PRK, LASEK, Epi-LASIK are the alternatives to the classic LASIK to correct vision defects with the laser. The PRK or Photorefractive Keratectomy is the oldest laser procedure for the correction of vision defects such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. in 1986, a laser was used for the first time in the context of PRK for the removal of the corneal tissue. Local anesthetic eye drops the superficial corneal tissue, which is also called the epithelium, from carefully mechanically from the surgeon. Computer-controlled laser pulses with the excimer laser on the now exposed corneal layer ensure a targeted removal of corresponding corneal tissue, to alter the refractive power of the cornea of the eye. The deeper cell layers of the cornea without prejudice of the PRK.

The treated cornea surface re gene advised himself in a few days by alone. The duration of treatment at drip anesthesia is not more than 5 minutes. The PRK is for the treatment of short-sightedness to-6 diopters and one Curvature of the cornea (astigmatism) used to approx. 3 diopters (a long sightedness should be treated by LASIK). Others who may share this opinion include Jeff Leiden. Within this scope, the postoperative result can predict very well. The PRK adversely assesses the initial wound pain, which can last up to the regression of the Deckschickt of the cornea 3-4 days. Relief creates wearing a therapeutic contact lens here immediately after the surgery.

Also see fluctuations are common in the first 4 to 6 weeks. Recent studies show that the long-term results are stable and comparable with the results of LASIK method after performing a PRK. In the course of the last few years, the PRK was further developed into the LASEK and Epi-LASIK: the LASEK the epithelial (surface layer of the cornea) is by a 20% solution of alcohol from his pad replaced and then pushed back with a small spatula. Then, the corneal tissue is removed according to the thickness of the refractive excimer laser. Then, the epithelium is put back again and to growth of the epithelium This is balanced by a soft contact lens. Through the LASEK method the postoperative discomfort can be reduced significantly. In contrast to the LASEK the epithelium with an alcohol solution from the base at the Epi-LASIK, but clicked it will cast aside carefully with the help of a blunt plastic blade. After the laser on the surface of the epithelium is put back also again to cover the wound. The PRK – LASEK – and Epi-LASIK procedure is an option for imperfect people, where the LASIK or Femto LASIK method due to a thin cornea not in question comes. Despite the postoperative higher discomfort or pain are long term with similar good results compared to the classic LASIK to the count. BLU Meditravel Mathias Weber

Several conventional therapies had previously led to no success. There is also a pilot study to male infertility took place from 1993 to 1995. 45 men have been treated in the pilot study. Their Spermiogramme showed some significant improvements after twelve months. To the studies in detail.

The study on female infertility was carried out between 1990 and 1992, with a subsequent survey of the situation of women in 1994 with a high Return registration rate. It includes hormonal and idiopathic so unknown causes. The Spermiogram of the partner had to be normal or only slightly reduced, at least a fallopian tube had to be consistently good. Following errors had to be excluded: Hypergonadotrope ovarian failure, pituitary tumor, pituitary insufficiency, Hypo – or hyperthyroidism, alcohol and drug abuse, and severe General diseases. During the treatment period were less than 30% of pregnant women, 4% spontaneously after 3% with alternative methods like acupuncture, just under 4% with conventional therapy. But good 60% remained childless. Habitual Abortern more than 3 abortions more than half with homeopathic treatment was pregnant.

Although it was not examined in the study, but experimental values show that homeopathy can help also repeated miscarriages in the own biography or family history, to reach a stable pregnancy. Repeated miscarriages often indicate a congenital weakness of organ of the genitourinary system from the homeopathic perspective. The study considered the differences of successfully and unsuccessfully homeopathically treated women. the age plays a role. Fairly good results were obtained at the 30, over 35, it was more difficult. The length of the desire played a role in less than three years almost two-thirds had success only 15% over 5 years. But women could be treated successfully with a fertility for over 10 years (here, the ratio at 25%)! Work and working time played no role. Almost all participants in the study have worked.
