LASIK eye surgery is practiced by people who make use of glasses or contact lenses for nearsightedness (myopia). The FDA, in collaboration with the American Academy of Ophthalmology has developed some recommendations and some indications in the choice of the candidate more ideoneo for lasik eye surgery

* Minimum age: 18 years. The sight of people under age 18 usually continues to change.
* Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding stage because these conditions could alter the extent of refraction of the eye.
* Not recommended if you are taking certain prescription medications, such as Accutane or oral prednisone.
* In case of myopia surgery should be postponed until the LASIK refractive has been stabilized. Myopia may continue to rise until age 20.
* Not recommended for patients with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, glaucoma, herpetic infections of the eye or cataracts.
* It is possible that a person who feels comfortable using glasses or contact lenses is not willing to undergo this surgery. For this must weigh the risks and benefits.
* It should consider the personal expectations about the surgery and determine whether they are realistic.
* In case of presbyopia, LASIK does not solve corrections to the same eye to see both far and near.

The FDA has approved the excimer laser is to correct a myopia of up to -12.00 D * -4.00 D of astigmatism, farsightedness (Hyperopia) and from 1.00 to 6, 00 with 1.00 D of astigmatism.

Two attractive young women are sitting in a bedroom having an intimate conversation. The lighter-skinned woman has a boyfriend and, consequently, is happy. The darker-skinned woman, lacking a boyfriend, is not. Her friend’s advice? Use a bar of soap to wash away the dark skin that’s keeping men from flocking.

Hindustan Lever Limited, one of India’s largest manufacturing and marketing conglomerates, discontinued two of its television advertisements for Fair and Lovely Fairness Cold Cream this month, after a year-long campaign led by the All India Democratic Women’s Association. Increasing public criticism may be initiating a change in cultural attitudes towards skin whitening in India, a country where the fairness industry accounts for 60 percent of skincare sales, bringing in $140 million a year. The company is the Indian subsidiary of Unilever PLC, based in London.

In a memo to India’s National Human Rights Commission, Brinda Karat, general secretary of the women’s association, calls one of the ads “discriminatory on the basis of the color of skin,” and “an affront to a woman’s dignity,” because it shows fairer women having greater job success based on their sexuality.

Fair and Lovely, one of Hindustan Lever’s “power brands,” is marketed in over 38 countries. Its frequently-aired ads typically show a depressed woman with few prospects gaining a brighter future by attaining a boyfriend or job after becoming markedly fairer (emphasized by several silhouettes of her face lined up dark to light). On its Web site the company calls its product, “the miracle worker,” which is “proven to deliver one to three shades of change.”

The ad targeted by the women’s association shows a woman, whose father had lamented not having a son to support the family, landing a well-paying job as an airline attendant after using the product.

Hindustan Lever failed to respond to All India Democratic Women’s Association’s complaints, first sent in March and April 2002. The women’s association then appealed to the Human Rights Commission, which passed its complaints on to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The government recently issued notices of the complaints to the company. Karat credits this intervention, rather than any “sudden awakening to the feelings that women have when they see those ads,” with triggering the company’s about-face. “We’re not for heavy-duty censorship,” she said, but “when the companies don’t respond we have no alternative.”

Fairness as an Asset

If there is evidence that public opinion has changed, it is not to be found in the Indian matrimonial ads, with their “grooms” and “brides wanted” sections that families use to arrange suitable alliances. These ads, hundreds of which appear in India’s daily newspapers, reflect the country’s remarkable diversity in their attempts to solicit individuals with the appropriate religion, caste, regional ancestry, professional and educational qualifications, and frequently, skin color.

Even in the growing numbers of ads that announce “caste no bar,” the adjective “fair” still regularly precedes professional qualifications. A typical example shows that having a medical or graduate business degree is only part of the package: “Wanted really b’ful fair medico for h’some smart Doctor.”

“Fair skin is considered an asset in India,” said Rachna Gupta, a 38-year-old part-time interior designer. That’s why, once a month, she goes to a busy south Delhi salon to have Jolen Creme Bleach (“lightens excess dark hair” the box says) slathered over her face as a fairness treatment. “It’s not good for the skin,” Gupta said, “but I still get it done because I am on the darker side and it makes me feel nice. Aesthetically, it looks nice.”

However, the number of Indians who share Gupta’s opinion that lighter skin is more beautiful may be shrinking. Sumit Isralni, a 22-year-old hair designer in his father’s salon, thinks things have changed in the last two years, at least in India’s most cosmopolitan cities, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. Women now “prefer their own complexion, their natural way,” he said.

