Any
eye condition treatable with a laser can now be completely
cared for in the Tullahoma Eye Care Center laser surgery center.
We have access to five different lasers.
Excimer
Ultraviolet Laser
1)
This laser was used for vision correction with LASIK for the
correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism,
otherwise known as LASIK. Hear
what our patients have to say about their surgeries. Learn
more about refractive
surgery.
2)
The carbon
dioxide ultrapulse laser can
lift away facial wrinkles and remove excess lid skin. This
is done by the ophthalmic plastic surgeon that visits
our office once a month from Nashville, Kimberly Klippinstein,
MD, and Ralph Wesley, MD.
3) Visudyne
laser, photodynamic therapeutic treatment (PDT) is laser that
is used for wet macular degeneration and can often times be
used in concert with injectable treatments known as Lucentis
or Avastin by the Eye Care Center retina specialist R.
Craig Collier, MD.

4)
the argon
blue-green laser. This laser is used in
glaucoma and diabetes at the Eye Care Center.
5) The
infrared YAG laser, which is presently housed at the Tullahoma
Eye Care Center, is used for regrowth or capsular opacification
after cataract surgery. The
Tullahoma Eye Care Center ophthalmologist, Dr.
Collier and Hunter
W. Norris, MD, use laser eye surgery when
necessary to correct conditions of the eye, avoid costly
hospitalization, and being able to provide the convenience
of not having to leave town for expert laser treatment
that are all approved by the FDA. Often times, the
patients’ families can even be present in the room
with the patient and even watch while the laser procedure
is being done. If you are interested in any of these
site saving measures, please contact the Eye Care Center
at 1-800-870-5473.
