Getting Older doesn’t have to include Getting Glasses

November 25th, 2009 admin 1 comment

As we all inevitably age, so do our eyes. This is reflected in the slow natural degeneration of the eye’s ability to focus on near objects, called Presbyopia. This explains why most middle-aged people need to get reading glasses after being caught holding the newspaper at arm’s length. Common symptoms of presbyopia are decreased focusing ability for near objects, eyestrain and headache. If this sounds anything like you or someone you know, it may be time you to look into treatment for this progressive condition.

At Siems Advanced Lasik Eye Center in Las Vegas, they offer complete eye care for this and all other optic conditions. Dr. Siems and his staff would love to meet with you to not only give you a complete eye exam, but to suggest options for treatment. If you think you are suffering from presbyopia or another condition, you have several options for treatment. Glasses are not the only way. Lasik surgery has been proven to correct this inevitable condition quickly, painlessly and without the need for costly contact lenses or glasses.

Need an alternative to Lasik surgery?

November 12th, 2009 admin No comments

If unfortunately you are not a candidate for Lasik surgery because of thin corneas or a high prescription, you may still be able to become free of optical aides such as glasses and external contacts. Unlike traditional contact lenses, an implantable contact lens is surgically placed in front of the eye’s natural lens and works with the natural lens to correct your vision. These thin, pliable lenses can be an alternative to LASIK surgery and are used to correct conditions that laser surgery may be unable to correct, such as extreme myopia (nearsightedness). The ICL procedure is virtually pain free and has a 95 percent success rate. This surgical technique takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes and the contact lens is permanent, alleviating the hassle of daily contacts and glasses. Dr. Siems successfully implanted ICLs in his own nephew. To learn more about ICL’s or to ask Dr. Siems a question, please Click Here.
