Ehlobo eledlule ngihlinzwe nge-laser ukuze ngilungise ukubona kwami futhi kwangikhulula esimisweni sami sansuku zonke sokushintsha phakathi kwamapheya amathathu ezibuko. I yazi ukuthi kungithathe iminyaka ephelele ukubhala ngakho, kodwa bengifuna ukucacisa imibuzo emincane ngaphambi kokuthi ngikunikeze isinqumo sami sokugcina. Ngoba kuzwakala njengomthwalo omkhulu, ukukutshela mayelana nokwenza kwami i-laser – ngenkathi ngikusho ku-inthanethi ngaba namakhulu, mhlawumbe nezinkulungwane zemilayezo ngakho. Ngithathe isikhathi esiningi ngicabanga ukuhlinzwa kwami kwe-laser futhi ngalinganisa imiphumela, ukuze kuthi lapho ngibuzwa imibuzo ngakho ngikwazi ukuphendula ngeqiniso nangolwazi oluthe xaxa.
Ngakho-ke yebo, amehlo ami akhishwe nge-laser. Engithanda ukuyicabanga ingenza ngizwakale njengomuntu ongajwayelekile, njengokungathi manje ngiwuhlobo oluthile lwezidalwa eziphilayo ezinamandla amakhulu abonakalayo. Futhi, ngandlela thile, I ngi manje isidalwa se-bionic esinamandla amakhulu abonakalayo, ngoba umbono wami webanga elifushane muhle kakhulu, muhle ngendlela engakholakali, kangangokuthi angikwazi nje ukubona izintuthwane njengoba zinqamula ama-slabs evula engadini, ngiyabona isimo sobuso bazo.
Manje angazi ngempela ukuthi ngiqale kuphi ngale ndaba yokuhlinzwa kwe-laser, ngoba kuningi engingakusho futhi akukho ndawo yangempela engingaqala ngayo. Ngiphinde ngibe nomkhuba omubi wokuzama ukubuza imibuzo kusengaphambili nokuphikisa izinganekwane ezingenangqondo kanye/noma ukwesaba okuqondakala kahle. ngaphambili bayavela emibhalweni noma emilayezweni ngakho-ke ngivame ukuzungeza izindlu kancane nge-waffle eminingi lapho ngibhala nganoma yini eqondene nawe noma ethinta impilo.
Ngakho-ke, ngenkathi ngicabanga ngakho konke okuthunyelwe okuhlukene engifuna ukukubhala futhi ngizibuze ngemibuzo abantu abangase babe nayo bese ngizibopha ngamafindo ayisaga kukho konke, ngizoqhubeka ngingene kancane kancane. yesifinyezo.
Ukuphindaphinda: Ngangiguliswa izibuko zami, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuthi amehlo ami ayengasaboni kahle futhi ngangidinga ukuzigqoka ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kodwa ngangingafuni ukuwagqoka ukuze ngiqoshwe, angikwazanga ukuwagqoka ukuze ngizivocavoce futhi ngidinga izinhlobo ezahlukene zemisebenzi eyahlukene futhi konke kwase kuphenduka indawana nje. Ngakho ngazama ama-contact lens futhi angizange ngiqhubeke nawo nhlobo. (Ungafunda ngalokho lapha futhi lapha.) Futhi ngenkathi ukuxoxa ngamalensi oxhumana naye ku-inthanethi, Ngibe namakhulukhulu ama-DM avela kubantu ababekhuthaza ngentshiseko futhi ngezwi elikhulu ukuhlinzwa kwe-laser njengenketho. Incomela emazulwini aphakeme, empeleni. Imilayezo engiyiphendule kakhulu, Oh, ngiyabonga ngokukhathazeka kwakho kodwa akuyona indlela engingake ngihambe ngayo.
Ikakhulukazi ngoba: INGABE LABA ABANTU BAHLANYA? Kungani umuntu angahlinzwa nge-laser eye, ngazibuza? I-Laser. Iso. Ukuhlinzwa. Ubani ongake ahlinzwe ngokuzithandela emehlweni ngaphandle uma kuyisidingo sokugcina amehlo? Njengokuthi, ngokwesibonelo, ungathimula uvuliwe amehlo akho aphume amabala (okuyiqiniso okuyinganekwane).
Impela kuzomele ube semaphethelweni abucayi ukuze uvumele umuntu eduze kwamehlo akho ngenaliti noma ummese. Kukhona okuthize…Iwashi eliwolintshi Mayelana nakho. Futhi igama elithi “laser” nelithi “iso” akuhlangene ngokuphelele emshweni, ngokubona kwami. Akufanele ngisho babonakale endaweni efanayo. Mayelana nokumaketha okuyimpumelelo kwenqubo yezokwelapha, kuyinhlanganisela yamagama embi. Ngendlela efanayo ubungeke ungenele Ukuhlinzwa Kwesende Ngembazo noma Ukuhlinzwa Kobuchopho Be-Chainsaw, I-Laser Eye iveza zonke izinhlobo zezithombe ezesabekayo zengqondo.
