IMPROVING YOUR VISION
By: Susan Keat, Refractive Surgical Coordinator,
The Eye Specialists, PA
Recent advances in technology
enable more patients to improve
their natural vision, according to
Bridgewater ophthalmologist,
Dr. Alan Salz. Nowadays, with
modern laser vision correction
and cataract surgery, many
patients are able to enjoy clear
vision and less dependence on
optical aides like eyeglasses or
contact lenses.
Laser vision correction, com-
monly referred to as LASIK sur-
gery, corrects nearsightedness,
farsightedness and astigmatism
by utilizing a 2-step procedure
to change the shape of the
cornea, the outer clear part of
the eye. Originally, the first step
in LASIK surgery entailed using a
mechanical device with a blade
called a microkeratome to slice a
partial thickness flap of the
cornea. Several years ago, a
newer, more precise and safer
way to make the corneal flap
became available, with an
Intralase femtosecond laser. Dr.
Salz was the first LASIK surgeon
in central New Jersey to be certi-
fied in this “all-laser” LASIK
technique. In 2012, the laser
center Dr. Salz uses became one
of the first facilities in the region
to offer iFS, the latest version of
the Intralase laser. The iFS tech-
nology creates the LASIK flap
more quickly and allows the
LASIK surgeon to customize the
flap to best suit a patient’s
unique anatomical needs. This
improvement in flap architecture
led NASA to approve LASIK sur-
gery for astronauts.
The second step of LASIK sur-
gery, in which the corneal focus-
ing power is adjusted by an
excimer laser, has also improved.
By a technique known as Cus-
tomVue, the excimer laser can
minimize imperfections in the
eye’s visual pathway. This tech-
nology has helped improve
night vision in patients undergo-
ing laser vision correction.
Innovations in cataract surgery
lens implants have also benefit-
ed many patients. During
cataract surgery, an artificial lens
is used to replace the cloudy
human lens at the time of
cataract surgery. TORIC lens
implants can be used to give
sharper vision in the nearly 40%
of patients who also have astig-
matism at the time their cataract
is removed. Other lens implants
such as the Crystalens and mul-
tifocal implants improve not
only distance vision but also
intermediate and near vision.
For further information about
LASIK or modern cataract sur-
gery, you can call Dr. Salz’s office
