It’s been over 600 years since the explorer Marco Polo discovered glasses on a voyage to Asia. In the 1700’s another revolutionary breakthrough: Benjamin Franklin designed bifocals-for the first time people could see in the distance and up close with only one pair of glasses!
Vision correction has come a long way since then, and in many ways. A recent FDA study showed that 98% of LASIK patients saw 20/20 or better, and 70% saw better than 20/20!
This technology for LASIK is in Denver and Fort Collins! Dr. Paul Cutarelli has committed himself to bringing his LASIK patients in Denver and Fort Collins the most advanced LASIK technology in Colorado. That’s why Cutarelli Vision offers the Wavelight Allegretto and the Visx Star S4 with IR and Intralase. Combined with Dr. Paul Cutarelli’s training and experience, this technology allows his patients who have LASIK in Denver and Fort Collins to achieve the best possible results, often 20/20 or better.
LASIK only takes about 5 minutes to perform and has corrected millions of American’s bad vision. It has become so safe and precise it was approved by NASA for their astronauts and the military for their pilots. Ten years ago, if you didn’t have good vision, it didn’t matter how good of a pilot you were; your career as a military pilot was pretty much over before it started. Today with LASIK in Fort Collins and Denver, you can fly!
Last week, Dr. Cutarelli performed LASIK eye surgery in Fort Collins on a 30-year old woman who has worn glasses ever since she was two years old. Her vision the very next day was 20/15, which is even better than 20/20. During her one-day post-op visit, she told Dr. Cutarelli that the procedure was quick and easy; in fact, it took about the same amount of time to have LASIK as it did to put her contacts in. She woke up and saw the alarm clock clearly for the very first time! Dr. Cutarelli performed Custom LASIK on the Boulder Colorado resident, a LASIK procedure that not only corrects for nearsighted, farsightedness and astigmatism, but also for something called higher order aberrations or scattered light abnormalities in the eye. Custom LASIK offers improved night vision over tradition non-custom LASIK and is tailored to each individual’s unique visional imperfections.
Sorry Marco, I think glasses might become a thing of the past!
