Atlantic Laser Vision Center Performs 10,000 LASIK Procedures

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 11, 2008 – Daniel B Goldberg MD, FACS is the Director of Refractive Surgery at the Atlantic Laser Vision Center, which is a part of the comprehensive eye care practice at Atlantic Eye Physicians.  Established in 1998, the Atlantic Laser Vision Center was the first facility of its kind in central and southern New Jersey.  

Dr Goldberg was the first to bring many advances in LASIK to benefit patients in New Jersey.  Initially, treatment for nearsighted eyes was performed on the surface of the cornea in a procedure called PRK (photo-refractive keratectomy).  In the mid 90’s, a new procedure—LASIK was developed.  Dr Goldberg was asked to participate in the CRS Study of LASIK which led to FDA approval and in 1990 he travelled to London and Stockholm to prepare for the FDA approvals for Excimer laser treatment of nearsightedness.  

Today there are approximately 1.4 million LASIK procedures performed each year in the US.   The Atlantic Laser Vision Center is now equipped with the leading technologies used in laser vision correction.  Testing is performed with WaveScan and Orbscan to qualify patients as good candidates for LASIK, and the treatments are performed with the Intralase Femtosecond laser to perform a no-blade, all-laser treatment, and the Excimer laser treatment is then performed with computerized custom treatments on the VISX S4 Excimer laser with iris registration, tracking, and Fouriere-domain Wavescan driven custom treatments.  To learn more about these procedures,

Dr Goldberg is excited about the future of laser vision correction at the Atlantic Laser Vision Center, and is proud to have brought together the team and the technology to be the leading LASIK center in our region.  Goldberg says, “We are delighted to reach the milestone of 10000 procedures and look forward to providing the best laser vision correction in our region.”
