Dr William Boothe Sjogren’s Syndrome - A chronic autoimmune disease where white blood cells attack glands which produce moisture, as in the eyes and mouth. About 90% of sufferers are female, and although it can occur at any age, it usually begins in the late 40s. About half the time it occurs along with certain other autoimmune diseases, such as Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is systemic and can affect the digestive tract, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and other organs. Symptoms include fatigue and joint pain, as well as dryness in the affected areas.

Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy - The most common corneal dystrophy. An eye condition where the membrane that lies beneath the epithelial cells (surface cells) of the cornea is uneven and traps cells below it which should normally rise above it. It impairs vision, is usually hereditary, and fluctuates in severity over the person's lifetime. It's also called Map-Dot-Fingerprint Dystrophy (a name based on how it looks microscopically), and Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses - Also known as Gas-Permeable (GP) or oxygen-permeable contact lenses. Contact lenses which allows air to pass through them. They are hard, but more flexible than the older-style “hard” contact lenses which were used before 1971. They contain silicone, which is flexible and since it allows oxygen to pass through it, these lenses are more comfortable and healthier for the eye, which needs lots of oxygen.

Phakic Intraocular Lens (P-IOL) - A removable artificial lens which is placed in front of the natural lens, to increase its focusing ability.( DR WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - EYE SURGERY)

Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK) - A refractive surgery like LASIK, where an excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. It’s used for those who have corneas too thin to tolerate a LASIK procedure. Instead of the microkeratome being used to create the corneal flap, the laser is used, which can do it even more precisely and subtly than the microkeratome.

Lower Order Aberrations - The name for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. These are the conditions measured to determine a prescription for glasses or contact lenses, and that can be corrected with refractive eye surgery such as LASIK. The higher order aberrations are more numerous and still be researched and some examples are: halos, glare, and double vision.

Food and Drug Administration - The U.S. federal agency in charge of evaluating and approving medical devices (and other things). It’s not responsible for new medical procedures, just for how the new devices are used. For example, it has approved of excimer lasers for treating nearsightedness.( DR. WILLIAM A. BOOTHE - LASIK)

LASIK EYE - Dr William Boothe Keratoconus - (kehr-uh-toh-KOH-nus) A thinning of the central cornea. Instead of being smooth and round, it develops a bulge in the center which deflects light entering the eye, severely impairing vision. It is an inherited disease and may require corneal transplant surgery.

Intraocular Lens a lens that is surgically implanted inside the eye.

High blood-sugar levels from diabetes can damage blood vessels in your retina, the nerve layer of tissue at the back of your eye. This damage is called diabetic retinopathy.

Broadbeam - The term used for applying the excimer laser to the entire treatment area at one time. It’s the typical way laser treatment is done for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. See also Flying Spot and Variable Spot( LASIK EYE - DR WILLIAM BOOTHE)

Dr William A. Boothe Preventing the contamination of pink eye is the best method for both those infected and those nearby infected people. Washing your hands frequently will support the removal of many possible allergic agents or bacteria from getting into the eyes. Not sharing towels, washcloths, napkins, and other wiping items will minimize pink eye outbreaks. Households exposed to pink eye, particularly with kids, should disinfect commonly touched areas like doorknobs, television remotes, computer keyboards, and others. Contact lens wearers should discontinue use and even possibly replace the lenses if infected when wearing them. Ask a doctor if unsure about infected lenses. Another good countermeasure is to avoid sharing other eye touching items, chiefly with someone who is diagnosed with pink eye. These items include eye drops, mascara, goggles, sunglasses, and tons of other products. Prevention is the best way of preventing the development and spread of conjunctivitis and for parents, this means explaining and showing kids how to be careful.

Complex Wavefront Retreatment - An off-label use of the excimer laser to do corrective secondary surgery after the original wavefront-guided surgery has left the patient with higher-order aberrations.
