This is the final installment of cool facts about dolphin eyes that we learned about from Joy Clausen Soto, Senior Dolphin Trainer at SeaWorld.
“Dolphin eyes ‘glow’ at night! Just like cats and dogs, dolphins have a layer of reflective cells behind their retina which helps them see better in low light conditions.”
It would be pretty cool if we could make our patients’ eyes
glow in the dark. Unfortunately, technology just doesn’t allow us to do that
yet.
What we do see, however, is the ‘glow’ of many of our
patients’ faces after they’ve had a successful LASIK procedure. This glow may
come immediately after the procedure, when they can read a clock on the wall,
or it may come several visits later when their vision has stabilized and they
realize what type of freedom they now have. Not all outcomes are the same, of
course, and not everyone experiences this glow.
Many people research LASIK technology and surgeons for years
before making the decision to move forward. Sometimes they end up wasting a lot
of time, energy and even anxiety thinking about LASIK…only to learn that they
aren’t good candidates for LASIK in the first place.
Everyone has their own unique set of eyes. Even if you think
you have the same eyeglass prescription as another person who had LASIK, your
own genetic make-up and health conditions may preclude you from having a
successful outcome. Without a detailed eye examination from an experienced
LASIK surgeon, you’ll never know if you have the right conditions to possibly
reverse your nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
We hope you’ve enjoyed learning a little bit dolphins – and
learning a little about LASIK along the way. We’d love to tell you more.
