Dr. William Boothe talks about Lasik Eye Surgery and eye problems
Dr Boothe
Glare: scatter from bright light that decreases vision.
Haze: corneal clouding that causes the sensation of looking through smoke or fog.( - Dr William Boothe)
Dr Boothe: Optometrist: a primary eye care provider who diagnoses, manages, and treats disorders of the visual system and eye diseases.
Farsightedness: the common term for hyperopia.
Refraction: a test to determine the refractive power of the eye; also, the bending of light as it passes from one medium into another. ( Dr Boothe )

Keratoconus a disorder characterized by an irregular corneal surface (cone-shaped) resulting in blurred and distorted images.
FDA: the abbreviation for the Food and Drug Administration. It is the United States governmental agency responsible for the evaluation and approval of medical devices.( )
: Radial Keratotomy: commonly referred to as RK; a surgical procedure designed to correct myopia (nearsightedness) by flattening the cornea using radial cuts.
: Dry Eye Syndrome: a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep the eye moist and comfortable. Common symptoms of dry eye include pain, stinging, burning, scratchiness, and intermittent blurring of vision.

Dr William Boothe: Informed Consent Form a document disclosing the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a procedure.
Visual Acuity: the clearness of vision; the ability to distinguish details and shapes.
Ablate: in surgery, is to remove. ( Dr William Boothe )

Lens: a part of the eye that provides some focusing power. The lens is able to change shape allowing the eye to focus at different distances.
Haze: corneal clouding that causes the sensation of looking through smoke or fog.( - Dr William Boothe)
Dr Boothe: Keratomileusis: carving of the cornea to reshape it.
Ablation zone: the area of tissue that is removed during laser surgery.
Kerato: prefix indicating relationship to the cornea. ( Dr Boothe )

Undercorrection: a complication of refractive surgery where the achieved amount of correction is less than desired.
Diopter: the measurement of refractive error. A negative diopter value signifies an eye with myopia and positive diopter value signifies an eye with hyperopia.( Dr William Boothe )
Dr Boothe: Refraction: a test to determine the refractive power of the eye; also, the bending of light as it passes from one medium into another.

Accommodation: the ability of the eye to change its focus from distant objects to near objects.
Laser: the acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A laser is an instrument that produces a powerful beam of light that can vaporize tissue.( - Dr Boothe)
Dr Boothe: Ablation zone: the area of tissue that is removed during laser surgery.
Presbyopia: the inability to maintain a clear image (focus) as objects are moved closer. Presbyopia is due to reduced elasticity of the lens with increasing age.
Endothelium: the inner layer of cells on the inside surface of the cornea. ( Dr William Boothe )
