Considering LASIK or LASEK surgery can involve many questions. How is it done? How do I know which doctor to choose? Is it safe? Will it last? What’s involved? The following information should be helpful, but you may still have questions regarding LASIK or LASEK surgery. Since that will probably be the case, simply continue searching the Internet under New York LASEK. Many different sites will pop up and you will have a plethora of additional information to satisfy your intense curiosity. No one wants to go into something as technical as LASIK or LASEK without all your questions being met. After all we are talking about your eyes.

LASIK and LASEK are two different types of procedures. LASIK cuts a thin flap into the eye’s surface that is then lifted. Laser energy is applied to the eye for reshaping and then the flap is replaced. This flap acts as a bandage to increase healing time. LASEK, on the other hand, involves lifting the epthelial layer of the eye from its surface and then applies laser energy for reshaping. The epthelial layer is then replaced on the eye’s surface and covered by a BCL (a Bandage Contact Lens with no prescription) for healing purposes. Recover time is longer with LASEK and tradition LASIK surgery. Again, fully researching the difference is extremely helpful while you’re considering either procedure.

On occasion LASIK patients require reading glasses, but its certainly worth the money to be free of corrective lenses on a daily basis. Not to mention the great feeling you’ll get the first time you open your eyes from a good night’s sleep and see your bedroom clearly.

From Tagging to Banksy - a Look at Graffiti

Filed under: Beaux Arts — admin @ 2:16 am

Graffiti has invited a mixed press in the last few years. On the one hand, talented artists such as Banksy have made walls a place to put a political point across, utilizing stencils to produce technically tricky artworks with political points attached. This kind of graffiti was likely to become trendy with the masses and the likes of The Guardian pressroom : pleasing to the eye, and the intellect. This sort of graffiti is now even bought as graffiti on canvas, and hung in middleclass homes and corporate reception areas.

All the same, what about the other end of the spectrum? - the scally, the tagger, the gangbanger type - this is just seen as antisocial, an offence perpetrated by the untalented. But is graffiti merely art? To many individuals, it’s not only art, but a way to put your stamp on a district, or even a rejection of society altogether : anti-art, anti-social, anti-establishment.

Graffiti has invariably been a covert activity, even though the effects are public facing. The intended audience is often unknown. Is it for a rival gang? A message to an individual? To the public at large? Or….possibly it’s simply uncalled-for and out of boredom.

Whatever the causes, there seems to be some kind of permanent need to spray on walls. Some town councils have admitted that graffiti isn’t a fad, so they’ve designated areas where graffiti is allowed - normally derelict areas, but now and again busier zones like temporary boarding around urban buildings under construction.
