iLASIK Surgery Now Available in NJ

July 28th, 2009

American Medical Optic’s (AMO) iLasik procedure is now available in New Jersey by Dr. Daniel Goldberg. iLASIK is a proprietary procedure performed on AMO’s leading technology platform which combines WaveScan, Intralase, and VISX S4 with iris registration.  The new iLasik procedure integrates the very best in Lasik related techology to deliver optimal results for New Jersey Lasik candidates.

Dr. Daniel B Goldberg, Director of Refractive/LASIK Surgery, at The Atlantic Laser Vision Center in Little Silver, NJ  has a long-standing commitment to providing the most advanced technology for all his procedures, and that’s a great asset for potential patients.  Dr. Goldberg has completed over 10,000 Lasik procedures in New Jersey and a top choice for lasik eye surgery in the state.

Under Dr. Goldberg’s leadership, the Atlantic Laser Vision Center in Little Silver has continued to upgrade its lasers to provide the latest technologies and the best results.  The facility is the first in New Jersey, and one of the first in the US to combine the Intralase Femtosecond all-laser, no-blade flap with the VISX customized Excimer laser platform. 

“Our system now has been revised to integrate all of the new technology,” Goldberg says, “we have continued to bring the very best LASIK technologies to New Jersey which benefits our patients with safer and more accurate results.”  The the latest addition of iris registration theVISX S4 registers the treatment more accurately while delivering more precise customized treatment.  

The new AMO technologies qualify the facility as one of only a few centers in New Jersey certified to perform iLASIK.  iLASIK is a proprietary procedure performed on American Medical Optic’s (AMO) best equipment—WaveScan, Intralase, and VISX S4 with iris registration and FDA approved custom monovision.  In 2007 the FDA approved customVue monovision, which is part of the iLASIK platform.  Now all of these technologies—WaveScan, Intralase, VISX S4, and CustomVue monovision have been combined by AMO as iLASIK.  As further evidence of the advantages of this technology, the US Air Force, US Navy, and NASA have chosen the iLASIK platform for their pilots and astronauts.  All of these major advancements will result in safer, more exact laser vision correction results for patients at the Atlantic Laser Center in Little Silver, New Jersey.  

Dr. Goldberg helped introduce the use of IntraLase® in New Jersey, knowing it represented an extraordinary leap in refractive surgery. IntraLase® is more precise and safe than a microkeratome, or mechanical blade, in the critical first step of LASIK: creating the corneal flap. Replacing the microkeratome with IntraLase® gives LASIK patients a critical added safety factor.  Now, New Jersey LASIK patients have a safer, more precise alternative to the tiny handheld blade used by most to create the flap.

NJ Laser Eye Surgeon Awarded Top Doc From Castle Connolly

July 28th, 2009

Dr Daniel Goldberg, a pioneer in Laser eye surgery and the director of vision correction at the Atlantic Laser Vision Center was awarded ‘Top Doctor” by Castle Connolly Medical.

Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is a healthcare research and information company founded in 1991. Their goal is to help guide consumers to America’s top doctors and top hospitals using a detailed survey and comprehensive research

Dr Goldberg’s award recognizes him as one of the best doctors in the field of Ophthalmology. Dr Goldberg is credited as one of the first laser eye surgeons to help bring advanced technologies in the field to the United States. Dr. Daniel Goldberg has a rare dual certification from both the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (an independent, nonprofit, patient and consumer health organization that evaluates and verifies the quality of the surgeries provided by select refractive surgeons in the United States), and the ABES( American Board of Eye Surgeons ). Nationwide, there are less than 10 LASIK surgeons with dual certification by ABES and CRSQA.

Dr Goldberg was a member of the elite team of doctors who performed clinical trials of LASIK in its early stages. This research led to FDA approval of LASIK. In 2000, at the ASCRS(American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons) national meeting, the first large scale study of LASIK monovision was presented by Goldberg and the published paper appeared in 2001 in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Further research by Goldberg resulted in another large study of LASIK monovision which was published in 2003—this work compared results in far-sighted eyes as well as near-sighted eyes. Based on this research, Goldberg made presentations at national meetings on “Succeeding with LASIK Monovision” and taught courses at the ASCRS meetings on “Surgical correction of Presbyopia.”

In April of 2008, Dr Goldberg was recognized at the inaugural training session for Custom Vue Monovision in Chicago for helping to set the stage for the FDA approval of LASIK monovision.
