Palm Beach / Ft. Lauderdale LASIK Eye Surgery with Dr. Nelson Preschel
Dr. Preschel and his staff frequently perform LASIK laser eye surgery, an advanced treatment option for patients wishing to restore their vision to 20/20 or better and eliminate the need for traditional eyewear. During the procedure, Dr. Preschel uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap, then utilizes the latest state-of-the-art lasers to gently reshape the eye's cornea. Using the femtosecond laser eliminates the need for a microkeratome, a sharp surgical tool designed to create incisions in the eye. It also leads to a maximum level of precision and expedites healing time.
In addition to LASIK, Dr. Preschel and his staff also perform PRK for patients who may not be good candidates for LASIK. PRK, also known as advanced surface ablation, does not involve the creation of the corneal flap and is often the best treatment option for patients whose corneas may be too thin for LASIK.

Dr. Preschel also specializes in treating cataracts, which often affect individuals over the age of 45. This condition, in which the eye's lens becomes cloudy, often leads to dull, blurry vision and cannot be corrected or prevented through corrective eyewear. A well-trained cataract surgeon, Dr. Preschel uses the most advanced methods to remove the cataracts and replace the eye's natural lens with an artificial implant that can restore vision, often at all distances. Although some patients may still depend on glasses for reading, intraocular lens implants used during cataract surgery, such as ReSTOR, ReZoom and Crystalens, can improve many vision impairments. Individuals who are experiencing blurry vision should schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Preschel, known as one of the best Palm Beach / Ft. Lauderdale cataract surgeons, to find out if they qualify for cataract surgery.
