Laser vision correction is on the the minds of millions of people every year. Many of them act quickly to rid themselves of glasses and contact lens, but then there are individuals that want it but can not figure out how to squeeze the procedure into their busy lives. LASIK is an out patient procedure that we perform conveniently Monday through Friday in our office. We tend to get alot of takers for Friday afternoons, this way they minimize any down time at work.

This is a great time of year to get it done for many reasons. Income tax refunds are starting to kick in. Gifting yourself sight is a great investment. Most of the time we cant even remember where our returns went. This way you can literally see where your dollars went every waking hour going forward.
Time of year is very important when planning for LASIK or any type of surgery. Be sure to consider getting your procedure done before the summer as this may be the year you can truly enjoy all of the activities summer has to offer without the restraints of glasses and contacts.

Hi everyone!!! With Summer and Hurricane Season creeping up on us we need to remember to be prepared. Don’t forget that sun block or battery operated fan. Especially do not forget the rag that you have to bring around to wipe the sweat off your face while your Glasses Slip Down Your Face. Hey, I have a idea!!! Get LASIK EYE SURGERY and that will not happen to you this summer. Imagine walking down the beach with your family and just jumping in the ocean without having to worry about putting you glasses down or making sure you close your eyes because of your contacts. Lasik eye surgery is now completly affordable for the average income household, I know with gas prices rising times are tough, thats why there is NO INTEREST financing available!!!! Just a thought….

This weekend there was so much going on and in the midst of all the hustle and bustle made me realize also how EXTREMELY happy I am that I?ve had LASIK EYE SURGERY with Dr. Marc Bosem. I was in down in South Beach for a graduation party for my daughter and I had so much to do to prepare.  I had to wake up early on Friday and get the place ready, decorate, and make sure everyone was doing what they were suppose to do. I did not have to worry about trying to put my Contacts in that morning and thank goodness for that because we were up late tending to last minute details and that would of never happened. Got a little shut eye Thursday night but it?s kind of hard for me to sleep when I am stressed about all the things I have to do ? Friday night I had to take my youngest daughter to ballet, run my son by his friend’s house to spend the weekend, and finally help my daughter figure out what she was going to wear to her graduation party! I was again so glad that I did not have to worry about taking my contacts out that night after another long day!  LASIK is the best! I have to say my experience at Correctvision Vision was ONE OF A KIND!!! I would only trust my eyes to Dr. Marc Bosem!!  Have a great day!  All the best!

Imagine Being Able To See CRYSTAL Clear

Being able to see your world as well as you did when you were younger, without the help of glasses or contact lenses. Being seen the way you want people to see you. Youthful. Energetic. Vibrant.

Being able to see the way you want to see. Near, far and all distances in between. Seamlessly. Effortlessly. Naturally. Never missing a child’s smile, the sparkle of a diamond, a cloud that looks like a face, an important plot twist in a mystery novel. Imagine a way to do it. Through your own eyes. Imagine all the possibilities. Imagine Crystalens?.

WHAT IS CRYSTALENS?

Crystalens, a single-focus lens, is a cataract replacement lens that works naturally with your eyes’ muscles to give you the quality of vision you enjoyed when you were younger.

The revolutionary design element that makes Crystalens the state-of-the-art replacement lens are “hinges” which are designed to allow the lens to move, or accommodate to focus on objects near, far and all distances in-between seamlessly.

Unlike old-style fixed focal lenses, which didn’t move, Crystalens has the ability to move, thus focusing as your eye’s natural lens does. Dr. Bosem will take precise measurements to insure the correct power selection.

THE CRYSTALENS PROCEDURE

The medical procedure to implant the Crystalens is the same safe, proven cataract surgery performed annually on over 7 million eyes globally. Over 65 million procedures have been done in the US in the last 25 years.

Typically performed in an outpatient surgical facility, the actual surgery takes less than twenty minutes. In a pain free procedure, Dr. Bosem will place a few drops in your eye, then use an ultrasonic probe to remove the cloudy lens from your eye. The Crystalens is then gently placed where your original lens used to be. Once surgery is complete, Dr. Bosem will place additional drops in your eye to prevent infection and decrease inflammation.

WITH CRYSTALENS THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR

The Crystalens offers significant advantages over other kinds of lens implants and corrective lenses.

Standard (single vision) lens implants don’t have the ability to provide a full range of vision. Most people who have single vision lens implants MUST wear glasses for middle and near vision.

The Crystalens has the unique ability to focus on objects at varying distances using the eye’s natural muscle. This means the Crystalens can provide sharper vision, without corrective lenses, throughout a full range of vision from near to far and everything in between.

The Crystalens FDA one-year clinical study results indicate that 92% of the people enrolled in the study (implanted bilaterally) could see 20/25 or better at distance, 96% could see 20/20 at arm’s length and 73% could see 20/25 at near without glasses or contact lenses.

What is more exciting is that 98% of these people could pass their drivers test, 100% could see their computer or put on their makeup, and 98% could read a magazine, all without glasses or contact lenses. Also, your ability to see at approximately arm’s length (middle vision) will be greatly enhanced with the Crystalens.

In addition, the quality of vision compared to wearing bifocals and/or trifocals is significantly improved. You’ll have a full range of vision, without having to tilt your head to find that portion of your glasses that allows you to see clearly. You simply look at something and the Crystalens, mimicking the natural focusing ability of your eye, will automatically focus your eye at near, arm’s length, or distance.

