February 5, 2009 Boston, MA. Boston Eye Group is a well respected medical practice specializing in laser eye surgery. The firm’s staff physicians perform thousands of procedures yearly helping patient’s overcome poor eyesight and other serious eye conditions. The firm is lead by Dr. Samir Melki, a board certified Ophthalmologist with a sub-specialty in Cornea and Laser Vision Correction. A growing number of people are choosing to undergo the Laser eye surgery procedure known as iLasik. More than 2 million people in the USA have had laser eye surgery and demand is growing as awareness of its benefits grows among consumers. This new development in laser vision correction is helping people see without glasses or contacts, freeing them to live normally. Athletes and former athletes are also choosing to have their vision improved with iLasik. The success rate and satisfaction being reported is spreading the word about laser vision correction.
Boston Laser, a leading laser surgery clinic is lead by one of the renowned experts in the field of laser assisted surgery. Dr. Samir Melki is a leading authority on Cataract, Corneal and Laser Vision Correction Surgery. After more than 6,000 procedures, his experience and technical skills are much sought after by patients. It’s their only set of eyes and they are looking for specialists with the skill and proven technology.
For athletes, laser eye surgery can give a new lease on life. Recently, legendary Boston Red Sox baseball player Jim underwent the laser eye surgery procedure to help him improve his vision. These common age-related visual acuity problems are called refractive errors. Over time, the shape of the eye may change causing light refraction errors on the back of the eye.
Military Pilot Roles Require Perfect Unassisted Vision
In the US military where battle conditions place extreme physical demand on pilots, pilots cannot wear contacts and thus must undergo this type of eye surgery to improve their vision. Tests showed strong visual improvement and great satisfaction with the outcomes by observers in the US military.
For regular non-military patient’s the results have been notable. An independent review showed results of Boston Eye Group’s own patient’s vision eye correction procedures have been outstanding. 95 are seeing 20/25 or better and 100% are seeing 20/40 or better. When you consider that many incoming patients have poor vision, these results are some of the industry’s best success rates.
One laser eye surgery patient, Kerry Mahoney, says my vision is great. Vision is 20/20 and I don’t have to wear glasses or contacts” “Before my Lasik, my vision was so bad where I couldn’t see far away or read. I had to have a book right up to my face to read it. The procedure is very simple, easy and quick and the whole thing takes about 10 minutes.”
The secret to success in Intralase (Laser Assisted in situ keratomileusis) is in using lasers to cut a corneal flap on the eye. Formerly surgical blades were used. The new laser assisted method of eye surgery creates less refractive errors and lessens complications. Some estimates are that Intralase is 100 times more accurate than blade techniques.
According to a study presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery Laser vision correction yielded strong visual outcomes and high patient satisfaction among US air pilots. Refractive error among military patients ranged from +6 D to –13 D. 95% of these naval, army and airforce patients said laser vision correction improved their effectiveness as pilots.
