Laser is used to reshape the window of your eye (Cornea) to improve your distance vision. If the laser penetrates the outermost layer (Epithelium) of the Cornea it is called PRK. If the laser does not penetrate epithelium it is called LASIK. If you are age 21+ and qualify, this custom procedure will show you the light. For those who are not a candidate for Lasik or PRK, an Intraocular Lens can be safely implanted in the eye for better vision. When you start noticing that your arms are too short to read (Presbyopia), especially age 60+ CTK Laser may be the answer for you.
Also called DSEK is a safe way to restore vision to the window of the eye. Riblofavin cross-linking now strenghtens Keratoconus Corneas to help delay or prevent the need for a Classical Cornea Transplant. The Cornea was the first transplanted tissue of the body and is still the most successful.
In the last century Dr Kaplan was awarded a U.S. Patent for an Intraocular Lens Implant. However, in this new millenium, the Premium Multifocal Lens Implant can nearly simulate perfect vision. Ask us if you qualify for the best vision possible.
Can cause loss of central vision, and distortion, but it does not disturb peripheral vision. To regain vision, a combination of injections and or laser are very successful. Excellent blood sugar control will prevent loss of vision from Diabetes. However, if Diabetes is affecting the eyes, Laser and injections must be used to prevent blindness. Let us help you see your best.
Elevated Eye Pressure is called Glaucoma. Elevated Blood Pressure is called Hypertension. It is now known that these fluids in the body as well as the fluid pressure in the brain (CSF) all affect the health of the eyes. If any of these fluid pressures are too high for too long it can lead to blindness. Schedule an eye appointment and let us help you save your sight.
