Does LASIK Cause Dry Eye?

2010-04-15T10:59:00.004-04:00

Dry Eye Syndrome (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca) affects many people whether they have had LASIK or not. Dry eyes are the result of either insufficient or poor quality tear film production. The human body produces tears to not only keep the eye moist and comfortable, but tear film delivers nutrients to the eye and provides clearer vision as well.

During your LASIK procedure, whether there the surgeon creates a corneal flap or you have a surface treatment such as PRK, the nerve endings that transmit messages alerting your brain to send more tears to your eyes are disrupted and will take some time to heal. Since your nerve endings are not able to relay this need, you must take over the responsibility temporarily and manually lubricate your eyes. This is the reason that you are put on a regime of artificial tears.

Although many factors can contribute to dry eye, there are a number of remedies to help alleviate the discomfort associated with the dryness. The normal progression would be for your eye doctor to start with over-the-counter artificial tear drops that range in thickness, depending on a patient's needs or he/she may suggest nutritional supplements, then move to the possibility of punctal plugs then to a prescription drop such as RESTASIS®.

Don't let the fear of dry eyes prevent you from being glasses or contact lens-free!! Bladefree LASIK is clinically proven to help reduce many of the dry eye issues resulting from LASIK procedures.

Whether you have dry eyes pre or post-operatively, we can help! Ask our doctor what may be best for you!!

Co-Managing After Your Lasik

2010-02-05T11:56:00.004-05:00

Co-Management

What is it and Why is it important?

After your LASIK procedure you will want to make sure that your investment in your vision is protected!! You can ensure that your eyes are healing appropriately, that your vision is remaining stable and that any post-operative concerns are addressed by adhering to the suggested follow-up schedule. These appointments can be scheduled either with us, at Clear Advantage in Portsmouth, or with any of our fully qualified co-managing eye doctors.

These appointments are 5-10 minutes long and the typical follow-up schedule would be:
1 Day - at Clear Advantage w/ Dr. Peters
1 Week - either at Clear Advantage or with comanaging doctor
1 Month - at comanaging doctor
3 Month - at comanaging doctor
1 Year - at comanaging doctor

If you have an established relationship with your existing eye doctor, or if you live a distance away from Portsmouth, this is a great opportunity for you! We have a number of optometrists throughout the New England area that are fully qualified to see you after the one day visit and best of all, there is no extra charge to do so!! Perhaps your regular eye doctor is already on our comanagement list !

Don't let travel time for appointments get in the way of improving your vision!!

What's an FSA?

2009-10-16T12:14:00.003-04:00

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA's)are becoming more and more popular, being offered by many companies as an option to your existing benefits package. Putting aside pre-tax dollars to use for medical expenses not covered by your insurance carrier is a smart way to save even more of your hard earned money. And because the money is taken out of your pay "PRE-TAX", your savings can be as high as 38% (depending on your tax bracket).

So whether you have extra FSA dollars left over at the end of the year, or if you are looking at putting away tax free dollars next year, LASIK is a FSA eligible expense!

Set up your evaluation today by calling 603-501-5000 or request additional information at www.ClearAdvantageLaser.com

Custom or Traditional LASIK?

2009-10-05T08:53:00.003-04:00

What makes "customized" or Zyoptix LASIK different from "traditional" LASIK?

Traditional LASIK, treats for a patient's prescription alone, and although many patients with lower prescriptions and no night vision difficulties receive excellent results with this treatment, it may not be for everyone.

But what makes Zyoptix, customized treatment a better option for you? There are many factors that may make you a better candidate for a Zyoptix customized LASIK treatment. Having a higher prescription, larger level of astigmatism, larger pupils or poor quality night vision all may play a part in determining if you would receive the best results with a Zyoptix treatment.

During your intitial evaluation appointment you will undergo an advanced diagnostic screening process using the industry's leading aberrometer called the Zywave from Bausch & Lomb. The Zywave collects data from over 9,000 points on each individual eye, which enables the surgeon to plan a treatment that is specific to not only YOU, but each of YOUR individual eyes, creating a truly personalized treament.

At the conclusion of your initial evaluation appointment at Clear Advantage Vision Correction Center our doctors will review and discuss all of your diagnostic testing results with you, to determine which of our procedures would best suit YOUR visual needs and why.

Find out which of our procedures suits YOU!

What is LASIK??

2009-09-03T09:48:00.003-04:00

What do you know about LASIK? For many of us, the answer is "not a lot"! You may know that LASIK is an eye surgery that corrects your vision so you won't have to wear glasses or contact lenses. That's true. . . but how does it correct your vision??

Simply put, LASIK corrects your vision by "reshaping" your cornea so that light coming into your eye is focused correctly on the optic nerve and is translated into a clear picture for your brain.

The reshaping of the cornea is actually a 2-Step process. The first step is to get to the cornea (create a flap). The second step is to use the laser to reshape the cornea, thus correcting any refractive errors that make vision blurry or distorted.

For a more thorough explanation, click here to see our surgeon, Dr. N.Timothy Peters explain the LASIK process.

Is LASIK right for you??? Find out! Simply call our office at (603) 501-5000 or 866-30-CLEAR to have our friendly staff answer any questions you have or schedule a free evaluation with our doctors at Clear Advantage !
