Q) What does 20/20 vision mean?
A) 20/20 vision is what is considered good vision. With 20/20 vision, glasses or contact lenses are not needed. If the lower number is larger than 20, it means that the vision is worse.

Q) I’m 48 and my doctor tells me I have presbyopia. Do I have vision correction options or will I be stuck with reading glasses for the rest of my life?
A) For individuals over 40 and having reading difficulties, you have a few vision correction options. If you are interested in LASIK, blended vision may be the best option to enable you to see both distance and read. For other individuals, implantable lenses similar to bifocals, can be inserted into the eye. The best way to determine which procedure is right for you, is to seek the care of an eye doctor specializing in these procedures.

ICL’s or implantable contact/collamer lenses are generally recommended for patients that have a high prescription, very dry eyes, or less than average thickness corneas. ICL’s can treat a wide range of myopia or nearsightedness. The procedure allows patients who don’t qualify for laser vision correction to effectively treat their eyesight. Take a look at our ICL testimonials to see what patients say about Dr. Sandy T. Feldman and their experience.
