10 NEUROADAPTATION AND FINE TUNING

We live in an age where we demand instant results such as, instant
coffee, instant messaging, and so on. Sometimes instant is not always
memorable. Has any instant message had a major effect on you
compared to a well written book? Pi in eye is like old wine and
whiskey: as time passes, vision gets better.
Two factors account for this: fine tunings and neuroadaptation.
Crucial to both is a fundamental understanding of the way presbyopic
implants work, and the factors which influence the optimum result.

Dry Eye

It is the most common pre-existing eye condition. That is why
Lasik is not a good choice, as it induces more dryness. Prelex,
however does not induce dryness. The cornea needs to be kept
polished by the tear film for optimum vision; like a mirror the more
polished it is the better we can see.
This can be achieved by a dry eye treatment regimen including
preservative free artificial tears, lid scrubs, warm compresses, room
humidifiers, and if required, medicated cyclosporine drops. We will
discuss this in depth in the next chapter.
