Words about our Privacy Policy
DIFFERENT REFRACTIVE ERRORS
1. What is nearsightedness?
 Over 60 million Americans suffer from
nearsightedness, or myopia. A person is considered nearsighted when the
eye has too much focusing power. This occurs when the eye is either too
long or the cornea is too steep to allow light to focus directly on the
retina (the film of the eye). Instead, light focuses in front of the
retina causing distant images to appear blurry. A minus power lens in
the form of eyeglasses or contact lens is needed to subtract focusing
power from the eye.
2.What is hyperopia?

Hyperopia is a condition where light rays entering the eye are focused
behind the retina instead of directly on it, as in the normal eye. It
may be present in childhood but does not usually become apparent until
people are in their late 20s or 30s when they can no longer see up close.
When these patients get into their 40s or 50s, they begin having difficulty
seeing distant objects as well.
3. What is astigmatism?

Astigmatism is a condition that occurs when the cornea or lens is steeper
in one axis than another, similar to a football or the back of a spoon
instead of completely spherical or round like a basketball. Light entering
the cornea focuses on more than one point within the eye resulting in
blurring vision. Astigmatism is either regular when steep and flat axes
are 90 degrees apart or irregular when they are not separated by 90
degrees.
4. What is presbyopia?
Literally "old vision", it represents a natural aging process
of the eye. It starts to affect most people around the age of 40. Normally,
when a close object is viewed, the lens will change shape or "accommodate"
to focus light on the retina. With Presbyopia, the lens can not sufficiently
reshape and glasses are required for close viewing. If someone has laser
vision correction for nearsightedness and is already presbyopic (40+
years of age), they will then need correction for reading. These are
typically just the store bought magnifying glasses.
5. What is a diopter?
A diopter is a unit of measurement that determines your prescription.
A minus sign in front of the number means you are nearsighted, a plus
sign means you are farsighted.
6. How can these visual problems be corrected?
They can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery.
7. Are there other non-surgical means of improving
vision?
A procedure called orthokeratology has been available for many years.
In it, a series of progressively flatter gas permeable hard contact
lenses are used to flatten the cornea. When the cornea has reached its
desired correction, a retainer contact must be worn for several hours
per day to prevent the cornea from returning to its original shape.
Therefore, it does not cause a permanent correction.
HISTORY OF REFRACTIVE SURGERY
8. What is refractive surgery?
These are a group of surgical procedures that have been designed to
permanently reduce or eliminate the need for corrective eyewear to see
distant objects. They include laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis
(LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), radial keratotomy and astigmatic
keratotomy (RK/AK), Laser Thermal Keratoplasty ( LTK), Conductive Keratoplasty
(CK) to name a few. These procedures offer an alternative to glasses
or contact lenses. These procedures can only improve vision if it can
be improved with glasses or contact lenses.
9. What is laser vision correction (LVC)?
These are refractive procedures performed with an excimer laser. The
excimer generates ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength (193 nanometers)
by sending high-voltage electrical energy through a cavity containing
Argon Fluoride gas. The beam that is emitted has enough energy to break
the bonds between the molecules that make up the tissue on your eye's
surface (the cornea). Because it is a photochemical and not a heating
process, it allows the surgeon to sculpt very precise amounts of corneal
tissue from above without any damaging to neighboring/adjacent tissue.
10. What is the history of the excimer laser?
The excimer laser was developed at IBM in 1976, and was used to etch
computer microchips. Its extreme precision with negligible damage to
adjacent tissue made it a very attractive tool for other applications,
and in 1983, Stephen L. Trokel, M.D., in cooperation with R. Srinivasan,
a physicist, applied it to corneal tissue in a New York laboratory.
The first sighted eye was treated with the excimer laser at LSU on January
14, 1987. Between 1987 and 1995 numerous laser manufacturers, including
VISX and Summit Technology, worked toward U.S. approval to use the Argon
Fluoride excimer laser.
11. What procedures are performed with the excimer
laser?
LASIK, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, and PRK, or Photorefractive
Keratectomy.
REFRACTIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURES AND HOW DO THEY WORK
12. How do LASIK and PRK work?
In both procedures, a specially trained ophthalmologist uses the computer-guided
excimer to gently remove a thin layer of tissue from the cornea to achieve
a desired correction. Prior to the procedures, drops are placed in the
eye to numb it (like the ones your eye doctor uses to check your eye
pressure for a glaucoma test) and an instrument called a speculum is
placed in the eye to prevent you from blinking. There are no needles
and no pain.
