LASIK And Sports: How Quick Is the Recovery Period?

/0 Comments/in /by

Most people can play sports just a few weeks after LASIK. The visual reward that people experience after first hitting a tennis ball or baseball, kicking a soccer ball, or shooting a basketball with acute vision is one of the immediate and rewarding benefits of combining LASIK and sports.

It may be a burden for the athletically inclined to have to wear unwieldy rec-specs or goggles, or even contact lenses that often fall out during the heat of competition. Why needlessly continue to suffer the embarrassment of game stoppages while you search for a missing contact? It’s time to get some LASIK.

One of the most startling things about LASIK and sports for those who choose to partake in the vision correction procedure is the miraculously quick turnaround period for getting back to your normal life, including sports, exercise, and strenuous labor.

Within a few restful hours following vision correction, most participants fully regain previous levels of visual performance. While certain activities such as swimming may require a somewhat longer period of rest after the procedure (mostly a month), most sports may be played without hindrance shortly afterward. The caveat against swimming too soon after having LASIK is intended to reduce the risk of infection from immersion in potentially contaminated water. Therefore, you should refrain from participating in aquatic sports for at least four weeks following your LASIK procedure. Contact sports like ice hockey and tackle football should also be avoided for about one week after your LASIK treatment.

Talk to our expert doctors, and gain the vision you have always wanted. Your athletic ability and self-confidence on the field, court, rink, or waves will certainly improve. You still might not be able to play like a pro, but at least you’ll be able to see like one!

/0 Comments/in , /by

LASIK is a popular and effective procedure that corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, helping millions of people to see clearly without the need for glasses or contacts. However, many people still delay getting LASIK, often due to fear or lack of information. This post will explain why delaying LASIK can have serious consequences and why you should act now to improve your eyesight.

The Risks of Waiting Too Long for LASIK:

One’s eyesight is a gift that should be treasured and protected. If you wait too long to get LASIK, you may experience progressive vision loss, making it more difficult to see clearly. Additionally, waiting too long can increase your risk of age-related eye diseases, such as cataracts or glaucoma. These conditions can lead to further vision loss and may even make LASIK less effective. Waiting too long for LASIK can also make everyday tasks like driving and reading harder, lowering your quality of life.

The Benefits of Getting LASIK Sooner:

Getting LASIK sooner rather than later can have numerous benefits for your eyesight and overall well-being. Improved eyesight can increase your confidence and independence, making it easier to participate in activities you love. Since you won’t need glasses or contacts, getting LASIK earlier can also help you grow professionally and personally. Numerous people have already experienced the life-changing benefits of LASIK and you can too!

Factors to Consider When Deciding on LASIK:

When considering LASIK, there are several factors to keep in mind, such as age, overall health, eyesight stability, and cost. However, these factors should be weighed against the benefits of getting LASIK sooner, rather than later. It’s important to speak with a qualified LASIK surgeon to determine if LASIK is right for you and to learn about the risks and benefits of the procedure.

In conclusion, waiting too long for LASIK can have serious consequences for your eyesight and quality of life. By getting LASIK sooner, you can experience improved eyesight, increased confidence and independence, and new opportunities for growth. Don’t wait any longer to take control of your vision and make LASIK a priority today!

Riva Sofia Enriquez Dimailig's LASIK At Shinagawa | Shinagawa Feature Story

Riva Dimailig: Longtime Prayer Answered Brightly

/0 Comments/in /by

Yet another answered prayer.

For the longest time, Riva Dimailig’s plea was to regain 20/20 vision. Little did she know that it can surely be answered.

“God makes everything beautiful in his time. Who would have thought my longtime prayer was granted? It has always been my prayer to have my vision back to 20/20. Shinagawa answered my longtime prayer after I had ULTRA LASIK!” expressed Riva after achieving a 20/12 vision, even better than what she prayed for.

“I’m one of the living testaments that LASIK is life-changing! What a great blessing! I now see people clearly from afar. My prayer back then was just a 20/20 vision and now, I never imagined having an even better 20/12 vision!”

Riva struggled with wearing eyeglasses for 10 long years before she finally got the comfort she’s been looking for.

“I’ve been used to wearing glasses for 10 years. I was in college when I got to know Shinagawa Lasik Center. I never stopped hoping that I’ll undergo LASIK someday. A dream became reality!”

Armed with a bright vision now, it’s a matter of appreciating life and the world even more for Riva.

“I’ve always been amazed about seeing things clearly as it was before. Thank you very much, Shinagawa, you made it possible for me to see the beauty of God’s creations even more.”

If having a bright vision has been one of the constants in your prayers, we can most certainly help.

Commonly Asked Questions About Astigmatism | Shinagawa Blog

Commonly Asked Questions About Astigmatism

/1 Comment/in , /by

As many may know, astigmatism is a refractive error of the eye that is one of the leading causes of poor vision.

Let us know more about this eye condition that millions around the world may have by answering some of the most common questions about it.

What is astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a very common eye condition that causes blurry vision and is believed to affect 30–40% of adults worldwide. While it’s not a dangerous condition, it can significantly lower the quality of your vision if left uncorrected.

Uncorrected astigmatism causes blurry vision by distorting light as it enters the eye through the cornea, which is the clear covering on the front of the eye. To focus the light correctly, the cornea should be round in shape. However, in patients with astigmatism, the cornea isn’t perfectly round, and it’s this abnormal shape that distorts the vision.

How is astigmatism corrected?

In most cases, astigmatism can be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses to provide clear vision. In qualified patients, laser vision correction (such as LASIK) reshapes the cornea to be round and is an option for correcting astigmatism without the need for glasses or contacts. In rare cases, a hard contact lens may be required to correct high levels of astigmatism.

How does astigmatism affect cataract surgery?

For patients with astigmatism who also require cataract surgery, it’s important to understand that astigmatism might still degrade the quality of their vision even after surgery. There are now a variety of ways to correct cataracts and astigmatism at the same time to improve the visual result.

With over three decades of in-depth eye experience, Shinagawa is pleased to offer a full range of astigmatism correction to all qualifying patients using the latest techniques, including LASIK to reshape the cornea back to normal.
