Diabetes Type 1 - Insulin-dependent diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes because it’s often diagnosed in young people. The pancreas, which normally would produce insulin, is unable to do so, so insulin must be injected so the patient can convert sugars and starch into energy. A person with Diabetes, Type 1 or 2, is susceptible to vision problems because the tiny blood vessels in the eyes weaken and start to leak, damaging the retina. See Diabetic Retinopathy.

Diabetes Type 2 - The more common of the two types of Diabetes, where the pancreas can produce insulin, but not enough. Insulin may or may not have to be injected for the person to convert sugars into energy. Sometimes Type 2 can be well-managed by sticking to the right diet and exercise routines.

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) - Hereditary degeneration of the retina. It usually leads to legal blindness by progressively reducing peripheral vision. There are three main forms:

* dominant, where about half of the family members develop the disease.
* X-linked, for which the females are carriers and males develop the disease in alternating generations.
* recessive, where there is no family history of the disease, but it occurs on occasion.

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses - Also known as Gas-Permeable (GP) or oxygen-permeable contact lenses. Contact lenses which allows air to pass through them. They are hard, but more flexible than the older-style “hard” contact lenses which were used before 1971. They contain silicone, which is flexible and since it allows oxygen to pass through it, these lenses are more comfortable and healthier for the eye, which needs lots of oxygen.

DR WILLIAM BOOTHE - DALLAS: Not only does the book talk about the different eye surgeries available at this time, it also explains all the different eye conditions that could affect anyone. Dr. Boothe there are still more numerous books available that would give you an idea what you are going through right now with your eyes and what you can do about them. if you have all the information, making the right decision on what to do becomes much easier. Your fear will be alleviated and after treatment, you will see the world in a different new light.
Dr. Boothe, having problems with vision and having to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses can be burdensome. Some have problems with constantly losing or breaking glasses and tearing contact lenses. Some find it difficult to look for glasses that perfectly fit the shape of their faces and some feel that it makes them look older.

Coma - A higher order aberration which makes points of light look like comets with blurry tail-like smudges. It can be diagnosed and treated with wavefront-guided LASIK procedures.

Complex Wavefront Retreatment - An off-label use of the excimer laser to do corrective secondary surgery after the original wavefront-guided surgery has left the patient with higher-order aberrations.

DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK DALLAS: Legal Blindness - A definition of blindness which enables a person to apply for government disability benefits. It can be either a visual acuity of 20/200 (or worse), with corrective lenses, in the better eye, or tunnel vision in the better eye of 20 degrees in diameter. This level of blindness is severe, but does not necessarily prevent a person from functioning at all.

AAO - American Academy of Ophthalmology, an professional membership organization for ophthalmologists. Also the American Academy of Optometry, a professional membership organization for optometrists (also called American Optometric Association).

ABES - American Board of Eye Surgeons, a professional membership organization for ophthalmologists. It’s affiliated with the ACES, the American College of Eye Surgeons.

Diabetic Retinopathy - (ret-in-AHP-uh-thee) Damage done to the small blood vessels that feed the retina. In the early stage it’s known as background diabetic retinopathy. The small arteries in the retina weaken and leak, which often causes swelling and impaired vision.

The later stage is called proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Since the arteries are not functioning well to bring oxygen to the eye’s cells, retinal cells become ischemic (lacking in oxygen). The eye develops new blood vessels (a response known as neovascularization) but these are weak and also start leaking, so the problem becomes worse.

Eventually, as the body continues to grow extra blood vessels, which continue to leak, scars can form, and the retina can detach from its membrane at the back of the eye, causing blindness.
