Relaxing Our Eyes In A Digital World

/0 Comments/in , /by

Many people spend an average of 8-10 hours a day looking at digital screens. This can cause digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome.

Symptoms may include dry, irritated eyes, blurred vision, and often headaches. Relaxing our eyes and getting proper treatment in a digital world is that essential.

Research has proven that there is a correlation between certain eye discomfort and vision problems and the frequency, length of time, and the ways you interact with digital screens. Your level of discomfort directly correlates to the amount of time you spend on digital devices (even your cellphone).

In this digital age, our eyes are having to cope with the maximum level of stress, as we’re always focusing our attention on all sorts of screens. This makes our eyes much more vulnerable to complications. So, we need to be careful to protect our eyes and thus live a joyful life.

Protecting your eyes can save your vision, especially in the years where visual problems are more likely to occur. If you use digital screens and devices often, you may need regular eye exams more often to avoid vision problems.

Benefits Of LASIK During COVID-19 Pandemic | Shinagawa Blog

Benefits Of LASIK During COVID-19 Pandemic

/2 Comments/in , /by

The benefits that LASIK can provide you during a pandemic are immeasurable.

One of the best benefits right now is that you’ll be able to see better than you ever have without the need to touch your face, worry about contact hygiene, or adjust to wearing glasses 24/7. It’s convenient, it keeps your eyes safe, and you’ll have the bright vision you need.

LASIK is a low-risk procedure at the best of times; right now, that’s still true. Compared to other eye surgeries, it’s actually one of the safest to perform during this pandemic. LASIK is a quick surgery to perform, so you won’t have to spend a lot of time with the surgeon or staff during the surgery.

Overall, if you get LASIK at Shinagawa right now, you’ll be in an even more sterile and safe environment than ever before, but you’ll have the same great results that come from LASIK surgery whether there’s a pandemic or not.

In other words, LASIK will give you vision as good or better than your contact lenses give you, and you will likely be safer from the virus in the long run post-LASIK than you are with contact lenses now and in the future.

If you’re concerned about using your contact lenses during a pandemic, it’s time to seriously consider having LASIK at Shinagawa. In the long-run, you’ll find that your eyes are safer and healthier without the need to touch your eyes so often.

At Shinagawa, we’ve performed literally millions of laser eye surgeries, so you know you’re receiving the best surgery performance and the highest-quality care available.

PresbyMAX: The Best Treatment for your Presbyopia | Shinagawa Blog

PresbyMAX: The Best Treatment for your Presbyopia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even if you’ve had a perfect or good vision all your life, at some point typically after age 40, presbyopia will affect you.

From around 40 years of age, the near vision of almost all people distinctly declines. This is not caused by any sort of visual defect, but rather a perfectly natural, age-related process whereby the lens of the eye loses mobility. For that reason, the eye becomes unable to adjust clearly to different distances.

Blurred vision, especially at close range, is the result.

For the treatment of presbyopia – the medical term for age-related long-sightedness – alternatives to reading or varifocal glasses along with multifocal contact or intraocular lenses are now available.

PresbyMAX is designed to fix presbyopia problems of middle-aged people, allowing them to have a brighter vision minus the hassles of reading glasses.

PresbyMAX is a minimally invasive laser eye procedure that treats presbyopia (also known as ‘reading vision problems’). This superior eye treatment is powered by the Schwind Amaris 1050RS, the fastest excimer laser technology today, and enhances not only distance and near visual acuity but also the patient’s range of clear vision. The following conditions can also be corrected at the same time with PresbyMAX: myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (irregular eye shape).

If a patient turns out to be ineligible for LASIK due to presbyopia or reading problem, PresbyMAX is one of the recommended alternatives. On average, patients who seek PresbyMAX treatment are over 45 years of age.

  • Short, minimally invasive treatment time of just a few minutes
  • Rapid restoration of near vision
  • High quality of vision at all visual distances
  • Simultaneous correction of visual defects such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • Proven safe and effective treatment with the use of a technologically advanced Schwind Amaris eye laser system.

The treatment is completed in just a few minutes, and the actual laser ablation takes only seconds. The procedure neither touches nor replaces the sensitive lens of the eye. Rather, rapid laser pulses gently model the cornea with high precision.

Several different treatment variants are possible with the PresbyMAX procedure. Your specialist will advise you about the variant which suits you best.

Unlike conventional LASIK treatment, multiple precisely calculated focal points are created in the eye – similar to the principle applied in multifocal contact or intraocular lenses. The cornea is modeled at the center for near vision and towards the periphery for distant vision.

This results in a good depth of field and high-quality vision at all distances. Visual acuity typically improves rapidly, especially at a near distance. Adaptation to the new visual impression usually takes slightly longer than after conventional LASIK treatment.

Suitable Candidates

Not all patients are suitable or qualified to undergo PresbyMAX. The following categories are considered for suitability for PresbyMAX:

  • Patients who are exclusively presbyopic and wish to do without reading glasses
  • Presbyopic patients with uncorrected myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • Presbyopic patients who have already undergone laser treatment with the goal of optimal distance vision and have had a good experience with it
  • Presbyopic patients who have already undergone cataract surgery and now wish to be able to
    read without corrective lenses.

Shinagawa now offers PresbyMAX as a one-stop solution to your presbyopia problems! Let us help your live your life to the fullest in your 40s and beyond with a better all-around vision!
