One of the LASIK Specialists in the country, Braverman Eye Center, now offers Collagen Cross Linking Surgery for treating corneal ectasia and keratoconus. A surgical treatment, collagen cross-linking, is a technique that is aimed to halt progressive and irregular changes in corneal shape. This technique utilizes UV light and a photosensitizer for strengthening chemical bonds in the cornea, ultimately arresting the progression of corneal ectasia and keratoconus. The collagen cross linking is one of the newest treatments for keratoconus that limits any further deterioration of vision. It has just recently been approved by the FDA. Through this treatment, their team of experienced and knowledgeable eye surgeons are able to prevent the cornea from bulging out and becoming steeper and irregular. The earlier a patient receives this treatment after being diagnosed with corneal ectasia and keratoconus, the better.

Just two or three months ago, children couldn't wait to get out of school. The freedom of summer was just around the bend, as they eagerly looked forward to the break. However, once they've had their fill of summer, these same children begin to anticipate school: They are entering a new grade, or perhaps a new school. For some children, buying school supplies and perhaps even new school outfits can be exciting and escalate their desire to return and learn new studies.

School has started back up, which means a lot of children and families are already thinking about fall sports. Especially in varsity sports, many of the teams have already had their tryouts, and have probably been conditioning all summer in preparation for the intense competitions ahead. This is exciting for many students, but there are also many who will avoid sports entirely. Why is this? Obvious differences in personality aside, many students feel as though they are too clumsy to "make the cut." There are many potential causes for this, and vision disorders are among them. Two vision disorders which affect visual tracking, an important skill in many sports, are amblyopia and strabismus.
