- How to Read a Study Record
With evolving endovascular technologies there is a growing debate centered on the relative safety and efficacy of the currently accepted alternatives for the treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms in the face of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling of acutely ruptured cerebral aneurysms in a prospective, randomized fashion.
Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)
Procedure: coil embolization
Procedure: clip occlusion
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Barrow Ruptured Aneurysm Study
- Modified Rankin Scale [ Time Frame: 6 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Primary Outcome Measure is Modified Rankin Scale < or = to 2. Data will be analyzed on intent to treat basis with crossover to the alternative treatment analyzed as a data subset. The null hypothesis is that no difference in outcome will be detected between the endovascular and surgical treatment arms. A statistically significant difference will then be considered evidence in favor of the alternative hypothesis, that one treatment is superior to the other.
|Study Start Date:
|November 2002
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 2017
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|January 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Endovascular
Subjects randomized to endovascular coil embolization will be treated by one of two neurosurgeons expert in such treatment. All endovascular coil embolization treatments will be accomplished using accepted techniques.
Procedure: coil embolization
Subjects randomized to endovascular therapy will be treated by one of two neurosurgeons expert in such treatment. All endovascular treatments will be accomplished using accepted techniques.
Active Comparator: Surgical
Subjects randomized to surgical clip occlusion repair will receive treatment from one of two neurosurgeons expert in clip occlusion surgery for ruptured aneurysms.
Procedure: clip occlusion
Subjects randomized to surgical therapy will receive treatment from one of two neurosurgeons expert in surgery for ruptured aneurysms.
Detailed Description:
The planned trial enrolled 250 subjects per arm. Subjects are followed postoperatively and outcome endpoints will be assessed at Discharge, 6 Months, 1 Year, 3 Years, and 6 Years. One hundred (100) subjects will participate in neuropsychological testing at 1 Year; after the 100th subject an interim data analysis will be performed and the viability of future neuropsychological testing will be determined. Subjects will receive preoperative, intraoperative or postoperative, 3 Year follow up, and 6 Year follow up angiograms. In this fashion immediate clinical outcome, including peri-procedural morbidity and mortality, will be assessed as will long term outcome, both clinical and angiographic.

Beloit, WI -- Senior defensive end Brian Flanagan (Midlothian, Ill./Oak Forest) and freshman running back Mason Dixon (Walworth, Wis./Big Foot) have earned the Midwest Conference's Defensive and Offensive Player of the Week honors, respectively, for the week ending September 22. The Conference Office announced the honors on Monday afternoon.
Flanagan had a team-high 11 tackles, eight solo, and 4.5 sacks in the Bucs' 38-21 win over Lawrence University in the Homecoming Game last Saturday. The 4.5 sacks are the second-most in Beloit history, trailing only two players - Darren Walters vs. Knox in 1998 and John Kaminski vs. Grinnell in 1985 - who both had five.
Dixon rushed the ball 12 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns. The 200-yard effort, his second straight 100-yard plus game, marked just the 14th time a Beloit player has rushed for 200-plus yards in a game.
The Buccaneer are back in action next Saturday at Grinnell College, the first of two straight road games.

