Boothe Eye Care

If you have already had Lasik vision correction, but you are not satisfied with the results, you probably need to consider revision laser eye surgery for achieving better results. Such a situation may occur if your vision is undercorrected or overcorrected following the initial Lasik procedure and if there are some complications happened during or after surgery.

According to worldwide statistics, over 95 percent of the 16 million patients treated using laser vision correction surgery are happy with their new vision. It is really true that Lasik allows to achieve great results in most cases, but any good refractive surgeon will tell you that it is not always possible to obtain 20/20 vision in only one procedure.

Dr. William Boothe says that each patient has a unique combination of various features and factors, which play an essential role in getting the best result.

Dr. William Boothe explains that the AquaLase handpiece is a tool used in cataract removal surgeries. When such procedure is done, after the cornea is removed, the natural lens of the patients needs to be polished and the cataract growth removed. AquaLase uses pulses of warm fluid to break up the nucleus and is considered an advanced alternative to ultrasound devices that are more common in practices. Performing the surgery using this tool, exlains Dr. Boothe, may be able to provide safe and effective way tp polish corneas.

Usually during the postoperative period after these type of surgeries, for about four or six weeks, Dr. Boothe of Boothe Laser Center recommend using NSAIDs to avoid the risk of cystoid macular edema (CME). Also postoperatively he suggests to perform a optical coherence tomography that is very important in the detection of CME.

Dr. William Boothe effectively uses various procedures to improve vision for different type of eye conditions. Common ophthalmology options include Lasik, IntraLasik, Epi-Lasik, corneal implants and refractive lens transplant, each with their own advantages.
