For someone who lives life to the fullest, it’s essential to have a sharp vision for every occasion.

For a travel and lifestyle blogger like Mirriam, having sharp eyesight is a requisite for her to be able to maximize her craft and passion.

She was struggling with her poor vision and the inconvenience of her glasses for years. Fortunately, that’s all in the past now.

Upon learning that having LASIK at Shinagawa can do wonders, getting the procedure for a brighter vision was a no-brainer for her.

“I’ve been four-eyed for years. When I learned about Shinagawa’s LASIK, I told myself that I would have that procedure no matter what, and I did,” shared Mirriam.

Her expectations were indeed met as her LASIK went smooth as silk.

“My LASIK procedure was just about 5 minutes only and it was totally painless!”

There’s no looking back now for Mirriam as she is definitely relishing the convenience and beyond-perfect vision that LASIK gave her.

“I now have a 20/16 vision, even better than 20/20! Now, I can do everything without having to wear glasses.”

Lastly, she’s grateful at how Shinagawa made her LASIK journey a memorable and life-changing one.

“The staff and doctors of Shinagawa were all very informative and accommodating. Thank you, Shinagawa!” expressed Mirriam.

Differences Between Cataract And Glaucoma

/2 Comments/in /by

Cataract and glaucoma are eye conditions that can potentially cause loss of vision. However, don’t be confused as they have significant differences.

While cataracts are painless and gradual and are manifested by transparency loss, glaucoma can either be slow and subtle, or quick and painful. Having a cataract results in cloudiness as light is prevented from entering the eye properly, causing blurry vision. Glaucoma is the condition wherein the buildup in the pressure of the eye causes some damage to the optic nerve, which is the critical link of the eye to the brain to process visual information.

Since it is curable for most of the time, cataract, though possible, is an unlikely cause of blindness. On the other hand, glaucoma can cause irreversible blindness and shall be treated accordingly.

Both cataract and glaucoma can be treated surgically however, the loss of vision that the latter can cause cannot be reversed whereas that can be reversed with cataract surgery.

Cataract surgery is quite different from the surgery that treats glaucoma. In the cases of cataract, the cloudy lens of the eye is removed and then replaced with an artificial lens. As for glaucoma, its surgery often involves the use of a laser which is used to open up the tiny canals that are blocked to stop the fluid from escaping from the front of the eye. When the conditions are caught and treated properly, there is a good chance that the outcome can be positive. Glaucoma demands early diagnosis as intervention is necessary.

The symptoms of glaucoma are quite different from cataract as it can suddenly happen and can be the cause of rapid loss of vision along with severe pain, blurred eyesight, and nausea.

For cataract, when it begins to have a detrimental impact on your everyday life, it is the time to have them surgically removed.
