Carter Eye Lasik Vision Correction Blog

The AcrySof® ReStor® intraocular lens (IOL) is a cutting-edge vision correction technology that is implanted into patients' eyes to correct both near and far-sighted problems. Most of these problems are created by either cataracts or presbyopia, an ailment related to aging.

When patients undergo ReSTOR® and are fully healed, many say their eyesight is better than they ever thought possible. Basically, ReStor® lenses are the ideal combination of the benefits of time-tested cataract surgery and the advantages of leading-edge vision correction technology.

Many people who previously had poor vision don’t even need bifocals after surgery.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, four out of five ReSTOR® patients go completely free of the need to wear any type of correction. Other benefits people enjoy are the ability to read fine print effortlessly as well as seeing better in poor lighting conditions.

The AcrySof® ReSTOR® IOL is one of the many alternatives available to create the best vision correction for you. At the Carter Eye Center in Dallas, Texas , Dr. Harvey Carter and his team are well-trained in all of the latest procedures including this one. Besides ReSTOR®, many different options exist and one will be the perfect one for you. Please contact us today.

Wavefront-guided LASIK technology is a rapidly growing segment of the vision correction field and can deliver results around 25 times more precise than those delivered through standard LASIK surgeries.

This is one of the many technologies that Dr. Harvey Carter and his team at the Carter Eye Center utilize to improve your vision.

Wavefront uses the patented WaveScan technology to create an ultra-accurate picture of your eye and its imperfections. Once this is created, this picture is then downloaded into the excimer laser which uses it as a guide.

The rising popularity of Wavefront technology is due to its high success rates. These rates are largely due to the fact that Wavefront can help create a 3-dimensional, 360-degree view of your eye down to the very last minute detail.

This is important for vision correction because even though you may have the same glasses prescription as millions of other people, no two people have the same wavefront pattern.

Another name for Wavefront technology is CustomVue. This procedure is one of many that we perform on a regular basis at the Carter Eye Center. Because everyone’s eyes and vision problems are unique, it's best to get a consultation and have an experienced eye surgeon like Dr. Carter walk you through the range of corrective possibilities. Please contact the Carter Eye Center in Dallas, Texas, an established team of vision correction medical professionals, to set up an appointment today.
