Aurora Eye Clinic
The name “LASIK” is short for laser in-situ keratomileusis. Like
Photo-refractive Keratectomy, which also utilizes the Excimer Laser,
LASIK reshapes the cornea with laser technology. The shape of the
cornea is what determines whether you are nearsighted, farsighted,
have astigmatism, or have normal vision. The Excimer Laser emits a
“cool” laser light that can remove microscopic amounts of tissue
with extreme precision.
With LASIK, you are awake for the procedure. You will be given eye
drops to numb your eyes so that you will be comfortable throughout
the procedure. A small instrument is then inserted to hold your
eyelids open. Laser vision correction is best done on the underlying
layer of your cornea. Therefore, the doctor uses an instrument
called a “microkeratome” to lift a thin layer of the cornea to
create a “flap” that stays connected on one side.
Treating patients with Glaucoma surgery, Cataract surgery, Laser
surgery and general eye care, Dr. Barnes has been with Aurora Eye
Clinic since 1986. An Clinical
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Loyola University Medical
Center, he has supervised the Glaucoma Service. Dr. Barnes has
lectured extensively on Glaucoma.
Dr, Barnes received his medical degree from Rush Medical College and
completed Ophthalmology residency at the Loyola-Stritch School of
Medicine. He also completed a fellowship in Glaucoma at the
University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. Certified by the
American Board Ophthalmology, he is a member of the American Academy
of Ophthalmology and the Chicago Glaucoma Society.

PARK FAMILY EYE CARE
Our office treats medical eye diseases with utmost priority. If you
suddenly experience a red eye (which may signify a bacterial,
allergic or viral infection), we will take care of it immediately.
If you get any foreign objects in your eyes such as metal, call
immediately. If there is a family history of glaucoma, we will
perform a thorough evaluation and determine the extent of your
condition and prescribe the appropriate medication. Dry eye problems
are also evaluated with many tests to determine the extent of your
condition and be treated accordingly with over-the-counter or
prescription eye drops and/or punctal plugs. Macular degeneration,
cataracts, diabetes, and hypertension are carefully documented and
observed using the latest technology such as a digital fundus
camera. We may sometimes refer you to the appropriate specialist for
treatment depending on the location and extent of the disease. From
our 30 years of networking with eye doctors, we have our special
list of specialty doctors with the highest skills for different
parts of the eye. Examples include: eye muscle doctors, corneal
specialists, plastic surgery eye specialists, retinal specialists,
eye tumor specialists, etc.
Additional services include computer-assisted eye exams, infant and
pediatric eye exams, contact lens fittings of all types. We now use
High Definition Fourier/Spectral
Domain OCT(Ocular Coherence Tomography) for early glaucoma
detection, corneal topography utilizing WAVEFRONT technology for
contact lens fitting and corneal
evaluation, digital color fundus photography and automated
peripheral vision analysis using Digital Frequency Doubling
Technology(FDT)to detect or measure progression of
any ocular disease. Another new piece of equipment is the Digital
Spectrum Lensographer which will analyze your prescription using
WAVEFRONT technology and will show a color contour map of the
quality of the type of spectacle lenses as well as printing out its
exact prescription. We also have added Digital PACHYMETRY which
measures the thickness of the cornea letting us determine treatment
for glaucoma cases, and evaluate the cornea for LASIK surgery. Our
newer instrument, the Digital CANON AIR PUFF tonometer has a softer
puff and automatically tracks and takes the reading instantly. We
have an extensive optical showroom with over 800 frames to
compliment your lifestyle. Our office now offers the PRIO COMPUTER
VISION EXAM for those who have computer vision syndrome. For special
needs patients, infants and wheel chair patients, we now have the
Retinomax 3 autorefractor/keratometer that has 3 functions and can
take readings in .07 seconds for our most challenging cases. Please
call for free brochure or make an appointment for a computer vision
exam. COMPUTERIZED HOME VISION THERAPY is now available for patient
with eye muscle problems not corrected by glasses alone.
Our practice was established in 1977 in Fox Valley. We have
completed major reconstruction of our office, changing the facade
and expanding our building, with additional high-tech equipment, 5
brand new exam rooms(3 exam lanes plus 2 diagnostics rooms),optical
lab, staff conference/break room,bookkeeping, doctors library, and a
new contact lens teaching center. Please note our office is
wheelchair accessible which includes; front ramp, washrooms,and 3
more exam lanes which can accommodate wheelchairs without switching
chairs. Let us know when making an appointment.

Lasik Chicago Laser Vision Correction
During LASIK laser eye surgery the surgeon first applies anesthetic
eye drops to numb the eye for surgery. The Cornea is then marked
with water-soluble ink to guide
replacement of the flap. Next a suction ring is applied that is
designed to hold the eye steady and also confirms the pressure of
the eye. The surgeon then creates a thin
corneal flap using a device called a microkeratome. The surgeon
tests for laser alignment and walks the patient through the fixation
process. The corneal flap is lifted up, and the laser beam is
applied to the exposed interior surface of the cornea to reshape the
tissue. The computer-controlled excimer laser removes the tissue
under the flap and reshapes the cornea of the affected eye. In less
than 60 seconds, high-energy pulses from the excimer laser actually
reshape the internal cornea with accuracy up to 0.25 microns, or
1/4000 of a millimeter. The flap is then replaced over the treated
area. This corneal flap serves a natural bandage, which eliminates
the discomfort associated with other types of refractive surgery,
and expedites the healing process. Your doctor will then watch the
eye for five minutes to ensure proper healing. Because of the
extraordinary bonding properties of the corneal tissue, stitches are
not needed to keep the flap in place postoperatively.
With the IntraLase method, pulses of laser light create your corneal
flap, which is then lifted so the next step of LASIK—the
reshaping of your cornea—can be
performed. When your LASIK treatment is over, the flap is securely
repositioned into place. This bladeless, computer-guided technology
is 100% more accurate than most
of the mechanical microkeratomes (hand-held devices with a thin
metal blade) that surgeons may also use to create a corneal flap.
Dr. Rosin, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and the Chicago
Medical School, completed his residency and research fellowship at
Northwestern University Medical
School. He is currently an instructor in ophthalmology at
Northwestern Medical School, and previously served as the clinical
practice director for the department. Dr. Rosin focuses his surgical
skill on refractive and cataract surgery. He has traveled
extensively in order to bring the most up-to-date techniques to his
patients. Dr. Rosin is an active member of the American Academy of
Ophthalmology, the Illinois Association of Ophthalmology, and the
American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
