True Testimonials: No Cut Lasik & PRK

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

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 ”

New Technology: Understanding Lasik Repair

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Though lasik procedures have been around for a while now, the art of repairing damage from Lasik procedures is relatively new. Many patients who have had lasik by inexperienced surgeons or outdated equipment unfortunately suffered side effects or complications due to their lasik procedures. Technology has advanced since the day lasik procedures first started however the trust in most patients with complications due to lasik haven’t.

Learning that there are new technologies that can repair your complications is the first step, trusting another doctor with your eyes is a hard second step. The wonderful staff at the Boxer Wachler Vision Institute know this all too well. They provide new technologies that allow you to be relieved from your complication related conditions.

Dr. Boxer Wachler specializes in a technique called Wavefront-guided & Anti-halo Lasik which helps repair the complications of halos from former Lasik procedures. His staff provides a safe and inviting atmosphere to allow comfort and dependability in your doctors office.

Wavefront-Guided & Anti-Halo Lasik:

Wavefront Lasik is a new FDA approved procedure which allows the doctor to customize each procedure to the unique eyes of each patient. The procedure allows doctors to repair damage to the eyes due to prior lasik procedures or due to conditions suffered by the patients.

The new procedure takes about 10 minutes to preform and is done in the doctors office. There are many benefits to wavefront Lasik. Listed below are a few:

Benefits:

Procedure minimizes Halo or glare risks that occurred more frequently in Lasik procedures.

Specialized laser gives more accuracy & follows the eye more accurately during the procedure.

Specialists use a special flap-maker for each eye reducing the risk of infection during the procedure.

Monday, April 27th, 2009

While many of us have gone through the struggles of Lasik complications we must understand that technologies are ever changing.

With new advances in technology often a treatment can be performed to help improve the vision after a complication.

It is important to find a group of people who have had the same complications as you and know what you are going through. Not just for your support but support of your family as well. Know that your complications affect your loved ones just as much as they affect you.

Below are 3 easy steps to finding your Lasik Support Group:

 

1.] Research, Research, Research: It is important that you do your homework and look for a group that is suitable for you. Think about location, group history, and schedule. Make sure they all are reasonable and fit with your needs.

2.] Investigate Your Group Leader: Find out what the leaders history is, talk with some of their former/current group members when possible; and find out what kind of leader they are.

3.]Attend a Trial Meeting: Sit in on one of the meetings to get an idea on what is talked about, if they are considerate of each others feelings, and what atmosphere the group has; this will help you see first hand if you are a fit for the group.

Realizing that there are support groups out there for you and your family is the first step. Getting up and going to one is the next!
