As people get older, they oftentimes lose the ability to see close objects.  While their distance vision is probably superlative, they will most likely need glasses for reading or any other close-up activity.  Until the advent of PresbyLASIK, the only option was bifocal or multifocal glasses.  Traditional LASIK eye surgery could only change one aspect of their vision problems, it could allow them to see up close again, but only by sacrificing distance vision.  PresbyLASIK has solved this problem by reshaping the cornea to be able to function normally at near, middle, and far distances.

Before the development of LASIK technology, PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) laser eye surgery was able to alleviate many of the problems associated with farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism.  While most doctors now use LASIK for their eye surgery, PRK is still valuable when treating patients who have thin corneas, for whom LASIK will not work.   The only top layer of the eye surface, the epithelium, is removed during this surgery.  This leaves a thin cornea more intact than would be the case with LASIK.

LASIK is the most exciting advancement in the field of eye care since the invention of the contact lens. LASIK has become one of the fastest growing elective surgeries in America and hundreds of thousands of successful procedures are performed each year.

There are over 120 million Americans who are nearsighted and almost 70 million that are farsighted. It is our goal at Manhattan LASIK Center to help people eliminate their need for glasses and contact lenses and enjoy life to the fullest.

Dr. Kevin Niksarli, of Manhattan LASIK Center states that the study suggested that no instrument was superior over the others, and all three instruments were very reliable

Dr. Niksarli assesses the repeatability of measurements of higher order aberrations using three different aberrometers and to compare higher order aberration measurements between optical path difference (OPD) scanning and the Hartmann-Shack method.

The study was designed and conducted with collaboration of Drs. Ahmet Burakgazi, Bernard Tinio, Alejandro Bababyan, Kevin Niksarli, and Penny Asbell.

Wavefront aberration data obtained using the NIDEK OPD-Scan, Bausch & Lomb Zywave wavefront aberrometer, and VISX CustomVue wavefront analyzer were compared.

A total of 19 subjects were included in the study. Repeatability errors in all three machines were found to be low, suggesting that all three machines are reliable in their repeated measurements. Significant differences were demonstrated between OPD scanning and Hartmann-Shack aberrometers.

All three machines showed statistically significant differences in several higher order aberration parameters when compared to each other.

Dr. Niksarli, concludes that the three different aberrometers provided repeatable measurements, but statistical differences were noted in the measurement of higher order aberrations when comparing the machines.

The study suggested that no instrument was superior over the others, and all three instruments were very reliable.

Here is a testimonial about one patients experience following LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Kevin Niksarli.

I came to Manhattan Lasik Center at the recommendation of my sister who is also a patient here. From the moment I walked into the laser center I was treated very well. The Drs. and assistants are all very courteous and friendly and they make you feel at ease. The procedure went exceptionally well and I’ve been 20/20 for almost a year now without any problems or side effects.
I highly recommend LASIK and Manhattan Lasik Center to anyone who suffers from nearsightedness, astigmatism and farsightedness. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the results.

Thank you for everything!

Loving it

Since the age of six I’ve worn glasses and contact lenses. I was the guy who couldn’t see the “Big E” on the chart. Finally, I heard about PRK about 10 years ago. I immediately investigated only to be disappointed and to know that my vision was well beyond the possibility of correction through PRK. When LASIK was approved, I was ready in a heartbeat and couldn’t be happier with the results. Read the rest of this entry »

Epi-LASIK eye surgery is a fairly new procedure that seeks to provide a combination of LASIK, LASEK, and PRK for the correction of farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism says, Kevin Niksarli, MD. This laser eye surgery technique is especially useful for people who have a thin cornea, and would thus be ineligible for regular LASIK treatment.  Epi-LASIK is also sometimes recommended for people who will be engaged in heavy physical activity where the flap created by ordinary LASIK might be damaged.
