NIDEK laser: This well-established technology allows the surgeon to create customized treatment zones which are matched to your individual prescription, pupil size, and corneal thickness to achieve excellent results. Dr. Rothman has over 10 years of experience utilizing this technology.
VISX laser: This well-established technology allows the surgeon to utilize either a standard treatment protocol or a wavefront treatment pattern to achieve excellent results in a wide range of prescriptions. Dr. Rothman has over 12 years of experience utilizing this technology.
Allegretto laser: This groundbreaking new technology maximizes visual outcomes and at the same time improves night vision by preserving the cornea’s natural prolate (curved) shape. We are Nevada’s first and most experienced Allegretto laser provider, and were the exclusive provider of this technology in Nevada for over three years. As a result, we have more experience with this technology that anyone in Nevada. Dr. Rothman is also a certified national trainer for this technology and has trained military surgeons across the country to provide this exciting technology to our soldiers.
I am 61 years am farsighted and have astigmatism. What can be done for this?
I went to a place in Reno about 4 years ago and was told I would still have to wear glasses and they could not do lasik. I had to come in and wear something around for several hours and then get eye surgery. I only want to come in iF I can get in in a few minutes like most people. Is that possible now?
