Surface laser for refractive surgery

Refractive errors such as Astigmatism, Farsightedness (hyperopia), Nearsightedness (myopia) and Presbyopia are treated with the help of refractive surgery. It is a method to correct or improve the vision. Refractive surgery reshapes cornea and clear it. It may also implant a lens in the effected eye. LASIK (Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is widely used procedure for refractive surgery. Another way to perform refractive surgery is through surface laser.

Surface laser is also known as ASL, PRK, Nu-LASIK, LASEK, and Epi- LASIK. If the patient’s cornea is irregular, unstable or thin, LASIK is not suitable. The patient is most likely to be treated with surface laser.

Surface laser procedure skips many steps used in ordinary refractive surgeries. It uses femtosecond laser which actually throws lasers on the cornea. Basic difference in the surface laser procedure and LASIK is the recovery time. Recovery time is longer for surface laser procedure than for LASIK. A patient who has surface layer surgery for his eye may take 4 days and in some cases more than 4 days to achieve his usual vision. Even after the surgery eyes feel gritty and sore for some days.

FDA Study for Patients with Cataracts and Astigmatism

ARE YOU PLANNING ON HAVING CATARACT SURGERY?

WE HAVE OPENINGS TO EVALUATE A NEW INVESTIGATIONAL INTRAOCULAR LENS DESIGNED TO REDUCE ASTIGMATISM AFTER CATARACT SURGERY

If you have astigmatism and need cataract surgery, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to evaluate an investigational intraocular lens.

This study requires a preliminary visit to confirm study eligibility prior to cataract surgery, and 5 follow-up visits to the doctor’s office in the 12 months after your cataract is removed, for a total of 6 visits.

Eligible subjects must be at least 50 years of age and have a cataract in at least one eye, with no history of other significant diseases of the eye. Additionally, they must be in good health and be able to achieve at least 20/30 vision after surgery in the study eye.

If you believe you are qualified, and are interested in participating in this study, please call

Amy Kesteloot, Study Coordinator, at (248) 333-2900 to schedule a cataract evaluation exam.

Clinical Research Study for Patients with Cataracts

Grosinger, Spigelman and Grey Eye Surgeons is participating in a research study (sponsored by a major intraocular lens manufacturing company) to collect data supporting the effectiveness of an investigational intraocular lens compared to an approved, marketed intraocular lens. “Investigational” means that the device being tested has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study involves the surgical implantation of an intraocular lens into both eyes and approximately 7 follow-up visits for up to 6 months after surgery. The investigational lens is designed to provide both intermediate (arms length) and far vision and may reduce your need for glasses. The approved, marketed intraocular lens is routinely used in many offices for cataract surgery. For more information, please call.
