A patient recently asked Dr. Yaldo, “Is it possible to be both nearsighted and farsighted in the same eye, and can Lasik could also cure my astigmatism? The simple answer is that it’s impossible to be both nearsighted and farsighted in the same eye.  It is like a number being both positive and negative at once.

I’m still waiting for somebody to tell me, “Oh, I love my reading glasses!” And since virtually everyone aged 45 or older has issues with close vision, reading glasses are a part of life that must be dealt with.

The Yaldo Eye Center offers free evaluations to determine a patient’s candidacy to receive Lasik surgery. The other good news (besides the fact that the evaluation is free!) is that well over 90% of those who seek Lasik at the Yaldo Eye Center are determined to be good candidates.

QUESTION:
Does your vision have to be 20/20 to be a surgeon and will LASIK be a good option for bad eyesight?

ANSWER:
Being a surgeon requires excellent vision. Some types of surgeons require more excellent vision than others. Microsurgeons such as ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons need particularly sharp vision. Know that people who have 20/25 or even 20/30 see very well, and in my opinion can function quite well as surgeons, again, depending on the visual demands. Orthopedic surgeons, for example, tend to work with larger instruments, and heavier sutures, which may allow for less than 20/20 vision. And, as time goes on, we are seeing more “robotic” surgery (ie DaVinci) in various fields, which will extend a mortal surgeons’ limited dexterity (and possibly vision) to superhuman levels.

QUESTION:
Is it possible to go through LASIK surgery before 22 years of age?

ANSWER:
Yes, most lasers are FDA approved to treat patients 21 and older (some lasers are approved for 18 and over). More importantly, you and your surgeon should evaluate whether your vision is stable, or if your myopia has been steadily increasing over the last year or two. If your prescription is not stable, you may become slightly nearsighted again following your LASIK. And finally, at -11D your prescription is severe. It is vital that your corneas be thick enough to allow for a full correction.
If you are between 21 and 45 and nearsighted, you may be a candidate for the Visian ICL. Unlike traditional contact lenses that go on the eye’s surface, the Visian ICL is positioned inside the eye between the iris (the colored part of the eye) and the natural lens, which stays indefinitely. In an emergency, it can also easily be removed from the eye.

QUESTION:
Which is best, iLASIK or zLASIK?

ANSWER:
iLASIK and zLASIK are simply terms coined by various equipment manufacturers to “brand” their version of custom, blade-free LASIK. If you’re really asking, “what is the best brand of equipment to have for my LASIK?” the answer is all of the major excimer laser (Visx, Allegretto, Bausch & Lomb, Nidek) and femtosecond laser (IntraLase, Ziemer) manufacturers offer excellent products which when used in skilled surgeons’ hands, deliver outstanding results. Much like a race car and driver, you need to have great equipment AND a great surgeon. Technical specs on a laser can often be less important than who is behind the laser operating it. Corneas should be of normal shape, without signs of keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or other structural abnormalities. Corneal thickness should be sufficient to allow a 275 to 300 micron residual bed minimum after ablation. Pentacam is currently the gold standard when it comes to measuring and analyzing the shape of the cornea preoperatively.

At Yaldo Eye Center, we pride ourselves in having the
capability to offer our patients a complete selection of vision
correction procedures that can be customized to their unique needs
and provide the best possible outcomes. That’s why we’re excited to
offer the Visian ® ICL™ (implantable Collamer® lens) at our center,
an advanced vision correction option for our potential patients that
is growing in popularity. To date more than 450,000 Visian ICLs have
been implanted in patients worldwide. The Visian ICL is a thin, soft
lens made of Collamer implanted in the eye to permanently correct
moderate to severe nearsightedness.

VISIAN ICL FAQs
The Visian ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) is made of an advanced
soft-material lens, composed of 100% biocompatible collagen
copolymer, that provides not only UV protection and permanent vision
correction, but also a quality of vision that is sharper, clearer,
and more vivid than that what one can achieve with glasses or contacts. Additionally, unlike LASIK, the Visian ICL procedure does
not permanently alter the shape of your cornea. There is no maintenance associated with the lens, and it is intended to remain in place as long as you are satisfied with your vision. If at any point your vision changes or you wish to have them removed, it can
be done easily and because your cornea is in its natural state, you are able to pursue other vision correction options.

What are the advantages of the Visian ICL?
