Dr Boothe Dicusses Ways to Improve Your Vision

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

It is impossible to imagine our life without the ability to see. Thanks to our eyes, we can enjoy this world, its colors and details. They help us to obtain information from books and to watch our favorite TV programs. Considering that our eyes give us such an invaluable possibility of perceiving our surroundings , we should not forget to look after them carefully.

Once our vision worsen, we start noticing a growing level of discomfort while participating in daily activities and stop deriving full pleasure from the good things in life. Of course, you can effectively correct weak vision with the help of eye glasses, contact lenses or even laser surgery. But what if you do not want to choose any of these? Are there any other alternatives for vision improvement? Dr. William Boothe, one of the most experienced eye surgeons in the United States, suggests that there may be other ways to deal with deteriorating vision, at least temporarily. Here are a few advices for you to improve vision naturally, easily and without spending a cent on visual aids or laser eye correction.

First of all, Dr. Boothe suggests to find out exactly what are the causes of your eyesight deterioration. When you determine them, it is necessary to avoid these unfavorable factors. For example, if the monitor screen is the main cause of vision declining, it is better to use special monitor filter or protective computer glasses. If there is not enough light in your room, you should use extra illumination devices for proper amount of lightening. Another Dr. Boothe advice for enhancing your vision is to eat eye-healthy foods such as grains, vegetables and fruits. Most vision problems are caused by the lack of various vitamins, especially vitamin A, thus you can help yourself to see better by eating carrots, spinach and blueberries. Also please make sure that you drink enough water to keep your body hydrated.

If these solutions do not stop worsening eye conditions, consult an eye doctor or come in to Dr. Boothe office for a free evaluation of your situation and a detailed explanation of how a simple, cost-effective in-office procedure can solve these issues once and for all and restore your eyesight.

Lasik Surgery Pricing

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

It is commonly known that laser vision correction price varies much from doctor to doctor and area of the country. According to available data, traditional Lasik procedure price can range from $500 to $3,000 per eye. Dr. Boothe says that the cost of the procedure is determined by the level of vision correction required, the laser technology recommended for your individual prescription, and is set on a per-eye basis. The cost of prescriptions can also raise the overall prices of laser vision correction surgery.

The price of Lasik surgery always includes the purchase and maintenance of surgical, technical and office equipment. It also contains costs of regular surgical attire including gloves, caps, masks, gowns, and other disposable materials as well as medications such as anesthesia, eye drops and oral pain medications used before, during and after laser vision correction procedure. Furthermore, it is important for laser centers to run advertisements sometimes, thus it also greatly influences the price of procedure. Some centers may charge a per eye price for Lasik procedure and the price they charge may contain only the actual procedure, while another center may include both pre-op and post-op visits in the published price for each eye.

The cost of the laser vision correction may also be determined by the type of technology employed during the surgery. Actual Dr. Boothe’s example: IntraLasik surgery that utilizes a femtosecond laser instead of a mechanical microkeratome for corneal flap creation is usually from $250 to $500 more per eye than traditional Lasik procedure. In addition, use of the newest Wavefront Mapping equipment also leads to higher prices.

Boothe Eye Care Center in Texas is one of few centers in the nation to offer the latest and the most remarkable technologies, highly professional surgical and office staff, and at the same time it provides excellent financial options for each patient. You can even have your vision corrected for as low as $33 a month per eye! For a limited time Boothe EyeCare offers up to $2500 OFF some Lasik treatments.
