Blepharitis - (blef-uh-RI-tus) Chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It can be caused by an allergic reaction to some product, excess oil excreted by eyelid glands, bacterial infection, or poor facial hygiene.

Blind Spot - (a) The place on the retina where the optic nerve enters the eye. No visual cells are on the retina here, so no vision is possible at this place. In this sense, it’s a normal thing. (b) Also refers to any gap in a person’s visual field that corresponds to any area on the retina where visual cells are missing and in this sense, it’s associated with eye disease.

Regression - Return of the cornea after PRK or LASIK to its original refractive error. Post-surgical healing happens on both the surface (epithelium) where the flap was created and in the stroma (next level down, treated by the laser), and these two layers heal at slightly different rates. The planned treatment is designed to slightly overcorrect the refractive error so that after healing, the eye will have no refractive error. But some patients heal more quickly and vigorously than was expected, so that the cornea restores itself back to its original shape, and this is known as regression. See also undercorrection.

Dr William Boothe: Convex Lens - Lenses with the opposite curvature to concave lenses. They bulge outwards like a ball and are used to correct hyperopia and presbyopia.

Cornea - (KOR-nee-uh) The front clear part of the eye in front of the pupil and iris. It acts as a lens, refracting light rays as they enter the eye. The eye’s crystalline lens refracts them further to focus them on the retina at the back of the eye. The cornea also allows light to pass out through it, making the iris visible, the eye’s color.

Phacoemulsification - (fay-koh-ee-mul-sih-fih-KAY-shun) A surgical procedure which breaks up a lens containing a cataract, to make it easier to remove. It uses an incision of about 3 mm, through which the tip of an instrument delivers ultrasonic vibration. The resulting tiny pieces of lens material are removed by suction through that same instrument. A foldable artificial lens can be inserted through that same incision and the incision heals by itself.

William Boothe: Aniseikonia - (a-neece-eye-KON-ee-a) An impaired type of binocular vision where the left and right retinal images are of different sizes. It can occur naturally, and is sometimes induced by refractive surgery.

Anterior - An anatomical term meaning the front part of a structure as opposed to the posterior, the back part.

Strabismus - (struh-BIZ-mus) Also known as crossed eyes and turned eye. A vision condition where the eyes cannot be aligned. One eye turns out, up, or down while the other looks ahead, or both eyes may turn. It can be constant or intermittent. Strabismus impairs vision, as it reduces depth perception.

If you're having both eyes done the same day, the surgeon will probably do the other eye after a short period of time. Dr. Boothe, some people choose to have their second eye done a week later. The doctor may prescribe medication for any postoperative pain, but many people feel no more than mild discomfort after LASIK. That's one advantage over PRK, which can be quite painful afterward.
The most important aspect of a successful business is developing the correct mindset toward your customers. And this is not the over used phrase The customer is always right. Actually the correct mindset we are referring to here is to always think in terms of benefits for your customers. The highly successful businessperson thinks of ways to show interest in their customers even before they come into their store. Dr William Boothe link
They endeavor to educate the customer on the benefits of their products and services. They make their products and services stand out in their customer's mind. Some marketing experts think of this in terms of a USP or Unique Selling Proposition. Or what are the unique selling characteristics that separate your products and services and make them stand out from your competition. Here is an exercise I suggest you do and then repeat at regular intervals.

Dr Boothe Lasik Surgeon A pioneer in the field of refractive surgery, Dr. William Boothe was one of the first cornea specialists to be trained in vision correction techniques during his Fellowship. In addition, he was the first cornea-trained surgeon in the Dallas area to use an FDA-approved Excimer laser for refractive surgery.
Dr. Boothe was among the first three surgeons in the Dallas area (and one of the first in the country) to use a microkeratome, the instrument that creates the flap during the initial part of ALK and LASIK surgery. The delicate procedure of precisely lifting the flap is critical to overall success of the surgery.
