Dr Boothe LASIK

Dr. William Boothe’s patients are treated not only by one of the most experienced Lasik surgeon in the nation. He also uses up-to-date Lasik technologies to guarantee the best outcomes for his patients. Dr. Boothe’s main laser and tracking equipment are explained below.

The VISX WaveScan Wavefront System is used to capture and gauge unique imperfections of the patient’s eye. Dr. Boothe uses these measurements to determine refractive errors and irregularities that lead to decreased or fuzzy eyesight. The WaveScan system uses the information it gathers to create a detailed map of each patient’s eye with its unique characteristics.

The IFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser by IntraLase is a new technology that offers less interferences and more accurate results in comparison with utilizing a microkeratome for flap creation in refractive surgery. During a typical Lasik surgery, Dr. William Boothe uses a cool, computer-controlled laser to create a thinner and more precise flap. Thanks to the accuracy of this state-of-the-art technology, it has become possible to lower the risk of complications and hasten recovery.

The VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser is to remodel the cornea. Information about each patient’s eye is transferred from the WaveScan system to the VISX Star S4 laser to guarantee the excimer laser vaporizes specific abnormal portions of the inner tissue of the cornea. The laser has an excellent eye tracking system so that when the laser procedure is performed, even small or rapid involuntary eye movements can be simply tracked and corrected in real-time. The VISX Star S4 IR™ Excimer Laser is considered the most advanced breakthrough among the current FDA approved laser systems.

Dr. Boothe’s great experience and his advanced Lasik equipment, which satisfies all medical requirements, increases the precision of the Lasik surgery, thus decreasing any complications and enhancing patient vision outcomes.
