LASIK & Astigmatism-What to Know

“LASIK for astigmatism is not only possible-but we use it all the time as an excellent way to correct vision”, said Corneal Specialist and LASIK Surgeon JoAnn C. Chang, M.D. of D’Ambrosio Eye Care. “Astigmatism is something that is often confusing to patients. Also, in addition to being confused by what astigmatism is, a lot of people are under the incorrect impression that having astigmatism means you can’t have laser eye surgery such as LASIK to correct your vision”, commented Dr. Chang.

Here is what you need to know about LASIK and astigmatism. First, astigmatism is one of the common types of refractive problems that cause blurry vision. Common refractive, or eye focus problems, include nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Astigmatism usually results from an unequal curvature of the cornea, the outermost clear dome in the front of the eye that causes the eye to have two different curvatures and thus two different focal points. This can make images look more blurry at a specific orientation so that things horizontally are blurred or things vertically are blurred, depending on the direction of the astigmatism. Astigmatism can be very annoying visually and can even cause headaches and many visual symptoms apart from the blurriness itself. The visual distortions caused by astigmatism in healthy eyes are correctable with eyeglasses, contact lenses and laser vision correction such as LASIK. During the early years after the initial FDA approval of laser vision correction, the treatment of astigmatism was not yet approved and released in the United States. Shortly thereafter all of the FDA approved lasers were able to be programmed for astigmatism correction and received FDA approval to do so. Astigmatism has been correctable with Laser Eye Surgery for more than 15 years in the United States. “Today, as LASIK surgeons, we are able to accurately measure and treat all types of astigmatism with high degrees of precision and predictability,” said Dr. Chang.

If you or someone you know has astigmatism and would like to be less dependent or possibly even free from the hassle of glasses and contact lenses for seeing at distance, please call D’Ambrosio Eye Care at 800-325-3937 for your free consultation for laser eye surgery for the laser vision correction of astigmatism.

Progressive No-Line Eyeglass Lens Choices

Considering there are hundreds of progressive lens designs how do you choose which is right for you? You don’t. You leave that up to the licensed professionals at D’Ambrosio Eye Care. We are here to guide and educate you so you can obtain optimal vision at all distances.

Early progressive lens designs had smaller zones of clear vision that resulted in frequent head movements and the need to move your head toward the object to see it clearly. This blurry vision in the periphery gives wearers a “swim” effect during quick head movement, making new wearers less likely to adapt. Unfortunately, most of these lenses are still on the market. Why? Boldly put, they are cheaper to purchase and in turn are less expensive for the patient. That doesn’t make selling you these lenses fair or right since we are in the business of better vision. When shopping you do need to compare “apples to apples” as the patient is generally not educated regarding the quality of the design they are purchasing.

At D’Ambrosio Eye Care we are always educating our staff on the latest technology and offer the designs we feel are the best quality and we sell them at a fair price. We have a few lens offerings but our #1 selling lens is Varilux Physio, a digital lens that increases clear vision range by 30% compared to conventional progressive lenses. Vision and contrast sensitivity is improved, creating sharp vision, especially during night driving. Peripheral distortion is also controlled or eliminated.

There are studies and science behind every lens, but to easily put a comparison together you could get anywhere from the old black and white antenna tube TVs to the latest High Definition flat screen TV. One does cost more than the other; but the result are vastly different. It is hard to purchase something you cannot see through yourself but that is why you should be properly educated when purchasing your next pair of progressive lenses.

For any questions about lens options, please stop by any of our optical departments or call us at 800-325-3937, we’re happy to help. You may also request an appointment at D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare.

Trivex®: Our Newest Lens Material

We wanted to share some information about Trivex® Lens material for eyeglasses. First, let’s start off by briefly explaining ABBE value. This is an indicator of light dispersion and should be considered when describing the technical affects of materials but the negative effects of light dispersion is rarely a problem in eyewear today. 

