Earthquake ready

I hate earthquakes!! I live in Los Angeles County, California. Not too long ago we had a 4.5 earthquake, and it completely left me in shock. I unfortunately wear contacts and glasses. Without them I cannot see very clearly at all. At the time of the earthquake the last thing on my mind was to go put on the contacts, because I could not find my glasses. I was way too scared to stay in my room and look for them, so I just ran out with out them. It was very hard to see, but I knew that I just had to deal with it. Even if you are not living in California, emergencies and earthquakes can happen at anytime, whether we are ready or not. Recently my friend got caught in a tornado in Chicago (the windy city) I want to be able to at least see clearly when things like this happen. The only way I can make that happen is by getting LASIK Surgery.

Love the Dolphins

The beach is one of my favorite places in the world. I recently visited Malibu Beach, and had an amazing time. It was the perfect weather and all of my friends were there with me. We had so much fun. At one point one of my friends yelled out “look dolphins!” I love dolphins. Everyone was talking about how pretty and close to shore they were. Unfortunately I could not see them, because I forgot my contacts! I realized that I didn’t put on my contacts when I got in the car, but I figured I would not need them. I thought it was a good thing that I didn’t put them on, because now they would not bother my eyes when I got in the water. So in a way it was good that I didn’t wear them, but at the time I didn’t get to see the dolphins everyone was talking about. If I had LASIK surgery I would be able to swim in the water without my eyes being bothered, and at the same time I would have seen the dolphins.

College Life

I am a student at College of the Canyons in Valencia, Santa Clarita. I take all morning classes, which means I have to wake up early and partying in Santa Monica is restricted. I wear contacts in order to see clearly and at a distance, but in the mornings I am in such a hurry that sometimes I forget to put them in, and don’t remember to bring my glasses. When I get to school and realize that I can’t see the board and don’t have my glasses, I just leave class at times. I figure that it is pointless for me to be there, because I can’t see the lecture the teacher is writing on the board. I hate stressing my eyes just to see what is being written. This really makes me want to get surgery on my eyes. I think LASIK surgery would really make my life a lot easier.
I had to choose a surgeon- so I chose the best LASIK center in Valencia- Khanna Institute of LASIK.

Tired of Contacts?

Wearing contacts is such a hassle!! Having to put them on every morning and taking them off at night can become one of the most irritating things to do. I am a very busy person, and sometimes I can easily forget to put in my contacts. There have been times when I have to drive back home to put on my contacts. There have also been times when I just do not want to put them in, because it is so early in the morning the contacts burn my eyes. I have actually needed to take the contacts out due to the burning in my eyes. Taking out the contacts is also really annoying. When I get home late at the night, the last thing I want to do is take them out. If I sleep with them in my vision the next day is really blurry. At times I just want to watch t.v. at night, yet my contacts are out so I can’t see. Wearing contacts really bothers me in many different ways, so now I am looking forward to have LASIK Surgery, at the Khanna Institute of LASIK. I get to choose to have the surgery at either the Valencia or Westlake Village office. Plus whats great if I get transferred to Fullerton, they even have offices in Costa Mesa and Corona. Khanna LASIK, here I come.

Plug in America

Tom visited an event in Malibu. Here is what he has to say.

The event was produced by an organization that is real popular with
the entertainment industry (An environmental group called "Plug in
America") The lady in charge - had her vehicle customized
(a Toyota Prius that gets over a 100 mpg and her house is "grreen &
has solar energy & and even provides extra electricity back to the city!!!
On the Malibu pier a movie was screened. The movie had Mel Gibson (who bought my
friend's house in Serra Retreat) He talked about the importance of
being "green" etc.

Doe a Dear

just got back from the Malibu Pier event. (On the way back, on Agoura
Rd. a car hit a deer. The car kept going, so I had to pull over, and
the poor deer was still alive. I called the SPPA and they finally got
there, but by theat time the deer staggered off into the hills.

Kudos to Tom

The Khanna Institute of LASIK is proud that the caring spirit fostered in our LASIK center is carried beyong the 4 walls into the communities of Malibu, Agoura Hills , calabasas and beyond

New vision processing research is reported

Khana Institute of LASIK in Los Angeles is haapy to bring you this news

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. research is expanding the theory that vision is processed in the brain along circuits made up of neurons.

Scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered visual information is also processed in a manner similar to propagating waves oscillating among brain areas.

"What we found is that signals pass through brain areas like progressive waves, back and forth, a little bit like what fans do at baseball games," said Associate Professor Jian-young Wu, the study's corresponding author.

Just as a "stadium wave" travels through the crowd, a collective pattern emerges from the activities of millions of neurons in the visual areas, he said, adding, "It simply makes sense that brain function is the result of large numbers of neurons working together."

The finding challenges longstanding theories about how the brain processes sensory information, Wu said.

"One traditional model theorizes that neurons are hooked together into specific circuits," he noted. "However, new imaging methods tell us that there are more than just circuits."

The research that included Weifeng Xu, Xiaoying Huang and Kentaroh Takagaki was reported in the July 5 issue of the journal Neuron.

This can explain why traditional methods of vision measurement are not enough. And why people with similiar vision still see differently.

That is why our centers located near Encino, Ventura, Bakersfield and a short drive from Beverly Hills offer the latest equipment and wavefront driven Lasers for LASIK

Beckham, Hamm and me

Being an Athlete is not an easy job, when having to worry about wearing glasses or contacts. It is almost impossible to play at one’s best ability, when their vision is not perfect. I personally play soccer, and have to wear contacts. Although, wearing contacts increases my vision it also has an effect on it. Soccer is a very physical sport and it includes a lot of running. During my games sometimes my vision gets blurry or my eyes become very dry.The Santa Ana winds blowing in Los Angeles are no help. It becomes very hard for me to focus on the sport, when my eyes are bothered by my contacts. How will I be able to bend it like Beckham? There are times when my contacts move out of place, and I just can’t continue playing the game until I fix the contacts. I would love to play soccer without having to worry about my eyes being bothered - and become the next Mia Hamm:) For this reason, I am highly considering getting lasik surgery done!

A letter from a patient living in Santa Clarita. As you know the Khanna Institute of LASIK is near magic mountain six flags a short drive north from Encino.
