Why LASIK in Detroit is so effective

With state of the art technology lasik in Detroit offers unprecedented visual correction and safety. This new technology covers many exciting innovations that have been developed over the past decade. When put together these innovations are known as bladeless LASIK or All Laser LASIK. The first of these innovations is the femto laser than is able to create a thin flap on the surface of the cornea, whichs is the 'front window' of the eye. This is the area that is also reshaped when performing Lasik , in just seconds. When the flap is replaced, the eye is almost back to its preoperative state, and is very comfortable. Another important innovation is the use of new technology that measures the correction your eye needs to see 20/20. Wavefront analysis allows the surgeon to evaluate all aspects of focus in the eye, instead of just relying on the prescription. More than 25 times the information that goes into a simple glass prescription is then fed to the laser that then imparts your own unique correction. This often enables you to see better than you were able to see before with your own glasses or contact lenses. The surgeon at the Laser Eye Care Center is uniquely qualified to perform your laser. Dr. William Goldstein is a Board Certified Ophthalmologists and was one of the first in Michigan to perform this procedure.

Implantable Contact Lens surgeon in Detroit

The implantable contact lens surgeon in Detroit is Dr. William Goldstein. The implantable contact lens, or ICL, has several advantages over LASIK surgery, and is becoming increasingly popular. Formerly viewed only as a replacement for LASIK in patients who were not candidates for LASIK surgery in Detroit, it has become a primary procedure of choice. The ICL has several advantages, in that it is a fully reversible procedure. In other words, if there is a problem, or a change in prescription, the lens can be removed or replaced. In LASIK surgery, the changes to the cornea are permanent. This is for better or for worse, since it means that the good that is done (getting rid of nearsightendness, for instance) is long-lasting. On the other hand, if any problems with glare and halos or night-vision occur, they are permanent. Another advantage to ICL surgery is that it can correct much higher degrees of correction, more than double the limit of LASIK. Most surgeons will not perform LASIK on patients over a -10.0 of nearsightedness. Dr. Goldstein has actually performed ICL surgery on patients with more than -20.0 of nearsightedness!

LASIK surgery in Michigan is safer than Contact Lenses!

In general, surgery is considered more dangerous than non-surgical solutions to problems. But is this always true? In the case of eye surgery, the answer may actually be NO! LASIK surgery in Michigan causes vision-threatening problems less often than contact lenses. This may be surprising to some, but any eye doctor will tell you the facts!

Most problems caused by contact lenses are due to overwear. Patients should strive to limit wear time to 12 hours each day, and then switch to glasses. Even lenses that are FDA approved for overnight wear can be dangerous. A British study showed that overnight wear increases the risk of serious infection fourteen times over daily wear!

Contact lenses can cause infection, corneal ulcers, corneal abrasions, punctate keratopathy, and sub-epithelial infiiltrates. Commonly, a specific problem called Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC) is caused by overwear, and may be difficult to cure.

It is very rare for LASIK to result in any form of infection, and when performed on proper candidates for surgery, results in excellent vision within 24 hours. Scarring, abrasions and ulcers are also very rare.

Consider LASIK surgery, for the safety of your eyes! Call Dr. Goldstein's office to arrange a free evaluation 586-323-2020, and check out his website, too!

Floaters in my vision!!

Is that normal??

That's a very common complaint when patients call the office. They are usually puzzled, often scared, and always eager to find out why they are seeing weird dots, floaters or webs inside their eye.

The only way to really assess this problem is with a complete, dilated eye exam. Even though the eyedrops are a hassle, they allow the ophthalmologist to look at the entire retina, including the optic nerve, blood vessels (veins and arteries), the macula and fovea, as well as the peripheral retina. The vitreous gel is usually optically clear, but sometimes floaters or strands can be seen within it.

But why are floaters a serious matter? Because in some cases, floaters can indicate a tear or detachment of the retinal, both of which are potentially sight-threatening issues. That's why when a patient calls my office with floaters, we get them in within 24-48 hours. A retinal detachment can be avoided if laser treatment around an early tear is performed.

In a very few cases, the detachment progresses, and a surgery on the inside of the eye (known as vitrectomy) needs to be performed. If none of these treatments work, the patient may go blind from this problem.

If you, or anyone you know, has floating dots, webs, or flashing lights in their vision, tell them not to wait!! Get it checked out, even if the symptoms seem to be getting better.
