Lasik Dallas – Dr William Boothe

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.
