Dr Boothe LASIK

Many people cannot even imagine their life without glasses or contact lenses. Wearing these instruments, for people who use them daily, is not just a habit. These commonly known devices are used for correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, and thus become a way of the users’ lives. Fortunately, we live in times when it is possible to put away eye glasses and contact lenses forever thanks to the superb Lasik technology. This article introduces you to things you need to do before the surgery.

At first, Dr. Boothe will examine the surface of your eyes with Wavefront mapping system. This device is used to measure the contour of the cornea, to determine the shape of the cornea and to map out the eye. It will help the surgeon to determine the degree of any refractive error and how much cornea tissue has to be removed for the best outcomes. All the information is very valuable for the ophthalmologist in performing the Lasik surgery. Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center offers the latest Wavefront mapping systems such as The VISX WaveScan and Alcon’s LADARWave.

Before the Lasik surgery, Dr. William Boothe suggests you to stop wearing lenses for a while. The reason is that low-oxygen permeable contact lenses worsen the ability of the corneal surface to absorb oxygen adequately and may cause the inflammation of the eye, and thus your eyes will need more time to heal.

The Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center in Plano, Texas, offers only the most advanced technologies and the latest equipment. A professional staff of ophthalmologists offers free screening to determine what type of surgery is suitable to get the best eyesight for you. Dr. William Boothe is one of the busiest surgeons in the United States, having performed over 116,900 Lasik and around 69,900 IntraLasik corrections. For more information visit BootheLaserCenter.com
