When I started researching LASIK I was committed to finding a surgeon who was dedicated to providing the highest quality care for their patients regardless of the price. I found that person in Dr. Wallace. Upon meeting Dr. Wallace I was immediately impressed with his gentle yet confident manner and his vast knowledge on the […]
Doctor Wallace says: Blair came to us having been referred by a good friend. I explained that with his very strong nearsightedness, there were at least three options: LASIK, surface treatment (PRK) and Visian ICL. Fortunately, he had very adequate corneal tissue thickness and perfectly normal corneal curvature, so I felt he’d do very nicely […]
Doctor Wallace says: Karen was originally seen in early ’07, and was advised that she would be a “good candidate” for vision correction care. She had initial treatment in May. Both eyes recovered excellent vision initially, but sharpness faded a little in the left eye, so in October ’07 we performed a tiny ‘enhancement’ treatment. […]
Doctor Wallace says: I advised PRK for Seth due to borderline low corneal thickness measurements. He understood that this would mean a slightly slower recovery of optimum vision than if treatment were rendered by LASIK, but he also appreciated my recommendation. Whether laser corrective care is done by surface treatment (PRK) or by LASIK (under […]
Doctor Wallace says: Steve is a very demanding fellow in an extremely demanding profession. Air traffic controllers need to pass very strict vision tests to maintain certification, for obvious reasons. Steve wanted to be able to pass without wearing glasses or contacts and came to us for a consultation. He chose to have his care […]
Doctor Wallace says: Brett is a really nice fellow who lives in South Carolina. His business brings him to LA not infrequently, and he found out about us through our website. He had visited several other laser centers near his home but was told that he was not a good candidate for treatment. When sometimes […]
Doctor Wallace says: Kristen is a slender, beautiful young woman who had a very strong prescription (-9.00 range nearsighted), and was quite motivated to have laser corrective care. Her corneal thickness was also on the slender side, not quite adequate to allow creation of a LASIK flap and accept all necessary laser sculpting. In situations […]
Doctor Wallace says: Michael is a very talented graphic designer with a very strong nearsighted prescription. With myopia in the -11.00 range he was near the uppermost limit of my comfort zone for correction by laser sculpting. We determined that in fact he was not a candidate for LASIK, due to the depth (amount) of […]
Doctor Wallace says: Michael had his LASIK in December ’04. He achieved incredibly good vision almost right away, and has maintained this *bionic* clarity for his entire first year after treatment. He has no glare, halo, night vision problems, or any of the other issues that sometimes affect patients after their care. We will take […]
Doctor Wallace says: Tyson had his laser treatment in September ’04. He did have rather large pupils (8.0mm in darkness) and we counseled him accordingly. We included him in a research study evaluating whether there was any advantage to “wavefront-guided” treatment compared to “conventional” treatment with the LADAR laser, in light of his large pupils.
