LASIK (laser in-situ keratomileusis) has become one of the most successful procedures to correct refractive errors, replacing glasses and contact lenses. There are no precedents for the number of procedures that are being performed Worldwide. Over one million eyes are being treated this year alone. The rapid return of functional vision, lack of discomfort, and the overall stability and accuracy of the treatment have led to this astounding success. The risk/benefit ratio for most patients exceeds that of contact lenses. Although the FDA has determined the excimer laser vision correction procedure as "safe and effective", there are still many critical factors that must be considered in order for each patient to achieve the best possible result.

To Dr. Foulkes from Robert F. Jasineick:
I am sure that you have had many letters written to you in grateful thanks in the fact that you have made many patients absolutely full of joy in the outcome of the surgery you have performed on them. It is absolutely very obvious that you are more than dedicated to your profession!!! I did not just pick up the paper or any other form of advertising and decide to have you perform my surgery. I did my homework and learned that you were the best! I must admit that I was hesitant to have anyone do laser surgery on my precious eyes, but I am now so glad that I had it done. Seeing is the self-satisfaction that I craved. You have a very professional and dedicated staff. Thanks for everything.

At Foulkes Vision Center, our passion takes LASIK and other refractive procedures to a higher level. We believe that providing our patients with the most extensive pre-operative evaluation is critical in determining the success of the procedure. The following is a description of the pre-operative evaluation you will have at Foulkes Vision Center.

An astigmatism occurs when the cornea is irregularly shaped. Astigmatisms can lead to blurred or impaired vision if it becomes moderate or severe. A normal eye’s cornea and lens have a circular shape, but an eye with astigmatism has a longer, more oval shape. Foulkes Vision offers Toric IOLs that are designed to correct astigmatism in cataract patients.

Most astigmatisms do not require surgery because they are not severe enough. Astigmatisms can be corrected by wearing glasses or contact lenses. For cataract patients with pre-existing astigmatism, a Toric IOL could eliminate the need for glasses after surgery, because a Toric lens has the ability to correct the cataract and the astigmatism.

Surgeons previously tried to change the shape of the cornea through an incision during cataract surgery. Now with the Toric IOL, vision can be improved or repaired without the need for more surgery. The lens helps to refocus vision, and is designed with the same technology as contact lenses.

Patients who have an astigmatism and are candidates for cataract surgery can request a Toric IOL to help improve their vision. A Toric IOL can treat both the cataract and astigmatism in one surgical outpatient procedure.

To learn more about Toric IOL’s and to determine if this is the best option for you, please contact Dr. Foulkes at 877-393-7228.