LOUISVILLE A United States Customs and Border Protection agent was thrown in jail Monday after an alleged alcohol-fueled domestic dispute with his live-in girlfriend Sunday.
Gerald B. Ware II, 41, 1535 County Route 36, Louisville was arrested by Massena-based state police and charged with second-degree assault – with intent to cause serious physical injury, a felony, fourth-degree criminal mischief: disable equipment to prevent request for emergency assistance, criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, third-degree assault – with intent to cause physical injury, all misdemeanors, and second-degree harassment – physical contact, a violation.
According to Betsy A. Farnsworth, Wares girlfriend, the couple had argued over picking up his children and her child. She said became upset when she told him she wasnt going to pick up his children.
Gerald did not want to go because he had worked all night until 12. I did not want to go because I wasnt feeling well, and I dont like dealing with his ex-wife. We also had to pick up my daughter, and I do not like to deal with my ex-husband so I insisted that he come with me, Ms. Farnsworth said in the statement she signed for police.
She said Ware was irritated and started drinking when they returned home..
Gerald began to start drinking vodka and lemonade, Ms. Farnsworth told police. I get upset when Gerald drinks because when he gets drunk he starts to yell a lot at me. He also likes to drive when he is drunk.
She said it was at about 10 p.m. Sunday that the argument escalated to physical violence. She said she was upset Ware was drinking when he had to work the midnight shift and had only slept for about two hours that day.
Ware allegedly punched Ms. Farnsworth in the face, causing bruising on her nose and eye, and wrapped his hands around her neck and then blocked her nose by pinching her nostrils closed, preventing her from breathing.
Troopers also alleged Ware prevented Ms. Farnsworth from using a phone to call police during the altercation at their by taking her cell phone after she said she was going to call the police for assistance and threw it across their bedroom
Police additionally reported that Ware slapped, pushed and slammed Ms. Farnsworths head off of a dresser while making threats to kill her.
This hasnt been the first time he has attacked me, Ms. Farnsworth told police. Back in March, Gerald shattered my middle finger on my right hand.
Ms. Farnsworth went to the hospital for that injury and she said she never reported it to police and made up a story for the hospital staff to hide what really happened.
The March hospital visit resulted in the setting of four pins and permanent damage and limited mobility to Ms. Farnsworths finger, police reported.
Mr. Ware was remanded to St. Lawrence County Jail on $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond and has been released by Monday evening.
Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow issued an order of protection directing Ware to stay away from Ms. Farnsworth and her daughter.
He also directed troopers to pick up any weapons in Wares possession,

This is a story which I submitted in your hunt for the truth. I hope the internet publisher will accept it.
FSM: New discovery with serious implications.
In classic literature the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) has always been referred to as a Benevolent Deity. The gospels of His wrath mostly were considered as to be mere metaphors or folklore, even though His direct influence can be proven with the of use of advanced mathematical and statistical analysis. My new discovery now clearly shows evidence that the disbelief of the human race is also causing Him to start directly punishing non-believers. Before getting into detail about my discovery I will first honor our beloved FSM with a brief statement of how He has enriched my life and guided me to my discovery.
After accepting our beloved FSM as the one true deity, I have spent months roaming the planet and enjoying the splendor of His creation. Also I am a huge diving fan. Never while diving have I enjoyed the great Kelp beds more than after my newfound relationship with our beloved FSM. Where once I was blind now I can see! Diving for shipwrecks now no longer is a mere hunt for treasure, it now is a Holy Pilgrimage to the land of the Pirate Elders. I dare no longer disturb one object. All should be preserved as is. We must not invoke the Divine Wrath.
My journey has also been as test of faith. Everywhere I went and told people about our beloved FSM people laughed at me. Followers of the primitive religions also ridiculed me for wearing pirate clothing. In my heart I felt that our beloved FSM could never allow this to go unpunished. After a long and thorough investigation of signs supporting my suspicion I found out He does severely punish the non believers. It was so obvious that it has just been overlooked for a long time.
The punishment is a great example of His infinite wisdom. Persistent non believers are shown to become progressively unable to enjoy His Divine Substance (HDS). If they are persistent and do try to eat HDS they will get horrible cramps and serious complications, sometimes even resulting in death. This phenomenon has long been known to modern medicine but no relation had yet been established with our beloved FSM. It is called Celiac disease.
In a large group of affected families (n=40) we found serious linkage with non-belief and Celiac Disease. 90% of affected individuals proved to be non-believers. The remaining 10% at first seemed to disprove my theory and linkage but when we suspected blasphemy to be a involved as a major player we could quickly account for 100% of the affected cases. For these findings we used a standard optimized test in compliance with DSMIV guidelines.
The implications of these discoveries are numerous. We are getting clear evidence why we should immediately start teaching our kids in schools that not believing in our deity can cause death and inevitably leads to a horrible life deprived of HDS. Also all blasphemy against our beloved FSM should be banned and severely punished to show our commitment to our Divine Creator. Currently work is being done on the relationship between wearing Pirate Clothing and Celiac Disease and we are in the first stage of assessing if using standard SRI-treatment (Serious Religious Indoctrination) and Pirate Paraphernalia can be useful as a remedy.
With this research I want to contribute to the greatness and understanding of our beloved FSM.
Arend-Jan Smit, Utrecht, the Netherlands
*note HDS (his Divine Substance) is spaghetti. Celiac disease is a disease that destroys your intestine after eating Glutes. Grain contains it. Spaghetti is made of it. That settles it.

