In vivo comparison of near infrared lasers for skin weldingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract The skin closure abilities of near infrared lasers and suturing were compared by histological examination and mechanical tensile tests during a 21-day healing period. One-centimeter incisions on the dorsal skin of Wistar rats were treated by one of the closing techniques: (a) soldering, using an 809 nm diode laser (0.5 W, 5 s) with 25% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 2.5 mg/ml indocyanine green (ICG); (b) direct welding with a 980 nm diode laser (0.5 W, 5 s); (c) direct welding with a 1,070 nm fiber laser (0.5 W, 5 s); (d) suturing. Six spots (79.61&n...

In 1995 we were one of the first ten LASIK providers in the United States. This was a new procedure at that time almost 15 years ago, and since that time the success of that procedure has blossomed into an industry with over 10,000 LASIK providers today. It is certainly impossible to say who or where is the very best LASIK providers, but it is always good to be considered amongst the best. When one reviews the doctors and centers picked for the prestigious Goldline independent consumer research of best or most dependable LASER VISION providers in the last few years, it is obvious that they have picked ver...

It is important to distinguish real technological advancements, from marketing hype and this is especially true when it comes to laser vision correction. There is not much question that I-LASIK is the latter of these in that it was the matching of two existing technologies. The VISX laser was one of the first approved lasers, and although there have been some improvements, it is still a broad beam first generation technology which is limited as compared to many newer lasers that have been available for a number of years since. Yes, there is a good chance of getting to 20/20 vision with VISX but no greater...

A hospital concierge provides similar services to those of a hotel concierge, but serve patients and employees as well'.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on plantar fasciitis documented by the ultrasonographic appearance of the aponeurosis and by patients’ pain scores. Thirty individuals with diagnosis of unilateral plantar fasciitis were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, but 25 participants completed the therapeutic protocol. The contralateral asymptomatic fascia was used as control. After enrolment, symptomatic individuals were randomly assigned to receive LLLT, or identical placebo, for 6 weeks. Ultrasonography was performed...

20/20 vision and what it means in laser vision correctionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The number which is most familiar to people when we discuss vision is 20/20. This is so much so that there is a television show with this title. 20/20 simply means being able to see at 20 feet what a "normal person" can see at 20 feet. There is a line on the eye chart which signifies this level of vision. Therefore 20/40, the minimum vision to drive, is that vision which can be seen at 20 feet that a "normal person" could see if they were farther away, in fact twice as far at 40 feet. While this is important, and a standard measure of vision, it does not explain all of what...

There are several web sites that track the cost of LASIK procedures by geographic region, by year, and by other metrics. It is surprising how little the costs of this procedure have changed over the last 10 years, and how little it varies between providers. There is a range of costs which are certainly more in places like New York or Los Angeles, but in the midwest including Colorado, these costs are fairly stable. In general LASIK costs between $1000 and $3000 per eye or $2000 to $6000 total. For the quality centers which offer blade free LASIK with state of the art lasers, the average cost is...

Dry EyeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The eye is covered in a tear layer, and we all know that tears can be increased with stress, sorrow, or even the wind, sometimes rolling down the cheek in a torrent. The tears both keep the eye clean and also are the critical front optical surface of the eye. What is less appreciated, is that a decrease in tears can actually result in blurred vision. This blurry vision is many times thought to be due to some other problem than a dry eye cause. We have to understand that the tears are actually made of three separate layers. The outer or lipid oil layer slows tear evaporation. The main lay...

There is a perception that if one goes to a large corporate entity, one will get better value than a small boutique individually owned store. While this has proven true for big box stores like Walmart or Home Depot, it is not necessarily true for service based businesses. As an example, large corporate tax preparation entities are not going to be less expensive than your local tax accountant.

Great results require great data. When we reach the step of applying laser energy to the eye, we are on almost the last step of a checklist that has many steps preceding it.

We need to understand their visual needs, what they are currently wearing (contact lenses or glasses or nothing) and how effective these have been.

LASIK -- What does it mean?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
LASIK is an acronym which means the letters each stand for a word. In this case it is Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis. This is definitely a mouthful, and when we were in the early 1990's trying to come up with a word describing this procedure, this seemed to make sense. It was preceded by another acronym, ALK, which stood for Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty, and was the non-laser predecessor of the LASIK procedure. We began doing ALK in the early 1990's and this was a procedure where a flap was made with a microkeratome, some tissue was cut using the same microkeratome with some specia...
