LASIK: Why Doing Better is Important – writes Dr Rick Wolfe
In a recent article titled “LASIK: Why Doing Better is Important”, published in the mivision journal, Dr Rick Wolfe discusses why “LASIK should aim to improve vision in every measurable and subjective way”.

SMILE laser eye surgery – No big grin – writes Dr Rick Wolfe
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction), also referred to as ‘keyhole laser eye surgery’ is a new treatment for short-sightedness (myopia). SMILE uses only one of the lasers we use in LASIK; the femtosecond laser and not the excimer laser. Instead of creating a flap, as we do in LASIK, it cuts out a sliver of tissue (a lenticule) from within the cornea.

IOL surgery astigmatism elimination – writes Dr Rick Wolfe
In a recent article titled “IOL Surgery Astigmatism Elimination”, published in the mivision journal, Dr Rick Wolfe discusses a new paradigm in IOL surgery: astigmatism elimination rather than astigmatism reduction. “A quiet revolution has occurred in intraocular lens (IOL) surgery. It has come not from one remarkable development, but rather from a fortunate confluence of several. For me, this is the most exciting thing to happen in IOL surgery and one I am privileged to be a part of.” Dr Rick Wolfe writes.
