Patients receiving Bioptics treatment often achieve vision results of 20/20.
Patients receiving Bioptics treatment often achieve vision results of 20/20.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) September 22, 2015 -- Kyle Lane struggled wearing glasses while training clients in boot camp classes. A Bioptics Procedure at Christenbury Eye Center restored his vision to 20/20. Kyle threw away his glasses and never looked back. Bioptics is often offered to patients with complex conditions such as, Myopia with Keratoconus or extreme Myopia with Astigmatism. Only surgeons trained in cornea surgery and lens surgery or centers, such as, the surgeons at Christenbury Eye Center may provide these extra benefits and better results.

Now that I’ve had the Bioptics procedure, I’m no longer messing with my glasses during boot camp sessions. I can easily move around and focus on my clients. Why wear glasses or contacts at all anymore? People should just have laser eye surgery.

Kyle Lane consulted with Dr. Jonathan Christenbury for LASIK. Unfortunately, Kyle’s vision challenge could not be solved by LASIK alone. Dr. Christenbury offered Kyle a Bioptics Procedure. The procedure involved two surgeries occurring approximately one month apart. First, Kyle received a Visian Intraocular Lens (Visian ICL) implant. Then, a LASIK procedure was performed to give Kyle the extra points necessary to bring his vision to 20/20.

“Now that I’ve had the Bioptics procedure, I’m no longer messing with my glasses during boot camp sessions. I can easily move around and focus on my clients. Why wear glasses or contacts at all anymore? People should just have laser eye surgery,” says Kyle Lane, a patient at Christenbury Eye Center.

The complex conditions below may often be corrected with a Bioptics Procedure:

• Patients with Presbyopia (loss of ability to see up close over age 40) and astigmatism (imperfection in the curvature of the eye): The Bioptics treatment for this condition includes a multifocal lens (TECNIS) implant, then a follow-up LASIK procedure to remove the astigmatism. The second procedure is normally performed about one month after the first surgery. Patients often achieve 20/20 vision results for reading, intermediate and distance.

• Patients who present with myopia (nearsightedness under age 40) and Keratoconus (thinning of the cornea) who are not candidates for LASIK: This solution includes cornea correction with an Intacs Prescription Inserts procedure. A ring that stabilizes the cornea is inserted into the eye to flatten and stabilize the cornea, eliminating the need for a cornea transplant. About one month later, a Visian ICL procedure is performed to correct myopia. In this scenario, a patient with the worst possible vision may achieve vision results of 20/20 to 20/40 vision without glasses. (A value of 20/40 is adequate to pass a driving test.)

• Patients with extremely high levels of myopia or nearsightedness: These patients do not qualify for LASIK alone, and a Visian ICL implant restores vision up to -16 units in power. If a patient presents with -19 units, for example, a Visian ICL implant restores up to -16 units. Then, a LASIK procedure about one month later may easily restore the last -3 units to get this patient to 20/20.

Kyle’s vision condition met the requirements for the last description above, and qualified him for a Visian ICL implant with a LASIK procedure. Today, he is very pleased with his results and newfound freedom from glasses.
