PRK or Advanced Surface Ablation, another Laser Vision Correction Option in San Diego

Advanced Surface Ablation, also called PRK or photorefractive keratectomy, is another laser vision correction option at ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center. Like LASIK, ASA delivers clear, crisp vision especially when paired with custom procedures.

During the ASA procedure, a laser is used to carefully reshape the cornea directly on the surface of the eye. This differs from the LASIK procedure where a corneal flap is created prior to the laser treatment. ASA is often recommended for patients who have corneas that are too thin for LASIK.

For more information or to schedule a complimentary laser vision correction evaluation, contact us.

Give Your Eyes a Gift for the Holidays, a Healthy Diet

Some ten million Americans are diagnosed with Age-Related Macular Degeneration annually. The eye disease continues to be one of the leading causes of vision loss for people 65 and older in the US. As researchers continue to search for the cure for macular degeneration, they have found that what we eat can help keep our eyes healthy, slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration or even reduce the risk of having this serious eye condition.

Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, such as Vitamins A, C, and E, and essential fatty acids, which can be found in fish, nuts and leafy greens, can protect help to protect our eyes from disease, according to Dr. Sandy T. Feldman. So this holiday, try a serving of sweet-potato and carrot soup or one of the other special, eye-healthy recipes found here.

iLASIK Revolutionizes LASIK in La Jolla

iLASIK, also known as the all laser method of LASIK vision correction, is a revolution in LASIK surgery. Representing a decade’s worth of technological advancements, the laser vision correction procedure is safer and more precise than ever before.

The iLASIK procedure begins with a thorough examination by the ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team. Using the WaveScan wavefront system, a 3-D blueprint of the patient’s visual imperfections is made and transferred to the Excimer laser.

Two lasers are used to customize the patient’s treatment during the LASIK procedure. The IntraLase laser is used to create the corneal flap. The VISX Excimer laser is then used to gently reshape the cornea for precise vision.

With iLASIK, no two people get the same treatment and almost all patients achieve 20/20 vision, studies have shown that 98% have 20/20 vision or better in low to moderately nearsighted individuals with or without astigmatism.

LASIK in La Jolla and all over San Diego just got better. To find out more about iLASIK or to schedule a complimentary vision correction evaluation, contact us.

WaveFront-Guided LASIK for your Personalized Prescription in Mission Valley

LASIK surgery is the one of the most common elective surgery performed today. The laser vision correction procedure allows many patients with myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism a way to eliminate their need to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Wavefront-Guided LASIK, also known as Custom LASIK, further enhances the laser vision correction procedure by combining the WaveScan wavefront system with the LASIK procedure.

During the WaveScan procedure, the patient’s eyes are measured and evaluated. A 3-D computer map of the eye is generated that outlines the individual characteristics of the patient’s eyes. The WaveScan information is transferred to the laser, allowing Dr. Sandy T. Feldman to precisely correct the patient’s vision based on his or her own unique prescription.

Dr. Feldman has treated thousands of patients in Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Mission Valley and throughout San Diego County. To find out if LASIK is right for you, contact the Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center for a complimentary consultation.

With 2009 quickly coming to an end, it is important not to forget to spend your Flex Plan dollars. The ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center team can help determine if your flexible spending account can be used for LASIK, PRK or other vision correction procedures.

A Flexible Spending Account allows you to set aside a portion of your salary before taxes and use this account to pay for medical expenses not covered by insurance. When you pay for your medical expenses, your plan reimburses you. It is important to note that whatever funds are left in the account at the end of the year are forfeited.
