Laser eye surgery over 40

NO-CUT LASER surgery can help a majority of individuals over the age of 18, and within that a large percentage of those who wish to get NO-CUT treatment are over 40. The first question that many ask is what really is NO-CUT? NO-CUT LASER – or Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis – is a non-invasive vision correction procedure done on men and women of all ages. NO-CUT is what we call Advanced Surface Ablation Laser  Vision corrective surgery, which in summary, means that no cutting of the eye  is involved. This proves the procedure very non-invasive. In LASIK procedures, with an I, it involves cutting a flap in the cornea of the eye. This flap will begin to heal, but never heal100%. With the NO-CUT offered by Dr. Goldberg, the procedure is much SAFER and the recovery time minimized.

Patients over 40 often opt for NO-CUT. As we get older, our vision worsens in regards to objects that are near. This creates symptoms of farsightedness, the ability to see farther away but what is close up can be blurry. This particular farsightedness that affects those over 40 is called presbyopia. Patients with presbyopia come to rely on glasses or contact lenses for daily tasks such as reading, sewing, or watching television. Presbyopia is caused by loss of elasticity of the lens of the eye. In comparison, conditions such as astigmatism, farsightedness, relate to the shape of the cornea, rather than the lens.

So why NO-CUT? NO-CUT is a painless procedure which gives up to 99% chance for 20/20 vision. Anaesthetic drops are placed in the eyes to ensure the procedure is painless. Following the procedure, there is little to no discomfort. As well, NO-CUT is very safe, with a less than 2% chance of minor complications. Even so, these minor complications are treatable within the office. NO-CUT surgery is also an outpatient procedure, and after the procedure has completed, you will be headed home to heal and soon be back to your regular work and activities. Rather than having the inconvenience of glasses and contacts, NO-CUT surgery has shown stability for the patient after 10 years.
