After being burdened with glasses and contacts over a period of 18 years, I decided to have CustomVue LASIK surgery. After exhausted research, I determined that Dr. Bucci was the best surgeon in the valley. I attended one of his free seminars. I met Dr. Bucci and his staff and immediately scheduled the next available appointment. The procedure was painless, fast and provided me with 20/20 vision in both eyes. Now I am able to engage to engage in outdoor sports and activities with out the cumbersome and irritating regimen of glasses or contacts. My only regret is I didn't visit Dr. Bucci sooner.

Corneal Transplant Surgery - Is performed if vision has been blurred due to scarring from an eye injury or infection, Keratoconus ( a steep curving of the cornea.), or hereditary corneal failure.
Glaucoma - Is an eye disease in which the passages that allow fluid in the eye to drain become clogged or blocked. This results in a build-up of fluid in the eye which causes an increase of pressure inside the eye. This increased pressure damages the optic nerve which connects the eye to the brain. The optic nerve is the main carrier of vision information to the brain. Damage to it results in less information sent to the brain and loss of vision. Noticeable symptoms of glaucoma may be a gradual loss of side vision or blurred vision.
Chronic Dry Eye - Chronic irritation of the surface of the eye can eventually cause a disruption in the normal tear- producing system. This can result in a declining quantity of tears. High risk factors for this condition include those individuals with health factors, such as hormonal changes associated with aging and menopause, autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis - lupus and diabetes can also contribute to it's onset.
AK
Astigmatic Keratotomy - One of the earlier and widely accepted methods of correcting nearsightedness was called Radial Keratotomy (RK). For those patients who had astigmatism along with their nearsightedness, Astigmatic Keratotomy (AK) was also performed.
Astigmatism is caused by a cornea that is more curved (steeper) in one axis than the other, much like a football. This causes light to focus on more than one place on the retina, resulting in blurry or multiple images.
The AK procedure places arced incisions in the steeper axis (outside of the optical center of the cornea) causing the cornea to relax and become more spherical or round like a baseball. With a spherical cornea, light rays come to focus at one point on the retina, resulting in a clearer image.
RK
Radial Keratotomy Surgery - Treats nearsightedness and or astigmatism. RK permanently changes the shape of the cornea as a result of making a number of incisions around the center of the eye. This causes the center of the cornea
to flatten, which changes the focusing power of the cornea.
PRK
Photorefractive Keratectomy - Treats a wide range of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. PRK is performed in our LASIK suite. The eye is anesthetized with drops and the protective layer of the cornea is loosened from the underlying layers of the cornea and is either removed completely or moved to the side. The laser is applied to the cornea, reshaping it to the correct focusing power. After the procedure a protective contact lens is applied to the eye for approximately 3 days for comfort during the healing process.
YAG
Neodymium YAG Laser Surgery - Subsequent to cataract or certain other operations, aftereffects sometimes occur which interfere with vision. Two such aftereffects are clouding (opacification of the posterior capsule) and development of scar tissue (synechiae) within the eye can occur. If your vision is impaired by either of these occurrences, Dr Bucci will focus the laser beam on the opacified membrane or scars. There is no need to make an incision or cut into the eye when preforming this procedure, therefore, there is no need for anesthetics.
