ABOUT YOUR LASIKPLUS SURGEONI am fortunate to have been invited to join Lasik Plus when it started, and always have access to doctor directed industry leading technology. I have always believed no single laser can be best for all. Being able to chose from the 3 leading lasers allows me to further optimize results depending on your custom optics analysis. My “focus” is on how to enhance the patient experience, and best utilize my 15 years of full time laser vision correction experience.

Dr. Horn has been performing LASIK with LasikPlus full-time since 1997. He has performed over 54,000 laser vision correction procedures during his career.

Dr. Horn has over 30 years of experience performing refractive surgery, including the historically important procedures of radial keratotomy, and ALK. He has been named a Visx Star Surgeon, recognizing him as one of the top 5% experienced Lasik surgeons in the US.

"The joy in being able to restore natural high quality vision to so many people with the technology available today, and devote 100% of my time to it has made these the most gratifying years of my career. In a private practice setting I might be fortunate to have even one of the 3 leading lasers I have access to: Intralase®, Wavelight®, Customvue®."

FAQ?• Does it hurt?

– Since this is advanced preprogrammed technology it is very quick – about 8 minutes for both eyes.– You are offered Valium® pretreatment to make sure you are relaxed.– Dr. Horn uses multiple anesthetic drops from two sources for the highest numbing effect.– Typically mild to moderate pressure for less than 30 seconds is the most you experience.– There can be burning and discomfort after, usually prevented by our preferred combination of sleep and anti-inflammatory

medications.

• Can I see right away?– If you are more than -2.00 nearsighted, most patients will sit up and see our wall clock much better than when they sat down; if

less than -2.00 it usually is blurry for about 5 hours of nap time.– A very high % of patients, well above 90% will legally be able to drive the next day , daytime preferred.

• Can I lose my vision?– Dr. Horn has never had a patient lose their sight from laser vision correction. Though extremely unlikely any eye procedure carries

such risk - even contact lenses due to rare infections. Glasses are still the safest option. Risks such as infection though rare could be serious and vision threatening. In about 10,000 all laser lasik treatments to date no infection has occurred. Following instructions we provide you is key to minimizing this and many other risks.

• What Do I Need To Do Afterwards?– You will watch a video reviewing all your postlasik instructions. You will receive verbal and written instructions. You will be advised

to go home and remain there until the next day, when you arrive put in al l your drops, take a long nap, and repeat the drops after the nap. Then you may stay up, watch TV, etc. You will keep protective sunglasses or goggles on all the time for the first 24 hours. These and other similar instructions will be both reviewed and provided for you.

• What Does It Cost?– All laser lasik is about $2000 per eye. This is costlier than blade lasik still being offerred; and older laser platforms like the Nidek or

Autonomous Alcon laser still in use but not updated for years; but we feel the advanced technology at LasikPlus (Intralase®; Wavelight®; Visx Customvue®) adds safety and more accuracy. The Lasik Plus procedure includes a dedicated staff involved in laser vision correction full – time, and our financial life-time warranty there will be no future procedure costs to you. Our financing options are industry best – we are the industry leader.
