Vision Correction Surgeons in Fort Lauderdale on How to Choose the Right Practice for LASIK
According to a recent study by the American Optometric Association (AOA), nearly 30% of Americans age 20 and up cannot see objects clearly at a distance, a condition known as myopia (nearsightedness); and more than 12 million Americans age 40 and over suffer from hyperopia, or farsightedness. Dr. Marc Bosem, a LASIK surgeon in Ft. Lauderdale, and Dr. Barry Concool say that choosing the right practice for a vision correction procedure is critical for receiving the best results and achieving better eyesight. Dr. Bosem discusses selecting the right procedure for individual conditions, and how important specialized and personalized care can be for attaining proper vision correction.
The latest survey by the American Optometric Association (AOA) reports that nearly 30% of Americans age 20 and up suffer from a condition called myopia, or nearsightedness, and more than 12 million Americans over 40 cannot see objects up close, known as hyperopia (farsightedness). The AOA study also states that one in three people have astigmatism. At their LASIK practice in Ft. Lauderdale, Dr. Marc Bosem and Dr. Barry Concool say that there has never been a better time for patients to undergo LASIK or Implant vision technology procedures considering the advances in modern laser technology.
Dr. Bosem says that the newest lasers have reduced the risks and side effects of procedures like LASIK in Ft. Lauderdale to a minimal amount. A recent study by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that LASIK eye surgery complications occur in less than 5% of cases. With such a significant opportunity for success, he adds that choosing the right procedure and surgeon is important for patients who want the best vision possible.
Whether patients are considering LASIK surgery or another procedure, Dr. Bosem recommends researching all of the options and consulting with a highly trained and experienced surgeon before having a laser vision correction procedure performed. He says that finding a surgeon who is dedicated to providing a personalized treatment plan is imperative for ensuring the best results are achieved. “The most important things for patients to look at prior to any procedure is the experience of the doctor and the quality of the technology.”

WHY is nearsightedness so common in the modern world? In the early 1970s, 25 percent of Americans were nearsighted; three decades later, the rate had risen to 42 percent, and similar increases have occurred around the world.
According to this article in the New York Times, this increase is due to changes to our modern way of life. Click here to read the full article.
