Radial Keratotomy (RK) - (keh-ruh-TAH-tuh-mee) A surgical treatment for myopia. A myopic eye has a cornea which is too steep, refracting light rays too much, so they land in front of the retina, instead of on it, for clear vision. To make the cornea slightly flatter, tiny incisions are placed around the pupil, angled from the pupil out to the edge of the cornea. The number of incisions and their exact location depends on the degree of myopia.

Optic Nerve - A bundle of nerve fibers about one quarter of an inch wide, which runs between the retina and the brain, and connects with the retina’s nerve fibers. It carries visual information to the brain.

DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK: With modern developments, there is no need for any contact lens wearer to suffer from dry eyes, so get help and remove the irritation.Contact lenses and dry eyes are soon to be a thing of the past! - More LASIK and Dr William Boothe
Until recently, contact lenses and dry eyes seemed to come hand in hand. Modern technology, however, has developed several ways for contact lens wearers to deal with dry eyes. When eyes become dry, they can be irritable, bloodshot and in severe cases, vision can become impaired.
Dry eyes occur for a number of reasons, although there is thought to be a particular link between extended contact lenses and dry eyes. Dry eyes are also prevalent with older contact lens wearers as tear ducts become less effective with age. Problems with contact lenses and dry eyes become exacerbated when wearers spend a considerable length of time in front of a computer screen or in an air-conditioned environment.
DR WILLIAM BOOTHESpecific Contact Lenses for Dry Eyes There are some manufacturers that deal specifically with the problem of contact lenses and dry eyes. For example biomedics offer their own range of frequency 55 contact lenses for dry eyes. The higher water content can be a real benefit for those suffering from irritated and dry eyes.

Diabetes Type 1 - Insulin-dependent diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes because it’s often diagnosed in young people. The pancreas, which normally would produce insulin, is unable to do so, so insulin must be injected so the patient can convert sugars and starch into energy. A person with Diabetes, Type 1 or 2, is susceptible to vision problems because the tiny blood vessels in the eyes weaken and start to leak, damaging the retina. See Diabetic Retinopathy.

Diabetes Type 2 - The more common of the two types of Diabetes, where the pancreas can produce insulin, but not enough. Insulin may or may not have to be injected for the person to convert sugars into energy. Sometimes Type 2 can be well-managed by sticking to the right diet and exercise routines.

LASIK EYE - DR BOOTHE: Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) - A refractive surgery like LASIK, where an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. It’s used for those who have corneas too thin to tolerate a LASIK procedure. Instead of the microkeratome being used to create the corneal flap, the laser is used, which can do it even more precisely and subtly than the microkeratome.

DALLAS LASIK - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE
Cornea is the clear front part of your eye. The cornea is the first part of the eye that bends (or focuses) the light and provides most of the focusing power.

Diopter is the measurement of refractive error. When used in excimer refractive surgery, diopter is a measurement of the refractive power of the eye. In LASIK and other refractive procedures, a negative diopter value signifies an eye with myopia and positive diopter value signifies an eye with hyperopia.

PTK - Photo Therapeutic Keratectomy "Cold" laser removal of surface tissue of the cornea such as scar tissue for medical or optical treatment reasons.

ptygeria - A growth of scar tissue on the cornea. These lesions like pinguecula are caused by an ultraviolet burn to the surface layer or epithelium.

radial keratotomy - A surgical operation where 90% thickness cuts are made in the cornea. These cuts are made in a radial fashion and spare the visual center of the cornea. The intention is to flatten the central cornea.