|Ashe Letter Could Derail Boone Water
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 05 October 2012 05:39
Could a road stop new water from coming to Boone? A road crossing into Ashe County as part of the water intake project on the New River is now at issue, with the Ashe County Commission now taking official action against the project. The problem is access to the pump site on the New River,
bought by the Town of Boone from the Cooper family, including a subdivision-grade 3,000-foot-long road, a portion of that road crossing into Ashe County. With that county line crossing, which would include a portion of the path of the pipe from the river, the Ashe County Board of Commissioners sent a letter "opposed to any section of the access road crossing Ashe County land," that in response to Steve Garrett of the N.C. Department of Public Safety requesting Ashe County to sign off on federal floodplain documents for the project. The Sept. 24 letter is signed by Ashe County Manager Pat Mitchell. Whether the project can be accomplished without crossing into Ashe remains to be seen.

PHILADELPHIA Officials at Indian River Central School District have a lot to work on in the next three months.
Business Manager James R. Koch said the district hopes to have a capital project referendum by December at the latest on a project that spans nearly all of its schools.
However, the project cost and how much state aid it will receive still have to be determined.
We want to have it before the end of the year, Mr. Koch said. We have a very tentative timeline. Right now, we have more questions than answers.
Although the timeline for the district is tight, he said he hopes he does not have to explain the project to the public after the new year.
I dont want to go any later than December because you start getting into budget season, he said. You dont want people to feel overwhelmed.
The board and the district are considering the following improvements, but Mr. Koch stressed that none has been approved officially:
n Increase space in the high school band room to accommodate 125 students.
n Move the rest of the high school and all of the middle school to geothermal energy.
n Add a 0.8-megawatt solar array near Indian River Intermediate School.
n Add a multipurpose room to the intermediate school.
n Add a synthetic turf field possibly to the football field that both the middle school and high school can use.
n Add eight classrooms, expand the cafeteria by 130 seats and increase parking spaces at Evans Mills Primary School.
n Improve security at multiple schools.
n Upgrade or improve any Building Condition Survey items that are necessary.
The district Buildings and Grounds Committee plans to meet Sept. 26 to possibly finalize the project cost. The district also needs to make an appointment with the state Education Department to find out how much state aid can be offered for the project.
Mr. Koch was hesitant to say what he estimates the cost to be.
Thats what were trying to refine what this is going to cost, Mr. Koch said. Im reluctant to put a price on it at this point.
The district still owes $29.3 million for the last capital project, which culminated in 2010. A total of $50.6 million is owed from projects dating as far back as 1997. A couple of the bonds were refinanced in 2011.
Since 1985, we have put up to $184 million in infrastructure on the ground, Mr. Koch said previously. And its all because of the growth from Fort Drum.
Housing is what drives this potential capital project. Mr. Koch said he expects a development near Taylor Road to be ready in April and Eagle Ridges fifth phase to be done in April. Fort Drums Site Four is ready for occupants to move in. A new development wedged between the Eagle Ridge and Taylor Road developments may be considered, as well, creating an additional boom of students at Calcium Primary School.
Housing is the driving force in what we do, because people will come to the housing, he said.

Video: Immigranst dying in Texas part 2
(KVEO) Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants cross through Brooks County, Texas every year. The truth, only about a tenth of them are ever caught.
These undocumented men, women and even children are muled across the rugged, brush lands every single day.
"We don't know why. Brooks county for some reason is a funneling point, where everybody seems to be coming through," said Inv. Daniel Davila, Brooks County Sheriff's Department.
The goal of these immigrants is to get through the county unseen and undetected by U.S.. Border Patrol, County Constables, Brooks County Sheriff's deputies, and Falfurrias police. But in the past year, the most tragic issue comes from those who don't make it through.
"This year alone, this past year in 2012, 129 deaths, bodies that were recovered in the brush," said Davila.

