Phakic IOL (intraocular lens), also known as Visian Implantable Collamer Lens or ICL is a rising alternative to LASIK eye surgery and PRK for correcting moderate to severe myopia and can in some cases actually produce superior vision when compared to laser refractive surgery options such as Lasik and Lasek.
On June 20, 1989, a US patent was officially granted to Gholam A. Peyman, MD, a Persian doctor and inventor. The patent granted was for a new technique to modify the corneal curvature of the human eye by performing a surgical procedure in which a flap in the cornea is cut with a blade, the flap is opened exposing the corneal bed, the corneal surface ablated and the flap sealed.
If you were asked what the best purchase you ever made was, would you know the answer? For many, believe it or not, it’s Lasik eye surgery.
I really enjoyed being back at my old haunts at WDIV to do a segment kicking off the Yaldo Eye Center’s “See Michigan Clearly” Contest on the “Live in the D” show.
Correcting your vision with Lasik could be one of the greatest gifts you could do for yourself or a loved one. However, your eyes are precious and it really is important that before undergoing Lasik, you find a doctor that you trust and have confidence in.
Many people ask “Am I a Good Candidate for Lasik?”, this questions can be answered with this article or speaking with a physician at the Yaldo Eye Center
Dr. Yaldo Brings CATz Lasik to Michigan. He has introduced the worlds most precise lasik treatment available to Michigan, surpassing even the most advanced wavefront guided lasik options.
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.
