Glare and Halos Worse with Glasses and Contacts than LASIK

June 6th, 2011

 

A recent large (3,800 patient) multicenter survey, the Needs, Symptoms, Incidence, Global Eye Health Trends (NSIGHT) study, found that about 50% of glasses- and contact lens-wearers  experience glare and halos more than three times a week.

About 40% of glasses and contact lens-wearers found the glare and halos unsatisfactory and had not been able to find a solution.   Add on top of that the dissatisfaction with frames, contact lens solutions, infections, and the dissatisfaction rate becomes, well, way too high.

In contrast, 97% of LASIK and PRK patients are satisfied and would recommend the procedure to a friend.  In large studies,  3% of LASIK and PRK patients are unsatisfied for any reason, including glare and halos, hating their mean doctor, no wifi reception, bad office coffee, or no beverages at all.

Further details of the study will be released over the course of the year in multiple journals.

Top 10 Reasons Latisse Beats Mascara (and Fake Eyelashes and Extensions) Any Day

March 31st, 2011

Latisse is a medication we dispense to our patients that you paint on your upper eyelid like eyeliner (only easier) each day.  Over the course of 16 weeks, you grow longer, thicker, *darker* lashes.  There is no chance of eye color change with pure light-eyed or brown-eyed patients.

Top 10 Reasons Why Latisse Beats Mascara (or Fake Eyelashes or Extensions) Any Day:

10) Never smudges

9) No fussing over buying the right color — the color comes out just right for you

8) No embarassing flakes on your cheeks

7) No black smudge under your eyes the next morning

6) Your lashes look the same after a whole day at the pool or beach – no raccoon eyes

5) No “ouch!” when you take off those fakes

4) The lashes are real.  They just grew.

3) You’ll finally have something to curl

2) Everyone will notice you look great and rested but won’t know why!

1) Your lashes look great and not fake and gunky when someone sees you up close and is about to kiss you…
