Treating Dry Eye There are numerous causes of chronic eye discomfort resulting from the condition known as "dry eye," including underlying eye inflammation that can lead to intense redness and burning. Blurred, fluctuating vision is also a common symptom of dry eye. Other conditions such as allergic eye disease and chronic infections may mimic dry eye disease, so proper diagnosis is critical. At Dell Laser Consultants we have pioneered and published innovative methods of treating dry eye. Our team of dry eye specialists will help determine the cause and best treatment options for your condition. Up until the 1950's, when contact lenses became available, eyeglasses were the only option for vision correction. But today, through the use laser eye treatments and artificial implant lenses, we can correct virtually any glasses prescription, and treat many associated conditions like cataract and glaucoma. At Dell Laser Consultants, we offer a wide range of laser-assisted vision correction services using the most advanced technologies available. Through our research and consulting endeavors, we often have access to new technology years before it is available elsewhere. Some of these technologies were developed at Dell Laser Consultants. Our clinical trial results have been presented at eye surgery conferences around the world. We make our services affordable by providing you with workable financing plans through carecredit.com should you require them. Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) A laser surgery very similar to LASIK is called Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA). ASA is 100% blade-free and does not involve the cutting of a corneal flap. Instead, the laser does all of its work directly on the surface of your eye. ASA may take a few extra days to recover from as compared to LASIK, and you would wear a temporary soft contact lens for the first few days after the surgery. If you have a particularly thin cornea or one with certain kinds of surface imperfections, ASA may be a better option for you. Others choose ASA simply because it avoids using blades or cutting a corneal flap. We can examine your eyes pre-op and help you decide whether LASIK or ASA laser eye surgery would be best in your situation. Astigmatism Treatment - (Other Practice Areas) Astigmatism causes both close and far objects to appear somewhat blurry or distorted, and it may also cause eye strain or headaches. It's caused by either a corneal or lenticular (on the lens) irregularity in the eye's shape. Many people are born with astigmatism, and many children don't realize they have it until after a careful eye exam. It is often falsely assumed that laser eye surgery cannot correct astigmatism. But in fact, both LASIK and ASA laser eye treatment can remove the imperfections in the shape of your cornea or lens, so that light will properly focus on the retina in the back of the eye - thus correcting astigmatism.
