No Specs Surgery, the Revolutionary Twist on Laser-Eye Surgery, in Healthcare Global

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) First there were glasses and contact lenses. Then, there was laser eye surgery; an innovative treatment for correcting short and long sightedness. But none of these compare to a revolutionary new treatment called 'No Specs' eye surgery. An all-in-one operation for poor sightedness, age-related spectacle dependency and cataracts; it enables you to ditch glasses and contact lenses forever.

We've spoken to Brendan Moriarty, a leading eye surgeon who carries out the No Specs Operation to find out exactly what it is.

A 20-30 minute operation, No Specs corrects the three main causes for wearing glasses;
ametropia (long or short sightedness), astigmatism (an abnormal curve at the front of the eye) and presbyopis (an age-related condition in which the lens of the eye is unable to see near objects).

Moriarty explains: "It involves removing the normal lens of the eye as in a cataract operation and placing a multi-focal intraocular lens in the eye."

"This corrects distance, intermediate and near vision, and any significant astigmatism is corrected at the end of the operation by making small incisions."

Moriarty describes No Specs as a "quick, pain free and predictable treatment which covers all forms of refractive problems" and he believes it's better than other surgery options: "Laser eye surgery involves cutting the cornea, which can give rise to dry eye syndrome. There can often be problems with glare post-operatively too, and re-treatment may be required."
