Enhancing Your Visual Performance

Lasers and eyes are fast becoming friends in the world of today's medical treatment for nearsightedness. Laser eye surgery has grown in the last decade in popularity and in better technique. And top-of-the line treatment is available at the Texas Tech Physician Laser Vision Institute, 6630 Quaker.

Drs. David McCartney, Clint Gregg, David Lamberts, James Boop and Kelly Frasier are specially trained ophthalmologists who perform the LADARVision Excimer Laser treatment for qualified patients from across the South Plains.

With this procedure, the laser reshapes the cornea, removing corneal tissue smaller than the width of a single human hair. This usually takes less than one minute of actual laser time. The entire procedure only takes about 15 minutes per eye and is relatively painless. Most patients are able to return to work within 48 hours and visual recovery is usually within a few days to several weeks.

Good candidates

Good candidates for the procedure are at least 21 years old, have a stable prescription for glasses or contact lenses one year prior to surgery, are free of certain diseases of the cornea or retina, have realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment and, as with any procedure, understand that complications may occur.

The physicians of the Laser Eye Institute invite you to find out more. Schedule a free consultation to determine whether you are a good candidate. Call for an appointment at 743-7777.
