How is my surgical technique better?
- No Pain. The vast majority of my patients reports no pain
and they don't even take a single Tylenol afterwards. I am able
to numb the eye with eye-drops, while the anesthesiologist
gives a small amount of sedation in the intra-venous line to
help you relax. The older techniques require medications to be
injected behind the eyeball with a 3 inch needle.
- No Stitches and No Bleeding. Since my incision is so tiny
(less than 1/8th of an inch) and is made with a diamond, it seals
by itself. It is placed in such a manner that not even one drop
of blood comes from the incision. Other techniques require
incisions 2x to 5x larger than this, using a large steel blade or
even scissors in the eye. In these older techniques, the surgeon would then place between one and ten nylon stitches to close
their larger incision. These nylon stitches are sometimes felt
when you blink, and they are often left in the eye for years or
even permanently. Recovery after this less advanced type of
surgery is months, versus just a week or so after my surgery.
- The Best Optics. The best vision requires the best optics.
This involves choosing the best intra-ocular lens to implant in
your eye. The cost of the best lenses is many times more than
the cost of the cheaper lenses, and in some surgical centers,
corners are often cut. I never cut corners, and I only implant
the best lenses. In addition, I perform exacting calculations to
determine which power lens to place in your eye. I take the
extra time to incorporate as much of your glasses prescription
as possible, into the power of the implanted lens. I can even
analyze your eye and make my tiny incision in such a manner
as to help to reduce your astigmatism. All of this means you'll
be far less reliant on glasses after the surgery, and many
patients achieve total freedom from glasses.
- Experience with Advanced Techniques. My focus is state of
the art cataract and lens surgery. I perform the most advanced
techniques and teach them across the US and internationally -
in over 30 countries in the past 3 years alone. In order to make
the surgery as gentle as possible, your surgeon should use the
most advanced techniques - the ones that I teach and write
about in my monthly columns in the eye surgery journals. My
improvements on this technique reduce the surgical time and
make the surgery very gentle on the eye.
- No Corners are Cut. I will perform your surgery the same
way that I have already performed it on my own family
members. These are your eyes we're talking about, and you
need to demand the best. At every step, you can rest assured
that everything will be the very best and of the highest quality.
For example, I use $11,000 worth of diamonds instead of a $9
steel knife because it gives the best results. Even for my charity
surgeries, I only use top-of-the-line equipment and products.
I'm a perfectionist, and you'll appreciate that.
