Custom Wavefront LASIK eye surgery involves a procedure that creates a small, thin flap in the outer layers of the patient’s corneas. These flaps are folded back to allow a flying spot laser to reshape the surfaces of the corneas. The flaps are then repositioned and bonded permanently without sutures. In most cases, the procedure requires only about 5 minutes per eye, is quite comfortable for patients, and requires no shots or needles of any kind. Only eye numbing drops are utilized to prepare the patient.

Custom Wavefront LASIK eye surgery corrects various vision imperfections including:

• Myopia (nearsightedness);
• Hyperopia (farsightedness);
• Astigmatism;
• Presbyopia (need for reading glasses);
• Halo vision;
• Glared vision;
• Ringed vision;
• Reduced night vision;
• More…

Other facts about Custom Wavefront LASIK vision enhancement:

• Patients normally return to work the day after the procedure;
• Patients are requested to avoid swimming for 2 weeks;
• Working out can normally be resumed in 2-7 days;
• You may still need to wear contact lenses or glasses after healing;

The ultra-modern equipment used to perform Custom Wavefront LASIK procedures precisely monitors the movement or your eyes 4000 times every second. Even if a patient shifts during the procedure, absolutely no damage will occur. In fact, the energy from the laser is so mild that it cannot even be felt on bare skin. The equipment is fully capable of treating large diameter corneas and features a computerized flap protector. Infrared pupil measuring equipment has been specially designed to minimize the possibility of glare/halos and other nighttime vision disorders.

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 ”

Wavefront Lasik~

Custom Guided Wave-Front Lasik is a new technology that allows the surgeon to create a blueprint or finger print before starting the procedure. This gives the surgeon a base they can follow during the procedure. Each blueprint or fingerprint” is unique to that specific patient. It helps when surgeons have patients that are not normally good candidates for the procedure. This procedure is ideal for patients with distortions or irregularities.

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.

“Vision: Freedom in your Future”

Today there are millions of Americans who use glasses and contacts to visually function in everyday life. The original “Lasik” procedure made the first visual step to freedom. Now with the improved technologies the “Wave Front Lasik” procedure is changing improving visual freedom.

The Past-

Older versions of Lasik struggled simply because the doctors performing them didn’t have enough technology to overcome patients with visual distortion. Many people complained of complications, such as halos, glare , and other problems that hindered their vision more. The doctors struggled with ways to correct the problems and they merely got worse.

The Present-

The new “Wave Front Lasik” procedure takes around 5-10 minutes and can accurately map out the vision irregularities of each eye. Each eye has its own unique design and pin points the irregularities to perfection.

Pre-paring for “Wave Front Lasik”

The doctor applies the numbing drops to the eye and then makes an alignment marks with the patients sitting up looking straight ahead. The program will use these alignment marks as a reference during the procedure. The marks will help line up your eye perfectly during the procedure and help the laser adjust for accuracy during the procedure. A map is created for each eye.

The Procedure-

The patient is laid down and the laser device is placed up to the eye. The laser lets out lights which scatter across the eye fixing the irregularities in the patients vision.

Dr. Boxer Wachler is a pioneer in his field. The procedure is preformed with the utmost care and he can also fix the mistakes of past Lasik surgeries. Dr. Boxer Wachler is dedicated to his patients and uses the least invasive process possible. Just ask Ruben:

Ruben Gustiomus recently had the Wave Front Lasik procedure preformed he now has perfect vision and no longer needs glasses or contact lenses. Something he has needed his whole life. Ruben has not seen his alarm clock without them in over 20 years– until the day after his Lasik procedure!

Ruben Says “ It was the best thing I could have done in my life”

Sandra Kampinella has had vision problems most of her life. She has worn glass and contact lenses as long as she can remember. Recently Sandra went to Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler to have his Wave Front Lasik procedure done. Her experience? From the moment she picked up the phone and called she was amazed with her experiences.

Sandra stated “I felt safe and secure like I was in good hands” she continued to say “I didn’t even think of being afraid”

The Story-

The day of the procedure Sandra was having some nervous feelings the staff of Dr. Boxer Wachler gave Sandra a stuffed animal to keep with her. It was a boxer named “Cornelius” Sandra said Cornelius made her feel safe again. When she showed the pictures to her daughter—she asked about Cornelius and Sandra told her daughter how “Cornelius” protected her and kept her safe during her procedure.

About 6 months after her procedure she received a gift from Dr. Boxer Wachler. It was a mini version of “Cornelius”. This mini boxer’s name is “Iris”. Her daughter was excited to receive the gift and when her tooth was coming out she carried “Iris” around with her so she wouldn’t be afraid!

Sandra’s story is just one way to see the true patient care and the impact that Dr. Boxer Wachler’s office has on his patients. He goes above and beyond the call of “the doctor – patient” relationship. Sandra is thrilled with her results. She now has 20/20 vision and living a new life with her improved quality of vision.

The option to have Lasik procedure can be difficult. Though many strive to be freed from vision problems it is often difficult to undergo any procedure. Many questions arise after a Lasik procedure which long to be answered.

Below are a few tips for after care that may ease your worries:

Tip 1: Ask Questions- Though this is quite the obvious. Many feel insecure with doing this. Doctors understand that you are worried and they expect you to have some questions.

*Note: Remember to keep all questions simple and to the point. This will allow time for the doctors to answer your questions & those questions of others as well.

Tip 2: Make sure you understand your instructions- Getting clear and understandable instructions is very important. You may have already asked the same thing two or three times- if you still are not sure—ask again! Do not worry about what they think; or feeling incompetent… it is you that will be going home to do this. You must understand each step of your aftercare to ensure there are no complications.

Tip 3: Follow your instructions: Though its sounds petty and a bit on the childish side, doing as your doctor has instructed will help lower your risk for infections and complications. Although nothing is 100% your chances of a full and healthy recovery will be greater.

Sometimes after a procedure we forget to ask some things. Having someone with you that can ensure that everything is done and understood is very important. Making a list of things to ask before you leave is also a smart step to take. They want the best for you and your health should be first on your list!
