We do not realize the importance of our five senses till the time they are in perfect working order. However, if we wake up one fine morning and find that we are seeing a little less clearly or perhaps are having some difficulty in hearing, then we are concerned. Our eyesight is one of the most precious powers with which we are blessed and we must ensure that it is properly preserved throughout our lifetime. However, common problems like short sightedness or far sightedness can cause hindrances in our day-to-day existence. It is in our best interest to pay immediate attention to even minor vision problems to prevent it from accelerating to something serious. Even for those who suffer from severe vision problems, there is still hope in the form of a lasik eye surgery. The simple operation can rectify your vision without you having to resort to spectacles or contact lenses.
The high success rate of this simple operation acts as a further incentive for more and more people to opt for a lasik eye surgery. The procedure is comparatively of a shorter duration than most operations and also the postoperative care required is almost nil. The effects of the operation also have long lasting results and this is another advantage of a lasik eye surgery. The primary criterion when you opt for this kind of a surgery is the competent expertise of the surgeon. You need to be completely sure about the skills of the eye surgeon before you hand over such an important task to him. A thorough background research enables you to be better prepared for entire operation process.
Often the internet or the yellow pages are the best way to find out the best eye surgeon who can perform a successful lasik eye surgery for you. Find out about the costs involved for the surgery and even postoperative measures if required as this will ensure that you are not placed in a financial crunch when the need arises. A research about the previous track record of the surgeon and feedback from his patients can play a crucial role in selecting the right doctor to treat your precious eyes and rectify your problematic vision. As the lasik eye surgery is a high skill procedure involving the complete reshaping of the cornea for vision rectification, it is therefore important to have a doctor with much experience.
A patient who has undergone a lasik eye surgery can easily get to back to his normal life the very next day of the operation. However, it is best to take the constant guidance of your doctor to ensure the best care for your eyes. Once you have undergone the surgery, the clarity of your vision will enable you to see the world with different eyes. It is indeed a pleasure to have perfect vision without the encumbrance of spectacles or lenses and herein lies the success and popularity of a lasik eye surgery in our modern times.

View the World With New Eyes After a Lasik Eye Surgery
The Latest in Facelift Surgery - a Younger Face in 1 Hour
Many women would like to have a cosmetic facelift surgery but many are worried that they would not be happy with the results. There is no turning back after the surgery. Many also say that such a cosmetic surgery would be too expensive for them.
For these two reasons non-surgery facelifts are booming. A 40% rise in 2007 is expected in facelifts without a surgery. In fact, many surgeons will tell women who consider a facelift surgery actually do not need one. Injectables and fillers are another option and can bring some great results quickly.
However, not everything can be treated with injections. The biggest problem is sagging skin when you get older. A surgery might be the only option to treat this problem. And achieving the biggest dream of most women, which is looking younger for at least 10 years, you will need more than just a few injections.
The latest trend is a new technique which is not a traditional facelift surgery but still offers longer lasting success than simple injections. It's called CounterLift. A CounterLift just takes about 1 hour and the recovery time is much shorter compared to a traditional facelift. There is also good news on the financial side of this new procedure. A CounterLift just costs about the half.
So how does this less-invasive new facelift surgery actually work? The CounterLift fills a missing gap in facelift surgery. Women in the age between 35 and 45 are usually not ready for a full facelift. For them the CounterLift is a perfect solution. Injections are helpful to fight wrinkles but can not do anything against sagging skin. Here the CounterLift will pull sagging skin together, well below the top layers of the skin so that no visible scarring can happen.
This new facelift procedure is much less invasive and gives the plastic surgeon more freedom to re-shape the face as well. It allows him to manipulate certain sections of the face without affecting others.
If you want to look much younger but were always worried about getting a full facelift surgery, you might find this new and cheaper technique appealing. Ask your cosmetic surgeon about this new facelift technique. It is not available everywhere yet but worth a look.