Leave that stuff to us! But every once in a while a very sensitive patient may notice the difference when changing from a higher ABBE to a lower ABBE lens, complaining possibly, that they do not feel they see as well or there is blur in their peripheral vision. Trivex® lenses were originally developed for military applications and, due to its high ABBE value, this lens has superior optical qualities and it also rivals polycarbonate for its impact resistance and UV protection. Yes, you can be protected from UV in most premium products even though the lens is clear! In addition to these features, Trivex® has a chemical resistance making it a good lens choice for patients exposed to chemicals often such as hairstylists or engineers. A drawback to this material is because it is so new it has limited availability, but each quarter there are more lens designs released in this material as it is popular among lens specialists like our licensed opticians. 

Please stop by any of the optical departments at D’Ambrosio Eye Care or call us at 800-325-3937 for more information on lens types that are available to best fit your needs and prescription. You may also request an appointment at facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare or visiting D’Ambrosio Eye Care.

Monovision Cataract Surgery & Near Vision

Monovision Cataract Surgery is a technique that is used to help patients increase their range of clear vision after a cataract operation. The technique of monovision has been used for many years by contact lens wearers as well as patients with presbyopia having laser eye surgery for the Laser Vision Correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. 

The monovision technique is simply adjusting the optical correction in each eye so that the dominant eye is corrected for clear distance vision and the non-dominant eye is corrected for improving near or intermediate range vision. For patients who have been wearing monovision contact lenses successfully, or who have had monovision LASIK and are pleased with the vision, taking the step into monovision cataract surgery is a natural progression. For others, they must consider the possible benefits as compared to those provided by near vision presbyopia correcting multifocal lens implants as some 30% of monovision patients fail to adapt adequately to the “blended” vision. 

Researchers reporting in the May 2011 Journal of Refractive Surgery studied the optimal monovision prescription that should be used in order to get the highest levels of patient acceptance and overall visual acuity and depth perception. They concluded that the prescription range of 1.00 D-2.00 D of monovision correction was the maximum range and that the optimal prescription for monovision cataract surgery was 1.5 D. While this is useful information, patients should understand that a 1.5 D near correction may very well be insufficient for them to perform their daily tasks comfortably without needing readers or bifocals. 

The only reliable way for you or someone you know with a cataract to find out if you are candidates for monovision cataract surgery or near vision presbyopia correcting lens implants after cataract surgery is to schedule a cataract and lens implant evaluation at D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling 800-325-3937.

Corneal Pachymetry Thickness Measurement

Corneal pachymetry is the measurement of the thickness of the cornea. It can be performed by your eye doctor using a contact method such as ultrasound. After the eye is numbed with a numbing drop, a probe is touched to the surface of the cornea and measures the thickness of the cornea in microns. Noncontact methods of measuring the cornea exist also, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT).

The thickness of the cornea is important to ensure accuracy of the pressure measurement of the eye. The standard method of measuring the intraocular pressure is Goldmann applanation tonometry. If the cornea is thinner than average, Goldmann tonometry may give a falsely low result and the true pressure in the eye may be higher. Alternately, if the cornea is thicker than average, a high pressure reading suggesting a risk for glaucoma may not represent the true internal pressure of the eye, which may be normal. 

A thin cornea can be an independent risk factor for glaucoma, or can be a sign of keratoconus, a condition which can result in progressive thinning of the cornea. Pachymetry can also be used for patients with corneal dystrophies that can result in edema and thickening of the cornea. Pachymetry is also measured prior to refractive surgeries such as LASIK to ensure enough corneal tissue is present to safely perform the treatment.

Boston Surgeons on Cataracts, Lens Implants & Glasses

Boston Cataract Surgeon Francis D’Ambrosio, Jr., M.D., commented on the possibility of not needing glasses after cataract surgery with advanced lens implants. “As more and more patients approach the age of the development of cataracts they are asking many questions about cataract surgery, lens implants and the need-or not-for eyeglasses after cataract surgery. These questions are really pretty relevant as over the past 5 years, patient expectations and technology have driven a convergence of the goals cataract surgery and refractive surgery,” explained Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. 