Kwakungenye yalezo zinto engangizizwe ngazo phakathi neminyaka futhi ngazichitha ngaso leso sikhathi – zasulwa – engqondweni yami. Kwakungabalulekile kimina, kwakungekho phuzu lokucabanga ngakho ngoba ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser kwakuyinto engangingasoze ngayenza, ngiyenze.
Angizange ngicabange nokuthi kungani kwakungeyona into engangiyoke ngiyenze; bekungenye yalezo zinto engingadingi ukucabanga ngazo ngoba bekuyilelo qembu elikhulu labantu engithanda ukulibiza. abanye abantu. Omkhulu Ongaguquki.
Nokho: Sonke siyazi ukuthi ngiyaluthanda ucwaningo oluthile. Phela, akucaci ukuthi ngiziphilisa – ngiyacwaninga futhi ngiyabuyekeza izinto, noma yini kusukela kumapani okuthosa kuya emakamelweni ehhotela futhi kusukela ku-lipstick kuya kumaphephadonga – futhi angikwazanga ukuyiziba kahle imilayezo nezincomo ezivela kumakhulu abafundi nabalandeli abanezisusa ezinhle. Impela bekufanele ukuthi ngiphoxeke kancane, ngihlakaniphe ngolwazi, noma ngabe angikaze, ngiyoke ngenze noma yini ehilela ukukhishwa okwedlulele kwezinhlamvu zamehlo ami?
Ngakho-ke ngahamba ngayofuna uchwepheshe kulo mkhakha, umuntu onolwazi olunzulu nolwazi oluphakeme, futhi ngikhonjwe indlela kaMnu Allon Barsam, udokotela ohlinzayo kanye nozakwethu owasungula umtholampilo wamehlo osezingeni lomhlaba, Umbono we-OCL. Ungabona uhlu olubanzi lukaMnu Barsam lwemininingwane lapha – kuphephile ukusho ukuthi wazi ngokuphelele, ngamaphesenti ayikhulu lokho akhuluma ngakho.
Kunokuba ngivele ngiyobuza imibuzo ethile, ngavuma ukuya emtholampilo e-London ukuze ngiyobonisana naye futhi ngenze yonke i-shebang, njengokungathi ngenza kanjalo— kuhlekwa! – ngicabanga ngokujulile ngokuhlinzwa mina. Kwakukhona ukuskena nokuhlolwa, ukuhlola kanye nezingxoxo futhi ngenkathi konke lokhu okumatasa “uqhubeka ubheka ukukhanya okukhanyayo” ukuphazamisa kwakuqhubeka, ngakwazi ukwehlisa ngokwengqondo ukuthi kwakuyini mayelana nokuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser engangikwesaba ngempela. Ngabona ukuthi ukwesaba kwami okuyinhloko cishe kwakufana nokwabanye abantu, ukuthi a) ukuhlinzwa kwakuzohamba kabi futhi ngizoba yimpumputhe noma ukuthi b) imiphumela yokuhlinzwa yayingeke ihlale.
Nganqwabelana ehhovisi lika-Allon ngizizwa ngicasulwe kakhulu izivivinyo eziningi zokukhanya ezibenyezelayo engangike ngaba nazo kanye namathonsi esweni ayeguqule yonke into yaba yingqondo futhi yaqalisa imibuzo yami.
‘Ingabe ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser kuyingozi?’ Ngibuzile. ‘Ngiqonde ukuthi yini embi kakhulu engenzeka?’
U-Alon uphendule ngesineke futhi ngaphandle kokusho ukuthi uke wabuzwa lo mbuzo izikhathi eziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu ngaphambili. ‘Ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser empeleni kuphephile kunokugqoka amalensi okuxhumana, ezandleni ezifanele,’ esho.
Kulokho ngavuma. Kungenzeka kanjani lokho?
‘Ngokuhlinzwa nge-laser kunengozi engaba ngu-1/10,000 yenkinga ebaluleke ngempela engadinga amalensi okuxhumana noma ukuhlinzwa okwengeziwe ukuze kulungiswe,’ esho. Wangikhuthaza ukuba ngibheke izehlakalo zezifo ezimbi kakhulu ze-cornea ezihlobene nokusetshenziswa kwamalensi okuxhumana, ngakwenza. Izibalo engizitholile? Amacala amane okutheleleka okubi kakhulu kwabagqoki abayizi-10,000, ngonyaka.
