Before undergoing Lasik surgery,what precautions should be taken

People are increasingly becoming conscious of their appearance and in that they find spectacles as an irritant.Spectacles were removed by lenses but lenses have their own issues as they require a good care and several precautions.Replacing this lasik or laser surgery.It is indeed effective and safe but not every one in any age can undertake it.The surgeon has to evaluate whether the lasik will be useful or advisable for a particular patients or not.There are certain dont's like patient should have a stable eye sight for a period of one year before surgery.Secondly patient should be in the age group of 18-50 .In young patients eye sight is not stable and so is in the patients above 50.
So one should not blindly go for Lasik surgery.

Dengue fever can cause Opthalmic complications too

Towards end of August or beginning of September,there is huge spike in Dengue cases.What has come to light recently is that Dengue fever leads to blurry vision.In some cases it is found to have been cause for Uveitis.In case a Dengue patient experiences blurry vision,they should not delay seeing an eye specialist.
Researchers have come to conclusion that those who suffer from acute Dengue infection run the risk of eye complications.Out of these Uveitis is one major eye disease which people having dengue fever have been found to be suffering from. The reason for eye problems has not been established so far,and further research is on.However it is felt that Dengue attacks the immune system which leads to this complication.
It is felt leakage in blood vessels might be the reason that immune system gets affected.
However there is no final word yet on it ,all one can say at this stage is that Dengue fever can cause eye complications and one should be aware of it.
