If patient’s come to you for Lasik surgery from all over the world does that constitute world class? Well,

When we asked Dr. Tooma about his contributions to the world of better vision, he talked about 3
things. First, the ethical obligation to ensure you are providing the best possible care to the patient. This
means you must understand the patient’s sight concerns and seek to relieve any anxiety they may have
if possible.
Second, the obligation to provide the safest and most predictable outcomes through use of the most
advanced technology. Interestingly, to DR. Tooma this does not mean just understanding how to use the
technology. It means taking a deep dive into exactly what the technology does, how it works and what
could possibly hinder its effectiveness. For example, measuring up to 22,000 points across the
topography of the eye can be extremely helpful. However, that is not enough. The Doc then goes on to
explain that having the proprietary software that integrates and guides the lasers is essential. Some
providers measure the topography, but their cornea reshaping lasers are hand programmed and may
not have the same result as a software guided laser.
He then goes to explain the integration with the software shortens the length of time is takes for the
laser pulses to impact the eye. This does 2 things. The eye is impacted in a much more precise manner
giving better outcomes and it takes far less time to achieve the result. What was incredibly revealing
were the FDA approved studies that showed 64.8% of all Lasik patients using this combination of
technology and great surgeon experience achieved better than 20/20 vision. Dr Tooma's personal
statistics were better, 80% of his patients achieved better uncorrected vision than 20/20 vision after this
Lasik procedure and 99+% did have uncorrected binocular vision of 20/20.
Third, he shared his views on the importance of staff who are dedicated to the patient experience.
While we have spoken with many great surgeons, seldom do you find an industry leader that is so well
rounded in how they view their medical and societal role.
