I am a retired ophthalmologist.. I had RK in 1990 and have have experienced progressive hyperopia for the past 10 years. I also developed what I consider unstable astigmatism. I have been using 2% Pilocarpine for the same period to improve my vision which is now quite blurry, with varying refractions. I had corneal topography last week at Weill Cornell. It was suggested i try scleral lenses. I am interested in what you think about my situation.
Dear retired eye surgeon,
I did my Fellowship in Cornea & Refractive Surgery at Emory in 1996-1997. This was in the dawn of refractive surgery, & was one of the only refractive fellowships in the USA (my practice’s official SF Match Fellowship is still one of few in the USA now)
My mentor was George Waring, widely known as the “Father of American Refractive Surgery”. He did the very 1st NIH NEI FDA study of refractive surgery, the PERK study, which discovered the Progressive Effect of RK, which isn’t stable because the incisions must be 95% deep to be effective, and cause progressive hyperopia
Because I specialize in LASEK not LASIK I’ve treated more RK patients than any medical center in NYC including all of Cornell. I’ve had amazing results, & have gotten most patients out of contacts. Certainly I can help you avoid scleral lenses
You can speak to one of these patients when you come in. We’re the only center that allows this
You may first need CXL to stabilize your cornea. Insurance would pay for that. You’d have to pay for the LASEK because it’d be considered “cosmetic”
How did you find me?
Please call for a Second Opinion
I’m cc’ing my Fellows who’re looking for more publications. They could publish a small case series or case report about this if they’d like
Please remind my secretary to make a WhatsApp group for you when you call. See you soon👍
Yours
