San Antonio Woman magazine features Dr. Sharron Acosta!

LASIK Surgery by Ophthalmologist Sharron Acosta

Dr. Sharron Acosta was recently featured in San Antonio Woman magazine. Dr. Acosta has recently been elected President of the San Antonio Society of Ophthalmologists (SASO), a great honor to lead its member ophthalmologists’ for the next year. For LASIK she uses the latest refractive suite by ALCON with both Femtosecond and Excimer laser components, this allows blade-free high-quality refractive surgery. The Excimer laser fires at 500 times a second, to produce a smooth and faster ablation than surgeons who use older slower models. Interestingly, there are still some surgeons using the older bladed Lasik flap-makers! Make sure you ask your LASIK surgeon what type of device they will be using during your refractive surgery.

She shares her thoughts on LASIK in her feature article in San Antonio Woman magazine. At the Eye Associates of South Texas, we run a full-service ophthalmology and optometry practice. We diagnose and treat all ocular conditions from glaucoma, cataracts, refractive errors, dry eyes, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. We also can help you see and look better with eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty).

PRIORITIZING YOUR EYE HEALTH AS YOU AGE

As we age, our risk of developing eye diseases increases significantly. In fact, one in six Americans aged 65 and older has a vision impairment that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are more prevalent in older adults and can lead to significant vision loss if not properly managed.

THE HEALTH EXAM YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED

Some of the leading causes of blindness—such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy—can begin without any symptoms. That’s why Eye Associates of South Texas and the American Academy of Ophthalmology urge all healthy adults to get an eye exam at age 40, even if their vision seems fine. Early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to happen at this age.

WOMEN’S EYE HEALTH & SAFETY MONTH

Prevent Blindness has designated April as Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month. This important initiative aims to increase awareness about eye diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect women.  Why are women at higher risk?  For some women, fluctuations in hormones due to pregnancy, perimenopause or menopause can bring on such changes.