In PRK, the surgeon first removes the surface cells of the cornea using
the laser and then sculpts the underlying tissue. The surface cells
regenerate over the course of 48 to 72 hours under a bandage contact
lens. In LASIK, an instrument called a microkeratome, is used to lift
a thin layer of the corneal tissue. This is left attached on a hinge.
The laser is then used to sculpt tissue from the corneal bed and the
flap is floated back into place, reattaching without the need for sutures.
During the LASIK procedure there is no pain, however there is about
10 seconds of firm pressure while the corneal flap is being created.
Following the procedure, patients are usually more comfortable than
patients undergoing PRK, experiencing only four to six hours of scratchiness
in the eye.
13. How long do these procedures actually take?
Most patients are in the laser suite for no longer than 10 minutes.
The actual laser treatment time takes just 15-90 seconds, depending
on the degree of correction required. Total time at the center on the
day of the procedure will be about 2-3 hours.
14. Why has LASIK become the procedure of choice
for most patients and surgeons?
Because the healing occurs in the interior of the cornea, and no regrowth
of surface cells are required. The corneal flap protects the treated
area and there is usually little, if any, post-op discomfort. Visual
rehabilitation is much quicker and regulation of the healing process
with long term post-op drops is unnecessary since the center of the
cornea tends to have much less of a healing reaction than the surface.
15. How is astigmatism corrected?
One method employed by the VISX Star excimer laser introduces an additional
set of shutters into the path of the laser beam to block treatment in
the meridian where the cornea is flatter, thus allowing more treatment
in the regions where the cornea is high. The autonomous LADAR vision
laser applies additional pulses along the higher meridian, thereby reducing
the astigmatism.
16. What other surgical alternatives are there
to PRK and LASIK?
Radial Keratotomy (RK) is a surgical procedure that can also correct
nearsightedness by changing the shape of the cornea. Microscopic incisions
of 90% depth, placed in a radial pattern, like the spokes of a wagon
wheel, reshape and flatten the central cornea, allowing light to focus
more precisely on the retina. The length and number of incisions determine
the effect of the surgery. Patients with less than 3 diopters of nearsightedness
and stable prescriptions are the best candidates.
17. Are there other alternatives for astigmatic
correction?
A variation of RK, called astigmatic keratotomy or AK, is a somewhat
effective means of reducing smaller amounts of astigmatism. By making
incisions in an arc-like or segmental fashion parallel to the white
of the eye where the cornea is steep, it is caused to relax and become
more spherical.
18. What about farsightedness?
In the past ALK was used. In this procedure a thicker layer of the cornea
was folded back with the microkeratome. Pressure inside the eye causes
the corneal bed to steepen, the opposite of what occurs in LVC. The
cap was placed back into position without the removal of additional
tissue. Although it has been shown to effectively reduce or eliminate
farsightedness in the +1.00 to +5.00 range, enough cases of corneal
instability have been reported nationwide that this procedure has fallen
out of favor. Now LASIK for hyperopia is considered by most to be the
best option.
Conductive Keratoplasty (CK) uses a fine tipped probe to deliver radio-frequency
energy to the corneal collagen in a ring of individually placed spots
to steepen the cornea. Farsighted patients with a prescription between
+0.75 to +3.25 and no more than 0.75 diopters of astigmatism are the
best candidates for this procedure. Because of mild regression and a
lack of long-term results, the procedure has been labeled as temporary.
19. How does laser vision correction for hyperopia
work?
Now both PRK and LASIK are possible and effective for hyperopia. The
procedure is identical to the myopic (nearsighted) procedure, however
by blocking the laser from treating centrally and allowing it to remove
more tissue in the periphery of the cornea, a steepening rather than
a flattening of the cornea is produced.
20. What are the results/Will my vision be 20/20
after LVC?
The results are quite remarkable. In the U.S. clinical trials that were
reviewed during the approval process for laser correction of nearsightedness,
100% of the patients studied experienced improved or uncorrected vision.
