LASIK IN DENVER IS BEST IN THE SUMMER

June 28, 2010 @ 08:50 PM — by Jon Dishler

Tomorrow, June 29th is the one year anniversary of appearing on the Tom Martino show, and this week we are bringing a patient who had LASIK with Dr. Jon Dishler one year ago.  Our guest, Brian, is an avid golfer, and he is going to share how having LASIK last summer improved his game both right away and now a year later.  Brian began with 20/100 vision, and had trouble with contacts drying on his eyes.  He couldn't see the alarm clock when he woke up, and he had a lot of trouble especially on windy days.  Now he can see better than 20/20 which is a common experience of our LASIK patients.  He is able to be very competitive at golf and enjoy all the activities that summer offers.

Denver LASIK first and most experienced

May 18, 2010 @ 05:27 PM — by Jon Dishler

It was early in the 1990's before anyone even thought about LASIK that we were first with another procedure, ALK.  In Automated Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK) we used a microkeratome to make a thin flap on the cornea, and then removed a small amount of corneal tissue to reduce severe nearsightedness (sound familiar?).  This procedure was an outgrowth of an even older procedure where the front of the cornea was reshaped using a lathe, that dates back about forty years!  This new procedure was a major advancement, and I published on our results with nine other doctors from around the country, many of whom are leaders in their own community in refractive vision corrective surgery.  What we learned in these procedures made us realize that although our results were promising, they were inexact and needed the refinement that a laser could offer.

Why we have maintained our current "Denver" location for over 25 years in a high rise office building that is particularly well suited as a laser vision correction center.

Guaranteed Lowest Price

July 26, 2009 @ 08:16 PM — by Jon Dishler
When considering laser vision correction, there are many things that are relevant in making that decision. First and most important are the medical issues such as whether one would benefit from vision improvement versus the risks of undergoing an elective procedure. Next there are the logistical considerations of who and where would make the most sense for an individual. Finally, there are the financial considerations of affordability and relative cost at different centers. Everyone likes to get good value for the money they spend, and it would seem that like many commodity purchases, the lowest price would be the best. In a complex purchase, it is more difficult to obtain clarity of the cost and value even more than understanding the clarity that can be obtained by the procedure itself. We invite you to read our belief about cost and LASIK and please comment whether this makes sense to you and any suggestions how we might improve our ability to offer you the best vision correction at the most affordable cost. Thank you. sy4r8tf7c9
