LASIK Eye Surgeon Resources

San Francisco, Oakland & San Jose, California

Corneal transplants are by far the most common and successful transplant surgery done today. Ophthalmologists perform over 40,000 corneal transplants each year in the United States. If the cornea is damaged it may become swollen or scarred. In either case, its smoothness and clarity may be lost. The scars, swelling or an irregular shape cause the cornea to scatter or distort light, resulting in glare or blurred vision. Gailey Eye Clinic offers corneal transplant surgeries to patients in the Bloomington, Indiana area and surrounding communities.

Bladeless Intralase LASIK completely eliminates the use of any surgical blade in the LASIK procedure. The most severe surgical flap complications are related to problems with flap creation using a surgical blade. Reports in medical literature document increased safety using the bladeless Intralase technique and Nashville LASIK surgeon Dr. Wang feels this method is superior to previous blade technology.

Implantable Contact Lenses (ICLs), can help improve vision and are a great solution when refractive procedures such as LASIK are not suitable. ICLs are designed to correct especially high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, allowing patients the freedom of clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. Similar to removable lenses, ICLs are surgically implanted into the eye for permanent correction and convenience. Northwestern Vision Correction Associates offer implantable contact lenses to residents of Chicago, Illinois and surrounding communities.

Monovision is used to provide patients of "reading glasses age" (presbyopic) with good functional distance and near vision without being dependent on glasses for either distance or near vision. This technique is used for patients over 40 who require better unaided near vision. Some patients who use contact lenses to achieve monovision come to the 20/20 Institute in Denver, Colorado and Indianapolis, Indiana seeking monovision through LASIK. LASIK can provide monovision for patients of the appropriate age.

Wavefront technology allows me to customize your LASIK treatment specifically for your eyes. Although millions of eyes may have the same refraction (glasses prescription), no two eyes will have the same wavefront pattern. Your unique wavefront pattern is programmed into the VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser, allowing customized LASIK treatment specific to your eye, increasing the precision and accuracy of LASIK. Denver LASIK surgeon Dr. Richard Levinson, MD has been providing vision correction to residents of Denver for over 20 years.