Over 90% were returned to 20/40 sight or better -- the "driving
standard" in most states -- and were able to enjoy life and perform
most activities without glasses or contacts. With refinement in techniques
since the studies, 95-98% of eyes with mild to moderate myopia who undergo
PRK vision correction achieve 20/40 vision or better - enough to pass
a driver's exam without glasses with a single procedure. Two-thirds
achieved 20/20 vision.
21. Are these procedures FDA approved?
Yes, both the PRK and LASIK procedure have been FDA approved. Specific
amounts of correction approved for treatment vary according to specific
laser manufacturers.
CANDIDACY
22. How do I know if I'm a good candidate for
laser vision correction?
The great majority of all nearsighted Americans are potential candidates
for the laser treatment. Patients must be at least 18 years of age,
have mild to moderate near sightedness with a stable prescription, and
have no ocular or health issues. The best candidates tend to be people
who are dissatisfied with their glasses or contact lenses and are motivated
to make a change, whether it's due to occupational or lifestyle reasons.
Although a patient's prescription may make him or her a suitable candidate
for laser vision correction procedure, it is very important that the
patient have the appropriate level of expectations regarding the outcome
of the procedure. Although uncorrected post-op vision (after healing)
is usually excellent, no one can promise you 20/20 vision.
A person is a good candidate for laser vision correction if he or she
expresses the following sentiments in discussing whether or not to undergo
the procedure:
- I dislike being dependent on glasses for clear vision.
- I was never a good contact lens candidate/wearer.
- Wearing corrective lenses restricts my participation in sports and
other activities.
- My overall appearance is improved without glasses.
- I worry about losing my corrective lenses (or breaking my glasses).
Without them I fear that I would be totally disabled.
- Having good vision without corrective lenses is more important than
having great vision with corrective lenses.
- I would be happy if my vision was greatly improved, even if I still
had to wear corrective lenses some of the time.
- I usually adjust well to change.
- I am a fairly easy-going person.
- Not wearing corrective lenses would open new career opportunities
for me.
- I have often wished I did not have to wear corrective lenses.
A person is probably not a good candidate for Laser vision correction
if he or she expresses the following sentiments in discussing whether
or not to undergo the procedure:
- I like wearing glasses and would feel uncomfortable without them.
- I don't mind wearing contact lenses.
- Glasses give me excellent vision for all activities.
- I don't accept changes easily.
- I get upset or stressed out easily when things don't seem to happen
in just the way I had planned or expected.
- I am a perfectionist and little irregularities bother me.
- I would be very upset if I did not end up with perfect vision after
my procedure and would probably consider the entire experience a failure.
- If I needed more correction after my procedure, I would be devastated.
A patient is also not a good candidate for laser vision correction,
if any of the following conditions are present:
- Less than 18 years of age
- Progressive myopia/unstable refractive error (>0.25-0.50/yr)
- History of keloid formation (there may be a relationship with significant
post-operative haze in the cornea although no association has been
proven)
- Keratoconus - an abnormal progressive weakening of the cornea that
your doctor can detect with a sophisticated computerized machine called
a corneal topographer as well as other tests
- Pupil size greater than 8 mm in diameter (in dim illumination) are
only candidates for Allegretto
- Cataracts - removal of the cataract with insertion of the appropriate
implant lens will greatly reduce one's dependence on glasses
- Unwilling to commit to post-procedure and follow-up care instructions
- Pregnancy
- Ocular herpes
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Uncontrolled inflammatory diseases
23. Is there a limit to how much nearsightedness
LVC can correct?
Most refractive surgeons now believe that -10D is the upper limit for
good patient satisfaction, although LASIK can be used effectively under
certain circumstances for prescriptions as high as -12D. Above these
levels, other procedures involving the implanting of lenses inside the
eye will probably become the procedures of choice. PRK is approved by
the FDA for treatments of up to -12D. However, most surgeons prefer
LASIK to PRK when treating more than 4D of myopia. Corneal thickness
measurements are very important and this also limits the amount of correction
that is performed.
24. If I have had a previous corneal injury,
can I have refractive surgery done?
A full eye exam is needed in order to determine if you are a good candidate.
