To have a reversal of the aging process and even preventing cataracts from ever hindering your new vision. This ground-breaking advancement is called Presbyopic Implant in the Eye (PIE). PIE starts from where lasik eye surgery hit a dead end. Lasik above 45 years of age takes away reading and middle vision. If done in thirties inability to read surface in the late forties. People confuse this with lasik fading away. PIE delivers permanent vision for distance middle and near in each eye. It is superior to monovision. Yes, it is eternal. PIE is the only definitive way to prevent cataracts.PIE is a pain free procedure built on the edifice of great communication between surgeon and patient. Usually this has been found to be lacking. This book steps in and helps to bridge that chasm between the surgeon and patient. The book is written in easy to understand English and avoids the medical jargon used in doctor's office. Our experience has shown that patients understand a little of what the doctors tell and retain even less.The book starts with the basics and takes us on a journey of how visual pathways involved. You may be surprised to learn it's the eyes not the brain which actually "see". The next chapter defines presbyopia and non surgical methods to treat it. This is followed by the wonderful chapter which explains PIE and how it is the only method to cure Presbyopia. In fact, it might be the only disease we can cure in a short precure. Have you ever realized we cannot even cure Hypertension or Diabetes. We just make people addicted to medicines. There are many other advantages of PIE enumerated in this chapter including ability to reduce chance of glaucoma. What a lay person should think about when choosing the procedure in surgeon is dealt in the next chapter. The next two amazing chapters detail the procedure and what to expect and choices available.

Even if you have had previous lasik or other eye surgeries you could benefit from PIE procedure as explained. Neuroadpataion and astigmatism management are discussed.

Download or read book The Third Miracle written by Bill Briggs and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part detective story and part courtroom drama—with a touch of the supernatural—The Third Miracle exposes, for the first time ever, the secret rituals and investigations the Catholic Church today undertakes in order to determine sainthood. On a raw January 2001 morning at a Catholic convent deep in the Indiana woods, a Baptist handyman named Phil McCord made an urgent plea to God. He was by no means a religious man but he was a desperate man. McCord’s right eye was a furious shade of red and had pulsed for months in the wake of cataract surgery. He had one shot at recovery: a risky procedure that would replace part of his diseased eye with healthy tissue from a corpse. Dreading the grisly operation, McCord stopped into the convent’s chapel and offered a prayer—a spontaneous and fumbling request of God: Can you help me get through this? He merely hoped for inner peace, but when McCord awoke the next day, his eye was better—suddenly and shockingly better. Without surgery. Without medicine. And no doctor could explain it. Many would argue that Mother Théodore Guérin, the long-deceased matriarchal founder of the convent, had “interceded” on McCord’s behalf. Was the healing of Phil McCord’s eye a miracle? That was a question that the Catholic Church and the pope himself would ultimately decide. As part of an ancient and little-known process, top Catholic officials would convene a confidential tribunal to examine the handyman’s healing, to verify whether his recovery defied the laws of nature. They would formally summon McCord, his doctors, coworkers, and family to a windowless basement room at the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. They would appoint two local priests to serve the roles of judge and prosecutor. And they would put this alleged miracle on trial, all in an effort to determine if Mother Théodore, whose cause for beatification and canonization dated back to 1909, should be named the eighth American saint. In The Third Miracle, journalist Bill Briggs meticulously chronicles the Church investigation into this mysterious healing and offers a unique window into the ritualistic world of the secretive Catholic saint-making process—one of the very foundations on which the Church is built. With exclusive access to the case and its players, Briggs gives readers a front-row seat inside the closed-door drama as doctors are grilled about the supernatural, priests doggedly hunt for soft spots in the claim, and McCord comes to terms with the metaphorical “third miracle”: his own reconciliation with the metaphysical. As the inquiry shifts from the American heartland to an awaiting jury at Vatican City in Rome, Briggs astutely probes our hunger for everyday miracles in an age of technology, the Catholic Church’s surprisingly active saint-making operation, and the eternal clash of faith and science.
