  • Do blue light glasses help headaches?

    Blue light glasses are unlikely to help headaches. Blue light is created by digital devices like our modern phones and computer screens. The problem with blue light is that it stimulates our brain into thinking that it is light outside and that we should be awake. So, blue light glasses are more a useful tool to help you get a good night's sleep, rather than decrease headaches. Most modern phones do have the ability to block blue light at night. I personally set my phone to block blue light from 8PM onward. Hope this helps. READ MORE

  • What happens if you blink during laser eye surgery?

    You don't need to worry about blinking during LASIK eye surgery. We have an eyelid opening device referred to as a "speculum." Our eyes are not able to overcome the speculum as they are typically made from surgical grades stainless steel. Hope this helps! READ MORE

  • How long is the recovery from laser eye surgery?

    This is a great question and will vary based on what form of Laser eye surgery is being performed. If it’s LASIK the vision is usually very clear the very next day. With PRK the vision will be “drivable” (about 20/40 or better) within a week and usually progresses to its final endpoint over the course of the first month. Lastly if this is Laser assisted cataract surgery then his vision typically recovers in the first 24-48 hours. LASIK in my experience can cause temporary dryness that resolves usually 4-6 months. Some patients with higher corrections will have haloes at night and in my experience those resolve in the first month. PRK is similar for haloes but I find it to typically not induce as much dryness and actually rarely see dry eye complaints from it. Lastly cataract surgery is intraocular surgery and can carry higher risks of things such as infection (very rare <1:1000) and inflammation. You can also see transient dry eye with cataract surgery but it typically resolves quicker than lasik as the incisions are much smaller (on the order of 1-2 months). Hope this helps! READ MORE
