Most customized wavefront procedures that also use laser-created flaps (IntraLase) cost from $1,000 to $2,500 per eye(wavefront LASIK combined with IntraLase costs an average of $2,357, compared with $1,694 for conventional LASIK.)


When you deal with centers and surgeons that advertise LASIK surgery at bargain prices, you would be wise to ask plenty of questions related to what a procedure actually costs beyond what is advertised.Some time they add hidden price in bills

Yeah, it is.But before undergoing a refractive procedure, you should carefully weigh the risks and benefits based on your own personal value system, and try to avoid being influenced by friends that have had the procedure or doctors encouraging you to do so." As such, prospective patients still need to fully understand all the potential issues and complications, as satisfaction is directly related to expectation.

"Current evidence on LASIK for the treatment of refractive errors suggests that it is effective in selected patients with mild or moderate short-sightedness," but that "evidence is weaker for its effectiveness in severe short-sightedness and long-sightedness.


The Ideal LASIK Candidate

The ideal candidate includes those who:

• Are over 18 years of age and have had a stable glasses or contact lens prescription for at least two years.

• Have sufficient corneal thickness (the cornea is the trans-parent front part of the eye). A LASIK patient should have a cornea that is thick enough to allow the surgeon to safe-ly create a clean corneal flap of appropriate depth.

• Are affected by one of the common types of vision prob-lems or refractive error – myopia (nearsightedness), astig-matism (blurred vision caused by an irregular shaped cornea), hyperopia (farsightedness), or a combination thereof (e.g., myopia with astigmatism). Several lasers are now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as safe and effective for use in LASIK, but the scope of each laser’s approved indication and treatment range is limited to specified degrees of refractive error.

• Do not suffer from any disease, vision-related or oth-erwise, that may reduce the effectiveness of the surgery or the patient’s ability to heal properly and quickly. • Are adequately informed about the benefits and risks of the procedure. Candidates should thoroughly discuss the procedure with their physicians and understand that for most people, the goal of refractive surgery should be the reduction of dependency on glasses and contact lens-es, not their complete elimination.

The ‘Less Than Ideal’

LASIK Candidate Sometimes, factors exist that preclude a candidate from being ideal for LASIK surgery. In many cases, a surgeon may still be able to perform the procedure safely, given that the candidate and physician have adequately dis-cussed the benefits and risks, and set realistic expecta-tions for the results. Candidates in this category include those who:

• Have a history of dry eyes, as they may find that the con-dition worsens following surgery.

• Are being treated with medications such as steroids or immunosuppressants, which can prevent healing, or are suffering from diseases that slow healing, such as autoim-mune disorders.

• Have scarring of the cornea.

More often, factors exist that may keep an individual from being a candidate immediately, but do not preclude the individual from being a candidate entirely. Candidates in this category include those who:

• Are under age 18. • Have unstable vision, which usually occurs in young people. Doctors recommend that, prior to undergoing LASIK, candidates’ vision has stabilized with a consis-tent glasses or contact lens prescription for at least two years.

• Are pregnant or nursing.

• Have a history of ocular herpes within one year prior to having the surgery. Once a year has passed from initial diagnosis of the disease, surgery can be considered.

• Have refractive errors too severe for treatment with current technology. Although FDA-approved lasers are available to treat each of the three major types of refrac-tive error – myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism – cur-rent FDA-approved indications define appropriate candidates as those with myopia up to -12 D, astigma-tism up to 6 D and hyperopia up to +6 D. However, laser eye surgery technology is evolving rapidly, and doctors may be able to treat more severe errors in the future.

The Non-LASIK Candidate

Certain conditions and circumstances completely pre-clude individuals from being candidates for LASIK surgery. Non-candidates include individuals who:
• Have diseases such as cataracts, advanced glaucoma, corneal diseases, corneal thinning disorders (keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration), or certain other pre-existing eye diseases that affect or threaten vision.

• Do not give informed consent. It is absolutely necessary that candidates adequately discuss the procedure and its benefits and risks with their surgeon, and provide the appropriate consent prior to undergoing the surgery.

• Have unrealistic expectations. It is critical for candidates to understand that laser eye surgery, as all surgical procedures, involves some risk. In addition, both the final outcome of surgery and the rate of healing vary from person to person and even from eye to eye in each individual.

BEIJING - China set a "surrender deadline", listed deaths and showed the first extensive television footage of rioting in Lhasa on Saturday, signaling a crackdown after the worst unrest in Tibet for two decades.

Meanwhile, the main Tibetan exile group said Chinese police killed about 100 demonstrators and injured many more during the protests. The Tibetan government in exile, based in the north Indian town of Dharmsala, offered no details in their statement, and quoted only "unconfirmed sources."

Official news agency Xinhua earlier said that 10 "innocent civilians" died in fires that accompanied bitter clashes in the remote, mountain capital on Friday. It said no foreigners died but gave few other details, and the report could not be verified.


China has accused followers of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, of masterminding the rioting, which has scarred its image of national harmony in the build-up to the Beijing Olympics and already sparked talk of a boycott.


Wat u all thinks of it..

A romance scam occurs when strangers pretend romantic intentions, gain the affection of victims, and then use that goodwill to gain access to their victims' money, bank accounts, e-mail accounts, and/or national identification numbers or by getting the victims to commit financial fraud on their behalf.

Scammers post profiles on dating websites to fish for victims. Upon finding victims scammers lure them to more private means of communication to allow for fraud to occur.

Some scammers use religious Beliefs the victims feel complacent, believing that the scammer has high moral values

Many romance scammers avoid answering personal questions and ask their victims many questions


Common variations

Narratives used to extract money from the victims of romantic scams include the following:

1. The scammer says that his or her boss paid the scammer in postal money orders. The scammer wants the mark to cash the scammer's money orders and then wire money to the scammer. The forged money orders leave the banks to incur debts against the victims.
2. The scammer says that he or she needs the mark to send money to pay for a passport. The scammer wants the mark to cash the scammer's money orders and then wire money to the scammer. The forged money orders leave the banks to incur debts against the victims.
3. The scammer says that he or she requires money for flights to the victim's country [9] and somehow never comes, or says that he or she is being held against his or her will be immigration authorities, who demand bribes.
4. The scammer says that he or she is being held against her will for failure to pay a bill or requires money for hospital bills.
5. The scammer asks the victim to package goods sent from one address and send the goods to another address. The victim does not realize that the scammer set him or her as a part of a stolen goods distribution scheme. If police investigate the trail, the scammer's use of mules makes tracing of the scammer more difficult. In addition many businesses do not trust Nigerian addresses, so scammers use mules' United States addresses to give the businesses the impression that their transaction is domestic.
6. The scammer makes a proposal of marriage and needs the victim to send them the cash for the ticket