Concerned about being able to see, has had an increase in emergency personnel having the lasik surgery procedure done. Usually they will choose the Lasik with IntraLase Method, the newest technology available. Intralase is “Bladefree” lasik with no cutting involved.

According to Dr. Marc Bosem, “While LASIK has always been a safe and effective procedure, the IntraLase Method offers patients the benefits of LASIK without the blade. With its enhanced safety profile and superior visual outcomes, the IntraLase Method is the procedure of choice for patients considering LASIK.”

This is the reason why so many emergency workers are getting the Intralase Method. It is so important to be able to see when it counts, whether you are fighting crime, fighting fires, or working long hours after a hurricance.

 One of our patients wrote:

“Being able to properly see is perhaps one of my strongest weapons as a police officer. Having to wear glasses was not just a hassle, but a real detriment to my safety on the job. I chose to have lasik with Dr. Marc Bosem using the IntraLase Method after getting recommendations from my friends and others who had had the procedure. Now, whether I’m chasing a suspect or spending time with my family, I can concentrate on what I’m doing and not worry about losing my glasses,? he stated.
 

Mark Hendrickson sought to improve his batting eye when he had LASIK surgery during the winter. But hits aren’t the only things piling up for the pitcher. So are the wins. 

Hendrickson tapped out a pair of hits Monday — and became the majors’ third pitcher to reach four wins — as the Marlins rolled to a 10-4 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.

”It’s nice to get out to a good start,” said Hendrickson, who improved his record to 4-1 while the Marlins maintained their position atop the National League East standings. “It’s nice for this team to get out to a good start. I think it builds confidence in here.”

If he fell short at all as the Marlins embarked on a weeklong trip, it was in failing to record the team’s first complete game since 2006. Hendrickson had a chance to end the drought at 200 consecutive games, but didn’t go back out for the ninth after manager Fredi Gonzalez decided 102 pitches was enough.

Not that Hendrickson cared. ”Fredi’s job is to win games, not to see his starter go complete games,” Hendrickson said.

And the Marlins (12-7) are winning at the moment. Only the 2004 Marlins, who were 13-6 after 19 games, jumped out to a better start at the same point in the season.

The outcome was never much in doubt on Monday.

Hanley Ramirez keyed a four-run second inning with his sixth home run, and the Marlins continued to pile it on Pirates starter Matt Morris and a cast of relievers, banging out 16 hits, including 11 for extra bases.

OTHER HOMERS

Josh Willingham and Dan Uggla also homered as every Marlin in the starting lineup hit safely and scored at least one run. Hendrickson, a notoriously poor hitter until choosing to have eye surgery over the winter, wasn’t left out of the offensive mix.

He doubled and singled in a run, leaving him 3 for 12 at the plate on the season.

It was after going 1 for 46 for the Los Angeles Dodgers the previous two seasons that Hendrickson decided to get his eyes fixed. Now he’s seeing results he didn’t expect — as a pitcher and hitter.

”Being honest, I’m seeing the [catcher's] glove a lot better this year, and I think that’s allowed my eyes to relax and allowed my body to relax,” he said. “And I’m able to locate pitches a lot better.”

The only other pitchers with four wins are Arizona’s Brandon Webb and Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka.

While the Marlins were piling up the runs Monday, Hendrickson was finding his groove. After giving up a pair of two-out runs in the second, he retired 15 of the next 17 batters before running into trouble in the eighth. He entered the inning with 88 pitches and a realistic shot at a complete game. The Marlins haven’t had one of those since Dontrelle Willis went the distance on Sept. 10, 2006.

But after Hendrickson gave up a leadoff single, Luis Gonzalez dropped a fly ball for an error, and Freddy Sanchez beat out an infield hit, Matt Lindstrom went to work in the Marlins’ bullpen. Hendrickson got out of the inning, allowing two runs, but Fredi Gonzalez figured enough was enough and had Lindstrom pitch the ninth.

”If he had a cleaner eighth, there was no question we would have given him the opportunity to complete the game,” Gonzalez said.

SUPPORTS SURGERY

Hendrickson hasn’t thrown on of those since 2006 when he was with Tampa Bay. Then again, he never had two hits in an entire SEASON — much less a game — until Monday. Only a diving stop by Sanchez, the Pirates’ second baseman, prevented Hendrickson from finishing the night with three hits.

No wonder he was touting eye surgery afterward.

”It’s not only changed my baseball, but it’s helped me tremendously in life a lot better,” he said. “I recommend it to anybody.”

So many people ask the question. Are my allergies going to stop me from having Lasik eye surgery? The answer is… NO, you can still have lasik surgery! So please dont let that stop you coming in and seeing if you are a candidate. Remember, Dr. Bosem is always going to check the health of your eyes. If he finds for whatever reason that you have a medical problem, he is always going to take care of the issue, and wait until you are healed to do any kind of surgery. So dont let Springtime Allergies Stop You From Freedom Of Glasses or Contacts!!!!!

We got a interesting phone call today…. From a former patient that didnt state their name, but said they have sent of referrals. They stated that we were very nice and all their friends were pleased with the Dr. and his staff.

She than said to remember: A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS LIKE A FIRE, IF YOU DONT ADD FUEL, IT WILL GO OUT!!
