A note from Dr. Caster:
Lasik
laser vision correction is one of the great medical advances of our time.
Although you may have lived most of your lifetime with poor vision, you can now
have this painless five-minute treatment and literally walk out without glasses
or contact lenses. There is really no other medical procedure which combines
such a profound improvement with lack of pain and very rapid recovery. I had my
own nearsightedness and astigmatism corrected with Lasik in 1996, and I have
enjoyed wonderful vision ever since.
I have been an ophthalmologist for
almost twenty five years, but for the past twelve years I have dedicated my
practice exclusively to Lasik laser vision correction. This specialization is
one of the keys to our great results. When you apply all of your talent and
energies in one focused area, you learn how to do it very, very well.
No
one has technology that surpasses us. We have three different lasers to choose
from, including our favorite, the WaveLight Allegretto. We perform all
variations of laser vision correction, including Lasik, IntraLase, PRK, and
Lasek. All treatments at the Caster Eye Center use Custom wavefront
technology.
Laser vision correction is not right for everyone. We will
only perform your treatment if we are confident that we can obtain excellent
results. We advise 30% of our patients not to have laser vision correction,
because they are not ideal candidates. If a different procedure is more
appropriate for you, we will refer you to a top specialist in that particular
technique.
One of the most important aspects of medicine is the caring
approach of the doctor. A doctor who really cares will spend time talking to the
patient. The truly caring doctor will use only the best equipment, will be
extremely meticulous in all aspects of measurement and treatment, and will
insist on having only superbly trained staff. When you speak with us, when you
visit our office, and when you have your treatment, you will see the experience
and the caring attitude. And you will appreciate the difference each day
thereafter as you enjoy your new vision.
I look forward to meeting
you.
Sincerely,
Andrew I. Caster, MD, FACS
