My Friend’s Vision Recovery After Lasik Surgery

Dramatic Change With Lasik Surgery
His name is Anil, he is one of my close friends. Anil is known to be very clever and very outgoing. He is someone whom I never saw in a depressed mood or in negative thinking. I do not know if he is fearless, but I never saw worrying about anything. I and other friends of Anil knew that he is the person who has all the solutions as for the businesses we are running.

Anil is almost 40 and is not yet married. It is odd here in India for a reasonably successful person to be 40 and not married yet. When I once asked him why he has not married yet, he said "I cannot recognize my wife from other women if she is ten feet away from me how can I have a successful married life."

Yes Anil has severe eye sight problem. Right from his childhood, he used to wear glasses. The thickness of his glasses increased with his age and now he wears a very think glass that is not possible to clearly see his eyes. Everyone who knew Anil wanted him to have a better eye sight. Anil himself desired for better life with better eye sight. He met many doctors from different cities here in India. Most of them concluded that his problem can be solved with Lasik eye surgery. But he never went beyond consultation because the cost involved.

No body knew but Anil acted on his desire and started saving money for his surgery. At the beginning of this year he underwent Lasik surgery to his left eye which was in worst condition. I could meet him only once in the hospital. But four months after surgery he visited me a couple of days before. There was a dramatic change in his life after the surgery. He was a hero now he became a superhero. He was very confident person now became super confident. He was good looking even with those thick glasses. Now with designer glasses with eyes looking straight into my eyes, he looks charming.

He visit me to invite me for his wedding. He came along with his fiancée a beautiful girl. It was heartening to see who a simple surgical procedure called lasik surgery can have a dramatic change in a man's life. His vision recovery after lasik surgery was phenomenal.

My Wife’s Teeth Invisible Braces

Teeth Once our needs are fulfilled we always start taking care of our wants. That is what normal human beings do and my wife falls in that category of ordinary normal human beings (my strong belief is that I am special). She always thought the gaps between her teeth made her look less attractive and wanted to close the gaps or at least decrease them.

In my opinion my wife’s teeth are little protruding outwards and hence the gaps. To have a better looking teeth arrangement and hence a better smile, she consulted a dentist (orthodontist) and opted for dental braces.

She wore the dental braces for about two years. The braces were very successful in closing the gaps and realigning her upper teeth. But right from the first day of wearing dental braces, she disliked them. She had many complaints about these braces. She said they are very uncomfortable although they became comfortable with passage of time. She also hated the fact that people now know that she disliked her teeth. Above all she hated the metallic smile she had with the dental braces.

Years after that a couple of days back, we were surfing the internet and in curiosity we started reading about dental braces. We came to know that these days the dental braces are more aesthetic, more efficient, and more comfortable. They are also available in tooth color and other colors for children. There are also braces which can be fitted from inside for invisibility.
These days there is also alternative to braces, aligners called Invisalign which straighten crooked teeth. Unlike dental braces Invisalign uses clear aligners which are removable unlike the wire braces. The process begins with the orthodontist taking the impressions and x-rays of the teeth and sending to the company which makes Invisalign. The company then prepares custom-made aligners and sends back to the dentist who fixes them to the patient. These should be worn for about two weeks and can be removed for eating, brusing, and flossing. The duration required to wear these aligners is between one and half year to three years depending on the problem.

Reliving her dental brace days, my wife felt bad that these new technologies were not available those days. The only respite for her is that Invasilgn is not available in India still. If you are an Indian and you happen to know about any brand of teeth invisible braces please do let me know.

Ways To Treat Shaving Cuts And Stop Bleeding

Shaving facial hair has been under practice for ages. Shaving gives you a face free of hair gives you a face which looks more young and romantic by highlighting the contours of your face. But when you shave the very sharp blade you use for a clear shave might cut your skin instead resulting in cuts and scars. Cut from a sharp blade though superficial is often painful. Once you learn better shaving techniques and get some experience of shaving, cut appear rarely.

Generally the cuts from shaving appear because using the razor rather awkwardly and using a dull blade which is either over used or cheap shaving blade. One more reason is when applied shaving cream, the lather wets the hair and makes it soft and the skin wet so that the blade glides over your skin softly. No applying shaving cream or lather and not giving enough time to the hair and skin to become soft is also one of the reasons for shaving cuts.
The stroke you make with your razor should be along the skin contours. You have to shave opposite to the way which hair bends while growing. If you stretch the skin while shaving, this enables the blade to glide smoothly along the skin and will prevent shaving cuts.

How To Treat Shaving Cuts and Nicks
Even an experienced person occasionally suffers shaving cuts due to some urgency or carelessness. Shaving cuts gives you a sharp pain as the skin is very soft and sensitive with lather applied. The treatment for the shaving cuts includes immediate stopping of bleeding, applying antiseptic lotion, and applying ice to cool the area which gives an effect of cooling numbness to get rid of pain.

I generally use a after shave lotion or spray which is very effective in control the bleeding and protecting the cut from infection. But this is not effective if the cut is rather big and the bleeding is not getting controlled. Then I use pressure with ice cube on the cut to stop bleeding. This is very effective. Using moisturizers is also effective in controlling the bleeding. Moisturizers comes with antiseptic properties and help in preventing the infection.


If you have an topical antiseptic cream or lotion with you available apply it and leave the cut for a day, you will see the shaving cut healing within a day and disappearing within few days.

Now there is a guide available which is totally dedicated to help you stop bleeding from shaving cut by helping you to be prepared and act immediate whenever there is a cut.
