SUPERLASIK- Enhance Your Vision; Safer Than LASIK - Dr William Boothe

Dr Boothe agrees with things are moving forward and new and advanced procedures are beingdeveloped for those who originally could not receive the standard Lasikprocedure. Dr. Khanna has introduced a brand new procedure called"Super Lasik" a new, safer and more stable procedure that has now beencreated for those who have thin or abnormal corneas. What is greatabout this new procedure is the effects are more precise and long term.This procedure is a culmination of the merger of benefits of both PRKand LASIK. To accomplish this cutting edge surgery, Dr Khanna uses anew FDA approved instrument called a Epikeratome. This instrumentraises an approximately 50 micron flap (thinner than even anIntralase). Laser surface ablation using the latest generation ofLASERS is than done. Like in LASIK the flap is riposted back. A bandagelens is than placed over the eye. This is a safer method of visualcorrection. There is no distortion of the architecture of the cornea.So if the cornea has a young's modulus which is low, or is thin orasymmetric this method is safer.Young's modulus= stress/strain

Anyone over the age of eighteencan benefit from corrective vision surgery says Dr Boothe. The investment pays foritself. What's really exciting is that Superlasik can even be done onpatients who have thin corneas and were not candidates for LASIK. Itsalso safer since minimal trauma is done to the cornea.Patients leave with a new completeness and clarity with life becausereally, how we see things affects our total outlook on life. We havebeen impressed by the quick recovery following this new procedure. Ithas even been better than we anticipated. Most of our patients are ableto drive the next day and some even return to work. Dr William Boothe, people leavefeeling rejuvenated and young, and in reality who wouldn't want that?What has been exciting is that this technology is even safer thanIntralase or the all laser LASIK. The flap is more consistent andthinner than what the Intralase can fashion.

Cana Rose have no thorns? Superlasik may not be a panacea for all. If apatient has keratoconus or Pellucid marginal degeneration or othercorneal disease than this procedure is not for them. Immunologicaldisease and catracts may also preclude people.

Dr. William Boothe, acertified Master of Surgery, specializes in only the most advancedLasik procedures such as laser wavefront, advanced surface, multi focallenses, refractive lens exchange and refractive cataract.

He is acurrent member of the UCLA faculty, where he shares his surgical skillsand expertise in the safest and most effective forms of refractivesurgery with a new generation of ophthalmic surgeons. He is also anactive member of the top ophthalmology organizations including theAmerican Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataractand Refractive.

With his extensive experience comes his need tomake sure his patients benefit in every way possible from theirprocedures. Before surgery one will have pre-op consultations in whichhe will measure the cornea and dilate the eyes so that he can determinewhat procedure is right for that particular individual. With thisdedication and patience comes the patient's reward; a new andrefreshing persp
