To take advantage of this service, potential patients can visit https://www.libertyvision.net.
Hamden, CT, United States – October 9, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
Dr. Jeffrey Gold has revealed his PRK method to bypass what he refers to as the “hidden danger” in cutting the cornea during LASIK surgery. The PRK service offers patients a safer, less invasive experience, with better results.

1.) Exclusive service offering
Dr. Gold performed more than 10,000 LASIK operations until 2011 when new studies revealed that flaps made by cutting the cornea during the procedure never fully heal.
Dr. Gold has seen this first hand during his more than forty years of experience as an eye surgeon. He has performed four emergency surgeries to repair dislodged flaps, a common side effect reported by LASIK patients. Had these surgeries not been performed immediately, said Gold, the patients would have needed to undergo more serious operations such as a corneal transplant.
Despite known risks, LASIK has become a standard practice among eye surgeons around the country. As a result, Dr. Gold is one of “…only 13 eye surgeons nationwide” who refuses to perform LASIK surgery and offers only PRK services for eye correction.
2.) Free consultation to improve public awareness
The popularity of LASIK procedures offered as the standard treatment at most eye practices means that people who want to correct their eyes through surgery do not seek alternatives.
Dr. Gold seeks to change this by providing consultations with potential patients free of charge to assess whether or not they are a good candidate for a PRK procedure.
When asked about the need of these consultations, Gold commented, “Doctors in other clinics might not spend the amount of time needed to inform their patients of the risks of LASIK. For example, it takes me a good 15 minutes to make a patient understand why I won’t do LASIK.”
3.) Unparalleled care throughout entire patient experience
At Liberty Vision, Dr. Gold ensures that he is with the patient through every step of the way, differing from experiences at most eye practices.
When patients go to eye clinics, the consultation and preoperative evaluation are done without meeting the surgeon “…until they are lying on the operating table.” However, Dr. Gold provides all these services himself from the free consultation to post-operation.
When asked about advice he would give people deciding on which eye clinic to choose, Dr. Gold said, “Make sure the person who does the work-up is the same person who does the surgery.”
