Lasik Dallas – Dr William Boothe

Regular check ups for your vision should be required for each person. Ideally, the diagnosis of visual impairment should be held once a year in order to have time to detect any disease at an early stage of its development.

Diagnosis of impairment involves the analysis of the ability of the human eye to clearly see objects at distance and nearby, as well as an assessment of the field of vision and ability to distinguish colors.
As a rule, for the diagnosis of visual impairment, special tables are shown to the person, which consist of a set of numbers, letters, or other symbols of different sizes. The table can be fixed to a wall or displayed on it using a projector. The patient must determine what is shown by stating the letters, symbols, and numbers they see.First, a check of visual acuity in each eye is done when the patient is asked to cover one eye by hand, and uses their second eye try to consider the characters. Then visual acuity in both eyes is checked when the patient uses both eyes.

If the result of the diagnosis of visual impairment shows reduced vision, Dr. William Boothe establishes the causes of visual impairment. He may also suggest refraction analysis of the patient.
The study of human refractive error is to identify the intensity of the optical means for correcting vision, which are necessary to the patient in order to see normally.Errors in the study of refraction can occur when light rays are not focused on the center of the retina, but a little after it or before it. Diagnosis of visual impairment should involve the study of refraction if the person wears glasses or contact lenses.

Diagnosis of visual impairment, which defines the characteristics of the field of view, consists of estimation of peripheral vision, which is the field of vision that people can see when the eye is at a particular direction. Accordingly, the objects in the center of the field of view are seen more clearly, but in the peripherals, what the person sees is blurry and fuzzy.
How often should you undergo the process of diagnosis of visual impairment?

Check ups should be regular. If a person has not observed any violations of the visual function, the diagnosis of visual impairment should be conducted on a specific schedule:
- Almost immediately after birth;
- Semi-annually as a child;
- After a child’s 3rdbirthday;
- Before entering school, and every year after that;
- Every two years between the ages of twenty and sixty-five years;
- Annually after sixty-five years.

If you want to get an accurate diagnosis, you can go visit your local eye care professional. If you are interested in laser eye surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. William Boothe. Our eye center is located in Plano, Texas and have served over 100,000 patients.

A month ago, a miracle happened. I can finally see without contact lenses. Before my laser eye correction, I read many patient reviews and had many consultations. I stopped at the Boothe Eye Laser Center. Why? Dr. William Boothe of Boothe Eyecare was the first surgeon who recommended the IntraLase procedure which uses the iFC Advanced Femtosecond Laser. I was surprised and I asked him to tell me more about this option. Dr. Boothe said that it is the newest technology used to achieve the best result from laser surgery. The iFC Advanced Femtosecond Laser makes the cut more carefully and quickly, reducing the risk of irritation after surgery. I read many patient testimonials and many were initially afraid of how it would affect the eyes. Dr. William Boothe helped ease my worries and I immediately agreed to have the procedure done.

I would highly recommend IntraLase surgery to anyone who wants to end up with great eyesight and is being bothered with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Also I would highly recommend doing such a procedure with Dr. William Boothe and his staff because they are thorough all the way through. If anyone is looking into laser surgery I suggest they visit Boothe Eyecare.

IntraLase procedure gives you freedom

From start to finish my treatment under Dr. William Boothe and his miracle staff was comfortable, professional and friendly. I have never felt such sincere attention to patients by clinic staff. I wanted to improve my vision using a safe option. I was glad when Dr. Boothe introduced me to the newest technology for vision correction. The iFC Advanced Femtosecond Laser used for the IntraLase procedure was the best solution to my vision problem. This unique laser allows a neat cut on the retina so it positively affects the postoperative period. I trust that by using the iFC Advanced Femtosecond Laser to correct my vision, it gave me freedom from postoperative complications. Now I can see everything, no matter the distance. I forget about squinting and I do not worry of weather condition and how often my eyesight would change. I am happy because in the evening I can read and in the morning I wake up and see the alarm clock. Although these sound like very simple things, but they are important and taken for granted! I am forever grateful to Dr. William Boothe for allowing me to enjoy these simple pleasures…

Everything was perfect!!!

Through all my life I suffered from poor vision and I always used the glasses, which changed every year due to my prescription. I was tired and tried to find solution. I read many articles online about Lasik procedure and I wanted to improve vision by laser correction. When I visited Dr. Boothe I did not feel any discomfort. I was a good candidate for laser eye surgery. During the first consultation Dr. Boothe offered me a few kinds of laser surgery: Lasik, IntraLasik and IntraLase, which is a procedure performed by the iFC Advanced Femtosecond Laser. He thoroughly explained each option and all pros and cons of laser treatment. According to my eye conditions his assistant estimated the cost of my treatment, which included all needed procedures and medications. Dr. Boothe gave me time to think about what I wanted and I chose IntraLase because of the high tech equipment used and the accuracy it would provide. Everything was perfect. I underwent the laser surgery without pain, discomfort, and postoperative complications. My vision each day became better and better!! I would encourage anyone who will be a good candidate for laser eye surgery to have the IntraLase procedure. My visit to Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center changed my life for the better!

Most patients who suffer from refractive errors would like to correct their vision as precisely as possible. Many patients feel conflicted about whether to undergo LASIK procedure or to continue wearing contact lenses as a corrective measure. For many, LASIK surgery is actually a better alternative to contact lenses or eye glasses. People began wearing contact lenses because it helped them have a more active, unhindered life. Even today, many people believe that contact lenses are better than LASIK because wearing contact lenses does not involve undergoing a surgical procedure; however, Dr. William Boothe recommends LASIK as a safer alternative and better choice in comparison to contact lenses.

