Dr Boothe Laser Center News

Imagine how you would feel if you were unable to do basic activities like read a newspaper, drive your car or simply see our beautiful world in detail. Many people are conflicted with these issues and seek laser eye correction. There are many different treatment options for vision correction offered at Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center. The most advanced and recommended laser eye surgery procedure for visual correction today is Lasik.

During a Lasik surgery, Dr. William Boothe uses a Excimer laser which remodels the tissue beneath, and then the corneal flap is repositioned to its place and left to heal. This is the standard for laser eye correction.

IntraLasik is another type of Lasik laser eye correction procedure. IntraLasik is the only technology available that uses an FDA-approved laser used for the creation of corneal flap. IntraLasik uses a computer-controlled IntraaLase FS laser to create this flap.

Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center offers the latest WaveFront Mapping technology. This 3D technique helps to map out the cornea. During a Lasik or IntraLasik procedure, Dr. Boothe can customize the correction area and tissue removal. Thanks to WaveFront Mapping technology, it is possible to avoid such post-operative issues as halos or glare.

Excimer Laser Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK) is intended for patients who have thin corneas and other eye issues which cannot be treated by Lasik. PRK does not involve the use of cutting laser, such as the one used in Lasik.

Here is a list of equipment that is used in our Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center:

- Intralase iFS Laser

- Allegretto Wavelight Eye-Q Excimer Laser System

- The VISX STAR S4 Excimer Laser System

Dr. William Boothe believes that a good surgeon should offer his patients the latest and most advanced high technological equipment.
