Personalized Patient Care
As a highly experienced West Palm Beach LASIK surgeon, Dr. Katzen understands proper patient screening and preparation are vital aspects of a successful LASIK treatment. This is why he personally performs all patient evaluations to determine if they could benefit from laser eye surgery. While many nearsighted, farsighted and astigmatic individuals are candidates for LASIK, this procedure is not for everyone. For example, patients with thin corneas and/or keratoconus typically are cautioned against undergoing laser eye surgery in Palm Beach.
In certain cases, however, patients who do not qualify for LASIK can obtain clear vision without glasses through Visian ICL procedure. During this treatment, Dr. Katzen places state-of-the-art lens implants in front of the patients' natural lenses. The artificial lenses help focus light properly, thus improving patients' vision at various distances. While this procedure is appropriate for most patients, only a thorough consultation with Dr. Katzen can help you determine which vision correction treatments are most suitable for you.