Lokhu kuqhathanisa bekungahloselwe ukwethusa uma kuziwa ekusetshenzisweni kwelensi yokuxhumana, kodwa ukugqamisa ukuthi izinkinga beziyivelakancane kangakanani kuzo zombili izimo. Futhi ukukhombisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwelensi yokuxhumana, okungavame ukuthathwa njengokungenabungozi ngokuphelele, kusenengozi eyengeziwe kukho kunokuhlinzwa nge-laser. Okuyinto abantu abaningi (mina uqobo engiyifakile kuze kube manje) ababecabanga ukuthi yayiyingozi njengokuvumela ingane encane evalwe amehlo iqophe izinzwane zakho ngama-secateurs engadini.
Kuthiwani ngezinkinga ezingathí sina kangako?
‘Izinkinga ezincane ezingalungiseka kalula zenzeka kakhulu,’ kusho u-Allon. ‘Ithuba lokudinga inqubo yokuthuthukisa (ukushuna kahle) ngemva kokuhlinzwa nge-laser licishe libe ngu-2% kodwa liyahlukahluka ngokuya ngemiyalelo – kungaba ngu-1% wemiyalelo ethambile kanye nokunye ukuze uthole imiyalelo ebaluleke kakhulu.’
Kufanele ngisho, kuzwakale kukuhle kakhulu. Sixoxe ngezimo ezingaba khona Okuningi cishe ngilahlekelwa ukubona ngenhlekelele ye-fluke Lasik. Kwakukhona amaningana, iningi lawo azwakaliswa yimina, kanye nelilodwa elihlanganisa indiza ephambukisela umzila wokuma kwayo ngephutha ku-Harley Street, okubangele ukuba iphahlazeke odongeni lwehhovisi futhi yangishaya ebusweni.
Ngazizwa ngiqinisekiswa yiqiniso lokuthi uMnu Barsam wenze ukuhlinzwa kwe-laser emapheyani angaphezu kuka-10,000 wamehlo ngaphandle komdlalo. Ubungozi bokuba khona kokuthile “okungahambi kahle”, kubonakala sengathi, babuncane kakhulu futhi kungelona uhlobo “lokungahambi kahle” enganginalo emcabangweni wami, okwakuwukuthi i-laser enkulu ye-James Bond-style baddy yayizohamba kabi futhi ibhoboze ezinhlamvini zamehlo ami. , kungenze ngibe yimpumputhe, noma ukuthi “kuzoshelela” futhi kugxilise ikhanda lami libe izingxenye ezimbili ezifanayo.
Akunjalo. Uhlobo olungalungile lwe-laser kanye nesimo esenziwe ngobuphukuphuku esivamile salezo engizikhiqizayo emcabangweni wami osebenza ngokweqile. Uma izinkinga ziphakama ngokuhlinzwa kwe-laser, ngokusobala akuzona izinto ezifana namabhola amehlo aphumayo futhi agingqika, noma abantu bavele bangaboni lutho, obekuwukwesaba kwami. Uma umtholampilo wamehlo umuhle, khona-ke udokotela ohlinzayo uyobe eseyibhekile imiphumela yokuhlolwa nezikena futhi wahlangana nesiguli ngendlela yokubonisana ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa ngokwako futhi uyobe esenqume ukufaneleka kokuhlinzwa nge-laser kusengaphambili kanye nokuxoxa ngemiphumela engase ibe khona ngokwemibandela yokuhlinzwa. yini ongayilindela embonweni wakho omusha nokuthi imiphumela ingase ihlale isikhathi esingakanani.
Manje kungenzeka ukuthi uyacabanga, uma ungumgxeki ongelapheki njengami, vele lomfana uthi uzoba nombono omuhle kanti ubungozi buphansi! Unguzakwethu wangempela emtholampilo wamehlo ohlinzeka nge-laser! Kodwa-ke, njengoba uMnu Barsam engiphakamise ngobunono nangobuciko obukhulu, akadingi makhasimende. Akadingi ‘ukuthengisa’ ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser. Usuku lwakhe ekuhlinzeni lungagcwaliswa ngokuhlinzwa kwamehlo okuyinkimbinkimbi kwezinye izinhlobo, ukushintshwa kwamalensi nokuhlinzwa kwe-cataract nezinye izinto engangingazifuni ku-Google. Uyenqaba ingxenye efanelekile yabantu abeza kuye bezobona ukuthi bafanele yini futhi usebenza neRoyal College of Ophthalmologists ukuvikela izindinganiso zikazwelonke ekuhlinzeni kwe-laser kanye ne-lens-based refractive.
Kodwa nansi inkinga ngakho konke: yena akadingi ukubiza amaklayenti ngendlela ebandayo noma “ukuthengisa” ukuhlinzwa kwe-laser kubantu, umtholampilo wakhe awudingi ukugcwalisa izincwadi zawo nge-carousel engapheli yeziguli, ukungena nokuphuma ngomnyango ojikelezayo, kodwa izindawo eziningi zenza njalo. Leyo imodeli yebhizinisi labo: umthamo.
