Does your eye surgeon invest in the latest technology?

Medical technology makes huge advances each day, and eye surgery is no exception. You now have more vision correction options than ever before, allowing you to see clearly at any age. However, not all ophthalmologists or eye surgeons offer the latest advanced technology. As a cutting-edge eye surgeon, Dr. Wu is committed to offering her patients the highest level of service and care, including investing in new and state-of-the-art technology.

What does an eye surgeon treat?

Eye surgeons (ophthalmologists) are medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy who specialize in diagnosing and treating eye diseases. They may subspecialize in specific areas of the eye such as the front (cornea), back (retina), around the eye (oculoplasstics) and eye pressure (glaucoma). Dr. Wu’s specialty is vision correction surgery (LASIK and refractive) and corneal conditions (keratoconus and corneal dystrophy). She also treats presbyopia (reading glasses), cataracts, and dry eye disease. Specializing in one area allows an eye surgeon to keep up-to-date with new treatment advances and provide expertise in that area.

Does your eye surgeon invest in the latest technology?

During a consultation, we recommend asking your eye surgeon about the types of technology they use. If you are considering vision correction surgery, seek a provider like Dr. Wu, who offers all these options:

Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery includes the familiar LASIK, SMILE, and PRK. All three use a laser to reshape the light-focusing cornea at the front of your eye to correct your vision. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Having options is important because not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK but may still be able to have another type of laser eye surgery.

EVO ICL

This type of eye surgery uses a tiny incision to insert an implantable collamer lens, an artificial lens that helps focus light so you can see clearly. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, EVO ICL is an advanced alternative to laser eye surgery. You cannot see or feel the lens, which can be removed anytime.

Clear Lens Exchange

Also known as refractive lens exchange, this procedure is ideal for those over the age of 50. By this age, most people have started to develop presbyopia, a stiffening of the lens that makes it hard to see up close. As you age, you are also likely to develop clouding of the lenses called cataracts. Clear lens exchange replaces your lenses with artificial ones that are never affected by aging.

Dry Eye Treatments

Many factors can contribute to dry eye problems, including medications, medical conditions, and environmental exposures. Dr. Wu offers a range of dry eye treatments, including IPL (intense pulsed light) to reduce inflammation and treatments to unblock glands that keep your tears from evaporating.

How to Choose an Eye Surgeon

Choosing the right eye surgeon is an important part of your vision correction journey. You should seek doctors who:

Use the latest and most advanced technology in their field
Has the extensive experience and skill to put your mind at ease
Listen to your goals and concerns with a compassionate attitude

Other factors you should consider include the eye surgeon’s team and facility. Dr. Wu offers a comfortable, professional environment staffed by highly trained experts in their field. Feeling at ease and confident in your eye surgeon’s abilities is the first step to a successful procedure.
