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.

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.

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)

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)

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)

This can be disorientingCurrently manufactured excimer lasers use an eye tracking system that follows the patient’s eye position up to 4,000 times per second, redirecting laser pulses for precise placement within the treatment zone. Typical pulses are around 1 mJ of pulse energy in 10 to 20 nanosecondsAfter the laser has reshaped the stromal layer, the LASIK flap is carefully repositioned over the treatment area by the surgeon, and checked for the presence of air bubbles, debris, and proper fit on the eye. The flap remains in position by natural adhesion until healing is completedPatients are usually given a course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops. These are continued in the weeks following surgery.

Microkeratome - (My-krow-KEH-ruh-tome) A surgical instrument used to create a corneal flap during LASIK and some other refractive surgeries. There are two types: mechanical and laser. The mechanical microkeratome uses an extremely sharp and precise metal blade. The femtosecond laser microkeratome uses the laser beam to create microscopically tiny bubbles at a specific depth in the cornea. When thousands of such bubbles are placed next to each other, it creates an incision. A femtosecond is one millionth of a nanosecond, which is one billionth of a second.

BOOTHE A. - EYE SURGERY => Wavefront technology is major advance in LASIK laser eye surgery, especially for people who have complicated prescriptions. It may sound a bit funny, but your eyes are like your feet. Shoes usually just come in sizes that measure how long the feet are. With normal LASIK surgery, vision correction is measured by the visual acuity of a person, 20/20, 20/40, 20/100 and how it is altered by the refraction of their eye. This method corrects how much a person can see but not the details of everything else. Imagine if shoes were made exactly for your feet by measuring how wide, how long, comfort level, arch, and so on. The result would be a great pair of shoes that fit perfectly. Wavefront technology does this for the eyes by measuring the whole eye and providing a three-dimensional corneal map. All abnormalities and irregularities, called optical aberrations, from front to back are present in this map and allow the eye surgeon to correct your vision to a “perfect fit". This allows correction for not only nearsightedness or farsightedness and astigmatism and its impact on visual acuity, but also for other aberrations that can affect contrast sensitivity, night vision, depth perception, and light sensitivity. By correcting all these factors, each individual’s vision can be improved dramatically by correcting for the individual’s specific problems.

With normal LASIK surgery, vision correction is measured by the visual acuity of a person, 20/20, 20/40, 20/100 and how it is altered by the refraction of their eye. This method corrects how much a person can see but not the details of everything else. Imagine if shoes were made exactly for your feet by measuring how wide, how long, comfort level, arch, and so on. The result would be a great pair of shoes that fit perfectly. Wavefront technology does this for the eyes by measuring the whole eye and providing a three-dimensional corneal map. All abnormalities and irregularities, called optical aberrations, from front to back are present in this map and allow the eye surgeon to correct your vision to a “perfect fit". This allows correction for not only nearsightedness or farsightedness and astigmatism and its impact on visual acuity, but also for other aberrations that can affect contrast sensitivity, night vision, depth perception, and light sensitivity. By correcting all these factors, each individual’s vision can be improved dramatically by correcting for the individual’s specific problems.

Hyperosmotics: Hyperosmotics are used to treat corneal swelling. Hyperosmotics draw water out of the cornea and thus reduce corneal swelling. Most OTC hyperosmotics contain sodium chloride in various concentrations as either a solution or an ointment. The 2% solution tends to cause less stinging and burning than the 5% solution. An example of a hyperosmotic for corneal swelling is Adsorbonac.

Dry (non-neovascular) – where new blood vessels do not grow, so that this is a less severe form of the disease; however, it sometimes progresses into the Wet form( DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK DALLAS)

DR BOOTHE - LASIK DALLAS => Toric Contact Lenses - Contact lenses designed to correct both myopia or hyperopia and astigmatism. They contain two curvatures at different angles and are effective for astigmatism only if they don’t rotate on the eye. Therefore they have a mechanism which keeps them stable. They can be soft or hard.

Inflammation - the body’s reaction to trauma, infection, or a foreign substance, often associated with pain, heat, redness, swelling, and/or loss of function.

LASIK DALLAS - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE => Retina a thin layer of sensory tissue that lines the inside wall of the back part of the eyeball. The retina acts like the film in a camera to capture images created by the focusing power of the cornea and the lens and transform them into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve.
