The book will ultimately give readers a variety of vision based information regarding Dr. Khanna’s most advanced and most buzzed about procedure, Prelex.
Prelex is a new age, procedure that involves, removing the eyes natural lens and replacing them with an artificial or presbyopic implant lens. This procedure is remarkably influential because it allows patients to see near, middle, and distance without the use of contacts or glasses. Additionally, this procedure will save patients from having to undergo cataract surgery later in life, as cataracts are unable to develop in artificial lenses.
The book will give patients insight, allowing them to contemplate the procedure, understand the surgeon/patient consultation, learn the advantages of prelex over lasik, and understand the entirety of the procedure and exactly what it entails. This step by step guide, analyzes and interprets the risks and complications, the actual lens implants, and explains life after prelex.
As explained earlier, the prelex procedure involves exchanging the eyes natural lens for a presbyopic implant lens. There is a variety of implant lenses to choose from including; Restor Crystalens, and Tecnis implants. Each lens differs in capability and performance, A good surgeon will discuss the positives and negatives of each lens and together you will deifier which lens best fits your lifestyle. Dr. Khanna has performed the prelex procedure on a variety of friends, family members, professional colleagues, celebrities and athletes. For example Dr. Khanna’s patient, actor Butch Patrick star of the popular series, “The Munster’s” had the prelex procedure and choose the Restor lens implants. While, fellow Prelex patient Florence Henderson, of “The Brady Bunch” choose the Crystalens implants.
The partnership between Amazon and the Khanna Vision Institute is a welcomed union. By developing this book and partnering with Amazon, Dr. Khanna’s current patients, as well as new patients, will be able to learn about the prelex procedure, and easily access the information through a trusted and accredited website such as Amazon.

Balotelli undergoes Lasik
MILAN, Italy -- Mario Balotelli will reportedly
miss Italy's opening two World Cup qualifiers to undergo Lasik eye
surgery. He could also sit out Manchester City's Champions League opener
against Real Madrid and his former manager at Inter Milan, Jose
Mourinho.
The Gazzetta dello Sport reported Saturday that Balotelli will have the procedure Tuesday in his hometown of Brescia. He'll then need to rest for 10 days, ruling him out of Italy's matches with Bulgaria on Friday and Malta four days later.
City visits Madrid on Sept. 18, just 12 days after the surgery. Balotelli is near-sighted and has worn contact lenses for years but the lenses have caused allergies recently and an abscess that led to conjunctivitis, which ruled him out of Italy's friendly with England last month.
Balotelli was initially slated to have the operation immediately after the European Championship, but it was postponed when he went on vacation, the Gazzetta reported.
"He can't delay any longer," Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini told the Gazzetta. "Mario can't handle the contact lenses anymore. He's better now but it could become a bother again at any time."
Balotelli led Italy with three goals when the Azzurri reached the Euro 2012 final in July.

Crystalens as an alternative to Lasik
Carol Hannah she had cataracts, but the 73-year-old didn't know the clouding in her eyes would cause her
to accidentally drive out of an alley and in front of an oncoming car.
"There was a car coming from my left and I couldn't see it at first. That's when I knew the cataracts were impeding my vision," Hannah said. "I could tell driving that I was not having full vision in my left eye; that's when I decided to get Crystalens."
Hannah's eye doctor, Dr. Lawrence Minardi, has performed Crystalens implants since March 2005.
Crystalens is an artificial lens implant that can treat both a person's cataracts and presbyopia, the loss of near and intermediate vision.
Introduced in 2003, it is the first and only accommodating intraocular lens approved by the Federal Drug Administration, Bausch & Lomb, developers of the Crystalens, wrote in an email. Nearly 4,000 physicians in the U.S. have implanted several hundreds of thousands of Crystalens, Bausch & Lomb wrote.
Minardi said when he performs cataract surgery he typically replaces the eye's natural lens with a standard IOL. But the Crystalens actually mimics what the natural lens of an eye does, he said. "The standard conventional lens implant can only focus for far away because it doesn't have the ability to accommodate like the natural lens," Minardi explained. "There's no perfect lens implant. Nothing we have manmade is quite as good as the natural lens the good Lord gave us, but the Crystalens is made in such a way that it's closer to the natural lens than the conventional replacement."
For Hannah, who wore glasses since her 50s, not having to put another pair of bifocals on again was the biggest bonus of her surgery.
"The regular lens implant doesn't give you the full vision -- you still have to wear glasses," Hannah said. "To me, Crystalens were worth it because I can read a newspaper without glasses. I can watch TV without glasses."
Former First Lady Gayle Manchin, 65, put on her first pair of glasses at the age of 12. She started wearing contacts as a young adult to help her see at a distance and even tried bifocals as an adult.
When she and husband Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., moved to Washington in 2010, Manchin said she started seeing halos of light around cars' headlights and blurry street signs.
"For me, there was a safety issue involved. I didn't feel comfortable driving. I felt my lack of really good eyesight was preventing me from driving as well as I should be," Gayle Manchin said.
After her mother referred her to Minardi, Manchin and Minardi agreed that Crystalens was the best option for her.
