LASIK DALLAS - Dr William Boothe

PRK is the acronym for photorefractive keratectomy which is a procedure involving the removal of the surface layer of the cornea (epithelium) by gentle scraping and use of a computer-controlled excimer laser to reshape the stroma.

Presbyopia is part of the normal process of aging. As a person becomes older, one begins to lose the flexibility of the lens of the eye which limits the ability of the eye to change its point of focus from distance to near.

Trephine - (truh-FEEN) A surgical tool with serrated edges, used to cut circular pieces. It’s used in a LASEK procedure instead of a microkeratome to cut the corneal flap.

DALLAS LASIK - Dr William A. Boothe: It has a suction ring that keeps your eye pressurized, which is important in LASIK for allowing the surgeon to cut the corneal flap. Dr. Boothe, the surgeon will use an ink marker to mark the cornea before the flap is created. The flap is then created with either a microkeratome or with a laser, depending on the surgeon's preference.
If you're stuck in glasses or contacts, imagine what it would be like to wake each morning and see clearly throughout the day - no matter what activities or hobbies you are enjoying. Imagine your life without the frustration! Your new vision after LASIK Surgery will allow you to focus on the more important things in your life. Think of Your World Without Glasses and Contacts
Advanced age can also lead to diseases that can seriously undermine vision. This is best exemplified by age related macular degeneration. New and defective blood vessels form networks that prevent normal eyesight. Dr. Boothe, through laser surgery for eyes, these unhealthy blood vessels are removed.

CrystaLens - A type of intraocular lens which changes focus between close and distant objects. More information.

Crystalline lens - The eye’s natural lens, which is behind the iris and in a healthy eye is completely clear. Light passes through it and is refracted by the lens to focus on the retina. Tiny muscles attached to the lens change its convexity according to where the eye is focused. As we age, it can start to become cloudy (cataracts), impairing our vision.

DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK SURGERY: There is also Pseudoesotropia, which looks like esotropia but is a temporary condition where a young child’s eyes haven’t yet grown the white part next to the nose. The bridge of the nose appears wide and the eyes appear to be both turned inward. This resolves itself as the child’s face develops.

Misalignment of the eyes in childhood should be corrected as soon as possible, so that binocular vision (the brain’s ability to use both eyes together) can develop and amblyopia can be avoided. Surgery may be needed; or glasses, an eye patch, or other types of treatment.

Dr. Boothe’s peers recognize his experience as he has taught other surgeons his technique in performing the LASIK procedure. Dr. William Boothe is Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Dr. William Boothe’s love of medicine and passion for advancing technologies combined to make him a pioneer in ophthalmology.
Dr Boothe Ophthalmologist Your eyes are very sensitive organs that need the utmost care. Dr. Boothe, and yet, sometimes things can go wrong with your eyes - disease, age or injury or even heredity factors are just unpredictable so that even with the best of care, our eyes seem to malfunction.
Dr. Boothe with the advent of lasik technology, eye correction with the use of surgery has become more affordable, more convenient and even painless. The accuracy by which eye surgeons have dealt with real eye problems has been remarkable. Patients have been thrilled with results. What a miracle! They can see!

LASIK (Laser in-situ Keratomileusis) is used to correct or reduce moderate to high levels of nearsightedness (myopia), astigmatism and farsightedness (hyperopia). The traditional LASIK procedure is relatively simple: a keratome is used to gently create a flap in the cornea. In IntraLASIK, the flap is created by a computer-controlled, precision laser.
The flap is lifted and an excimer laser is then used to shape the remaining tissue. The flap is then carefully set back into place, forming an occlusive seal by osmopic pressure. Osmopic pressure holds the flap in place and allows it to heal very quickly, without stitches!
Laser surgery for eyes is also recommended for glaucoma patients. Glaucoma results from poor drainage of aqueous fluids in the eye. Dr. Boothe, the result is a build- up of pressure that can press against the optic nerves. This can lead to serious complications especially if the optic nerves are damaged beyond repair. Laser beams can be directed into the area where this fluid accumulates to widen the angle through which it flows.
Dr. Boothe, in the case of glaucoma caused by the construction of new and more blood vessels, laser can be used to destroy these new and often poorly formed blood vessels so aqueous fluids can easily flow.
