Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center, First LASIK Practice in Tarrant County to Feature Latest Advancement in All-Laser LASIK Technology

Arlington, Texas, February 6, 2009 – Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center in Arlington, Texas announced today that it is the first LASIK practice in Tarrant County to add the iFS Femtosecond laser to its list of the world’s most advanced LASIK technology.

FDA-approved in May of 2008, the iFS Femtosecond laser has raised the world’s standards for optimal vision results with the Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK procedure. This innovative laser system offers a faster and more controlled procedure during creation of the LASIK flap, the first step in the Blade-Free HD IntraLASIK process that allows access to the patient’s cornea. The iFS Femtosecond laser creates what has also been called “The 10-Second Flap” through unprecedented speed and accuracy, and is designed to deliver biomechanically engineered flaps customized for each individual cornea. Because of its extraordinary speed and precision, utilization of the iFS Femtosecond laser offers less discomfort for the patient, reduced tissue response and less inflammation for a more comfortable post-operative recovery.

“The iFS Femtosecond laser has not only raised standards of accuracy during the first stages of LASIK surgery, but has also optimized the results our practice is capable of providing to our patients,” said David Kleiman, M.D., founder and chief surgeon of Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center. “We are proud to be the first LASIK practice to bring such advanced medical innovations to patients throughout Tarrant County who deserve the best eye-care treatments available.”

LASIK vs. Wearing Contacts or Glasses Over a Lifetime

Posted Monday, July 7, 2008 by lasiksurgery

If you wear contacts or glasses and have considered LASIK Surgery but are concerned about the cost, think about this – LASIK will pay for itself in about three years.

How could that be? Consider that LASIK is a one-time fee, while glasses and contact lenses require a lifetime commitment.

A doctor’s visit to examine your eyes every two years is the recommended guideline for people who wear glasses. If your prescription has changed, you will need new glasses with lenses and frames. Even if you’re fortunate not to need a stronger prescription, you may still want new frames to update your appearance. In addition, some people have more than one pair of glasses just in case one gets broken or misplaced. And let’s face it, glasses, especially designer frames, are increasingly expensive and usually not covered by your health care plan.

If you wear contacts, you will have monthly costs for new lenses and supplies, along with an eye examination every two years. That doesn’t include emergency doctor visits if you develop eye irritation or an infection from wearing the contacts.

The Real Costs of LASIK

Posted Monday, July 7, 2008 by lasiksurgery

Whether you wear glasses or contacts, don’t forget the need for prescription sunglasses.

Let’s take a look at the math. Here are the national averages for glasses and contacts:

Doctor visit $150 every two years
Prescription glasses $320 every two years
Contacts $48 a month
Contact Supplies $12 a month
Prescription sunglasses $270 every two years

Here is the national average for LASIK: $1,644 per eye – a one-time charge. Plus, after LASIK you will no longer need to pay for expensive prescription sunglasses. Why not put the money you would spend on glasses and contacts to better use in a long-term savings retirement plan?

To make LASIK convenient and affordable for virtually any budget, Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center features multiple financing and payment options to aid in your purchase of the LASIK procedure.

Change 100 Lives in 100 Minute

Posted Monday, July 7, 2008 by lasiksurgery

ARLINGTON, TX. -- During just 100 minutes April 9, Dr. Anthony W. Evangelista will be one of 100 surgeons nationwide who will change the lives of 100 low-income people whose failing eyesight will go from murky to new-found clarity at all distances with crystalens® cataract-lens implants ... free of charge.

The program – Changing 100 Lives in 100 Minutes – not only can improve patients’ eyesight dramatically, but many patients may never need eyeglasses again.

Bausch & Lomb, which manufactures the innovative crystalens intraocular lens for cataracts, will donate 100 pairs of these lenses – not generally covered by private insurance or Medicare. Then, from coast to coast, 100 participating ophthalmologists -- including Dr. Evangelista (see biography below) -- will perform crystalens implantation surgeries simultaneously during the next hour and 40 minutes ... at no additional charge.

This national effort will begin promptly at 7:30 a.m. Eastern daylight time with the implantation of the 100,000th crystalens.

Crystalens is the only intraocular lens that uses eye muscles to focus in much the same way as the eye’s natural lens, and is designed to provide clear vision at all distances ... near, intermediate and far. The crystalens design is based on the human eye and uses the eye muscle to focus on objects at all distances. It is the only lens to use the eye’s natural focusing ability and is the first and only such lens to be approved by the FDA. Few crystalens patients have experienced problems with night vision, halos or glare.