Whether you're decking the halls or decorating a wreath, you can add a sophisticated style to your Christmas decorations with the Trim the Tree cartridge. This cartridge includes a variety of ornament-inspired cuts with a filigree texture you'll love.
Use with all Cricut® machines
Includes 25 themed images
Click here to read product details
While the cartridge presents itself with beautiful images, it was very disappointing to use. The images are much too intricate and must be cut in extremely large sizes (over 6") if you want to prevent your paper from tearing, making this a very limited use cartridge. In my own opinion, this cartridge is a huge waste of money and you'd do well to steer clear of it.

WADDINGTON – The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators can count on the town of Waddingtons support as it pursues the authorization of home rule legislation to raise its sales tax.
Legislators requested a special meeting with Waddington Town Council Tuesday, fearing that, without the towns support, the countys plan to raise its sales tax from 3 to 4 percent would become a dead issue, Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, said.
You alone in Waddington can effectively stop this, Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said. You have an enormous amount of power right here.
According to Mr. Morrill, Waddington is also a key factor in securing state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchies support for the sales tax increase.
Ill tell you what I think from having the meeting with Patty, Mr. Morrill said. If you, the collective you, say this isnt fair or we dont want it. We wont get it.
Mrs. Ritchie was not available to confirm Mr. Morrills comments late Tuesday.
Concern arose when the Town Council initially opted not to vote on the plan in February. But after discussing their concerns with the legislators Tuesday, the council voted 4-1 in favor of the countys 1 percent sales tax increase.
I dont want vote in favor of it, but I will, Councilor David Putney said after he questioned whether the county has fought hard enough to garner more state funding for state mandated programs such as Medicaid.
County legislators said state funding for state mandated programs are beyond their control, and the major cause for a decline in countys fund balance.
A county like St. Lawrence County is more affected by these mandates than richer counties, Legislator Frederick S. Morrill said. Richer counties get more in property values and their incomes are higher, so there are not as many people collecting Medicaid. We are affected on both ends. We have less income, less property value and more Medicaid. We really get hammered.
At the urging of the council members, legislators agreed to work harder to increase the percentage of state funding for state mandated programs in the future.
Town Supervisor Mark Scott, who has been critical of the plan since its introduction, was the only member of the council to vote down the resolution.
I am not opposed to it philosophically, Mr. Scott said. Its that the numbers dont add up. When you look at it long-term, its not a sustainable solution. The only sustainable solution other than raising property taxes is that youre going to have to cut more.
He suggested that each county department cut 6 percent from each departments budget.
Mr. Scott was also critical of countys proposal to redistribute 10 percent of the sales tax revenue back to the towns and villages. He said there were no discussions with town supervisors or mayors over the amount that they would receive.
We cant afford to do a 50/50, Mr. Morrill said. We need to pay these bills. And, unfortunately, if we dont do this, property taxes go up for every single resident in St. Lawrence County for the next five years. I am not in favor of that. I want to see property taxes go down. We decided to share something instead of nothing.
We decided to share something instead of nothing, Board of Legislators Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said.
But after receiving 10 percent of the sales tax revenue, Mr. Morrill said villages and towns can choose to redistribute those funds back to taxpayers or use it to fund municipal projects.
What you choose to do with the money is up to you, Mr. Morrill said.
Pleased with the Waddingtons show of support, Mr. Jonathan S. Putney said he and fellow legislators will mention the towns support when they meet again with representatives in Albany.

