 Many common eye conditions are treated routinely with lasers, which are intensely concentrated, finely focused beams of light ideal for performing extremely delicate surgeries.
There is more than one kind of laser used in eye surgery.
For example, a "diode laser" is used to treat the effects of glaucoma, diabetes and macular degeneration.
A "YAG laser" removes capsular opacity (often referred to as a "secondary cataract") following lens implant surgery, while a "CO2 laser" reduces bleeding in eyelid surgery.
Laser vision correction, which involves reshaping the cornea to reduce or eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, uses an "excimer laser."
Regardless of the condition for which you or a member of your
family may seek treatment, you can be confident that you will
receive the very latest in proven skills and laser technology at
the Medical Eye Center, Oregon's first eye surgery center fully
accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory
Health Care. Your surgical team of Board-certified doctors and
staff is devoted exclusively to the eye, performing thousands of
successful procedures every year.
By the way... Contrary to popular belief, cataracts are not treated with a laser but with sound. The most advanced technique uses an ultrasound probe to remove the clouded lens through a micro-surgical incision, a routine procedure performed often by Medical Eye Center surgeons.