Contact lenses have many advantages when compared to eye glasses. By wearing contact lenses, the face’s physical appearance does not change. Since there is no hindrance from eyeglass frames, contact lenses provide a full field of vision. According to studies, however, the risks associated with contact lens use are much higher than the risks associated with LASIK eye surgery. Contact lenses are a foreign body placed inside the eyes, which increases the risk of infection and complication. Thus, wearers of contact lenses suffer from a higher rate of infection than LASIK patients. Contact lens users are prone to neovascularization, corneal ulcers, and other similar eye conditions.

There are complications associated with the LASIK procedure, but most of them are minor and can be corrected. According to research studies, the risk of eye infection from contact lens use is one in 2,000, whereas with LASIK only one out of 10,000 patients is at risk. Furthermore, the number of complications related to LASIK eye procedure is constantly diminishing with the advancement of technologies. The bladeless procedure and new generation microkeratomes are providing a higher level of accuracy and improved safety to patients. CustomVue LASIK, for example, is a new technology that provides better vision and reduces night time vision problems.

LASIK procedure may result in dry eyes, but it will disappear within 3 to 6 months. At the same time, contact lens users also experience dry eyes which can gradually result in the intolerance of contact lenses. This intolerance can lead to eye irritation and reduce the wearing time of contact lenses. The LASIK procedure can be performed at an average price of $2,200 for each eye. Contact lens users spend more than $10,000 on contact lens use, including the cost of lenses, resolving associated complications, and attending regular check-ups to maintain a valid prescription.

Dr. William Boothe says that LASIK surgical procedure is a long term investment, but it saves money, time, and provides more freedom and safety to the individual. Dependable, lasting vision can be achieved with the help of LASIK. By using contact lens, there will always be the risk of a lens popping out of the eye, thus causing vision impairment at any moment. Contact lenses also require daily cleaning, whereas LASIK provides a long term, hassle-free solution. Taking these factors into consideration, it is easy to see why the LASIK surgical procedure is a superior solution to contact lens use. Dr. Boothe is a skilled surgeon who can complete the LASIK procedure precisely and efficiently.

It has been three weeks after my IntraLasik surgery and I see better than I have ever seen before. My experience with Dr. Boothe and his center has been amazing! From counselors to doctors I have met really nice and open minded persons. So far I received good results. My last eye exam with Dr. Boothe was excellent and he says that there is a good chance I’ll have perfect vision. Now my friend that has some eyesight problems also went (I recommended him) to a free consultation with Dr. Boothe. My next follow up visit is supposed to be my last one, and I am thrilled that I decided to do this surgery.

I visited the Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center first in the end of December. After the first consultation I was pleased with my conversation with Dr. William Boothe and I was very satisfied with the overall service. It seemed that he knows what he is doing and he made observations that made sense to me.

Dr. Boothe said that IntraLastik surgery was the most suitable for my eye condition but I still hesitated. I came home and told my wife what his recommendations were. After consideration of all pros and cons I decided to call to center and schedule a date for my laser eye surgery.

On the first consultation with Dr. William Boothe they measured and found I had -3 in both eyes but after the IntraLastik procedure I have 1.0 vision! I experienced the difference between my vision before and after surgery, it is noticeable – I was driving on the third day after surgery and was able to notice many details along the way. In the first month after Lasik I felt dryness in my eyes, that was my only side effect after surgery. Particularly I noticed it when I was at work due to heavy load of working on a PC. I used the eyedrops he prescribed and the dryness went away after a few weeks.

My life can now be divided to two parts – uncomfortable life before surgery and my ”superman” life after surgery. Thanks to all the people who took part in my treatment.

If you are thinking of doing a laser eye surgery, I would recommend that you go to Dr. William Boothe to have it done. He is worthy of the high praise I read on this website.

My husband wore glasses all of his life. He used to be short-sighted and for years he hesitated whether he should undergo a laser eye surgery. Despite the fact that wearing glasses is limiting, he became very used to wearing glasses and was not troubled by them as much as I was.

After the first consultation with Dr. William Boothe my husband was pretty much sold on the idea. Dr. Boothe managed to dissolve his doubts. He explained that some complications can occur as a result of laser eye surgery, however they can be minimized by using the most advanced technologies. Also we had the opportunity to talk with patients who did Lasik at Boothe Laser Center and were waiting for a follow-up. Everyone was very satisfied not only with the results of laser surgery but also with the respectful staff.

My husband was operated personally by Dr. Boothe. He is grateful to everyone in the center who helped to improve his vision. Now my husband is getting accustomed to living without glasses….

Life without glasses

I had always wanted laser eye surgery because I have been very short-sighted. I dislike wearing thick glasses and contact lenses. I like swimming and other kinds of sports but lately it is impossible to do them due to my vision. It is scary to swim without glasses, I really could not see anything around me. I heard good things from my friends about Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center. I was told about the professional treatment, how they are using the newest technologies, and of course the excellent result after laser surgery performed at this Center. I was prompted to go to visit Boothe’s Center.

I felt anxious before the first consultation with Dr. Boothe. Nevertheless Dr. Boothe and his assistant made me feel confident enough and comfortable. He explained to me all the details of my future laser eye surgery. I have had many questions and Dr. Boothe took extra time to gave me full answers.

I decided to have surgery at Boothe Laser Center. My vision before surgery was -3.00 & -4.00. During the surgery, I didn’t worry because I felt that Dr. Boothe was the best surgeon in whole world to be performing the surgery. I had very dry eyes for a couple of days after the procedure. I put the eye drops that Dr. Boothe told me to use, I felt better and my vision got sharper.

Now, I am very happy with my almost perfect vision and glad I had done it at Boothe’s Center. I think I could not have had a better surgeon than Br. Boothe. I received the best care from Dr. Boothe and members of his staff. I wish that I had done LASIK earlier. I am pleased to tell every one about my experience at Boothe Eyecare.
