CHICAGO, April 2007 — Older individuals undergoing LASIK can achieve positive outcomes, along with a good safety profile, says a University of Illinois at Chicago study. Adjustments were made in vision corrections to compensate for differences in the way the eye's clear front surface (cornea) heals in people 40 or older, said investigator and study co-author Dimitri Azar, MD. "We are seeing an increasing demand for LASIK surgery for older adults, who present special challenges," Azar said. The study involved 710 consecutive laser eye surgeries in 424 people between 40 and 69. In all groups studied, 91% to 97% achieved 20/40 uncorrected vision for nearsightedness. But Azar said presbyopia, which affects near vision in older people, is a special problem. One solution is monovision, when one eye is corrected for near vision and the other for distance.

As you all know by now Hurricane Katrina has been touching lives across this land in a negative way as well as in a positive way.

I had two patients scheduled in for their Lasik Procedures in New Orleans which where canceled due to Hurricane Katrina's wrath. We had over two feet of water devastate the center and shut it down indefinintely. The two patients who lost their surgery day where of slavic background and they where boyfriend and girlfriend. The boyfriend had called me after the storm and asked if he could get re-scheduled for surgery in Atlanta. I told him our Orlando office was much closer so I had both patients re-scheduled for their Lasik procedure on the NIDEK EC 5000 for Saturday September 10th. This worked out because they went to Sea World for a day before their Lasik Procedures. We'll to make a long story short he called me today with joy as he had obtained 20/20 vision and his girlfriend currently was at 20/25 and getting better. This pretty much made my day as I love to hear all of the success stories of the many people in whom I have helped facilitate their Lasik Procedures. Hurricane Katrina devasted lives, cities and towns but out of the rubble will come success stories that over time will negate destruction.
