Reis-Buckler’s Dystrophy - An inherited condition where a spontaneous erosion of the cornea impairs vision and causes increased light sensitivity and eye irritation. It involves the surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) and part of the stroma. It can appear anywhere from ages eight to twenty, and becomes more severe after about age forty. Also called Buckler’s Dystrophy and Buckler’s Syndrome.

As I was driving home last week, I noticed a little boy and his mother by the side of the road. They had stopped walking and the mother was adjusting a toy crossbow to fit more comfortably over the boy's shoulder. I realized that at that moment in the heart and mind of that small boy, he was not on a sidewalk by a busy road.
Perhaps he was hunting in a forest, or was an intrepid explorer of the unknown, ready to pull out his bow and arrows at the slightest hint of danger. In his imagination he was a hero, confident, skilled, and brave. He was alert, prepared, with the expectation of overcoming danger or threat with his skill and swift reflexes.

LASIK EYE - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE: AcrySof ReSTOR IOL The FDA-approved AcrySof ReSTOR is a breakthrough in intraocular lens technology for most people with cataracts, with or without Presbyopia, that may restore the eyesight of youth. The apodized diffractive optic design gives it the ability to focus light correctly on the retina for images at various distances without mechanical movement of the lens. More on AcrySof ReSTOR IOL
Crystalens Crystalens has the unique ability to focus on objects at varying distances using the eye's natural muscle. This means the crystalens can provide sharper vision, without corrective lenses, throughout a full range of vision from near to far and everything in between. More on Crystalens
Verisyse The Verisyse Phakic Intraocular Lens (IOL) implant is recommended for patients who do not qualify for LASIK due to severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, or cases where the cornea is too thin for LASIK. More on Verisyse
Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) The ViewPoint CK system provides a quick, safe, minimally invasive option for eye correction using radio frequency energy instead of a surgical cutting instrument to correct the patient with farsightedness.

Excimer laser - (EKS-ih-mur) An ultraviolet laser used in eye surgery and other surgeries. Its name comes from the terms excited and dimer, where excited refers to a molecule which has been stimulated, and is in an excited state, and dimer is the term for a molecule with two identical components. This all refers to the way the excimer laser is created. It’s made from argon and fluoride and gives off pulses of light with a wavelength of 193 nm.

Excimer lasers are “cool” lasers, meaning that they’re relatively cool, because all lasers give off some heat.

DR BOOTHE - EYE LASIK: Macular Edema - Pooling of fluid in and around the macular area of the retina, which causes swelling and impairs vision. It causes blurriness, waviness of straight lines, light sensitivity, and a pink tint to the vision. It usually happens as a result of disease or injury and sometimes after eye surgery. Most people recover from it in a matter of months.

Flying Spot - A method of applying the excimer laser light used in refractive surgery. A flying spot laser is used, which has a 1mm - 2mm diameter light beam. The computer that controls the laser is programmed to send pulses to changing spots on the cornea, with no spots overlapping. Part of the ophthalmic laser system is an eye tracker, which responds to all eye movement during surgery. So even if the eye moves while it’s being treated, the entire targeted area will be treated, because the treatment plan has determined where the laser should shine, in the series of flying spots that will cover it entirely, and the whole system moves to correspond with any eye movements during surgery.

Flying spot lasers can be used in both traditional LASIK procedures and those using wavefront technology.

Certain factors such as stress, exposure to sunlight, cigarette smoke and pollution and age can all affect the way our eyes and the area around it look. Heavy eye bags, wrinkles and loose or droopy skin around the eyes can be unsightly and may make you look older than your real age.
For these, the application of creams around the area may not simply work. Blurred vision due to conditions like astigmatism, near sightedness and far sightedness can be a burden to a lot of people too. Wearing eyeglasses or being highly dependent on contact lenses can be cumbersome. If you are serious about changing these problems, you might want to try laser cosmetic eye surgery.
A common problem is drooping eyelids. An option for this is blepharoplasty or eyelift. This is one of the most common cosmetic procedures done on the face. It can be done on the upper or lower eyelid, depending on where the patient needs it. Most commonly addressed problems involving the upper eyelids are droopiness and puffiness.
