The #STAGING of Two Steps for Complex #RadialKeratotomy Eyes:
Professional Golfer who travelled from the Northwest Testifies.
With over 3 decades of experience in correcting some of the world’s most complex Radial Keratotomy eyes for a global patient clientele, Dr. Gulani also has pioneered STAGING techniques in extremely complex radial keratotomy eyes where he first performs the most important and intricate surgery, which is the LenzOplastique based Cataract surgery to then be followed by LaZrPlastique to modify the cornea while correcting shape, scars, irregularity and optical coherence to match the internal optics of that unmeasurable radial keratotomy eye, straight to Vision and Anatomical restoration.
The stage I of Lens based surgery is not necessarily to improve vision as much as it is to make that “unmeasurable” and “unpredictable” eye “measurable”, following which a timeline is set by Dr. Gulani for each individual case where he looks for “Stability “ before proceeding with stage II that will take that patient to the vision and anatomical restoration that was designed for them for their best and long term outcome.
These strict timelines are based on his three decades of track record which patients adhere to for their best outcomes and fly back from all over the world for the planned steps as he completes their planned process
Wearing any #ScleralContact lens in this interim is a detriment to that goal, while also changing the timeline can adversely impact that planned outcome of vision freedom.
Radial Keratotomy patients, in particular those who have fallen for additional corneal procedures like #Lasik, #PRK, #Crosslinking or Topography guided surgeries are at a higher disadvantage because their already unmeasurable Radial keratotomy eye becomes even more difficult to measure for their final surgery, which should be cataract surgery. These patients in particular benefit from this Staging concept.
