With modern developments, there is no need for any contact lens wearer to suffer from dry eyes, so get help and remove the irritation.Contact lenses and dry eyes are soon to be a thing of the past! - More LASIK and Dr William Boothe
Until recently, contact lenses and dry eyes seemed to come hand in hand. Modern technology, however, has developed several ways for contact lens wearers to deal with dry eyes. When eyes become dry, they can be irritable, bloodshot and in severe cases, vision can become impaired.
Dry eyes occur for a number of reasons, although there is thought to be a particular link between extended contact lenses and dry eyes. Dry eyes are also prevalent with older contact lens wearers as tear ducts become less effective with age. Problems with contact lenses and dry eyes become exacerbated when wearers spend a considerable length of time in front of a computer screen or in an air-conditioned environment.
DR WILLIAM BOOTHESpecific Contact Lenses for Dry Eyes There are some manufacturers that deal specifically with the problem of contact lenses and dry eyes. For example biomedics offer their own range of frequency 55 contact lenses for dry eyes. The higher water content can be a real benefit for those suffering from irritated and dry eyes.

Trifocals - (TRI-foh-kul) Corrective eyeglasses with three powers of correction: far distance, near distance, and intermediate distance. Typical reading glasses are bifocals which use most of their surface to correct for far distance, and have a small area at the bottom edge which corrects for near distance (reading). Trifocals also have a middle area which corrects for intermediate distance. Bifocals and trifocals are usually prescribed for people with presbyopia.

Corneal Abrasion - A scrape or scratch on the cornea, the front surface of the eye.
Corneal Ectasia - A complication of LASIK similar to the inherited condition of keratoconus. It can happen when the eye was over-treated by a LASIK procedure, so that not enough thickness is left in the cornea to contain the eye's internal pressure. That pressure pushes against the cornea and causes it to bulge outward. Vision then becomes progressively worse.

One may experience increased sensitivity to light and some blurring of vision but these are normal and will clear up in a matter of 3-4 days. Doctors often give eye drops or oral medication to prevent infection and to counter some minor side-effects.
Recovery is also quick and the person can resume normal activities after 4-5 days.Dr. Boothe, the doctor uses a computer to adjust the laser for your particular prescription. You will be asked to look at a target light for a short time while he or she watches your eye through a microscope while the laser sends pulses of light to your cornea. The laser light pulses will then painlessly reshape the cornea.
You'll hear a steady clicking sound as the laser is operating. You're also likely to smell a mildly acrid odor due to the tissue removal. Dr. Boothe, the higher your prescription, the more time the surgery will take. The surgeon has full control of the laser and can turn it off at any time.After the procedure is finished, you will rest for a little while.
