Kevin Niksarli, M.D. at Newsight Laser Center, New York, N.Y. states that baby boomers who want to eliminate or decrease their dependence on spectacles or contact lenses may consider laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery as a viable option. Although traditional LASIK has been considered less effective in individuals over 40 years of age, due to reading glasses, recent studies point to new techniques offering better outcomes for older patients. - June 20, 2009

Kevin Niksarli, M.D. of Newsight Laser Center, New York, N.Y. states that glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, affecting over 3 million Americans. As many as half of them do not even know they have the disease. That is because glaucoma – often called “the sneak thief of sight” – attacks silently, with no noticeable symptoms or warning signs until it has become well established, adds Dr. Niksarli. - June 18, 2009
