Trephine - (truh-FEEN) A surgical tool with serrated edges, used to cut circular pieces. It’s used in a LASEK procedure instead of a microkeratome to cut the corneal flap.

Keratotomy - (keh-ruh-TAH-tuh-mee) Surgical incision of the cornea. This is done for a radial keratotomy (RK) procedure, treating nearsightedness by flattening the cornea slightly. Several tiny incisions are made around the periphery of the cornea, extending further inwards to the center in more severe cases of nearsightedness.

DR BOOTHE A. - EYE SURGERY: Low Vision - Visual impairment ; usually less than 20/200 which obstructs daily activities but cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

Macula - An extra-sensitive area roughly in the center of the retina, which enables us to see fine detail and do activities such as reading. The center of the macula is the fovea, which has no nerve cells or blood vessels to interfere with vision, and this makes it the most sensitive area of the macula. It’s also the part of the eye which enables us to distinguish colors.

DR WILLIAM BOOTHE - LASIK

Dry Eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep the eye wet and comfortable. Common symptoms of dry eye include feelings of stinging, burning, or scratchiness of the eyes.

Endothelium is the inner layer of cells on the inside surface of the cornea.

DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK DALLAS: ophthalmologist - A medical doctor who specializes in the eye. To become an Ophthalmologist one must first obtain a Medical Degree (M.D. in North America) and then complete further specialty training. A medical degree typically takes 7 or 8 years university training and a specialist certification an extra 3 years in the USA or 4 years in Canada. Specialist MD's are usually divided into "medical" and "surgical" disciplines and Ophthalmology is technically a "surgical" discipline. Some Ophthalmologists chose not to perform surgery and can be called "medical ophthalmologists".
optician - An expert in the art and science of making and fitting glasses. (I'll have to find out the training time.)

Myopia the inability to see distant objects clearly.

Nearsightedness is the common term for myopia.

Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and medical or surgical treatment of visual disorders and eye disease.

Dr William A. Boothe

Radial Keratotomy (RK) - (keh-ruh-TAH-tuh-mee) A surgical treatment for myopia. A myopic eye has a cornea which is too steep, refracting light rays too much, so they land in front of the retina, instead of on it, for clear vision. To make the cornea slightly flatter, tiny incisions are placed around the pupil, angled from the pupil out to the edge of the cornea. The number of incisions and their exact location depends on the degree of myopia.
