Columbia Laser Vision Correction

Are you tired of your vision continually getting worse? Do you wish you could see objects far away from you, without glasses? In the rapidly growing field of vision correction surgery, a permanent cure for severe near-sightedness is now offered. Dr. Richard E. Braunstein, MD uses his expertise to deliver effective cornea implant surgery, which may be what you need to restore your vision. As director of Columbia Laser Vision Correction located in Manhattan, New York City, Dr. Braunstein sees to it that his patients get safe and efficient treatment. During cornea implant surgery, phakic intraocular lenses, which resemble contact lenses, are permanently placed in the eye. Today, two types of lenses are used widely, including the Verisyse phakic IOL which is inserted and attached to the iris. The folded Visian ICL is inserted just behind the eye's iris and in front of the natural lens. After the Visian ICL is placed in the eye through a micro-incision, the artificial lens unfolds to its full width. Cornea Implant Surgery has a great advantage; the eye's natural lens is not removed. Therefore, the patient is able to retain the eye's existing focusing ability for near vision.

With over ten years of experience in New York City, Dr. Braunstein can be depended upon to bring optimal results. He is a board certified doctor of both the American Board of Ophthalmology and the American Board of Internal Medicine, and teaches new surgical techniques to other physicians. Dr. Richard E.
