LASIK Surgery is an in-office procedure performed at Dr. Pamel's Upper Eastside NYC LASIK offices. LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis, which means to treat the cornea with a laser. LASIK surgery involves creating a thin flap of corneal tissue using an automated device called a microkeratome. This part of the LASIK procedure requires about 10 seconds. Creation of the flap provides access to the central part of the cornea. The excimer laser is used to reshape the cornea by removing, or ablating, a microscopic layer of corneal tissue. Dr Pamel has a premiere New York City LASIK facility and has treated thousands of Manhattan LASIK Eye Surgery patients.

The corneal flap becomes more secure the longer the period of time that has passed from the original procedure. The corneal flap can be relifted using special instrumentation up to 5-10 years after the initial procedure. After the first week, it is rare that the corneal flap will dislocate under normal circumstances.

One of the many advantages to the lasik procedure is that if there is residual nearsightedness or farsightedness after the initial procedure, the flap can be re-lifted and additional laser treatment can be performed to treat this residual refractive error. This is called an enhancement. Enhancements are required between 2-5% of the time in our practice depending on the amount of original vision loss.

The greater the amount of refractive error preoperatively, the greater the likelihood enhancement will be necessary at some point following the procedure. Enhancements are required because the cornea did not fully respond to the original laser treatment or the effect of the treatment regressed. As living tissue, the cornea will vary in its response to the laser treatment from individual to individual.

Dr. Pamel uses a DataLink software which allows him to create his personal nomogram and to compre his results with Wavelight Allegretto users around the world. Wavelight is the only laser company that is so confident about its results that provides this web based data analysis program for all of its surgeons. As a patient you can be confident that Dr. Pamel is constantly checking his results and comparing them to other Wavelight surgeons. With his own personalized nomgram, he can continuously modify his treatment plan to insure the highest success.

Stem cells procedure

We combine the two programs- stem cells implantation and the self stem cells activation & proliferation process, which provides the most fertile and appropriate environment in the brain for the new implanted cells to survive and renew themselves.

Add to that, every medical program consist of a comprehensive rehabilitation program of physical and occupational therapy in our rehabilitation center.

1. Stem cell activation and proliferation treatment

A complete approach of treating different types of neurological malfunctioning based on cell theory, through a comprehensive treatment using medicines that stimulate the production of the body's own neural stem cells. (The procedures involved are daily IV of medicines, oral medication, combined comprehensively with the rehabilitation program.)

2. Stem cell implantation through different surgical procedures

The stem cells may be injected either through the CSF (spinal cord fluid) by a lumber puncture or through a brain injection into the damaged area, depending on the medical conditions of the patient.