If you have had a corneal injury, it will depend upon the size and type
of injury.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE
25. Will I be in any pain?
There is no discomfort at all during the PRK procedure. Following the
procedure, you may experience a gritty sensation with some mild to moderate
discomfort which we alleviate by putting a contact lens and giving you
anesthetic drops and pain medication to use during the first 24 hours
in the event of severe discomfort. All discomfort should be completely
resolved within 2-3 days as the surface layer fills in to cover the
exposed corneal nerve endings. All discomfort should be completely resolved
within 2-3 days except in the rarest of cases.
During the LASIK procedure there is no pain, however there is about
10 seconds of firm pressure while the corneal flap is being created.
Following the procedure, patients may experience some scratchiness that
is relieved by the use of anesthetic drops.
26. Can I have both eyes done at the same time?
Most patients undergoing LASIK and PRK prefer to have both eyes treated
on the same day since it is more convenient for them, however this is
a decision entirely between the patient and the doctor.
27. Will I be awake as the operation is being
performed?
Yes. Your doctor will need you to fixate on a blinking light in the
microscope during the procedure. This will ensure that the tissue removed
will be centered over your pupil (the shutter of your eye).
28. What if my eye moves during the procedure?
Two of the lasers used by Dr. Rothman, the Allegretto Wave and the VISX
Star S4, have a tracking device. With that device the laser detects
and compensates for small movements by guiding the laser beam to keep
it centered precisely over the treatment area providing the highest
level of precision, comfort and safety.
RECOVERY TIME
29. When can I go back to work?
Most patients will be able to return to their normal activities within
a few days as long as they work in a clean environment. Procedures are
performed on a variety of days to accommodate your work schedule.
30. Will I require eye drops after surgery?
In PRK, because the laser removes tissue from the surface of the eye,
the body will attempt to fill in the defect much like if you had a cut
on your hand. Since corneal tissue has different healing properties,
the process can normally be regulated with the use of topical steroid
drops which patients may be required to use over a three to six month
period.
In LASIK, these drops are only used for a week. These drops will rarely
cause any problems. However, eyes must be monitored on a monthly basis
to fine tune the drop dosage and check for any unwanted side effects
such as delayed or too rapid healing and elevation in eye pressure (glaucoma).
Antibiotic drops are also used for about a week with both procedures.
Please see - Post Operative Instructions.
31. How many times will I be seen following surgery?
And how important are these appointments?
Plan on about 4 short visits in the first three months following surgery.
Even if you are seeing well, there are things that must be monitored
during the first few months following your procedure to ensure that
you achieve the best possible outcome for your vision.
32. How long do I have to wait before I can take
a bath or shower after surgery?
You can shower or bathe the day after surgery. Avoid getting soap or
water in the eyes or immersing in the ocean, in a pool or in a Jacuzzi
for al least 2 weeks after the surgery.
33. When can I wear eye makeup after surgery?
It is a good idea to buy new mascara after surgery to avoid infection
and it is best to wait 1 week before using eye makeup.
34. How soon after surgery can I drive?
You can resume driving as you feel comfortable with your vision. About
90% of patients are able to drive on their own on the day following
LASIK. With PRK, it usually takes about 4-5 days to feel comfortable.
You should avoid driving while under the influence of any medications
taken following surgery.
35. When can I exercise after surgery?
You may resume exercises as you wish. Don't get sweat in your eyes.
Try to keep your hands clean and away from your eyes. Swimming, however,
should also be avoided for at least two weeks.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SURGERY
36a. If I have PRK, what kind of vision can be expected
the following day?
Vision is greatly improved but typically blurry immediately after the
procedure (20/80-20/200). It generally starts to improve once the surface
layer of the cornea (epithelium) has grown back, which in most cases
takes 3 to 4 days (approximately 20/40). Vision typically starts to
get good within 7-10, days but can continue to be blurry for a number
of weeks. For most patients, vision stabilizes within 3 months (some
may take 6 months or longer). The healing process varies for each patient,
and it is difficult to predict precisely when you will achieve your
best visual acuity. However, most patients who have both eyes treated
at the same time report that they are able to drive a car safely and
resume their normal activities between 3-5 days following PRK.
36b. If I have LASIK, what kind of vision can
be expected the following day?
The first day after LASIK, most patients have experienced a large improvement
in their vision, to approximately 20/40 or even better. This greatly
depends on your preoperative prescription. You can expect to regain
approximately 75% to 80% of your vision in the first two to three days
after LASIK. The remainder of your vision will improve gradually over
several weeks. If you have significant astigmatism, or are very nearsighted/farsighted
sight recovery and stabilization are slower.
