LASIK: WAVEFRONT GUIDED VS. OPTIMIZED TREATMENTS by Dr. Martha Jay, Ophthalmologist at Lakeshore Eye Care Professionals in Mequon and Saukville, Wisconsin
Monday, February 27th, 2012
If you have looked into LASIK vision correction lately, you may have become confused about the difference between wavefront guided versus wavefront optimized treatments. Wavefront treatments correct not just near-sightedness and astigmatism but also for other aspects of your vision called higher order aberrations. This is a physics term to describe the complexities of exactly how light enters your eye and is different for every person and every eye.
The VISX Star S4 laser that we use for LASIK vision correction is a wavefront guided system. That means that it allows us to individually measure the higher order aberrations of each and every patient and then customize their treatment to allow better vision after the procedure. Less advanced laser systems, while cheaper, are wavefront optimized meaning that they apply the same higher order aberration correction to each treatment – not individualizing the correction to the specific patient.
Martha F. Jay, Ph.D., M.D.
Most of the attention lately has been around how we generate the flap at the beginning of the LASIK procedure, whether with a laser or a blade, but the second part of the procedure is equally important. We provide blade-free iLASIK vision correction with wavefront guided corrections for all of our patients so they can benefit from this advanced technology. Just another reason to call for your free, no-pressure LASIK screening exam to see if iLASIK is an option for you!
Dr. Martha Jay is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist (Eye Physician and Surgeon) practicing at Lakeshore Eye Care Professionals with offices in Mequon & Saukville, Wisconsin. She has been exclusively been offering blade-free iLASIK vision correction since 2005 so has extensive experience in this more advanced procedure.

LASIK for Christmas: The Gift of Sight by Dr. Martha Jay, Ophthalmologist, Mequon and Saukville, Wisconsin
Monday, November 28th, 2011
Oh no, the holidays are fast approaching! Are you again stymied about a gift for your young adult son or daughter? Consider the gift of sight: LASIK vision correction. Not only would LASIK help launch them into the future, this gift also saves them money in the long run. A 25 year-old wearing contact lenses can expect to spend more than $20,000 on contacts and solutions over their lifetime. So LASIK is really a bargain. And blade-free iLASIK is now so precise it’s approved by NASA for their astronauts and the Navy for their “Top Gun” fighter pilots.
If you are considering LASIK as a gift, you should talk it over with the one you have in mind. Find out if they can spare an hour for a free screening exam to determine if they are an appropriate candidate. The actual LASIK procedure would require 2 days out of their normal schedule for the surgery and healing.
LASIK is ideal for active people. Skiing, swimming, biking and other outdoor activities are more fun without the hassles of glasses or contacts. It also simplifies life which is especially appreciated by those starting families or careers. The most common comment we get from our LASIK patients is that they wish they had done it sooner – they consider it a life changing event. So why not help your son or daughter along?

iLASIK and Flex Plans by Dr. Martha Jay, LASIK Surgeon in Mequon and Saukville, Wisconsin
Monday, October 24th, 2011
Martha F. Jay, Ph.D., M.D.
You’ve been thinking about LASIK for years and have just gone through another summer hassling with your contacts and glasses. In the long run you actually save money on LASIK compared to the cost of contacts and glasses. But don’t forget about yet other way reason to turn to LASIK: The added savings provided by using your Flex Spending Plan at work. Fall is generally the time to plan for the next year if you want to take advantage of these added savings. But before committing the funds, be sure to come in for your free screening exam.
Not everyone is a candidate for blade-free iLASIK so the screening exam is critical. We check your prescription, shape and thickness of your cornea, general eye health and many other factors. It also gives you a change to meet our great team at Lakeshore Eye Care and learn more about iLASIK.
Even if you know you have a Flex Plan at work, the rules vary depending on your employer so be sure to check with your Human Resource officer. By using pre-tax dollars from your Flex Plan, you can make LASIK even more affordable. But if you don’t have such a plan at work, there are other ways to finance iLASIK. We have interest-free financing arranged through CareCredit and accept most major credit cards.
We offer the exact same blade-free iLASIK procedure at Lakeshore Eye that the Navy has found to be safe and precise enough for their “Top Gun” pilots. It’s over in minutes and pain-free. So don’t miss out on your chance to make this remarkable procedure more affordable in 2012.
Dr. Martha Jay was the first eye surgeon in the Milwaukee area to use a laser for refractive surgery. Since then, thousands of Milwaukee area residents have benefited from her expertise. She and her team at Lakeshore Eye care take the time to explain every detail in advance so there are no surprises. Call today for your complimentary, no-pressure screening exam at 262-241-1919.