Ngenkathi ngixoxa no-Allon, ngimvivinya ngezimo zami ze-farcical “kuthiwani uma” futhi ngihlola ukubekezela kwakhe ngokusobala okungenamkhawulo, ngathola umqondo wokuthi kwakunamazinga ahluke kakhulu okunakekelwa kanye nesevisi uma kuziwa ekuhlinzweni kwamehlo nge-laser. Futhi ukuthi ekugcineni okuphansi kwe-spectrum, lapho abantu ngokuvamile bengahlangani nodokotela ohlinzayo kuze kube ngaphambi nje kokuhlinzwa kwabo futhi kwakungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi abantu abangafanelekile bazokwamukelwa ukuze bathole ukwelashwa (ngoba kunenzuzo enkulu, futhi iziguli eziningi ziba yimpumelelo. !) noma yiziphi izinkinga ngokuhlinzwa noma imiphumela izogqanyiswa kakhulu ngokunakekela okubi kanye/noma ukungabi nandaba lapho imiphumela idumaza noma ingalindelekile.
Okungilethe kolunye ukwesaba kwami, noma ukukhathazeka, okwakuyilolo abantu abambalwa ababethumele nalo umlayezo futhi, kuyavunywa, bekuyinto edambisa umdlandla: izoba isikhathi esingakanani imiphumela yokuhlinzwa kwe-laser. empeleni okokugcina? Ingabe besikhona isiqinisekiso sokuthi uzothola inombolo ethile yeminyaka yokubona okukhazimulayo, okungenasici?
Hhayi-ke lokhu bekuwukuthi “ucucu lwentambo lude kangakanani?” umbuzo uma ngike ngawubuza. Ngokwami amehlo, (incwadi kadokotela ene-hyperopic ephezulu ngokumaphakathi ene-astigmatism), uMnu Barsam uthe ‘ngeke ngizidingile unomphela izibuko zokubona kude nokufunda umphakathi – imenyu endaweni yokudlela, ifoni yakho, ideshibhodi yemoto, ukubona ukubeka. ekwenziweni kwe-makeup’ kodwa kwathi lapho ngifika eminyakeni engu-40 nasekuqaleni kwengama-50s ‘kungase kudingeke ukuthi ngiqale ukugqoka izifundi zokuhlanganisa eziphansi ukuze ngiphrinte kancane kuphela.’
Kuzwakale kugcwele igazi kimi.
Ngakho-ke, ngesithembiso sokubona kwe-bionic (hhayi amagama asetshenziswe uMnu Barsam, ukucaca) nangokwazi ukuthi i-laser ngeke ifane naleyo eku-James Bond nokuthi inqubo ngeke ibe buhlungu, ngabhalisela slot lokuqala etholakalayo ukuhlinzwa. Ngingene “ukuyocwaninga nje” kodwa ngabona ngokushesha ukuthi ukuhlinzwa kwamehlo nge-laser kwakuyimpendulo yesikhathi eside, engenamaphutha engangikade ngiyifuna. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi noma yikuphi ukwesaba enganginakho kwase kungasekho ngazizwa ngikhululekile ngokuphelele mayelana nokuhlinzwa – ngijatshuliswa umcabango wakho, uma kukhona, okwakungaphandle kakhulu kimi.
Ngizobuya (iso lizobuya!) nesitolimende sami esilandelayo salolu hambo lwamehlo ngesonto elizayo. Isihloko sokusebenza: I-Laser Quest. Ngizokutshela ngendlela izinto ezenzeka ngayo, ukuthi kwazizwa kanjani kanye nezinto engangingazilindele kanye nezingcezu ezingokoqobo ezifana nezinqubo zokululama kanye nokudonsa amehlo futhi – okubalulekile – izindleko.
Kodwa ngaphambi kwalokho, into ezojabulisa noma ubani ngemva kolwazi oluthe xaxa: ngizokwenza I-Instagram Live with Allon ngoMsombuluko 3rd June ngo-6pm. Sicela usijoyine esiteshini sami (@ruthcrilly) futhi uthumele nganoma yimiphi imibuzo ongase ube nayo esigabeni sokuphawula esingezansi. Ngizowabhala phansi ngiwafake engxoxweni yethu uma sibukhoma emoyeni.
Uma ufuna ukubheka umtholampilo engaya kuwo, noma uthole okwengeziwe ngoMnuz Allon Barsam kanye ne-laser yakhe (lungiselela ukuhlangana nomenzi wakho, Bond!) bese iwebhusayithi yabo ilapha: Umbono we-OCL.
Umshwana wokuzihlangula: Ngikhokhe inani eliphelele ngokuhlinzwa kwami. Ukubonisana kumahhala.
