Dr. Dean Dornic has become well known for his experience and success with LASIK surgery, and although he has performed thousands of successful LASIK procedures, he is definitely far from a one trick pony. Dr. Dean Dornic also offers his patients wave front-guided LASIK, LASEK, PRK, LTK, Intacs, CK, AK, refractive lens exchange and implantable contact lenses. Dean Dornic strives to provide patients in the Carolinas with the most cutting edge options in vision correction, and he aims to do so with the greatest proficiency and attention to detail.
One of the laser eye surgeries that have been the most successful for Dr. Dean Dornic and his patients is LTK, which is short for Laser Thermal Keratoplasty. This surgery was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000 to treat mild hyperopia, or farsightedness. Dr. Dean Dornic uses a Holium YAG laser to perform LTK surgeries, which causes a series of heated spots to appear in concentric circles on the patient's cornea. This causes collagen within the cornea to lightly shrink without causing much discomfort to the patient. When Dr. Dean Dornic performs this surgery he aims to steepen the cornea and reduce hyperopia, and he has had great success.
Patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses for up-close or reading vision can contact Dean Dornic and the staff at his laser vision correction center in Cary, North Carolina for more information. Many people have already come to Dr. Dean Dornic for his services and have found this and other surgeries to be greatly beneficial to their lives. The best thing about LTK, however, is that it only takes about 30 seconds. Dr. Dean Dornic has a skilled hand and can complete the procedure quickly and with very little discomfort.
If you are thinking about LTK or many of the other procedures to correct your vision, you might also be surprised to find that Dean Dornic is the only one in the area offering them. He believes in being on the cutting edge, which means offering much more than LASIK.
