Doctor Boothe Eye Care

Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center is very popular among patients and visitors from other countries because Dr. William Boothe has a wide experience in laser eye surgery. He uses surgical skill and effective methods of treatment in order to help his patients be free of glasses or contact lenses.

Laser eye surgery has proved to be a highly accurate and safe approach to getting rid of your glasses or lenses. Accurate diagnosis is a guarantee of success. We should note that not everyone can get laser correction. In fact, success depends on how precisely identified indications and contraindications are for laser surgery. Dr. William Boothe is always glad to offer a wide range of therapeutic measures.
Laser vision correction is performed for patients aged 18 to 45 years who suffer from nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, presbyopia (age-sightedness) and other combinations. Before surgery, the patient will undergo a comprehensive three-hour diagnostic vision exam. During the eye exam you will work with the radiologist who will take a photo of your eye and will scan the cornea. Finally, Dr. Boothe will do complex check and determine the structure and thickness of the cornea, expand your pupils, check the eyeball, and measure the intraocular pressure and volume of the pupil.

Laser eye surgery is performed under local anesthesia by using anesthetic eye drops. In the first stage of surgery, Dr. Boothe precisely separates the top layer of the cornea. In the second stage, Dr. Boothe uses the laser and creates a new cornea shape. Laser surgery is painless and is carried out one eye at a time. Today, there are techniques that allow the surgery is performed on both eyes at the same time.

At Boothe Eye Center you are able to choose a method of treatment for each step of surgery that will meet your requirements. Today, IntraLasik is a more popular method, because it is a more accurate and safe method of laser correction. During the first step Dr. Boothe makes the incision on the cornea, and the corneal flap is created using a modern computerized IntraLase laser device. In the second stage a corneal excimer laser, which adapts to the individual parameters of the cornea eye, is used to reshape the cornea. Such customized treatment guarantees optimal results.
After the IntraLasik procedure your vision will stabilize more quickly than with any other methods of operation. It completely eliminates the risk associated with the use of a surgical knife. As result, accuracy and visual acuity is increased. This type of surgery is suitable even for those who in the past have been contraindicated for laser vision correction: patients with very wide pupils and with very thin corneas, and high degrees of myopia and astigmatism.