The map was built using Adobe Illustrator, MAPublisher and Natural Scene Designer utilizing data available from the Hawaii State GIS program. The terrain was built using Tom Patterson's methods for "value-enhanced" shaded relief. Its primary purpose is as a trail and park reference map for use in GPS enabled iPhones and iPads.
I'm not finished, of course, but I think it's ready for evaluation and input. Things I know I need to look at are: contour label distribution; Insertion of proper Hawaiian diacritical marks ('okina); fill minor geographic features where appropriate; double check styles are uniform; check spelling.
Things I'm curious about are how people find the contour and shading to work. This is a trail map so I decided to use both. Not sure on the relief color or darkness. Contours look great in AI but when converted to PDF they have tendency to show up as more prominent at larger zoom levels. I may need to adjust their line weights accordingly. I will probably add some other notes to particular portions of the map to spell out certain restrictions or hazards.
Below are a few screen shots. This is a link to a compressed PDF: http://www.sonic.net... guide copy.pdf

- The latest reports regarding Jaromir Jagr are that he is
deep into contract negotiations with SKA
St. Petersburg of
the KHL and isn't even considering an NHL return at the moment. Until he signs his name on a contract, the
possibility will remain that Jagr will come back to North
America. However, that was
a long-shot from the get-go, and the chances seem to be dwindling. At his age, Jagr would probably be wise to
keep playing on the bigger international ice surface where the chance of injury
is less. He wants to keep playing
hockey, and that's the best way to prolong his career.
- The Fourth Period reports that the Rangers will soon begin
contract negotiations with alternate captain Ryan Callahan. No big surprise here and hopefully this deal
gets done quickly. Both sides want to
reach an agreement, so there's no reason for this to get messy. It will be interesting to see how much Cally
gets though. That will impact the values
of the Rangers' other restricted free agents and it will help determine how
much money they have to play with this summer.
- It sounds like the Rangers will begin their "preseason" next
fall against Frolunda, Henrik Lundqvist's old team. Henrik's brother, Joel, currently plays for
Frolounda, so obviously this matchup would have plenty of hype, at least for an
exhibition game. The game will likely be
played on September 30th. Lundqvist's
homecoming tour will be a huge deal in Sweden, no doubt.
- There's been no official announcement, but it sounds like
the salary cap will get bumped to somewhere between $60.5 million and $63.5
million for next season. That could have
some interesting implications for the next CBA and for player escrow payments, but
as far as the Rangers are concerned, the cap raise would be welcome news. Fitting Brad Richards under the higher cap ceiling
wouldn't be much of a problem, and the Rangers should also easily be able to
retain their own free agents. They might
even be able to consider a second semi-significant signing.
- So much for those rumors about Jarkko Immonen returning to New York. Jim Schoenfeld tells Bruce Berlet the team
has "no interest."
- Here's today's draft profile of Tyler Biggs >

Read: How Christian Thomas Is Training This Summer
This summer Christian Thomas joined Steve Stamkos, Jeff Skinner and James Neal and others to train with Gary Roberts in Toronto for his high intensity workout camp.
Dan Rosen, at NHL.com, went to the camp and report on the program that Roberts has these players on.
The initial phase stresses general strengthening and corrective exercises designed to fix nagging injuries or imbalances that might have developed during an 82-game NHL season. The second phase is focused on strength and power, and the third phase is structured to provide the speed and endurance necessary to be prepared for training camp.
Roberts said that he works with each player individually to help them get better, "So, I treat everybody differently that way. These guys get specific training for their own weaknesses and that's what the summer should be about. The winter becomes a general program, but the summer should be more specific to the players' needs."
Thomas' father Steve was teammates with Roberts in Toronto.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) — Two new studies show that mutual fund investors paid less, on average, for their funds last year, continuing a long, slow trend.
That news, released in separate studies from the Investment Company Institute and investment researcher Morningstar Inc., should raise three questions for fund investors:
1. What do my funds charge and are they part of the low-cost trend?"
2. Am I paying too much?
3. Could I pay less without damaging my portfolio, asset allocation or emotional security about my strategy and plans?
Is Investment Adviser Oversight Act good for you?
Congress introduced the Investment Adviser Oversight Act of 2012 earlier this week. MarketWatch's Chuck Jaffe joins Markets Hub to discuss what it does and why it's bad for consumers. Photo: Bloomberg.
Before answering those questions, you must first know something about the results of those studies.
According to the ICI's "Trends in the Fees and Expenses of Mutual Funds" study for 2011, the average expense ratio paid by equity fund investors was 0.79%, down from 0.83% in 2010. Over the last two decades, average expense ratios paid by equity-fund shareholders have fallen by 20%. In bond funds, according to the ICI, the average cost was 0.62%, down from 0.64% a year earlier.
Morningstar's annual survey of fund expenses conducted by Russel Kinnel, the firm's director of mutual fund research, produced similar results, except that it lumped fund types together, pegging the average expense ratio paid by shareholders at 0.75% in 2011, down from 0.77% a year earlier.
Kinnel noted that the average investor is paying 0.19% less in expenses than they did less than a decade ago.
Cheap and lowdown
A lot of things contribute to how expense ratios are calculated, not least of which is asset flows. While you might assume that lower expense ratios mean fund firms are cutting costs, that's not really the truth.
The typical investor is paying less because, increasingly, they have sought out cheaper funds.
Said Kinnel: "It's the choices made by investors that have had the greatest impact. Investors have generally invested new money in lower-cost funds within a category. In addition, the growing popularity of bond funds has meant that money is flowing toward the lowest-fee asset class, thus lowering the overall rate. "
That means the question of "What do my funds charge and are they part of the trend?" is as much about self-awareness as fund expenses.
There aren't many reasons to pay up for a fund. Unless it is in a space like alternative investments or emerging markets where research costs are higher and the entire category charges more than normal, investors should remember that extra expenses come directly out of their pocket.

