Dr. William Boothe has personally performed more VISX Custom 3-Dimensional Wavefront Customized laser vision correction procedures than any other surgeon in the world and w A native Texan, Dr. Boothe received his undergraduate degree from Rice University with honors and completed his residency at Texas Tech University School of Ophthalmology. He attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, before serving an internship at Presbyterian Hospital in Internal Medicine. Dr. Boothe completed a cornea fellowship at Jules Stein Eye Institute (University of California Los Angeles Medical School) where he specialized in refractive surgery.
LASIK (Laser in-situ Keratomileusis) is used to correct or reduce moderate to high levels of nearsightedness (myopia), astigmatism and farsightedness (hyperopia). The traditional LASIK procedure is relatively simple: a keratome is used to gently create a flap in the cornea. In IntraLASIK, the flap is created by a computer-controlled, precision laser. The flap is lifted and an excimer laser is then used to shape the remaining tissue. The flap is then carefully set back into place, forming an occlusive seal by osmopic pressure. Osmopic pressure holds the flap in place and allows it to heal very quickly, without stitches!
Intralase FS - Computer Controlled Precision
The IntraLase FS Laser introduces new high precision femtosecond laser technology to ophthalmology. Dr. Boothe can offer his patients a safer, computer controlled alternative to a microkeratome for creating the corneal flap.

FLEX PLANS
A Flex Plan (FP) or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a benefit package option developed to provide you with flexibility and choice with coverage and spending on health care including laser vision correction. Unlike the traditional standard benefits package, both FP and FSA benefits give you and your company the opportunity to create the benefits package that will be most beneficial. These plans are usually open to all permanent employees of a company. Many companies permit you to review your benefit choices each year to ensure that they continue to meet your personal circumstances.
FP and FSA are also very attractive because of the fact that your flex plan account is tax sheltered. Each designated pay period, your FP or FSA dollars are withdrawn from your paycheck before taxes, which allows you and dependents to use your expected health expense money without being taxed for it.
Flex Dollars - “Use them or lose them”
Due to IRS regulations, if the amount you have elected for your flexible spending account in a FP or FSA year exceeds the actual expenses created by you in the same Flex Plan year, the excess amount will be forfeited. Excess amounts will not be carried over from one plan year to another plan year. Your employer cannot return any money remaining in your FP or FSA to you.
Because of this policy, you may have a remainder of FP or FSA funds that should be used quickly, and what better way to spend your Flex Plan funds than on great vision.
