numbing drops ensure there is very little pain with the surgery. Some people worry they will have stitches in their eyes, but there are no stitches involved.

What is the healing process like?

The healing process from Lasik is fairly easy for most people. You will be sent home with eye drops that help to control inflammation. The drops also help prevent infection, so it's important to take them as instructed. You will also have drops to help with moisture, so your eyes aren't dry, which would make you more uncomfortable. 

The healing process is generally a very fast one. You should notice you have significantly better vision in just a few days. Follow all the post-op instructions given to you. Also, make sure you go to your follow-up appointments to ensure everything is going smoothly.\
