Laser VisionLaser Vision Correction is the most technologically advanced method available today for reducing your dependence on glasses and contact lenses. This outpatient procedure can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism by gently reshaping the front surface of your eye with a cool, ultraviolet beam of laser light. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted Intrastromal Keratomileusis. In this procedure, a microkeratome first creates a thin cap of corneal tissue. The cap is folded back and the laser gently shapes the cornea, altering the shape of the eye. The corneal cap is then returned to the original position adhering quickly without stitches. Since only the edge aroung the corneal flap needs to heal, visual recovery is rapid and patients report little or no discomfort. LASIK treats low to very high levels of refractive errors. Experience has shown us that vision correction using the excimer laser has been overwhelmingly successful in reducing myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. While vision improves following the procedure, the degree of improvement may vary from individual to individual. Overall, 98% of patients achieve 20/40 vision or better after one procedure (i.e. before any enhancements), which means they can drive legally and play sports without their glasses. It only takes seconds to correct your vision. Every person's situation is unique. To see if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery and receive a FREE LASIK consultation, call us at 713-771-2020. |

The first non-surgical solution designed to address both lower and higher order aberrations of the eye. Wavefront technology is used to measure and map the optical fingerprint of the eye, or iPrint™. The customized iZon Lens is based on the iPrint and addresses the vision problems associated with the higher order aberrations (2nd-6th) of the eye. |

The FDT performs a fast computerized visual fields screening that lasts less than a minute. It uses a new concept of frequency-doubling technology to screen for any side vision defects. The FDT is offered to every patient at no additional cost |

The Atlas Topographer provides a 3-D map of the cornea to rule out any distortion or irregularities that can be due to a disease process such as keratoconus or from contact lens over wear. In such cases, the topographer allows us to design specialty contact lenses that fit the shape of the irregular cornea. |

This state of the art laser scanner provides a map of the nerve fiber layer thickness around the optic nerve head for the early detection of glaucoma, as well as a histological like map of the retina and the macula for the detection and evaluation of retinal and macular diseases including macular degeneration, macular holes, epiretinal membranes and cysts. |
|
This camera allows us to take a digital picture of a certain area of the retina such as the macula or the optic nerve. Dilation is not required to obtain images. |

The Nidek Edger provides fully automated lens edging and finishing. The result is a perfect fitting lens in a frame with a remarkable finish. |

The Video Imaging Biomicroscopy allows us to video record an examination of the eye and its various tissues that we can play back to the patient. |
