Laser Vision
Correction
The most
common procedure currently being
performed is a procedure called
LASIX. It is popular because
it allows the eye to heal quickly
and there is very little pain
afterwards.
Vision Conditions
It alters the shape or contour of your eye
to correct for nearsightedness, astigmatism,
and certain powers of farsightedness. It
currently does not correct for presbyopia
(commonly referred to as the bifocal stage).
Sometimes these patients can tolerate monovision.
This is where one eye is fully corrected
for distance but the fellow eye is left slightly
nearsighted to help with reading. If the
patient is presbyopic and can’t tolerate
monovision they will require reading glasses.
A lot of research is directed toward this
problem so this could change in the near
future.
If you are interested in this procedure
please let my staff know and we will be happy
to discuss this with you.
I am credentialed by the leading laser centers in Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati
and Columbus to perform your pre-op and post-op management.
My
job is tracking the outcomes of the different centers within a 200 mile
radius of Greenup County. I do this to make certain you will
have a positive experience. Experience does
matter and the quality of the staff and equipment
has a major impact on your outcome. You only
have one set of eyes that has to last you
a lifetime. Caution should be given to the
so called “discount surgery centers”.
Not everyone is a candidate. I only refer
to the centers that will say no if you are
not an appropriate candidate. This is based
on your pupil size and corneal thickness.
Those who have had the procedure and were
not appropriate candidates suffer from a
lifetime of annoying glare and halos.
I am very proud to be a TLC affiliate.
TLC is a corporation that is the largest
provider of refractive surgery in the country.
They specialize in refractive surgery and
the offer a life time enhancement policy.
Other privately held centers offer the same
warranty but once the owner retires your
warranty is void. TLC has centers all across
the United States in case you move to a different
part of the country. They have performed
LASIX on Tiger Woods and numerous other celebrities.
