Lasik Surgeon Dr. Salz
Dr. Salz
has had over 22 years experience in corneal refractive surgery.
Dr. Salz has been and still is one of the principal investigators
for the FDA trials involving the use of lasers to successfully
and safely correct most vision problems. If you are experiencing
any the following vision problems
contact Dr. Salz today.
Myopia
is nearsightedness. A myopic eye can see near objects clearly.
Distant objects are seen clearly only with the help of glasses,
contact lenses or refractive surgery. Light entering the eye
focuses in front of the retina.
Hyperopia
is farsightedness. A farsighted eye can see distant objects
more clearly than near objects, however, neither of them is
in crisp focus, especially after the age of forty. Farsightedness
can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive
surgery. Light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina.
Astigmatism
is a condition that occurs when the cornea has more than one
curvature (like a football as opposed to a basketball). These
multiple curvatures bend light differently and blurred vision
is the result. Light entering the eye focuses on or in front
of the retina, multiple focal points.
A presbyopic
eye cannot see near objects clearly when distance vision is
corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It usually occurs
after the age of forty. Presbyopia can be corrected with bifocal
glasses or reading glasses. It can also be corrected with
refractive surgery.
