According to USA Today & the Associated press about 700,000 Americans undergo laser eye surgery annually. According to the Association of Ophthalmology 95-99% of all Lasik procedures were successful with no complications. Over 12 million people to date have had corrective laser eye surgery.

The Boxer Wachler Vision Institute provides its patients with the highest quality of care. They have the most up to date medical equipment, caring and attentive staff, and a great surgeon to offer each person that walks through their door. The experience of working with them is like no other, but don’t take our word for it simply listen to the words of these patients:

Meet Michael-

Michael had a RK procedure done in 1986. RK was a procedure that quickly was abandoned with advent of lasers. RK was a procedure that involved making multiple incisions in the eye and over time those incisions would weaken causing the vision to change. In 1995 his vision started to breakdown and it became more and more difficult for him to function with normal daily activities. Dr. Boxer Wachler recommended that Michael undergo a PRK, now his vision is 20/20. Michael is no longer wearing glasses or contacts.

Michael says:

“I highly recommend these procedures for your vision needs, and I am thoroughly happy with my results”.

Meet Mathew Bencha- MMA Fighter

Mathew Bencha is an amateur fighter and was turning pro. However fighters can not fight with any eye glass wear or glasses and without it Mathew would not be able to see. After speaking with Dr. Boxer Wachler it was recommended he have PRK done, it would be the best procedure given his field of work and there would be no incision.

After the procedure Matt stated it took him about 4-6 weeks to fully recover, but he is absolutely thrilled with his results. Matt no longer needs to wear his contacts any longer and will be fighting in the Pros in no time.

Matt Says:

                                            “If you are getting the PRK, I recommend Dr. Boxer Wachler ”

PRK and No Cut LASEK:

Many of us are familiar with Lasik surgery. And for those of us who couldn’t get Lasik because your cornea thickness was too thin or you just had too many reservations on the procedure altogether PRK and No-Cut LASEK could be your answer. Both PRK and No-Cut LASEK can treat people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is a short procedure usually only taking 5-10 minutes to complete.

The procedures simply involve the doctor moving the surface layer of skin from the cornea and using a laser to reshape it. The new layer of skin grows back within a few days with little to no pain. In this procedure there is no flap creation making it much less involved, and an even faster recovery time.

Who Can Benefit from PRK and LASEK:

Patients that are apprehensive about Lasik

Patients that have thinner Cornea thickness and are good candidates for Lasik

Patients that have had previous RK (Radial Keratotomy)

Benefits of PK and LASEK:

Procedure is less involved

Is minimally invasive for Laser procedure

Can Correct height perceptions compared to Lasik

Dr. Boxer Wachler has performed many PK and LASEK procedures. If you have any additional questions you would like to ask him or his staff you can visit: www.boxerwachler.com

In the past treatments for Keratoconus generally meant an invasive procedure that required transplant of the cornea. A new day has dawned and the treatments for Keratoconus are showing positive & incredible results without the invasive technique of a Corneal Transplants. In the past receiving a corneal transplant often meant longer recovery times, possible infections, and pain after surgery. Now we have a treatment that can slow or stop the progression of Keratoconus, and has shown reversal of damage Keratoconus has caused to the eye with little to no recovery time or pain.

This new treatment? C3-R®. Also known as Corneal Collagen Cross-linking with Riboflavin. This simple procedure takes only about 30 minutes, can be performed in the doctors office and has little to no recovery time. C3-R® has shown excellent promise in treatments for Keratoconus. In some cases this procedure has even repaired damage that has already been done to the cornea by Keratoconus.

C3-R® is performed by applying a special solution to loosen the epithelium and installing the Riboflavin drops, then a special UV light is used to activate the medication. The total procedure takes around 30 minutes and continues to strengthen the cornea over 3 to 6months.

It is performed two ways Epithelium on and Epithelium off. The Boxer Wachler Vision Institute uses the Epithelium on technique. This means a solution is used to loosen the Epithelium so the Riboflavin drops will penetrate to the cornea. Since the Epithelium is not removed there is little to no pain during recovery. The effectiveness of removing the epithelium has not been proved to improve the results. The procedure with the epithelium still intact however proves to be less painful for the patients, the cornea is strengthened and the progression of Keratoconus is halted.

Benefits of Using Epithelium On Procedure-(Trans Epithelial) C3-R® for Treatment:

Reduced Recovery time

Less Pain

Non-Invasive

Keratoconus Halted

Increased improvement of vision

For years researchers and Doctors have been looking for effective ways to treat patients with keratoconus. In the past the options were very slim with little hope for reversals or healing the corneas. Often patients had to receive corneal transplants to get relief from diseases like Keratoconus. However now they are finding new and less invasive ways to correct the progression of keratoconus.

Keratoconus is caused by free radicals which invade the eye and create a reactive species which break down and cause weakness. The weakness causes the cornea to herniate causing keratoconus. The progression is not over night but over years and the effects of keratoconus can be debilitating for the patient leading to blindness. In the beginning of the disease there are little symptoms and patients often overlook a problem. The condition often strikes one eye first later spreading to the second eye by the time a problem is detected.

Now there is a treatment called C3-R® which can strengthen the cornea in the places that are weakened and give the reverse effect of the damage done by keratoconus. The treatment is relatively easy with only 30 minutes to apply and the cornea is strengthened over the next 2-4 months. Many patients only need one application, while more severe cases may require two.

The use of C3-R® or Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin has been very effective in recent years and can give tremendous improvement to the patients vision. In addition to C3-R® the doctor can use Intacs, and/or CK to additionally improve the sight of the patient.

A few symptoms of Keratoconus are:

Itchy eyes

Excessive Rubbing

Visual disturbances

Visual discomfort

Glare halo

Squinting

Seeing double

There are two forms of Closed-Angle Glaucoma. Acute which is brought on quickly and considered a medical emergency; and Chronic which can develop slowly with no symptoms.

Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma is generally caused by a rapid build up of pressure in the eye. Creating a sudden blockage of the fluid that travels between the iris and the lens. Acute Closed Angle Glaucoma can strike at any age and gender.

Chronic Closed-Angle Glaucoma is a silent creeper. It shows no symptoms and is usually caught during a routine examination. General symptoms of Chronic Closed-Angle Glaucoma are not apparent until much damage has been done. It is important to get regular screenings for Glaucoma if you have risk factors or any form of Diabetes. Risk factors for glaucoma are listed below.

Glaucoma Risk Factors:

Predominant Risk Factors-

Aging

Positive Family history

Race [African Americans]

High Intraocular Pressure

Central Corneal Thickness

Suspicious Nerve Appearance

Other Possible Risk Factors-

High Myopia

Diabetes

Hyper Tension

Eye Injury

History of steroid use

Migraine Headaches

Below are some symptoms of Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma:

*Note: if you are experiencing these symptoms go to an emergency room for treatment.

Rainbow Halos [Around lights]

Reddening of the eye

Acute Closed-Angle Glaucoma is a medical emergency. Failure to treat this serious condition can lead to blindness within one to two days. It is important to call your eye doctor immediately if you are experiencing any form of changes in your vision. Go to a medical center if you are experiencing vomiting, and severer pain in association with these changes.