Cataract Removal
Cataract removal is a procedure to remove a cataract. A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens.
The lens of the eye is responsible for focusing images onto the back of the eye. It is normally transparent. With cataracts, the lens begins to cloud over time. This will gradually cause a loss in vision.
Cataract removal is done when the cataract is causing problems with vision. The surgery improves vision.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have cataract surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Inflammation
- Infection
- Damage to the eye
- Decreased vision
- Increased eye pressure
- Detached retina
- Droopy eyelid
- Need for more surgery
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Poor overall health
- Bleeding disorders
- Infection
- History of trauma to the eye
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Complete eye exam
- An A-scan—a test using either sound waves or a laser to determine the strength of the replacement lens
- Administer eye drops
- Administer antibiotic injections
Local anesthesia will be used. It will make the area numb.
Description of the Procedure
There are two main types of cataract removal.
Phacoemulsification Technique:
Most cataract removal surgeries are done using this technique. An ultrasound probe will break the cloudy lens into tiny fragments. A tiny incision will be made into the eye. The fragments will then be vacuumed out through the incision. A lens implant will be inserted to replace the affected lens. Stitches are often not needed. You may notice an improvement in your vision soon after surgery.
Extracapsular Technique:
An incision will be made in the eye. The cataract will be removed in one piece through the incision, along with the anterior capsule of the lens.. The lens implant will be inserted to replace the affected lens. Because the incision will be larger, you will need stitches. The recovery will take longer with this technique.
After either procedure, a patch may be placed over your eye.
How Long Will It Take?
The process takes less than 1 hour.
Will It Hurt?
Most patients report no significant pain during the procedure. You may feel pulling or pressure sensations.
Post-procedure Care
At the Care Center
- You will have an eye examination.
- You will be given eye drops.
At Home
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions , which may include:
- Avoid any strenuous activity until cleared by your doctor. This includes lifting and bending.
- You will wear a patch on your eye after your surgery. Do not remove the patch until instructed by your doctor.
- Ask your doctor about how to wash your face and when it is okay to shower or bathe.
- You may be given an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops to use for several weeks after your surgery. Use these eye drops as prescribed. Store them as advised by your pharmacist or doctor. Most anti-inflammatory drops need to be shaken very well prior to each time you put them in your eyes.
- Do not drive or operate machinery until advised by your doctor.
- Take pain medicines as recommended by your doctor.
- Your doctor may ask you to wear an eye shield at night.
- Make it a habit to wear UV-protecting sunglasses when you are outside.
You should notice improvements in your vision, although at first your vision may actually be worse than prior to the surgery. Every eye heals differently. One eye may heal more quickly or slowly than the other. Since each lens is individually fitted for each patient, you will likely need weaker glasses or contacts. You may not need them at all after this procedure.
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
