Ophthalmological Clinics are Offering Advance Procedure in Eye Care
Eye specialty clinics in the city are offering new procedures and products to treat eye ailments.
St. John’s Clinic Eye Specialists recently upgraded its laser vision correction equipment. The clinic’s new equipment, the German-designed Allegretto Wave System, allows doctors greater precision when performing laser procedures, including the two most common types: laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, and photorefractive keratectomy, or PRK.
Dr. Shachar Tauber, director of ophthalmology research for St. John’s, said he and fellow eye specialist Dr. Jim Gessler were so impressed with the improvement in the Allegretto system that they couldn’t wait for the hospital to find funding or get a grant for the $400,000 equipment – so they purchased it themselves.
While the system works in essentially the same way as previous LASIK procedures , the new laser is more precise, creating fewer instances of enhancements – follow-up procedures for minor sight imperfections caused by the LASIK procedure.
