Make Your Own Statement - " I'm Worth It! "

Doctors have been routinely treating refractive vision errors with incisions for over 25 years. In the early 1980's researchers found that IBM's new Excimer laser (used initially for etching computer chips) had medical applications as well. Today's technologically advanced Excimer laser is now in its 2nd decade of use for treating nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. LASIK is the most advanced vision correction procedure available today. To date, medical doctors around the world have performed over 5 million procedures. Dr. Miller’s own statistics show that 100% of his patients achieve "driving vision" or better without glasses.

It's "cool" or non-thermal light beam corrects vision by reshaping the cornea (outer window of the eye) so that light rays focus more precisely on the retina, thereby eliminating or reducing refractive errors and the need for glasses or contacts. Ever since their introduction in ophthalmology, lasers have been effective tools for correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism. As laser technology has improved, a variety of laser vision correction techniques have been developed that are safe and accurate.

Today's most advanced laser vision correction procedure has raised this technology to new levels. The newest laser vision correction procedure reshapes the cornea to more accurately focus light onto the back of the eye. While the laser works on the cornea, it also protects the integrity of this tissue, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye. The technique does not require any sutures, and the healing process begins immediately after the procedure.

Here are a few facts about Laser Vision Correction:

•	Laser Vision Correction is a procedure that uses a beam of cool light to reshape the top layer of the cornea, so that images focus correctly on the retina.
•	Laser Vision Correction is entirely different from Radial Keratotomy; RK is a surgical procedure that involves a series of freehand incisions on the cornea.
•	Laser Vision Correction has been performed worldwide on over 5 million eyes since 1987.
•	The FDA approved Laser Vision Correction in the United States in November 1995.
•	Laser Vision Correction procedures require the patient to spend less than one hour at the laser center.
•	Laser Vision Correction is affordable for everyone through our patient financing program.
