This Thanksgiving remember that a balanced diet can help keep you and your eyes healthy.

So choose Thanksgiving treats like carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and nuts that are rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A, C, and E, to protect your eyes from disease. Also, essential fatty acids found in fish, vegetable oils and leafy greens are good for your eyes as well.

Dr. Feldman and the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center wish you and your family a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Holiday.

At Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center, we offer the STAAR Visian and Verisyse Implantable Contact Lenses for our patients who are myopic (nearsighted).

The Implantable Contact Lens procedure is done as an outpatient surgery. The procedure is relatively quick and takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The STAAR Visian lens is surgically implanted behind the iris and in front of the natural lens. The Verisyse lens has the shape of a traditional contact lens, but is placed between the cornea and iris.

For more information on implantable contact lenses or to schedule a complimentary consultation, please contact us.

Laser vision correction procedures like LASIK and PRK are great options for patients that are tired of or frustrated with wearing glasses or contact lenses. However not all our patients At ClearView Eye and Laser Surgery Medical Center are good candidates for these types of procedures. Now, alternative vision correction procedures, like the implantable contact lens, are available.

An implantable contact lens resembles a traditional contact lens, but it is implanted in the eye during a quick surgical procedure. Depending on the type of lens, it can either be placed behind the iris or between the cornea and the iris. The lens works by correcting the way light is reflected onto the retina and can dramatically improve vision often to 20/20.

Vision correction procedures like LASIK, PRK and Implantable Contact Lenses have changed the lives of numerous people around the world. But which procedure is best for you?

At ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center, we start our consultation process by educating our patients about the many vision correction procedures available and the latest vision correction advancements.

Today’s technology has progressed greatly, even from just a few years ago. There are now vision correction options for patients with high levels of myopia (nearsightedness) and even astigmatism.

The first step to exploring which procedure is right for your eyes is to schedule a complimentary vision correction consultation by contacting the ClearView team.

At ClearView, we utilize the latest in vision correction technology, which includes the Wavefront-guided Excimer laser along with the VISX Advanced CustomVue with Iris Registration, IntraLase laser and the computer-mapping program called the WaveScan wavefront system

A WaveFront-guided Excimer laser is used during laser vision correction procedures like LASIK, iLASIK and PRK. This ultraviolet laser is used to contour the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea, for precise vision.

We hear a lot of questions at ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center about all-laser LASIK. Many patients ask what all-laser LASIK is and how it is done. All laser LASIK combines two lasers, the IntraLase laser and an Excimer laser, for a personalized and precise vision correction procedure.

After the patient has been properly prepped for surgery, the LASIK procedure begins with Dr. Sandy T. Feldman creating the corneal flap. With all-laser LASIK, the IntraLase laser is used instead of the semi-automated microkeratome with an oscillating blade, which is used in traditional LASIK procedures. The IntraLase laser produces a series of bubbles at a pre-determined, microscopic depth on the surface of the cornea. Dr. Feldman then gently separates the corneal tissue to create the corneal flap, which is folded back to expose the procedure area.

The procedure continues when the excimer laser is used to gently and precisely reshape the cornea for optimal vision. Once the laser treatment is completed, the corneal flap is folded back into place, where it acts as a natural bandage as the eye heals.
