(Vocus/PRWEB ) July 10, 2009 -- Dr. Carlos Diaz is the administrator of Diaz Vision Center, a Boerne and San Antonio-area LASIK eye surgery and eyes affliction practice. LASIK, or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, has helped abounding individuals the apple over annihilate their assurance on glasses and acquaintance lenses and accomplish 20/20 eyes or better, and the action is a accepted one. However, some accept afresh questioned the assurance and capability of LASIK, and an FDA console audacious the charge to added active consumers of the achievability of poor beheld outcomes, dry eye, and added complications afterwards LASIK surgery. Dr. Diaz says this is why it’s important for patients because LASIK, as with any surgical procedure, to do their own analysis and abode their apropos with their doctor. “Some conditions, which may exclude anyone from accepting LASIK, are dry eyes, back the anaplasty can accomplish the affection worse. Also, patients with attenuate corneas may not be a applicant back the action thins the cornea further, and may could cause alternation of the cornea. Some patients may aswell accept halos or blaze afterwards LASIK if their pupils are beyond than the analysis zones. These altitude and others should be buried for during a LASIK evaluation.”
LASIK uses laser activity to adapt the cornea and advance the eye’s adeptness to focus. It’s about performed on patients who ambition to actual accepted refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Diaz says patients who are because the anaplasty to accomplish bigger eyes after the aid of antidotal eyewear are anxiously buried and evaluated afore the action to actuate if they are candidates, and for those who are not, he discusses alternatives that they may authorize for, such as PRK anaplasty or added eyes affliction options.
For LASIK procedures, Dr. Diaz says he uses alone the a lot of advanced lasers, such as Ziemer and Allegretto, and takes every anticipation for assurance during the procedure, with a above focus on preventing any complications that may appear during recovery. He says abstruse advances back the actualization of LASIK in the aboriginal 1990’s has appear a continued way. “The assurance of the action has bigger as the technology improves and we accretion added knowledge. An archetype is the conception of the accessory was ahead done with a casting but now can be done with a laser.” That accurate adjustment is accepted as one of the safest LASIK techniques available, application a 100% blade-free access to creating the corneal accessory to accommodate the a lot of absolute and accurate action possible.
Although LASIK a ample allotment of Dr. Diaz’ Boerne and San Antonio laser eyes correction practice, he offers ophthalmology casework to actual a amount of altitude that can advice humans who are not LASIK candidates, or those who charge added types of eyes care. For example, those who are candidates for IOLs in San Antonio and Boerne, Texas can accretion abundant bigger apparition even if they accept suffered from altitude such as presbyopia, cataracts, and eye injury. IOLs are beat intraocular lens implants that act as replacements for the eye’s accustomed apparent lens. The artificial lenses are permanent, and can action cogent eyes advance afterwards avalanche surgery, or for patients who ache from amaurosis and do not ambition to abrasion account glasses to acutely see altar and book at abutting distances. Dr. Diaz says because such a advanced ambit of humans authorize as candidates for IOLs, the action is now one of the a lot of accepted in America.
Dr. Diaz says, overall, whatever action patients are considering, the a lot of important affair is to abode all of their questions with their surgeon, and be absolutely honest about their medical histories and apropos they may have. Many eye altitude are treatable, and those who are not candidates for one action can acceptable account from an addition advantage that can crop agnate results.
