No Objections: Atty. Gideon Pena’s Quick Journey To Perfect Vision

/4 Comments/in /by

Despite a hectic schedule, it is also important for a lawyer to enjoy his life outside the court as well.

Already a renowned lawyer, Atty. Gideon Pena wants to have the best of both worlds. He wants to enjoy his personal life as much as his professional career.

He knew that to be able to do that, he needs to have a brighter vision as his blurry eyesight has been holding him back for the longest time.

Atty. Gideon then set his sights of having LASIK at Shinagawa.

“It took me almost a year to decide whether to undergo LASIK,” said Atty. Gideon. “Upon prodding of my friends who underwent LASIK, I took an appointment with Shinagawa for a comprehensive eye checkup.”

He shared the time when it became clear to him that having LASIK was indeed the way to go for a better life.

“Then Christmas came. I spent the holidays in Japan with good friends. We went to Fuji-Q and took a rollercoaster ride near Mt. Fuji. I felt so bad that I wasn’t able to clearly see the famed mountain during the ride, not because it was covered by clouds (because at that time it wasn’t), but because of my blurry vision — glasses weren’t allowed for obvious reasons,” he shared.

“I knew at that time that I want to, nay, I had to undergo LASIK. And I did!”

His LASIK procedure, featuring Shinagawa’s state-of-the-art Schwind Amaris, went as smooth as silk. In a snap, he already has a beyond perfect vision.

“You know what’s funny? The time it took me to decide was much longer than the entire LASIK procedure,” said Atty. Gideon.

It only took seven minutes for him to get a brighter vision. That’s definitely way faster than all of his court hearings.

“When I finally decided to have LASIK, I was amazed by how fast the procedure was. The procedure proper only took 7 minutes. Yes, 7 minutes to change my eye grade from 500+ to 20/16.”

Atty. Gideon’s decision of enhancing his life by having better eyesight was indeed one he was very proud of. Still, he had a bit of regret prior to his life-turning procedure.

“If there’s any regret I have, it’s not having LASIK earlier.”

Don’t have that same regret. Instead, have a better life right away by having LASIK to get the bright vision that you deserve.

Key Precautions To Take After LASIK | Shinagawa Lasik & Aesthetics

Key Precautions To Take After LASIK

/0 Comments/in /by

Just like other surgeries and medical procedures, following the doctor’s orders, and necessary instructions are significant in LASIK to avoid any complications and have a successful process.

As you may know, the recovery time for LASIK is drastically quicker compared to other surgeries. However, to make that possible, a patient also needs to do its part well for things to go right as it should be. Post-operation care is important and required to obtain expected outcomes.

With that, here are the important precautions after LASIK that you should strictly comply with for proper healing to be ensured:

1. Take a much-needed nap the soonest after LASIK – Automatically, a LASIK patient will be required to take an immediate rest and sleep for a few hours after the surgery as sleeping will radically reduce the natural discomfort and speed up the recovery.

2. Wear protective eye shields – Right after LASIK, you will be provided a protective eye shield and you should wear that, accordingly. It is essential for you to wear the provided shields, even when sleeping, for the first few days after the surgery to protect your eyes from infection and you from rubbing them to avoid disruption of the corneal flap.

3. Wear sunglasses – Since your eyes are expected to be extra sensitive to sunlight, it’s also important for you to make sure you wear sunglasses when you go out for at least a week after LASIK. Exposure to UV Rays makes your eyes susceptible to scarring or regression.

4. Take medications as prescribed – You will also be provided various eye drops that you would need to apply in a timely manner as well as medicines to help ease the discomfort and fast-track the recovery. The prescribed medications are there to help you prevent infection and irritation, and reduce inflammation.

5. Don’t rub your eyes – It’s going to be tempting and it’s tough to put your hands off of your eyes but you have to. As mentioned, the protective eye shields are there because you simply cannot touch your eyes after LASIK. If you touch and rub your eyes, there’s a chance that the corneal flap created in the procedure might be displaced, leading to possible complications. You will be strongly advised to avoid rubbing your eyes for a month after LASIK.

6. Avoid makeup – For girls, it’s difficult to not have makeup for a prolonged stretch but if you happen to have LASIK, you should refrain from wearing makeup for at least a week, except the eye area, after your procedure. Applying makeup in your face, especially around your eye area, creates a risk of accidental injury to your corneal flap or infection from contaminated makeup products. Eye makeup should be allowed a month after LASIK.

7. Avoid strenuous exercised and activities – Any physical and strenuous sports or activities are strictly prohibited for a month after LASIK for obvious reasons. You will know from your post-operation checkups when you can be cleared for more physical activities.

8. Get in touch with your doctor right away if you experience any of these – Constant pain and irritation in the eye, prolonged body sensation, or persistent burning and tearing.

At Shinagawa, you will be oriented properly prior to your LASIK to make sure that everything will be done to achieve the excellent results that are expected from the procedure.
