Question: I had the cataract removed from my right eye and have 20/20 vision in the right eye. My left eye does not have a cataract but has astigmatism requiring -4 prescription. Does it make sense to consider removing the lens in my left eye to achieve 20/20 vision in both eyes.

Answer: While you state that you do not have a Cataract in your left eye, depending on your age you may develop one in the foreseeable future as the presence of Cataracts is quite common as we age. As your right eye Cataract Surgery and lens implant was so successful as to provide you with 20/20 vision, it is unfortunate that unless you do something to the astigmatism in the left eye you will need to wear eyeglasses to see clearly with that eye. It would certainly be convenient and hassle free not to be dependent on glasses for seeing at distance. There are really two options that you might wish to consider to be independent of glasses for seeing at a distance.  read more »

LASIK Eye Surgery

January 27, 2012 – 10:26 pm

There are actually several types of LASIK eye surgery. Traditional LASIK procedures, though a great option, are lagging behind some of the technological strides being made in what is now called advanced, premium, or customized LASIK.

In traditional, non-customized LASIK procedures, your surgeon works solely off of a vision prescription to perform your procedure, which treats your eyes the exact same as countless other eyes with similar vision problems. But in customized LASIK, like OptiLASIK® Laser Vision Correction, new techniques and devices allow surgeons to map the specifics of your eyes for the best results possible.

OptiLASIK® Laser Vision Correction utilizes the advanced diagnostic technology of the WaveLight®Analyzer, actually creating a “map” of your eyes for your own personal vision profile, capturing the one-of-a-kind quirks and characteristics that make your eyes special. By using the map as a guide, your surgeon can better personalize your LASIK procedure.

Your eyes are special; they deserve special attention. Why treat them to the exact same procedure that everyone else gets when you can customize your procedure? read more »
