LASIK (Laser In-Situ Keratomileusis) is a safe and effective laser
surgery that can correct most cases of imperfect vision due to
nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The procedure only
takes 20 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.
Discover Vision Centers is committed to providing lifetime quality
care in all that we do. We stand by our commitment with a Limited
Lifetime Warranty* on our LASIK procedure. Although it is uncommon,
if your prescription regresses after you have had LASIK surgery at
Discover Vision Centers, we will enhance your vision FREE of charge
for one year. Our warranty offers additional enhancements for a
nominal fee after the first year. Warranty eligibility is easy for
you to maintain by simply having an annual eye exam.
Medical conditions, infections and injuries which affect the eye
require serious attention. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor
(M.D.) who is able to diagnose and treat diseases, and who can also
perform surgery.
When a patient suffers from an eye injury or is in need of surgery,
our doctors understand that response time can be critical. Because
Discover Vision owns its own ambulatory surgery centers (A.S.C.), we
are unique in our ability to perform surgery internally. Our
patients not only benefit from the experience and dedication of our
doctors, but also the convenience and access to our full spectrum of
eye care services.
Dr. David Amsterdam is a board certified ophthalmologist who
specializes in general ophthalmology, including cataract surgery,
oculoplastic surgery and glaucoma.

Cataract Surgery Center
To correct myopia the cornea is flattened by removing more tissue in
the center of the cornea than the periphery. To correct hyperopia
the cornea is steepened by removing more tissue in the periphery of
the cornea than the central zone. To correct for astigmatism more
corneal tissue is removed in one direction or axis than the opposing
direction.
After the laser is applied, which typically lasts less than 30-60
seconds, the corneal flap is repositioned. At the end of the
procedure patients are given antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops
to control inflammation. The procedure is painless and takes
approximately 10 minutes per eye. Typically both eyes are done
consecutively during the same session. Patients are able to drive
the next day and return to work shortly thereafter.
Drs. Parelman and Unterman are specially trained corneal surgeons
who have completed a cornea and refractive surgery fellowship. In
additions to LASIK, they routinely perform cornea transplants and
other corneal surgeries, and have taught these techniques to other
surgeons.
LASIK is performed at the Laser Sight Center, 3840 West 75th Street,
Prairie Village, Kansas adjacent to the Mid-America Eye Center
offices. Drs. Parelman and Unterman use a Star S4 Visx laser, which
is FDA approved for the correction of myopia, hyperopia and
astigmatism. The S4 has active eye tracking as well as the ability
to perform a wider treatment zone for patients with large pupils.
