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 ”

As parents our biggest concerns are for our children. Hoping for good health we sometimes need to question whether the physicians are right. While many of us are starting to sway on the side of Lasik for ourselves. We still have questions as to whether this is a good procedure for our children. Some doctors are saying yes. The idea of getting to the children early and helping them before the problem grows is the best bet in some cases.

Even the idea of an Implantable lens is peeking many curiosities. The severity of the vision problems need to be taken under consideration and the ease with which the implantable lens can be removed if needed is weighing on doctors minds. Lasik surgery in the past was not as easy and required extra from the patient to help ensure and effective outcome. However the laser guided Lasik procedures are allowing many more patients to have an uneventful procedure allowing them to look at children of a younger age.

There are still some concerns when it comes to the children and vision correction however many doctors feel that if the child is suffering with sever eye problems than the corrective surgery should be considered. The Staar Surgical company has been providing ICL for several years.