Traditionally, the goal of cataract surgery was to remove the cloudy crystalline lens and replace it with an intraocular lens implant (IOL) of equivalent optical power so as to achieve “emmetropia” thus allowing patients to have good distance vision. The goal of refractive surgery is to help patients decrease or possibly even eliminate their dependence on eyeglasses or contact lenses. Today, a rapidly growing cataract patient population wants to achieve both the benefits of cataract surgery and refractive surgery in one combined procedure. 

In order to meet patient expectations of being “glasses free” and help patients achieve their personal vision correction and lifestyle goals, it is necessary for us to first carefully select the type and design of lens implant as well as to accurately calculate the IOL power. The types and designs of lens implants that we work with include the following: 

Monofocal Lens Implants 

Monofocal lens implants are the most basic type of Lens Implant used to correct vision after removal of the crystalline lens. A monofocal lens implant can provide very good vision after cataract surgery-but only at one set distance-usually for seeing things at a distance such as for driving or going to the movies. A monofocal lens implant does not correct intermediate or arm’s length vision for doing things like playing cards and seeing the golf ball on the tee, or even seeing computer screens clearly. Monofocal lens implants do not correct near vision for doing things up close like seeing medicine bottles, reading, or keeping your golf score, as these tasks require the correction of presbyopia. 

Toric Lens Implants 

Toric lens implants correct astigmatism. For patients who have significant amounts of astigmatism prior to cataract surgery, and who do not wish to wear eyeglasses to see clearly at a distance, choosing a toric lens implant can help them be independent of glasses for tasks such as driving that require clear distance vision. Toric lens implants do not correct presbyopia, so that most patients still require reading glasses or bifocals to be able to comfortably perform near vision tasks such as reading and intermediate vision tasks such as computer work. 

Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting Lens Implants 

Near vision presbyopia correcting lens implants provide vision correction at the full range of distances-far or distance vision, arm’s length or intermediate vision and up close near vision. Depending on the specific vision requirements of the patient, there are several types of presbyopia correcting multifocal and accommodating lens implants that can be used including the Tecnis™ Multifocal Lens Implant, the Crystalens® Accommodating Lens Implant and the AcrySof®ReSTOR® Multifocal Lens Implant. Each of these works in a different way to help the patient achieve their vision correction goals of being able to see at a variety of distances without being dependent on eyeglasses or reading glasses. Patients choosing to have a presbyopia correcting lens implant will likely find that they can drive, watch television, play golf and keep score, read a menu, play cards or do crafts-without the need for glasses. Patients choosing a multifocal or accommodating lens implant typically experience a greater overall freedom from glasses, allowing them to participate in most everyday activities without the dependence on, or hassle of glasses. 

“As cataract and refractive surgeons, we routinely work to realistically shape patient expectations and then constantly strive to provide the medical, surgical and optical care necessary help patients meet or exceed them” commented cataract and refractive surgeon JoAnn C. Chang, M.D. “When patients ask us, “Do I have to wear glasses after my cataract surgery?”, we make sure to help them understand that we can offer them the possibility of a lifestyle that minimizes or possibly eliminates their need for glasses through careful lens implant counseling”, said Dr. Chang. “For many patients, being able to essentially live “glasses free” adds a level of convenience and comfort to their everyday lives.”

Shared Vision International

D’Ambrosio Eye Care is very proud to be a participant, along with seventeen (17) other practices throughout the United States, in Shared Vision International. 

This group was formed to provide free eye examinations and optical products to those countries whose residents need it most and have just completed their first trip. Haiti was selected as the first location to visit due to the extreme nature of the poverty within the country. Throughout the trip many individuals (400 to be exact), young to old, were given their first eye exams and eye glasses. The time of the doctors and clinicians, along with the optical products, were donated by the different practices. D’Ambrosio Eye Care donated equipment and lens products to assist in providing vision to many folks for the very first time. 

