Brilliant Eyecare
The cornea is a part of the eye that helps focus light to create an
image on the retina. It works in much the same way that the lens of
a camera focuses light to create an image on film. The bending and
focusing of light is also known as refraction. Usually the shape of
the cornea and the eye are not perfect and the image on the retina
is out-of-focus (blurred) or distorted.
In LASIK surgery, precise and controlled removal of corneal tissue
by a special laser, reshapes the cornea changing its focusing power.
LASIK is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the
cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, by using an
excimer laser. A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a
flap in the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The
flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the
cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion
of the stroma and the flap is replaced.
Dr. Brilliant has been in private practice for over 20 years. She is
a graduate of Southern College of Optometry. She specializes in
custom contact lenses fitting and in co-management of refractive
surgery. She is a member of the Contact Lens Section of the American
Optometric Association. Currently, she is serving as President of
the Anne Arundel Society of Optometry for the Maryland Optometric
Association. In August 2007, Governor O'Malley appointed Dr.
Brilliant to the State Board of Examiners in Optometry. She
continues to recognize the importance of personal care in solving
her patient's visual needs.

Saddleback Eye Center
Since laser vision correction was introduced a decade ago, there
have been steady advances in the safety and precision of LASIK. The
most groundbreaking of these advancements is All-Laser LASIK
technology– it is 100% all-laser, providing patients with a safe,
bladeless approach. Better yet, Intralase allows more people to reap
the benefits of LASIK than ever before, as its precision allows Dr.
Manger to treat even those patients with high prescriptions or thin
corneas!
In traditional LASIK, the first step of the LASIK procedure is
performed with a hand-held metal blade, or microkeratome. Although
traditional LASIK has been an effective procedure, All-Laser LASIK
uses a computer-controlled laser, Intralase, eliminating many of the
possible complications seen with the mechanical device. Because the
flap is created with the precision of a cool beam laser, Dr. Manger
is able to precisely determine the exact depth of your corneal flap
for the most accurate results possible. This advanced technology
allows Dr. Manger unprecedented control and precision during the
procedure, and delivers a premium level of safety to our patients.
Dr. Manger has also personally had refractive surgery to correct his
own nearsightedness, so he knows first hand just how life changing
the results can be. A trusted, well-respected expert in the LASIK
field, numerous other doctors and professionals have entrusted Dr.
Manger with correcting their own vision. Furthermore, Dr. Manger has
performed vision correction on his wife, his son, and over 65
members of his staff and their family members, all of who are now
enjoying the freedom and benefits that clear, crisp vision can
provide.
High standards and extensive experience over the past 28 years has
made Dr. Manger the most experienced LASIK surgeon in the Western
United States. Dr. Manger is committed to offering patients the best
LASIK technology available - iLASIK. iLASIK is 100% blade-free, 100%
all-laser and 100% personalized just for you. A decade in the
making, iLASIK combines the most advanced laser vision correction
technology - VISX Star S4 laser, CustomVue, Iris Registration and
ActivTrak. But above all, we are one of very few LASIK centers that
offer this combination of technology and experience; it's just one
more reason that Saddleback Eye Center is truly one of this
country's elite vision correction practices.

Cataract Surgery
Wavefront Guided and Wavefront Optimized technology are advanced
optics originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes like
NASA’s Hubble Telescope. When viewing distant objects resolution
diminishes as a result of micro-imperfections in the lenses of the
telescopes. With the advent of Wavefront optics resolution is 25
times clearer. When implemented, Wavefront Guided Vision Correction
transfers the improved resolution directly to the eye, generating
vision considerably better than with standard methods used for
traditional glasses and contact lenses.
The pattern of visual imperfections in the human eye is as unique as
ones fingerprints. Before recent advancements in technology, doctors
were only able to use standard measurements to correct vision,
meaning that prescriptions could only provide a limited degree of
correction regardless of an individual's needs.
Wavefront-guided laser vision correction allows us to measure these
visual imperfections at 200 individual points, and generate a
detailed map of the eye leading to a personalized treatment tailored
for each eye. And when it comes to your eyes, one size does not fit
all.
