I had RK in the early 90’s. Does this make Lasik impossible? |
Dear Tom,
I am the only eye surgeon in the USA who is commonly and accurately enhancing post-RK patients. The reason is multifold, as follows:
- I did my Cornea Fellowship under the “Father of American Refractive Surgery, George Waring, who was the surgeon who conducted the 1st FDA study of refractive surgery, that found that RK is never stable, but progressive, so eventually those people become farsighted and can’t see up close
- I have the only practice in the USA that exclusively performs LASEK, not LASIK
- You can’t enhance RK with LASIK or you will create “pizza slices” in your cornea which will fall out
- The only safe way to enhance RK is with LASEK
- Therefore, I have performed more of these procedures than any other surgeon in the US
- I published a paper describing this technique with one of my Fellows about a decade ago
Your medical insurance may also partially pay for this as it is now a “surgical complication” and not “purely cosmetic”.
So please call my office and book your SECOND OPINION with us, you MUST SAY IT IS A SECOND OPINION NOT A FREE CONSULTATION as that is ONLY for people who have NOT had ANY eye surgery before.
I will put you in touch with another happy post-RK LASEK enhancement patient when you come in; we are the only center that lets you speak to other patients who have no financial interest in your doing the procedure or not, so you have a good understanding about what to expect “direct from the horse’s mouth”.
Hope this helps and SEE you soon!
Yours
