The Visian ICL is used to reduce high prescription in patients with Keratoconus. Keratoconus is an eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and becomes cone shaped. This makes vision increasingly worse over time. Typically, people will notice changes in their sight during puberty or during their late teens.

The Visian ICL is placed behind the iris to help reverse high prescriptions as a result of Keratoconus. The great thing about these lenses is you can’t even tell they are there. They usually don’t cause any adverse reaction whatsoever and give you an increased quality of vision.

Another great benefit of Visian ICL lens is the fact that they are permanent and do not require cleaning. If for some reason you notice changes in vision, the lenses can easily be removed, or swapped out for another pair. Depending on the severity of your specific case, you may still need to wear glasses or contacts. If you feel the need for sharper vision, you can speak with your doctor and they can help you come up with a solution.

What’s so amazing about this procedure is the fact that it only takes about 15 minutes and there is next to no discomfort associated with this procedure. Every patient will be given medications as well as eye drops to speed up the healing process and your doctor will want to see you the following day to see how your eyes look and feel. You’ll be back to your old self in no time feeling and seeing much better.

LASIK procedures have not been for everyone. Many people feel that LASIK has to many risks. And while not all medicine is an exact science, recent advancements in procedures have done well in being successful and lowering patients concerns about risks including No Cut LASEK.

It has also proven to work well for those who are not good candidates for LASIK procedures. There has also been a good success rate in those who have had corneal transplants or RK (Radial Keratotomy).

There are several benefits to the No Cut LASEK procedure including:

Less invasive than Lasik

Procedure takes only a matter of minutes

No cutting

Less Recovery

Less invasive than other procedures

No cut LASEK is similar to the PRK procedure and takes only 5-10 minutes involving the removal and replacement of the out layer of cells to allow for the of a flap of the cornea. Patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism have seen success with this procedure. In addition to that patients with Keratoconus have benefited when it was combined with other procedures like the Holcomb C3-R ®.

While many of us are skeptical to have any procedure done, the No Cut LASEK procedure has been successful and needed less recovery than the traditional PRK procedures available today. Deciding to get any procedure is a difficult one, but talking with your eye care professional can help you determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

A diagnoses of Keratoconus can be devastating to anyone however many advancements in the treatment of Keratoconus have brought new hope to Keratoconus patients including CK. CK or Conductive Keratoplasty is relatively new but was FDA approved in 2004. The treatment is used to help with irregular astigmatism and uses heat from radio waves instead of a laser to reshape the cornea.

In patients with Keratoconus the cornea starts to become irregular shaped which distorts the vision of the patient progressively over the course of years until the patient’s vision becomes so distorted it is difficult to see even with contacts or glasses. With this treatment the cornea is reshaped giving clearer vision to the patient and reducing the distorted vision.

CK often takes no longer than 5 minutes per eye and has a short recovery time for the patient with minimal discomfort. Patient are advised to take a 4-5 hour nap after the procedure and upon wakening many patients have noticeably improved vision.

Below are a few Symptoms of Keratoconus:

Excessive Rubbing of the eyes with or without itchy eyes
Visual disturbances or distortion
Glares or halos
Squinting to see
Seeing Double

Keratoconus affects thousands of people everyday. Understanding your treatment options for the treatment of Keratoconus and knowing that there is hope for you is the most important part of living with this progressive disease. Getting help early can reduce the damage of Keratoconus to your vision.

Many people over the years have grown skeptical of Classic Lasik procedures that though the procedure has advanced in many ways don’t feel comfortable with the option of Lasik in any form. PRK or No Cut LASEK can benefit those with apprehension over Lasik, or have thinner corneas and are not good candidates for the Lasik procedure all together. These procedures have also benefited those who have had RK (Radial Keratotomy) or Cornea Transplant.

Individuals with Keratoconus who have had their Keratoconus stabilized by Holcomb C3R ®, but have a residual can sometimes consider this less invasive laser treatment.

Below are more benefits of PRK or No Cut LASEK:

Less Invasive than Lasik procedure

Avoids deep flap created during traditional Lasik that could weaken the eye

Procedure takes about 5-10 minutes

No cuts

The PRK or No Cut LASEK procedure takes only 5-10 minutes per eye and involves the doctor removing a small layer of the surface of the cornea to reshape it. No flap is created, meaning no cuts and allows for peace of mind for many patients. The procedure can treat patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, mild prescription after other Keratoconus treatments, or astigmatism.

The PRK or No Cut LASEK procedure has many benefits and can help those who are to afraid to have traditional Lasik procedure or do not make a good candidate for that procedure.

I, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler, was in Vancouver last Thursday for the Olympic press conference with the United States Men’s Bobsled team.  “Why would an eye surgeon be attending an Olympic press conference?” is probably going through your mind.  No, I didn’t give up my day job to join the U.S. Bobsled team.  Patient Steve Holcomb and his story has become one of the most miraculous stories in the Olympics.  

Steve is the driver of the U.S. Bobsled team’s top sled called “The Night Train”.  He became legally blind two years ago due to a degenerative cornea condition called Keratoconus which just about forced him to retire and give up the sport.  The U.S. Olympic Committee and the Bobsled team refused to let him give up.  That’s when they discovered me.  I had the honor of helping Steve over his keratoconus condition with C3-R along with corrective lens implants.  C3-R saved Steve’s eyesight.  

Steve then went on to win the World Bobsled Championship gold– a U.S. first in 50 years.  

There lies the reason for me being part of the press conference last week.  There were plenty of TV crews and journalists.  

To see the full details about Steve’s miracle story, please click: www.BoxerWachler.com  

In 10  days, Steve and the Night Train will be going for Gold.  I will be there cheering for Steve and will be posting updates on this blog and tweeting at www.twitter.com/drboxerwachler
