		<description><![CDATA[Presbyopia affects everyone. Throughout our lives we gradually lose our ability to focus up close. Young children can focus on objects just a couple inches from their face. Teenagers can read something a few inches from their nose. College students see clearly at less than a foot away. By forty years of age, however, books [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many LASIK and refractive surgeons are now using Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R) as a treatment for patients with keratoconus. Recent evidence and studies are showing that Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R) strengthens the corneal structure and can help prevent the progression of keratoconus. C3R works by increasing collagen crosslinking, giving the cornea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News has been released through Reuters in an article by Ben Hirshler that British scientists are planning to use embryonic stem cells to cure age related macular degeneration, a common form of blindness. They are hoping to have the first patients receive test treatments within five years. This could be a major improvement in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems incredulous that an NBA athlete&#8217;s post-game comments could actually amount to something very important. You usually don&#8217;t hear things that can save your child&#8217;s eye from being removed because there is another solution available for children with retinoblastoma. It seems incredible, yet that is what happened when Utah Jazz guard Derek Fisher arrived [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Presbyopia is the term for the diminishing ability to focus on up-close objects with age. While the ability to focus on near objects grows progressively worse beginning at birth, it is often first noticed at age 40 when the near focus is approximately 40 cm. Since this is a standard reading distance, it is this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Glaucoma can be a devastating disease if not diagnosed and treated. Chronic glaucoma slowly destroys the nerve fibers on the retina causing a slow deterioration of the optic nerve and a progressive loss of sight. Generally glaucoma can be treated successful if diagnosed. Glaucoma treatments can include either changes in lifestyle, medications, or surgery. Glaucoma [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Near sightedness Near-sightedness is caused by an eyeball that is too long or a cornea that is too curved. This results in vision that is blurry in the distance but clear at near. People that are very highly near-sighted must hold an object very close before it is clear. Some people use glasses or contact [...]]]></description>
