Dr. William Boothe Explains 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.

Dr. William Boothe’s Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Lasik

Lasik eye surgery is the most common form of refractive surgery performed. It is the process of restoring normal eyesight by removing the inner tissue of the cornea. In the next few paragraphs, Dr. William Boothe, the outstanding American eye surgeon from Plano, will acquaint you with his answers to some of the most popular questions patients ask him in his office.

Am I a good candidate?

Some people are sure that anyone can have this procedure done. But such thoughts are mistaken and not based in reality. There are several conditions that may disqualify you from undergoing the procedure. For example, some medications you are taking can interfere with the surgery, recovery after Lasik and can cause complications. Lasik is not suitable for all types of vision problems. If you are thinking of this vision correction surgery, firstly you should talk to Dr. William Boothe to determine whether this laser procedure is right for you.

Is it possible to operate both eyes at one time?

Yes, you can have your Lasik procedure performed on both eyes simultaneously. On the other hand, if PRK surgery is performed, it is better to wait a week or two between eyes for this type of surgery as it takes longer for clear, comfortable vision after this procedure.

Is it painful?

There is commonly no pain during surgery because anaesthetic drops are used by Dr. William Boothe to numb the eye. Some patients report little pain and only minor discomfort during healing period, but most report no pain at all.

How long does Lasik last?

The laser application itself lasts about thirty to ninety seconds. The whole procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes.

How soon can you drive after surgery?

Your eyesight will probably be a little fuzzy at first, so have someone drive you home right away after surgery. Patients generally see clearly enough to drive within 24 hours after the procedure.

When can you come back to work?

The patient can usually go back to work the day after the procedure, but Dr. William Boothe says that an extra day or two of rest will be more beneficial to your eyes.

Are there any side effects / complications that happen often?

Patients complaints often include dry eyes following laser vision correction, but this side effect usually disappears in the first weeks after surgery. Other people may see halos or rings around lights at night. This problem also fades over time. A very small number of patients (less than 1% in U.S. clinical studies) may experience worsening of their vision.

Is it expensive?

Compared to the long-term cost of eyeglasses, contact lens, and lens care over the course of 10 years, Lasik surgery pays for itself. The Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center in Dallas offers budget payment plans to accommodate almost any household situation.

Dr Willam Boothe - Urban myths about Lasik

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

There are many stories about complications after laser eye surgeries, such as eye injuries, impossibility to become pregnant, to look at the sun, to do sport etc. Dr. Boothe believes these are urban myths that are groundless and are not related to how Lasik is actually performed. The current methods of Lasik are very safe if the right approach is used. The treatment needs to be tailored to each patient’s eye condition, explains Boothe. Patients can return to ordinary active life within two or three days, or return to sports within one to two weeks. The Durability of the cornea is restored to normal condition in a couple of months.

It is also important to have a prophylactic laser treatment of dangerous retinal areas for nearsighted patient. The result of Lasik procedure is finally settled in three to six months and remains for life, in most cases.

Dr. William Boothe assures that ordinary ultraviolet radiation does not exert damaging influence on an operated eye: with the help of the Lasik technique, the surgeon preserves a corneal layer that serves as ultraviolet barrier. Thanks to the latest technologies it is possible to have the surgery at any time of the year.

Lasik surgery is aimed to restore patient’s vision in the best possible way. It is well known that the Boothe Laser Center, which is located in north of Dallas, offers state-of-the-art Lasik technology for over 10 years. Dr. William Boothe has already performed over 118,800 Lasik surgeries and over 71,900 IntraLasik procedures. At the center only high-level sanitary conditions are maintained and high-standard equipment is utilized. Dr. Boothe is committed to setting the standard for excellence in laser vision correction with a caring and friendly atmosphere.

Dr Boothe Video Games

I was browsing IGN today and found a post about video games and it’s effects on vision. It was very interesting because it had comments from dallas lasik surgeon, dr boothe, and brought up some interesting questions. With video games becoming more and more popular and the age range of gamers starting to really widen, the effects on video games on our eyesight is a valid concern. In my opinion, it should have similar effects to watching television, but the blog article on IGN linked to research done to show that video games acually helped your vision. I don’t mean by improving eyesight like lasik would do, but more in that it helped reaction times. The blogger goes on to talk about how dr boothe had recognized that this was a very logical and possible idea.
