Senior Eye Health
As we age, our vision can deteriorate. The surgeons at Bond Eye Associates have helped thousands of people enjoy better vision. They can treat any of these conditions that commonly affect seniors:
Macular Degeneration happens when an area at the back of the eye begins to gradually deteriorate, usually because of age. A partial or total loss of central vision can occur. There are treatments available for some types of macular degeneration.
Cataracts: Over fifty percent of people over the age of 60 (and quite a few younger than that) suffer from cataracts. When decreased vision affects your everyday activities or hobbies, a cataract should be treated.

Questions
Is all Laser Vision Correction the Same?
No. Many of the discount LASIK centers want you to believe that LASIK should be purchased like a commodity and that surgeon experience, lasers, technology and follow-up care don't matter. Our website outlines the many important factors to consider before getting LASIK.
Will I have 20/20 vision following laser vision correction?
Our commitment to you is that we will not perform laser vision correction on you or anyone we feel does not have a good possibility of achieving independence from glasses and contacts. The vast majority of our patients are extremely happy with their results and can do most activities without dependence on corrective lenses after laser vision correction.
Has anyone ever gone blind because of LASIK?
In the many thousands of LASIK cases performed worldwide, we know of no recorded incidence of anyone losing their eyesight due to this procedure.
Will it hurt?
There is no pain during any of the laser vision procedures because eye drops numb your eyes. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a pressure sensation during their procedure after LASIK, you might experience mild irritation for a few days after your procedure.
What about nighttime side-effects?
Nighttime side-effects may include halos, starbursts, and glare around lights and blurry vision. Some of these can be caused by overcorrection, undercorrection, or residual astigmatism. These effects usually diminish as the eye heals in the first three to six months. Sometimes additional touch-up (enhancement) procedures will be recommended.
