Welcome to DR WILLIAM BOOTHE
Traditional LASIK surgery is thought to handle Lower order aberrations - your near or farsightedness and astigmatism. Custom LASIK is supposed to correct both lower and higher order aberrations - night vision and halos around lights. Before going any further, if you do not have Higher order aberrations, (about 15% of patients have significant higher order aberrations) then Traditional LASIK will probably work for you.Of the refractive laser procedures, LASIK has the shortest time for vision recovery. The protective corneal flap allows for overnight sealing of the corneal surface which brings an end to scratchiness and irritation. As the laser treatment is performed under the corneal flap rather than on the surface, there is generally no haze. Postoperative eye drops are used for the first 7 days and are usually not required after that. Generally, there is little to no postoperative pain.
Regular vision screening for children can help detect and prevent complications from common eye problems, including strabismus, amblyopia, and refractive errors. Learn about recommendations for Pediatric vision screening and how your child's vision can be tested.
