AFTER 1 YEAR, STILL DOING EXTREMELY WELL

AFTER 1 YEAR, STILL DOING EXTREMELY WELL

Doctor Wallace says: Jeanette had her treatment in September ’04. This profile was posted in August, ’05. We recommended PRK to Jeanette due to corneal thickness concerns. She did not have adequate thickness to support both creation of the LASIK flap and optical sculpting treatment for her rather high correction. PRK (also called LASEK, epi-LASIK, […]

LASIK & PRK ARE ALLOWED BY US ARMY

Doctor Wallace says: Jim came to us interested in vision correction options appropriate to his military career. While the current US Army policy allows corrective surgery by either PRK or LASIK, a combination of factors in Jim’s particular case suggested PRK might be a better option. We performed his care in January of ’05. Jim […]

A NURSE, WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS

A NURSE, WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Doctor Wallace says: Jessica had her laser treatment in May ’04. Being a nurse, she had very high expectations about the precision of the procedure, sterile technique, and all the little details that separate a very good surgeon from others.

TIRED OF GLASSES, WANTED BETTER CLARITY

TIRED OF GLASSES, WANTED BETTER CLARITY

Doctor Wallace says: Jacques and I had a long discussion about his situation and his hopes. He had a very small prescription, to begin with, and I actually told him, “Some people are very happy to have as small a prescription after LASIK as what you have before”. But he wanted better clarity and was […]

OFF TO COSTA RICA FOR A SURFING TRIP

OFF TO COSTA RICA FOR A SURFING TRIP

Doctor Wallace says: Some people become concerned when I advise PRK in preference to LASIK. There is a widely-held public perception that for some reason, PRK “isn’t as good as” LASIK. I hope that Elda’s profile will help put those concerns to rest. I advised PRK for Elda in part because of her slightly thin […]

SUPERBLY SHARP & CLEAR

SUPERBLY SHARP & CLEAR

Doctor Wallace says: Pragna had LASIK originally in August ’03. Her left eye was spectacularly clear almost from the moment of surgery. By comparison, the right eye lagged a little in sharpness, so we performed enhancement care in January ’04. She is now superbly sharp and clear in both eyes, and is extremely happy. Pragna […]

VISITED 5 OTHER CENTERS FIRST

VISITED 5 OTHER CENTERS FIRST

Doctor Wallace says: I first saw Jeremy in June, 2000. Prior to seeking consultation with me, he had visited 5 other laser centers. Nobody at any of the other centers alerted him to the potential problems that can arise in treating eyes with large pupils. He was also rather put off by the high-pressure sales […]
