BOOTHE DR BOOTHE A. - EYE SURGERY DR BOOTHE - EYE LASIK DR WILLIAM BOOTHE - DALLAS LASIK DALLAS LASIK - DR BOOTHE The cornea and natural lens of the eye focus light to create an image on the retina, much like the way the lens of a camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and focusing of light is also known as refraction. Imperfections in the focusing power of the eye, called refractive errors, cause images on the retina to be out of focus or blurredPeople that are nearsighted have more difficulty seeing distant objects than near objects. For these people, the images of distant objects come to focus in front of the retina instead of on the retinaIdeally, phakic lenses cause light entering the eye to be focused on the retina providing clear distance vision without the aid of glasses or contact lensesSurgery is not required to correct nearsightedness. You can wear glasses or contact lenses instead to correct your vision. Depending on how nearsighted you are, and other conditions of your eye, other refractive surgery (surgery to correct refractive errors) options may be available to you, including PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis)Phakic lenses are intended to be permanent. While the lenses can be surgically removed, return to your previous level of vision or condition of your eye cannot be guaranteedPhakic intraocular lenses are implanted in the eye without removing the natural lens. This is in contrast to intraocular lenses that are implanted into eyes after the eye’s cloudy natural lens (cataract) has been removed during cataract surgeryAccommodation the ability of the eye to increase its focusing power. As an object is viewed closer up, greater focusing power is needed to continue to see it clearly. Many people with diabetes have mild NPDR, which usually does not affect their vision. Vision is affected by problems with the macula, a small area in the center of the retina that allows us to see fine details clearly. The macula can either swell (edema) or have its blood supply cut off (ischemia).( DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK) DR. WILLIAM BOOTHE - LASIK DR. WILLIAM BOOTHE - EYE CENTER DR.

An increase in intraocular pressure can put pressure on the optic nerve, causing serious vision problems. The intraocular pressure is measured with a tonometer. LASIK EYE - DR BOOTHE DR BOOTHE A. DR WILLIAM BOOTHE DALLAS LASIK - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE DR WILLIAM BOOTHE - EYE SURGERY Corneal Refractive Therapy - A reshaping of the eye with contact lenses, also called Orthokeratology. These lenses are rigid and worn while you sleep, so they gently persuade the eye to change its shape by the time you wake in the morning. The effect lasts only a day or two, so you need to wear these lenses every night. It was approved by the FDA in June, 2002 and is a non-surgical way of temporarily creating the effect created permanently by LASIK surgery These aberrations include starbursts, ghosting, halos, double vision, and a number of other post-operative complications listed belowConcern has long plagued the tendency of refractive surgeries to induce higher-order aberration not correctable by traditional contacts or glasses. The advancement of LASIK technique and technologies has helped reduce the risk of clinically significant visual impairment after the surgery. One of the major discoveries was the correlation between pupil size and aberrations: Effectively, the larger the pupil size, the greater the risk of aberrations. This correlation is the result of the irregularity between the untouched part of the cornea and the reshaped part. Daytime post-lasik vision is optimal, since the pupil is smaller than the LASIK flap. But at night, the pupil may expand such that light passes through the edge of the LASIK flap into the pupil which gives rise to many aberrations. There are other currently unknown factors in addition to pupil size that also affect higher order aberrations.( LASIK DALLAS - DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE) DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - DALLAS Dr. William A.

BOOTHE - DALLAS LASIK Astigmatism is caused by an irregular shape of the cornea. In astigmatism, the cornea is shaped more like a football, an oval shape, than the normal round shape like a baseball. This irregular shape causes two images to be focused. A slight amount of astigmatism is normal in many people and does not require correction. Astigmatism is usually present since birth and generally worsens as we age. Ortho-K and CRT are both more costly at startup than normal contact lenses and eyeglasses. However after the initial correction retainer contacts to keep the cornea the same shape generally cost around $100 to $200 a pair. Typically cost will range from $900 to $1800 with two sets of lenses and fittings. Insurance usually does not fully cover these procedures because they are elective procedure however partial coverage maybe available if normal contact lenses are covered.( DALLAS LASIK - Dr William Boothe) DR.

Wavelength - The distance between the top of one wave and the top of the next. Used of light waves. Specific wavelengths equate to specific colors. The excimer laser used in LASIK procedures is 193 nm in wavelength, which is an ultraviolet light (beyond the violet area, and therefore invisible to our eyes).( DR. WILLIAM A.

The cornea and natural lens of the eye focus light to create an image on the retina, much like the way the lens of a camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and focusing of light is also known as refraction. Imperfections in the focusing power of the eye, called refractive errors, cause images on the retina to be out of focus or blurredPeople that are nearsighted have more difficulty seeing distant objects than near objects. For these people, the images of distant objects come to focus in front of the retina instead of on the retinaIdeally, phakic lenses cause light entering the eye to be focused on the retina providing clear distance vision without the aid of glasses or contact lensesSurgery is not required to correct nearsightedness. You can wear glasses or contact lenses instead to correct your vision. Depending on how nearsighted you are, and other conditions of your eye, other refractive surgery (surgery to correct refractive errors) options may be available to you, including PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) and LASIK (Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis)Phakic lenses are intended to be permanent. While the lenses can be surgically removed, return to your previous level of vision or condition of your eye cannot be guaranteedPhakic intraocular lenses are implanted in the eye without removing the natural lens. This is in contrast to intraocular lenses that are implanted into eyes after the eye’s cloudy natural lens (cataract) has been removed during cataract surgeryAccommodation the ability of the eye to increase its focusing power. As an object is viewed closer up, greater focusing power is needed to continue to see it clearly.

Many people with diabetes have mild NPDR, which usually does not affect their vision. Vision is affected by problems with the macula, a small area in the center of the retina that allows us to see fine details clearly. The macula can either swell (edema) or have its blood supply cut off (ischemia).( DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK)

Intraocular Pressure - The pressure within the eye is determined by how much aqueous fluid is created and drained inside the eye. An increase in intraocular pressure can put pressure on the optic nerve, causing serious vision problems. The intraocular pressure is measured with a tonometer.

Corneal Refractive Therapy - A reshaping of the eye with contact lenses, also called Orthokeratology. These lenses are rigid and worn while you sleep, so they gently persuade the eye to change its shape by the time you wake in the morning. The effect lasts only a day or two, so you need to wear these lenses every night. It was approved by the FDA in June, 2002 and is a non-surgical way of temporarily creating the effect created permanently by LASIK surgery

These aberrations include starbursts, ghosting, halos, double vision, and a number of other post-operative complications listed belowConcern has long plagued the tendency of refractive surgeries to induce higher-order aberration not correctable by traditional contacts or glasses. The advancement of LASIK technique and technologies has helped reduce the risk of clinically significant visual impairment after the surgery. One of the major discoveries was the correlation between pupil size and aberrations: Effectively, the larger the pupil size, the greater the risk of aberrations. This correlation is the result of the irregularity between the untouched part of the cornea and the reshaped part. Daytime post-lasik vision is optimal, since the pupil is smaller than the LASIK flap. But at night, the pupil may expand such that light passes through the edge of the LASIK flap into the pupil which gives rise to many aberrations. There are other currently unknown factors in addition to pupil size that also affect higher order aberrations.( LASIK DALLAS - DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE)
