How ICL Rescued Jayco Calandria’s Flailing Vision

Is your eye grade around 1,000 already?


Don’t feel hopeless. Something can most certainly be done for you to gain a bright vision.

When it seemed hopeless, we found a way to give Jayco Angelo Calandria, who had lots of visual issues, a bright vision for him to enjoy life better again.

“For the past 14 years, I’ve been wearing eyeglasses. My eye grade right then was 1,000 for both eyes and I also have a thin cornea, high myopia, and astigmatism,” shared Jayco, who is a dedicated government employee.

The answer was Implantable Contact Lens (ICL). It saved Jayco’s vision and enabled him to see in HD again.

“Having ICL is the best investment that you could give yourself and it’s also the best decision I ever made! Now, it’s time to celebrate freedom from eyeglasses! I can now see the world clearly with happiness!”

Jayco also shared just how frustrating and difficult it was for him with his previous visual struggles before having ICL.

“I’m always annoyed with my foggy eyeglasses. I can’t even wear shared or can’t do small activities like playing basketball. In short, I can’t even enjoy without wearing eyeglasses.”

“I can’t express how happy I can about the result of my ICL! It is life-changing! I highly recommend Shinagawa Lasik Center! Thank you for delivering the best eye care!”

Impact of Smoking on You and Your Family’s Vision

Health risks from smoking are well known, but little attention is paid to the increased risk of eye disease and the potential for blindness.

Smoking has detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system and can affect the small blood vessels that line the retina in the back of the eye. Increased high blood pressure and the risk of stroke are directly linked to smoking, which can destroy the delicate blood vessels inside the eye and can lead to blindness.

The risk of age-related diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts is greatly increased in those who smoke, as well as certain cancers of the eye. Smoking increases the risk of serious vision loss in people with other eye diseases.

When women smoke during pregnancy, they are more likely to give birth prematurely, putting their babies at higher risk for a potentially blinding disease called retinopathy of prematurity.

Smokers are more likely to have dry eye and irritating eye symptoms than non-smokers, not to mention others who are around smoke and get red, irritated eyes. Quitting smoking, or not starting in the first place, is a way to ensure that good vision is maintained for as long as possible, for you, and your friends and family members, who are negatively affected by exposure to second-hand smoke.

does eye shape affect vision

Does Eye Shape Affects Vision?

Eye shapes play a crucial role in vision.

The cornea and crystalline lens focus light in the eye. Light passes through the vitreous humor, a clear gel inside the eye, and strikes the retina at the back. The retina’s rods and cones pick up light and send a clean image to the optic nerve and brain’s visual cortex if everything is working properly. The cornea and lens concentrate light based on the eye’s shape and the distance from the lens to the retina. These shapes produce myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

Myopia or Nearsightedness

Myopia, the most common vision problem across the world, is caused by abnormal eye shape. Generally, myopic eyes are longer than normal—the distance from the cornea to the retina is greater than in a normal eye. This causes light to converge in focus too soon, before hitting the retina, so by the time it hits the retina it is blurry. Nearsighted patients can usually see close objects clearly but have poor distance vision.

Hyperopia or Farsightedness

Hyperopia is the opposite of myopia—the eye is too short. The point where light would converge in focus in the eye is behind the cornea, so the light does not have enough distance to travel. This prevents farsighted patients from clearly focusing on close objects.

Astigmatism vis

While hyperopia and myopia are caused by overall eye shapes, astigmatism is caused by the shape of the cornea itself. Normal corneas are curved equally in all directions, like a section of the outside of a ball. Astigmatic corneas are curved irregularly, like the surface of a football. This prevents light in the eye from focusing at a single point and causes distorted vision.

LASIK and Eye Shapes

LASIK treats these problems not by reshaping the eye, but rather by reshaping the cornea to make up for the shape of the eye. For myopic eyes, the cornea is flattened, causing light to converge at the cornea instead of before it. LASIK for hyperopia does the opposite—the curvature of the cornea is increased to focus light closer. For astigmatism, the curve is simply evened out to provide a clear focus.

The shape of your eyes determines how good your vision is naturally. Fortunately, LASIK can correct irregularly shaped eyes.
