Question: If I'm watching my diet should | watch my bread intake? Answer: Laser Correction (also called Photorefractive Keratectomy or PRK or Excimer Laser Correction) is a procedure in which the comea is gently reshaped to change the angle of refraction. It is available for those who are myopic (near sighted) with or without astigmatism. It is important that candidates have healthy eyes « stable vision for at least one year « freedom from any collagen disease « attained 18 years or older Low in Fat: All breads are low in fat. In fact, it's what you put on top of bread that's often rich in calories and fat, not what's inside. Calorie Conscious? One slice of bread averages just 75 calories! Cholesterol-Free. Most breads are made with vegetable shortening and therefore have no cholesterol. Vitamins & Minerals: Bread is a source of essential nutrients, including the B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, as well as iron. Protein: Combined with foods like beans, peas or peanut butter, bread provides a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. Fibre: An easy way to add fibre to your diet is to choose breads with fibre rich ingredients: wheat bran, oat bran, soy, pea and corn fibre, nuts & seeds. Shifting nutritional trends and concerns about fat have led to a new, revised Food Guide which emphasizes the importance of bread and other grain products, as well as vegetables and fruits. The Food Guide recommends 5-12 servings per day from the grain products group (1 slice of bread = 1 serving). For many Canadians this means doubling the amount of bread and other grain products that is eaten daily." To confirm your candidacy, we will need to do a complete eye examination. This is not the procedure used for cataract surgery.