37. Will I need glasses or contacts after surgery?
If the patient opts to have only one eye treated at a time, your doctor
will need to fit your untreated eye with a contact lens for use during
your wait before the second eye is done. This can be done in almost
all cases, even if you have not been able to tolerate contacts in the
past. The optics of removing the glass in front of your treated eye
in your spectacles, while giving clearer vision to each eye individually,
will often cause disorientation and headaches due to image size discrepancy,
unless your original prescription was less than -3.00.
38. Will I need reading glasses after surgery?
As people enter their 40s, they start to develop presbyopia (see #4).
Regardless of whether or not you've had laser vision correction, this
process will happen to you. Your surgeon can create an effect known
as monovision. This means that one eye will be left slightly nearsighted,
thus allowing you to focus on print such as labels and menus without
reading glasses, and perhaps allowing you to read into your 50s. As
one gets older, it will be necessary to wear reading glasses. Furthermore,
if you are over the age of 40 and are used to removing your glasses
to read, you must realize that this will no longer be an option following
a full correction of your nearsightedness with the surgery.
Shortly after you have had the procedure, it is possible that you may
require a temporary pair of reading glasses if you are approaching your
40th birthday since the laser, by design, causes an early overcorrection
that normally goes away with time.
39. Can I wear contact lenses after laser surgery?
If you were able to wear contacts prior to surgery, you should be able
to wear contacts afterwards. There may be some increase in difficulty
due to the new shape of the front of the eye, however, it is very unusual
for patients to require significant corrections after surgery.
40. Will the effects of the treatment be permanent?
Given the results of the U.S. clinical trials and the results reported
internationally, the treatment appears to be permanent, however LVC
will not prevent age related conditions such as cataracts or presbyopia.
SAFETY AND LVC
41. What are the side effects of this surgery?
The most common side effects of laser vision correction are "halo"
effect and some glare at night around lights. These are related to the
area of treatment on the surface of the eye and the size of your pupil
in dim lighting. However, these problems are no worse than what most
contact lens and eyeglass wearers often experience. Using the Allegretto
Wave laser we can expand the treatment areas thereby reducing the risk
of the side effects in patients with larger pupils.
With PRK, a small percentage of patients may develop haze that, in rare
cases, may effect visual acuity. This is exceedingly rare in patients
whose initial prescription is < -4D. The effect may last for several
months, but is rarely permanent.
42. Is it possible to become blind with the surgery?
All eye surgeries carry with them the possibility of infection. The
worst case scenario of infection is that it could damage the cornea
or retina and result in loss of sight. It is important to put this possibility
into perspective when considering laser vision correction. However,
the risk of a catastrophic complication from LVC is probably less than
the risk of loss of sight through the use of extended wear contact lenses.
In addition, there are other corneal irregularities which can rarely
occur. The worst case scenario could be corneal scarring which could
require corneal replacement.
43. What are the drawbacks of LASIK?
While more comfortable and yielding quicker rehabilitation of vision,
LASIK is technically more difficult to perform than PRK and carries
with it a slightly higher complication rate. This is because there is
an extra step involved - the creation of the corneal flap. This is rarely
associated with any considerable or permanent vision loss, however,
there are occasional circumstances which could cause flap wrinkling,
or incomplete flaps which could lead to vision difficulty, requiring
further procedures.
44. How do I know LVC is safe?
In the U.S. clinical trials' 3-year follow-up, no sight-threatening
complications were reported. And with over five million treatments performed
nationwide, very few sight-threatening complications have occurred.
45. Being so prevalent in Las Vegas, how do you
protect against power surges and outages?
Many of our patients have expressed understandable concern by asking,
"What happens if there is a power cut during my laser treatment?"
The answer is that we have a very sophisticated uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) that will take over and supply needed power to the laser
to complete any treatment started.
The laser will run for more than 20 minutes following a power cut, more
than enough to complete any procedure. Our UPS unit provides pure sine
wave technology for perfect mains voltage reproduction and regulation.
This means that no matter what happens to the mains voltage, including
current sags, or "brown outs," all of our 3 lasers are provided
with continuous alternating current power, exactly the same power that
operates them under normal conditions.
