• CUSTOM LASIK PROCEDURES

    1. HomeNewsCUSTOM LASIK PROCEDURES
    Custom LASIK is a little bit of a silly name because of course all LASIK procedures are customized to your eyes and your particular vision problems. LASIK is always designed to correct your particular vision problems, but custom LASIK is designed to correct different types of vision problems.

    Traditional LASIK can measure and correct what we call nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, which we group together under the name “lower order aberrations.” Custom LASIK can measure and correct finer visual impairments, which may be manifested as halos, glare, or just unclear vision that can’t be corrected using glasses or contacts.

    Custom LASIK depends on a technology known as wavefront measurements, which create a 3-D map of the visual disturbances in your eye across the entire area to be treated. This 3-D map allows for correction that better incorporates the possibility of distortion throughout your visual system to give you the best possible vision after LASIK.

    To learn whether Custom LASIK is right for you, please contact Silverstein Eye Centers in Kansas City.

    Our Specialties:

    Premium lens implants provide a continuous range of vision from near to far. In contrast to standard lens implants which require glasses for distance or close-up vision, premium lens implants expand your range of functional vision for both distance and near vision. Corrective eyewear may still be necessary for some activities, but the freedom from glasses and contact lenses is incredible. Learn more about our Premium Lens Implant options.
    A healthy cornea is critical to your vision and general health. When your cornea is damaged by injury, infection, or disease, your ability to focus is compromised because the incoming light can be distorted or blocked. Steven Silverstein MD, FACS is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist. He is an internationally renowned expert, and will expertly treat any corneal issues you may have.

    Ask us about Prokera, a biologic corneal bandage that has natural therapeutic actions known to heal the eye faster with less pain, scarring, and inflammation.
    If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, cataract surgery is the only way to restore your vision. Your choice of a cataract surgeon can have a significant impact on the quality of your results, so choosing your cataract surgeon carefully is worth the time and effort. At Silverstein Eye Centers, we use only the most advanced technology for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Learn more about cataract treatment options.
    LASIK laser vision correction has enabled millions of people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts. Dr. Silverstein has been performing LASIK procedures since the technology first became available, and is an expert in the field. Learn more about LASIK vision correction.

    Proactive eye care starts with routine examinations. Our complete examination will reveal any eye problems, even hidden ones you may not be aware of.

    If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, or thyroid disease, your vision and the health of your eyes could be affected. Also, certain medications can cause visual problems, which is why it’s so important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment!
