Taking Out Contact Lenses

Again, make sure you wash your hands before taking out your lenses. Dry them off good as drier your fingers are better lenses seem to “stick” to them. Look up and use your index finger to slide lens down to outer corner of your eye, a same time, bring your thumb up to meet index finger and “pinch” lens. It should come right out between your fingers. Use a gently pressure – don’t poke at your eye. If lens doesn’t seem to want to move, put some eye drops in your eye to wet it a bit and hopefully this will help you slide it down

Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) is a fairly new procedure. This surgery takes under ½ hour and has a very quick recovery time. It uses radio frequency energy to reshape cornea and restore vision. This new procedure uses no laser or knife and is quite promising.

Although fairly safe, laser eye surgery is not fool-proof and in some cases may not work or in worst case, you could end up with worse eye sight than before procedure. Not everyone is a good candidate for procedure and those with certain medical conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes or other eye disease should discuss this option with their doctor.
