/0 Comments/in /by

One of the most underrated facets of physical wellness is the importance of having healthy eyes.

The need to get eye exams on a regular basis is sometimes being overlooked and that is not a good sign, at least if you want to live a better life with a good vision and healthy eyes. You need to have your eyes checked just as much as you need your annual physical exams.

Having constant eye exams helps you take care of your eyes better. Eye exams promote eye health, prevent possible diseases and most importantly, help save your vision.

Regularly going to an ophthalmologist and/or optometrist at least once a year will most definitely help you maintain, or attain, a good eyesight and eye health.

With that, here are some signs that you need to have an eye exam the soonest:

1. Experiencing constant eyestrain – While it is only a common condition that occurs when your eyes eventually get tired from intense use, eyestrain can damage your eyes. It can be very annoying, too.

An eye doctor can provide you with a corresponding prescription that can ease up eyestrain and make it easier for you to see. Timely eye checks and examinations will ensure that your eyes and vision will be properly monitored and given right prescriptions accordingly.

2. You might be at risk for eye diseases – If you know you happen to have diabetes along with other risk factors that can possibly lead to eye disease, it is very important to have your eyes checked every now and then, even if you wear glasses or not. That is to prevent and treat eye diseases.

Eye doctors have the ability to treat of slowing the process of eye diseases and conditions such as cataract, glaucoma or macular degeneration if they are caught and detected in their early stages.

3. Your frames are outdated – If you happen to have an eye grade and regularly wear eyeglasses and contacts, you have to make sure that they are not outdated. To be able to do so, it’s important for you to have your eyes checked to know what’s best for them. New and updated glasses or contacts may already be necessary for you.

4. Eye exams can help diseases be detected – Another key reason to have regular eye exams is that it can help in detecting various diseases. Since exams enable eye doctors to see inside the eye and observe, they can detect and monitor early signs of serious diseases such as high blood pressure and multiple sclerosis.

When your eye pupils are dilated, possible health concerns and problems can be seen, some things that are normally not revealed. Having a comprehensive eye exam is most certainly another way to monitor your overall health and wellness, aside from maintaining healthy eyes and vision.

Having a good and reliable eyesight is always critical as it will allow you to live a full life and make things easier for you.

No Glasses, No Problem Rham’s New Adventure Starts With A Clearer Vision

No Glasses, No Problem: Rham’s New Adventure Starts With A Clearer Vision

/0 Comments/in /by

For a lot of people, wearing classes can be agonizing.

Rham Marco is one of those who was constantly having difficulties in wearing spectacles. She can’t stand the fact that she had to wear glasses every day just to be able to get through her various errands.

“I’ve been wearing glasses for 5 years and that has been a burden for me. For someone who likes experiencing things, glasses felt like a crutch. In fact, I refuse to wear them as much as I can. I wanted to be able to do things without having to wear glasses,” said Rham.

A sucker for adventures, Rham elaborated her daily struggles as she dealt with her poor vision and inconvenient glasses.

“I used to read the menu on fast food chains by zooming them on my phone’s camera, wear sunglasses even though it’s an added blurriness to my vision, I make sure that the UV I’m about to ride is going on that route when they stop directly in front of me, take selfies and only see what it looks like in my phone gallery, endure special events with everything being blurry, go directly in front of the monitor just to see what my coworker is showing me on their computer. Those are just some of the things I did with my then annoying 275/350 vision.”

Not wanting to just accept her everyday struggles, Rham made a stand and badly went after better eyesight, something she most definitely achieved.

“I just wanted to use my eyes properly, without needing anything. Then, I’ve heard about LASIK. When you’re desperate to have your vision back, you’ll look up anything. I was amazed when I saw about all these celebrities having 20/20 eye grades again and that they had it done in Shinagawa Lasik Center. I watched all the videos they have, read every testimonial, and made it my goal to get my perfect vision back too,” shared Rham.

After LASIK turned the tides around for Rham, she realized just how important it is to have a more reliable pair of eyesight for a better living.

“I’m so glad I had LASIK because I now have 20/12 vision, even better than my goal! I’m amazed at how everything is so clear to me now. Thank you, Shinagawa. You’ve made my life so much better and easier.”

Then, she also wants to make a difference and let others know how priceless having LASIK can be, given all its benefits.

“If you’re willing to spend money on cell phones, gadgets, or anything that will lose/decrease its value in 2 years, you most certainly can afford to have LASIK. It’s your eyes! You should be taking care of them and actually spending more because we use them every single day.”

Four More Surprising LASIK Benefits | Shinagawa LASIK Blog

Four More Surprising LASIK Benefits

/1 Comment/in /by

LASIK is known as a very effective procedure that gives a lot of people the bright vision that they always dreamed of having. Aside from that, it is also a given that LASIK can correct normal astigmatism.

Still, LASIK provides even more benefits that you might not know.

Here are four more unexpected advantages that LASIK can provide:

1. Better night vision – According to the most recent statistics and studies of LASIK patients, almost all of them have expressed that their night vision is drastically improved. Not having to deal with reflections and a poor refractive surface caused by dryness provides LASIK patients better night sight compared to their pre-LASIK vision.

2. Reduced allergy symptoms – Yes, even your allergy symptoms can be reduced by LASIK. Not having to deal with eyeglasses and contact lenses anymore, LASIK patients enjoy way less headaches, sinus pain, redness, and eye irritation.

3. Additional lines of sight – As LASIK corrects myopia and/or astigmatism, patients benefit as they gain additional lines of vision following the procedure. LASIK increases the patients’ clarity after surgery as refractive errors are best corrected in the corneal surface in the process. Glasses and contacts only correct those errors partially.

4. Improved peripheral vision – Even your peripherals can be improved by LASIK. Initially, LASIK provides an improved straight-ahead vision but also, it can enhance peripheral vision.

Aside from the straight-on benefits that LASIK can give, it can present you a whole lot more than just a perfect vision.

That’s why if you can be qualified for LASIK, there’s every reason to have it for you to have a better life.

What Does 20/20 Exactly Mean | Shinagawa LASIK Blog

What Does 20/20 Exactly Mean?

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s everyone’s dream to have a 20/20 vision but what does it exactly mean?

The measurement of visual acuity is normally measured and stated as 20 along with another number that’s why a 20/20 vision is considered as the normal vision. If the bottom number happens to be larger than 20, then the visual acuity is worse.

For instance, a person with a 20/100 has a worse visual acuity than someone with a 20/40 vision.

Aided by studies and a mathematical formula, it was calculated that an average person should be able to see clearly from 20 feet away. With that, a person that can see 20/20 can see as small as a 0.35-inch letter at 20 feet.

On the other hand, a person that has a 20/100 visual acuity can only recognize a 1.75 inch or larger letter 20 feet away.

In a nutshell, what a person with a 20/20 vision can see clearly at 20 feet, while a 20/100 seeing person would have to be several times closer than 20 feet away to see the exact same thing.

The charts for visual acuity measurements are all based on these scientific calculations. The first standardized eye chart was invented in 1862 by Herman Snellen, a renowned ophthalmologist. To this day, the exact similar charts are still used to measure vision. Vision charts are projected or digital, using a mirror in simulating a 20-foot long room.

While 20/20 is considered to be a normal or even perfect vision, do you know that there’s actually a vision beyond perfect?

Yes, that is very much possible. A lot of fortunate people can even see better than 20/20, like 20/16, 20/12 or even 20/10.

If you’re itching to live a life with a 20/20 vision or even better, there’s certainly a way for that. At Shinagawa, countless fortunate patients have had a better vision than 20/20 with some of them even reaching 20/10 following LASIK.
