What Is Lasik Eye Surgery?
During Lasik eye surgery the cornea and the lens are reshaped in order to improve the refractive properties of your eye

Who Should Have Lasik Eye Surgery?
Lasik eye surgery is ideal for people who suffer from near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism. These conditions are all a result of the shape of ones eye being slightly unusual. Near sightedness occurs as a result of one?s eye being slightly longer from back to front, meaning that light focuses on your eye in such a way as to make objects further away appear blurry. With far-sightedness the opposite occurs, as the eye is too short, and objects that are closer to you appear blurry. Astigmatism is a condition that results from the eye being irregularly shaped, and so light focuses inconsistently on various areas of the eye.
These conditions can all be improved upon with Lasik eye surgery. Consulting with an ophthalmologist is a great way to find out what the possibilities are for other conditions.
Being Approved For Lasik Eye Surgery
Most physicians will take you through a preliminary test process to see if you are a candidate for Lasik eye surgery. Considerations include the size of your pupils, the thickness of your cornea, the pressure inside your eye, the shape of our eye as well as a number of other properties that would affect the surgery.
Something that should be considered is also that people who are younger than 20 years old are prone to fluctuating hormones, which affects the ?refractive stability? of the eye ? basically how consistent the way your eye responds to light is. Pregnancy or other hormone supplements could thus also mean that you are not a candidate for Lasik eye surgery. Another condition that affects this is diabetes, and there are some types of diabetes that would rule out candidates for Lasik surgery.
In terms of general considerations it should be considered that being risk averse, a slow healer, having eye disease or injuries and being actively involved in sport are all factors that could make one less suitable for Lasik surgery. Herpes, glaucoma and ocular hypertension further reduce once chances of being eligible. In addition to the physical conditions that could hinder the process, it must be considered that lifestyle (sports) and financial considerations could also impact whether or not you qualify, as some medical aid schemes don?t cover the surgery in full.
So ? Who Qualifies?
Qualifying for Lasik eye surgery is thus dependent on a number of factors. All eye conditions cannot be solved with this type of surgery, but conditions resulting from the shape of the cornea or the lens can be hugely improved. Many patients have testified to the way the surgery as improved their lives.
Lasik eye surgery can be a great solution, but any procedure must be suited to the needs of the patient, and it?s important for you to research and find out more about what is the best option for you.

CAPE TOWN, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba on Tuesday rejected with contempt any suggestion that the new immigration regulations are part of an Afrophobic agenda to keep Africans or any nationality out of South Africa.
"Opportunistically, South Africa is being advised to drop or relax visa requirements in a world where they are required of South Africans when travelling abroad and where security has become a matter of global concern," Gigaba said in his Budget Vote speech in Parliament.
He was responding to mounting criticism against the new immigration regulations, implemented in late May.
The new regulations distinguish between short-stay visas and long-stay permits.
One of the most significant changes is that visa applications or extensions can now only be made at missions abroad where details are biometrically captured and visas collected in person.
Anyone traveling with a minor will also now need to be in possession of the child's unabridged birth certificate and, in some cases, affidavits by missing parents as well as translations of birth certificates issued in other languages.
Tourism agencies and the opposition maintain that the new immigration regulations are poorly conceived, prematurely implemented and will have a profoundly negative impact on jobs and the economy.
But Gigaba brushed aside the concerns, saying the country's immigration management "enables us to bring in workers and investors who contribute to economic growth".
"Our staff have done well to eliminate visa and permit backlogs, and proactively assist businesses with immigration issues," he said.
He argued that the new immigration regulations will make it easier to source critical skills from overseas.
Foreign nationals possessing critical skills, he said, can now apply for and be granted a critical skills visa, even without a job, allowing them to enter the country and seek work for a period of up to 12 months.
Gigaba announced that all 11 Visa Facilitation Centres are now operational throughout South Africa and results have begun to show in the sense that 4,000 applications were received in June alone and the turnaround time for adjudication has already been reduced.
"We must manage immigration securely and effectively in a way which benefits our economy and society, heeds our international obligations and manages risks to national security," Gigaba noted.
During the previous year, the Department of Home Affairs facilitated the movement of 39 million travellers in and out of South Africa, demonstrating that the department's ability to manage the flow of people in and out of the country is becoming increasingly efficient and robust, said Gigaba.
He also assured African immigrants living in South Africa or others who want to co.