NOT ALL LASIK IS CREATED EQUAL by Dr. Martha Jay, LASIK Surgeon in the Milwaukee Area
Monday, August 29th, 2011
iLASIK with IntraLase and VISX Star4 S4 Lasers
If you are interested in LASIK the first thing you need to know is that “Not all LASIK is created equal.” The key elements to success with LASIK involve taking advantage of the latest blade-free technology, selecting an experienced LASIK surgeon and being sure your follow-up care is done by the doctor – not delegated to para-professionals.
A common question posed to our staff is: “How much is LASIK?” This misses the point. Price is not the most important factor. You only have LASIK once so you want it done right. Your decision about how and where to have your LASIK procedure will affect your vision for the rest of your life.
But you are in luck, right here in Ozaukee County you have one of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in Wisconsin. In fact I was the first doctor in the Milwaukee area to use a laser for refractive surgery and to adopt blade-free LASIK. Thousands of my patients have experienced freedom from glasses and contact lenses after refractive surgery. .
Martha F. Jay, Ph.D., M.D.
Since 2005 I have been exclusively offering blade-free LASIK. By using two lasers instead of one it is almost impossible to have a complication during the procedure. This added precision convinced the Navy to allow their “Top Gun” fighter pilots to have LASIK with the exact same equipment I use in my practice.
So have LASIK but do it right. Take the first step today by calling 262-241-1919 for your free screening exam to see if LASIK is an option for you. Visit our web site at www.LakeShoreVision.com for more information.

CONTACT LENSES VS. LASIK by Dr. Martha Jay, Milwaukee Area Ophthalmologist
Sunday, May 29th, 2011
Trying to weigh the benefits of contact lenses versus LASIK? You are not alone. If you liked glasses, you would stay with them. Let’s consider cost, convenience and safety.
As far as cost is concerned, contact lenses lose out to LASIK. Let’s say that you are 30 years-old and wear disposable contact lenses. If you calculate your lifetime cost of contacts, glasses and solutions it would come to $21,900! See our web site for a link to iLASIK to see what your projected lifetime contact lens expenses are.
Now convenience takes less explanation. Traveling with contacts, glasses, solutions, contact cases, prescription sunglasses, and non-prescription sunglasses is one thing but LASIK simplifies your life in other ways also. You just get up and go in the morning or when checking on your child during the night. You can get of-the-rack sunglasses and even replace them on a whim.
LASIK is so safe it is approved for Navy "Top Gun" fighter pilots
That leaves safely. We see many severe corneal ulcers every month in contact lens wearers and have never seen one in a LASIK patient. These are especially common in those who sleep in their contacts. With LASIK you have a 99% chance of being happy with your procedure.
LASIK is so safe and convenient that it is approved for Top-Gun Navy pilots and astronauts. All that and you save money too! Isn’t it time to call for your free screening exam to see if LASIK is an option for you? See you soon.
Dr. Martha Jay is a board certified ophthalmologist who has been practicing in the Milwaukee area since 1992 when she completed her ophthalmology residency at Northwestern University in Chicago. She was one of the first doctors in the area to recognize the benefits of blade-free LASIK and is still one of the most experienced LASIK surgeons in the Milwaukee area. When you select Dr. Jay for your LASIK procedure you are assured that you will benefit from the latest technology available and a local doctor you can trust. AND you care will not be delegated to para-professionals. You will see Dr. Jay at each and every appointment from your first screening, you surgery and through your one year of post-operative care.

All these activities will be easier without hassling with contact lenses or glasses. LASIK actually simplifies your life which a life change we can all embrace.
