After being to about three other doctors, I was glad to hear that, along with one other doctor, Dr Rubinfeld advised me that Lasik was not an option for me.

My daughter and I are both thrilled.
My horse ironically has only one eye. So, sometimes during the worst of my allergies and contact trouble, I’d be riding along and all of a sudden we’d only …
It’s the same story we’ve all heard before. Eat well, exercise, don’t smoke, and take your vitamins. More than half of all Americans do take a nutritional supplement daily. But do they improve general health and could they help preserve our precious gift of sight? Which ones are the most effective?
International tennis star Jennifer Capriati is a Washington DC LASIK patient who had laser eye surgery performed by Dr. Roy Rubinfeld. A few months later she won the first of her many Grand Slam Championships. "I definitely owe a lot of my success to my LASIK [and Washington Eye Physicians]," said Jennifer. She is delighted with her new vision, and we are very proud of her.
According to Time Magazine, Dr. J Craig Venter broke the human genetic code to "change medicine forever." Dr Venter had laser vision correction at Washington Eye Physicians.
The most common excimer laser procedure to correct vision is called LASIK. In LASIK, a flap is made in the cornea, the laser is applied to improve the focus of the eye, and then the flap is replaced. Although it is the best choice for most people, for some patients LASIK is not the safest or best way to use the excimer laser to correct their vision.
Our doctors are among a small group of surgeons implanting the crystalens® and ReSTOR® intraocular lenses. These recently approved technologies are cataract replacement lenses that provide a quality of vision similar to what you enjoyed when you were younger. They can eliminate the need for glasses after cataract surgery... crystalens® on NBC and in the Washington Post.
TRUE OR FALSE:
- The U.S. military has approved laser vision correction for active duty combat personnel.
- Serious complications occur in 5% of all LASIK procedures.
- Astigmatism cannot be eliminated by LASIK.
- LASIK costs more than a lifetime of contact lenses.
- Most LASIK patients have problems with nighttime glare and halos.
ANSWERS:
- True. The US military has approved LASIK for active duty combat personnel. In fact, Washington Eye surgeons have performed laser vision correction on many members of our armed forces including F-18 jet fighter pilots and Navy SEALS.
- False. In the hands of highly experienced laser surgeons, serious complications are rare with some estimates in the 1 in 1,000 range. The risk of having an auto accident in the US each year is 1 in 70 and the risk of having a potentially serious infection from wearing contact lenses for 10 years is 1 in 250. In the rare event a serious LASIK problem occurs, most can be resolved.
- False. Astigmatism has been successfully treated with the excimer laser since 1997.
- False. The total cost of wearing soft daily disposable contact lenses for 10 years is approximately $5,000. After the 10 years of inconvenience and cost of contacts, you will still have poor vision without glasses.
- False. According to FDA clinical data, most patients who had state of the art custom LASIK found their night vision actually improved.
