| LASIK
(not lasix which is a medication).....A procedure performed by a
surgeon that reduces or eliminates refractive errors including myopia
(nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Those who have reached their mid-forties have another refractive
error called presbyopia which LASIK cannot correct although a method
of correction called monovision might be a solution. Many people
that wear contacts already use the monovision method to avoid or
reduce their dependency on reading glasses.
We at Peak Family Eye Care believe that LASIK can be an excellent alternative to glasses and contacts. Dr. Jordan welcomes anyone interested to make an appointment to discuss the benefits and risks of having LASIK. A comprehensive eye exam will be needed and a referral to a surgeon specializing in LASIK will determine if the procedure is appropriate. A new form of LASIK called wavefront has recently been approved for moderate to high amounts of myopia and astigmatism. This new method of correcting vision helps reduce certain abberations that are found in the optics of our eyes. Some patients may benefit more than others from wavefront. Wavefront technology has been used for years in other areas of science before it's incorporation into LASIK. Our office refers patients to Colorado Laser Surgeons located in the Cherry Creek area. They are associated with Omni Eye Specialists which manages eye diseases for our office as well. You may not find a more compassionate staff or highly trained doctors that use the most advanced equipment in their facility than CLS. They do not need to advertise their professional abilities because they do only see patients on a referral basis. |