Isralni says he prefers a more “Indian beauty” himself. “I won’t find my wife to be fair, I won’t judge her on that,” he said.

Sunita Gupta, a beautician in the salon where Rachna Gupta gets her treatments, is more critical. “It’s just foolishness!” she exclaimed. The premise of the ads that women could not become airline attendants if they are dark-skinned was wrong, she said. “Nowadays people like black beauty.”

She goes on to cite dusky Indian female film actors Kajol Devgan and Rani Mukherjee as examples of her conviction, “If you are dark, then dark is the best.”

Health Concerns Over Lightening Grow

The awareness that whitening products can damage the skin is growing. To respond to health concerns, “Fair and Lovely” has come out with an “ayurvedic” formula, a term referring to a well-known system of Indian herbal medicine. And at an upscale salon in Delhi, at a chain also owned by Hindustan Lever, Puja Sharma stresses to potential customers that her lightening facials are all-natural, using milk and fresh fruits like tomato and papaya. However, at four to six times the price of Rachna Gupta’s monthly bleaching, this option finds fewer takers.

Even Gupta, a steadfast bleacher for over 15 years, admits the danger. “Two years back it was quite popular,” she said. “But now I think they’re focusing on less bleaching. It could harm the skin if it’s strong.”

So she checks the concentration of ammonia and continues her routine. “You have a small tingling kind of a feeling,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt too much.”

Battling for Public Opinion

Betting that the fairness craze in India will continue, American and European companies are fighting for their market share. Popular western brands Avon, L’Oreal, Lancome, Yves Saint-Laurent, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, and Revlon, offer whitening products. In addition, cheap knockoffs like “Cure and Lovely” are making the rounds.

Meanwhile, the Delhi-based Center for Advocacy and Research, which monitors media and conducts surveys on public opinion, has accused the industry in general of “unfair trade practices” and “using a social stigma to sell their products.”

On March 11, Hindustan Lever, shortly after pulling its ads off the air, launched its “Fair and Lovely Foundation,” vowing to “encourage economic empowerment of women across India” by providing resources in education and business. Sangeeta Pendurkar, the company’s skincare marketing manager, announced that the company believed millions of women “who, though immensely talented and capable, need a guiding hand to help them take the leap forward.” Presumably into a fairer future.

Choosing the right hairstyle for you.

What hairstyle is better for my face?

Tired of trying out different hairstyles and coming up with ghastly results? Many of us don’t realize that only a particular kind of style will go well with our facial structure. There are some kind of hairstyles for every kind of face.

 
The right way, say stylists, is to find what works with the structure of the face and looks flattering. A flattering hairstyle can be the most important single factor in your appearance. Not only does it tell about your character, it balances your body, frames your face and complements your clothes and lifestyle. A really professional haircut is a valuable investment, because it will make you feel good as well as look good.

When choosing a new hairstyle you should look carefully at the shape of your face.

What kind of face do you have?
Oval Face
If you have an oval face, you are lucky, as any style will suit you. A long face is best complemented by short hair that is quite full, with a fringe. Don’t go for a severe long hairdo that will only make your face look longer.

Round Face
If you have a round face, you should aim to add length. If you don’t want long hair, part your hair on the side or add fullness on top. Avoid a neat bob with a fringe. A round face gives an overall appearance of roundness. A full face is flattered by a short, layered cut. The top of the head should be given a ‘long’ look with a layered, curly style, extending to the back. If making a topknot, get a lot of elongated tendrils out. That balances your face. A lot of volume to the hair will give it a flat look. A severe, tied back style also makes the face look rounder. Avoid it.

Square Face
A wide forehead and square jawbone means you have a square face. A style with the hair 2.5 cm, or so below the chin sits pretty on a square face. If your hair is thick or wavy, you can go all one length. With straight or fine hair, you can opt for a slight angle in the front. Don’t go in for bobs. Blunt-clipped bangs are also not recommended because they would emphasize the squareness of your face. All a square face needs is a little softening if the jawline is too heavy. Draw the attention away from the jaw with a diagonal fringe forward from the hairline and around the ears if you wear your hair up, or long loose hair with a bit of bounce below chin level.

