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.

The Verisyse lens is designed to be implanted into the eyes of severely nearsighted and farsighted people whose vision cannot be corrected using IntraLASIK or other forms of refractive surgery. Candidates for Verisyse lens are rare, representing about five percent of the overall population that wears glasses, but the results have been excellent./

arscan In 1997, the FDA kicked off a study on the Verisyse lens. The procedure has proven to be extremely safe and more predictable than traditional LASIK, with results that typically are stable long-term. In addition, unlike traditional LASIK, the procedure is completely reversible in case a problem should arise.

Verisyse lens has also proven to work for some patients whose corneas are simply too thin to have LASIK. Also, because the procedure does not invade the cornea, Verisyse patients usually see very well at dusk and have less glare at night than do standard LASIK patients. Many Artisan Lens patients actually improve their best correctable vision, meaning they see better after the procedure than they did with their glasses or contacts.

The procedure itself is similar to a cataract surgery. It takes about 20 minutes per eye and is done under local anesthesia. It involves implanting what is known as an intraocular lens into each eye to improve visual acuity. Implants will be done several weeks apart, and the day after each surgery, patients can pretty much do anything they would normally do, although there should be no heavy lifting for at least a week.
