LASIK eye surgery is a procedure that uses a cool laser beam to reshape the cornea of the eye. It is an outpatient surgical procedure, and uses only a topical anesthetic to numb the cornea. Most patients report that they feel little or no discomfort during the procedure, and they are awake for the whole process.

During the procedure, your surgeon cuts a flap in the cornea and uses the laser to remove excess tissue from underneath. The amount removed is microscopic, but it allows the eye to focus more clearly. Once the tissue is removed, the flap is replaced and will heal naturally on its own.

Most patients report that they can see better the day following surgery, and most are able to go back to work within two days. After several days with medicated eye drops, they will be healed and seeing better. While there is no guarantee of how much your vision will be improved, most people find they are able to pass their driver’s license vision test without correction immediately after surgery.

While LASIK is a relatively safe procedure, like all surgery it has some risks. You can improve your odds by having your LASIK performed by a qualified surgeon with no complaints, like Dr. William Boothe. At Boothe Laser Center, they have the latest in surgical technology. Dr. Boothe personally has performed more LASIK procedures than any other surgeon in the world, and has outstanding reviews.

Glaucoma is a state in which optic nerve of the eye is damaged. This damage of the optic nerve can cause permanent blindness to the individual. But early detection along with proper treatment can protect the eyes from permanent blindness. The optic nerve consists of over 1 million nerve linking the retina and brain. For good vision, your optic nerve should be healthy. According to several scientific studies, damage of the optic nerve is caused by high eye pressure.

As the fluid passes through the eyes, pressure increases and may cause the optic nerve to become damaged. The increased pressure can result in permanent loss of vision. Controlling eye pressure is very important to avoid glaucoma. Blood pressure can also cause optic nerve damage.

It is not certain that people with high eye pressure will develop glaucoma as some individuals have a higher tolerance to eye pressure than others. The occurrence of glaucoma also depends on the tolerance of optic nerve on eye pressure. Patients must undergo a dilated eye checkup that helps the doctor understand if your eye pressure is unsual. Glaucoma can be developed by any individual. Those who are at high risk of developing glaucoma are:

a) Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
b) African Americans above the age of 40
c) Individuals above the age of 60, particularly Mexican Americans.

Dr. Boothe of Boothe Eye Care will recommend comprehensive dilated eye tests to detect glaucoma. The comprehensive dilated eye tests consists of the visual field test, visual acuity test, dilated eye exam, tonometry, and pachymetry. There are two main types – open angle glaucoma and angle closure glaucoma. In open angle glaucoma, the blindness is caused gradually so it will not be detected until it is too late. No blockage can be seen on the drainage canals in the initial stage of open angle glaucoma, but in a later stage you can find blockages. The drainage will be completely blocked in angle closure glaucoma and patients may develop symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision, eye pain, and nausea.

There are three types of treatments for glaucoma such as medical, surgical, and laser treatment. Medical treatment is performed by applying eye drops at the primary stage to reduce the intraocular pressure. Surgical procedure is done only on individuals who could not achieve the positive results even after eye drops and LASIK. LASIK is an important treatment for patients with glaucoma. Dr. Boothe is an experienced doctor who will help to cure your glaucoma using LASIK eye procedure. Read reviews from actual patients who have underdone Lasik with Dr. Boothe

Have you spoken to your eye doctor about a Lasik vision correction procedure, but are still doubtful? Dr. Boothe offers a new kind of laser treatment that will allow your vision to improve even better than 20/20!

Wavefront Mapping technology is customized to your individual eyes. It provides a unique map of the patient’s vision that reflects all refractive error and aberrations of the eye. Because of this, surgeons are able to obtain diagnostic measurements and make customized treatments according to the patient’s visual “fingerprint”. As a result, the patient can enjoy a higher quality of vision.

Wavefront technology differs from traditional Lasik treatments in the way that vision is measured. It is very important for surgeons to take accurate measurements of each eye in order to obtain the optimal result after a Lasik procedure. This is why the Wavefront Mapping system is 25 times more accurate and effective since it allows a personalized treatment for each patient. It provides improved results and reduces side effects associated with traditional Lasik surgery.

When an individual cannot focus on objects in his or her close range of vision, the condition is known as farsightedness or hyperopia. Individuals with farsightedness have a shorter cornea, which causes the light that enters the eyes to focus at a point beneath the retina. To correct farsightedness, the position in which the light is focused on the retina must be changed. After discussing your vision problems with Dr. Boothe, he will recommend the best treatment options to you. The options available to correct farsightedness are corrective lenses, refractive surgery, and eye exercises.

Most young people do not require any treatment for hyperopia because their eyes are flexible and will compensate for the nearsightedness; however, as we age, the natural lens becomes less flexible, and the patient will likely need to use corrective lenses to be able to see adequately. There are two types of corrective lenses: eye glasses and contact lenses. There are different types of eye glasses available, such as reading lenses, bifocals, and trifocals. Contact lenses are also available in different forms, including hard, soft, gas permeable, bifocals, disposable, and extended wear lenses.

Most people who suffer from farsightedness use eye glasses and contact lenses to correct their condition. Both of these options are less expensive and less risky in comparison to surgical procedures. It is important to schedule regular visits with Dr. Boothe so he can determine if your eyes have changed and if you require a new prescription. Lenses are the best option for children and teenagers, as the prescription of their eyes will change frequently, making surgery an unsuitable option. Implantable contact lenses are also an option for treating farsightedness. Implantable contact lenses (ICLs) are a viable option for patients who have a thin cornea, which may make refractive surgery impossible. Patients who suffer from dry eyes are also ideal candidates for ICLs. Implantable contact lenses can be removed and replaced if the patient’s prescription changes after several years.

Refractive surgery is also an excellent option for treating hyperopia. The refractive surgeries that are used to correct farsightedness are LASIK, LASEK, PRK, Conductive Keratoplasty, and Epi-LASIK. LASIK is the most successful and popular refractive surgery used to treat farsightedness. In this procedure, Dr. Boothe will create a corneal flap and then use an excimer laser to carefully reshape the corneal tissue behind it. Afterwards, the flap is repositioned in its original place. In LASEK, the epithelial cells of the cornea will be weakened with an alcohol solution in order to fold them back from the eye, in a similar manner as LASIK. The cornea is then reshaped with the help of a laser.

PRK, or photorefractive keratectomy, is a procedure in which a corneal flap is not created, but rather the epithelial cells of the cornea are removed completely using an alcohol solution. The recovery period for PRK is longer as the corneal flap is not present to cover the cornea during the healing process. In Conductive Keratoplasty, radiofrequency energy is used to shrink the cornea in order to change its shape. In the Epi-LASIK procedure, the corneal flap is created with a specialized surgical blade. Epi-LASIK is suitable for patients who have thin corneas. Dr. Boothe is experienced in performing all the above mentioned procedures.