What a rewarding feeling it was for those folks that were able to provide vision to some people for the first time in their lives. One 68-year old Haitian woman was very far-sighted and they were able to fit her with glasses and she could see clearly for the very first time! A 49-year old tailor was losing his near vision and was able to be fitted for reading glasses, allowing him to continue his trade and be able to provide for his family. The doctors on the trip found a young girl, age 3, to possibly have a tumor in her eye Thanks to Shared Vision International covering her expenses, she will be able to see a specialist in the area. Hopefully, her diagnosis and subsequent treatment have a positive outcome. 

Sharing this gift of sight is what Shared Vision International is all about and why it was formed: to help those less fortunate receive the gift of vision.

LASIK Discount for Military, Police & Firefighters

D’Ambrosio Eye Care is pleased to offer military personnel, police and firefighters from throughout greater Boston and central Massachusetts a LASIK discount. Military personnel, police and firefighters in and around Boston and central Massachusetts should know that we recognize the value and importance of LASIK for these professions and thus offer a LASIK discount and benefit for these first responders and patriots. Military personnel are often involved in activities that are simply unsuitable for wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses. Trying to wear eyeglasses with night vision goggles or use eyewear with gas masks, aiming devices and other systems can be a real safety concern as well as a hindrance in the performance of duties. Further, consider a police officer involved in a pursuit, investigation or search or even a physical altercation and the hassle eyeglasses and contact lenses can potentially expose a police or law enforcement officer to. With firefighters one can only imagine trying to wear eyeglasses with SCUBA breathing devices or wearing contact lenses in the heat and dusty environment of a fire. 

We are hopeful that by providing the opportunity to have LASIK at a discount, military personnel, police and firefighters will perform better and feel safer if they don't have to worry about breaking eyeglasses, losing contact lenses or glasses, or thinking about lenses fogging up or being uncomfortable at crucial moments. 

D’Ambrosio Eye Care offers a Free LASIK Consultation as well as the military, police and firefighter LASIK discount by calling 800-325-3937. Our $500 per eye LASIK discount allows first responders and active and retired military personnel to have LASIK at D’Ambrosio Eye Care -regularly $2295 per eye for $1795 per eye.

Lens Implants for Cataracts in Massachusetts

Massachusetts eye surgeon Francis D’Ambrosio, Jr., M.D. advises us about lens implants being the best choice for vision correction after cataract surgery. “As the “baby boomer” population surges in size, each day it seems as if more and more patients seem to want to know about cataracts”, commented Francis A. D’Ambrosio, Jr., M.D., Medical Director of D’Ambrosio Eye Care. “Pretty much everyone knows someone who has a cataract or had cataract surgery but today patients with cataracts all want to know if they will have to wear glasses after their cataract removal. They do not necessarily know or realize the options and positive results we achieve with lens implants for vision correction after cataract surgery today.”

Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide. About 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts and more than half of all Americans develop cataracts by age 80. A cataract is a clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye preventing light rays from passing through it easily. This results in a clouding and blurring of vision. For many patients cataracts start out slowly and have little effect on vision at first. But, as the cataract becomes denser, so does the impact on vision. The most common symptoms that bother patients with cataracts include blurry or cloudy vision, sensitivity to light and glare, double vision in one eye, poor night vision, sometimes with haloes around lights, fading or yellowing of colors and often a need for frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions. 

“The baby boomers of today who now have cataracts are accustomed to an active and mobile lifestyle. When a cataract begins to impact their ability to maintain that lifestyle by limiting activities or even limiting safe and comfortable mobility, then we tell them that it is time to consider cataract surgery and lens implants. We use advanced technology intraocular lens implants (IOL) to provide sharper vision even in dim lighting conditions, toric lens implants to correct astigmatism and even lens implants that correct near vision, arm’s length vision as well as distance vision without requiring bifocals or reading glasses for the vast majority of patients”, said Dr. D’Ambrosio Jr. 

If you or someone you know is bothered by the symptoms of cataracts or have questions or concerns about having a cataract or cataract surgery symptoms they are encouraged to schedule an eye examination at D’Ambrosio Eye Care by calling us at 800-325-3937, visiting D’Ambrosio Eye Care or facebook.com/dambrosioeyecare so that we can help identify the possible causes and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