Heart Shape
A Heart shaped face is also easy to flatter. All you need to do is avoid a heavy slab of fringe that will make your face into a triangle. A softer fringe will help. Try a soft fringe too for a high forehead, or try a very heavy fringe that stars quite a way back ans is ‘V’ – shaped, with the point of the ‘V’ in the centre of your forehead. If you have a receding or double chin, you need to draw attention away from it. Your hair will look best either piled to the top and back of your head, to balance the chin, or hanging loose to hide it. A large nose needs a short, fluffy style-anything sleek or straight will only over-emphasize it.

Oblong Face
A long, thin face with a narrow chin is oblong. A short, perky bob will go very nicely with your kind of looks. It should be short at the back and the angled chin length, in the front. Wearing it with a side parting, with bangs brushed to the side, rounds out an oblong face. A longer bob, about five-cm, below the chin, will also look good on this kind of face. Layered hair will not suit you at all. Long hair, too, makes the face seems lengthier.

Choosing the right hair cut is part technique and part art. The first step in finding the right hair style always comes down to determining facial structure.

Each face has its own unique structure. The shape of your face and head has a major role to play in the type of hair style you can wear best.

Knowing the shape of your face before you head to the salon will help you choose the right hair style and will help you to communicate better with your stylist.

SBK (or “sub-Bowman’s keratomileusis”) is similar to LASIK, and generally is a procedure that largely reduces the problem of dry eyes (in addition to other problems).

Limitations of LASIK
Despite his high popularity and the success rate, LASIK has one constant: the persistent dry eye in some patients. In addition, in rare cases, after an operation LASIK, you can develop a serious complication called corneal ectasia, is a protrusion of the cornea forward, which in future would require a corneal transplant as a treatment.

Limitations of PRK
With PRK there is less risk of dry eye and ectasia. However, there are two factors that have always limited the popularity of PRK: discomfort after PRK surgery and recovery time (it may take a week or two before retrieving a vision acceptable to drive).

THE SBK
Some ophthalmologists and refractive surgeons (Stephen Slade, MD and Daniel Durri) have been the pioneers of a new refractive surgery procedure that is best features of LASIK and PRK. The new procedure, known as “outsourcing Bowman’s keratomileusis” or “SBK,” uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap of the thinnest of what is obtained from a normal operation LASIK. SBK flaps are approximately 110 microns thick, whereas LASIK flaps are usually 120 to 160 microns thick.

The term “sub-Bowman’s” is used to describe the procedure itself, because the depth of the flap includes the bulk of the membrane of Bowman.

The queratotomía rectify Photoreagent is used to the mild to moderate myopia, while the Lasik is used for large myopias. In the Spanish trial have been reviewed 196 eyes with high myopia of 118 patients who had to correct at least ten diopters to achieve a vision of 20/20. Faults in the correction of visual acuity were 77 per cent of the best corrected vision before surgery.
This vision improved in a line. Only 5 percent of the eyes lost two lines in the best corrected vision before surgery and 40 percent avoided the use of glasses. 61 per cent of the cases, 119 eyes were between ± 2 diopters to ten years. Only two eyes, 1 per cent, developed corneal ectasia. The retreatment rate was 27 percent.

Data predictable
We evaluated the follow-up to ten years after surgery. According to Jorge Alió, a professor at the University Miguel Hernandez, Alicante, the results are encouraging, as the refractive correction implies a ceiling for applying this technique.

“The study has enabled us to demonstrate that, despite the limitations of the technique Lasik, the results were predictable on the efficacy and safety for patients with large myopias long term.”
The limit optimal prediction technique is about ten diopters of myopia. This study can become a reference, “because it has enabled us to meet the safety, precision and limits on the use of Lasik eye with large myopias.” The data were reported at the last meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, where he received the prize for best presentation.

The LASIK technique was made possible by the Colombia-based Spanish ophthalmologist Jose Barraquer, who, around 1950 in his clinic in Bogota, Colombia, developed the first microkeratome, used to cut thin flaps in the cornea and alter its shape, in a procedure called keratomileusis. Stephan Schaller assisted. Barraquer also provided the knowledge about how much of the cornea had to be left unaltered to provide stable long-term results. Since that time to our days, you can imagine how lasik eye surgery technique has been improved, getting awesome safe and accurate results.

Maybe Lasik is a bit expensive, but it is really worth. That´s why if you are thinking on doing in New York City (where some of the best LASIK eye surgeons are ), you should, first of all, make sure about who is surgeon you should call. In this site, for example, you can compare details, credentials, prices, experience, … There is a list with the (it´s supposed) best New York City LASIK Surgeons.
