Orange County Custom Lasik
At Global Laser Vision in San Diego or Orange County, our goal is to
educate potential LASIK patients and advise them as to whether or
not they are good candidates. Our doctors are very careful in
deciding which patients are indeed good candidates for laser vision
correction and each patient is educated about the expected outcome
and inherent risks associated with the procedures.
We provide you with the most thorough examination and consultation
so that you have the information you need to make an informed
decision. We invite you to improve the
quality of your life by reducing or eliminating your dependency on
your glasses or contact lenses. Find out today if laser vision
correction or LASIK is the right procedure for you.
A thorough eye exam includes: visual acuity, a refraction to
determine your refractive error (this is what we use to base our
treatment with the laser on), pupil tests,
tonometry, slit lamp examination, topography, Wavefront analysis,
Pachymetry, and a dilated eye exam. The eye exam includes microscope
evaluation of external and
internal eye structures for cataracts, cornea disease, retina
disease, and glaucoma. In addition, corneal topography machines are
used to give us a full computer analysis
of the curvatures of the cornea. The Pachymetry test measures the
thickness of the cornea and gives true information used in the
surgical planning for the LASIK procedure.

Laser Eye Surgery La Jolla
When San Diego patients make a decision to have LASIK or laser eye
surgery, one of the biggest considerations is which surgeon to
choose. In an area as large as
southern California you may have several options available, so how
do you determine who is the best qualified to perform your vision
correction? You should demand the
latest technology, unsurpassed personal attention, and a highly
skilled Doctor. That's what you get from Advanced Ophthalmology
Institute.
Most doctors do not have the luxury of having a state of the art
surgical center on their premises, however, at Advanced
Ophthalmology Institute we believe it is an important
factor in providing quality service. We have a state of the art
surgery facility with only the best, FDA approved, equipment on
site. Our doctors are highly trained on all of our
equipment, and we are conveniently located on Regents Parkway in La
Jolla.

LASIK San Diego Cataracts
Laser vision correction has successfully corrected the vision of
over 6 million people. Individuals who suffer from myopia
(nearsightedness) with or without astigmatism or
hyperopia (farsightedness) with or without astigmatism can choose
laser vision correction as an alternative to contact lenses or
eyeglasses.
LASIK is an acronym for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, which
means “to reshape the cornea by using a laser." The difference
between PRK and LASIK Surgery is that PRK treats the exterior of the
eye, reshaping the outside surface while LASIK Eye Surgery reshapes
the cornea after a thin flap has been created on the surface of the
eye.
As a result, with LASIK there is less area to heal, less risk of
scarring, less risk of corneal haze, less postoperative pain, fewer
postoperative medications, and vision is often improved more
rapidly. Gordon Binder Weiss Vision Institute was one of the initial
centers in the United States to offer LASIK Eye Surgery.
Excimer Laser Vision Correction, known medically as Photorefractive
Keratectomy (PRK), is a precise, minimally invasive method of
reshaping the cornea. Gordon Binder Weiss Vision Institute eye
surgeons use state-of-the-art, computerized Excimer Lasers to gently
remove a thin layer of tissue from the cornea’s surface, flattening
the cornea to achieve the desired correction. This reshaping of the
cornea helps the eye to focus properly, thus reducing or eliminating
the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses. Two variations of this
procedure are called LASEK (Laser Assisted Epithelial Keratomileusis)
and EPI-LASIK.
