Glasses can get lost or broken. Contacts can cause eye irritation. Lots of people would love to reduce or eliminate their dependency on both. That’s where LASIK can help. LASIK is a form of laser vision correction whereby an eye surgeon uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea of your eye to make it more ideal for focusing light, thus improving your vision. At SNEAD EYE GROUP this is one of our most popular elective surgeries!Laser vision correction can give patients with common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, better vision. This can help to reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses, and in some cases eliminate dependency entirely!
In one survey, 87 percent of LASIK patients said they would recommend it to their friends. There is no minimum amount of correction required, and speaking to a SNEAD eye care professional about it can be the first step to changing how you see the world forever. This new year, give yourself the gift of better vision with LASIK. Call today to schedule your consultation.

If your quality of life is affected by cataracts or presbyopia, it is time to talk about treatment options tailored to your lifestyle. Most people over the age of 60 experience some level of blurry vision due to cataracts. Many people over the age of 50 are uncomfortable driving or unable to easily read at close distances without glasses caused by presbyopia.
Signs of Cataracts:
Difficulty driving
Difficulty seeing at night
Difficulty viewing a computer screen, a phone or a tablet
Colors appear dim and faded
Frequent change in prescription glassesSigns of Presbyopia:
Loss of ability to read up close
Difficulty viewing a computer screen, a phone or a tablet
Need reading glasses or bifocals
Holding objects further away to readHuge advances have been made in intraocular lenses or IOLs implanted inside your eye to replace your eye’s natural lens. TECNIS Multifocal Lenses offer three options that provide outstanding vision at all distances and in any lighting condition. Now you can look forward to seeing objects up close, far into the distance and in-between!
Isn’t it time you gained independence from glasses? Just ask the professionals at SNEAD EYE GROUP to consult with you to determine the best lens choice for your lifestyle.

Snead Insights – Alternative Glaucoma Treatments

October is Infection Prevention Month.
Traditional prescription eye drops are not for everyone. Besides the need to use them daily for glaucoma treatment, eye drops carry a risk of infection. The professionals at SNEAD EYE GROUP can treat glaucoma with two innovative, alternative methods, both conveniently preformed at our Fort Myers and Naples surgery centers.
Dr. John Snead and Dr. Brad Snead are certified to perform iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass. Approved by the FDA, the iStent is the world’s smallest medical device, providing long-term, non-medicinal treatment for patients suffering from Open-Angle Glaucoma. This tiny titanium stent is inserted into the eye to help aide in the natural draining of intraocular fluid into the blood stream, reducing pressure build up within the eye. A large percentage of patients who receive the iStent report a reduction in the number of medications needed.
Another option is Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty, also referred to as SLT, whereby laser energy is applied to the drainage tissue in the eye. This starts a chemical and biological change in the tissue that results in better drainage of fluid through the drain and out of the eye. Some people may no longer need drops – others may have to use one less drop.
Since both procedures are accepted glaucoma treatments, and FDA approved, they are covered by Medicare and most medical insurances. Consult with a SNEAD EYE GROUP professional today to learn if you’re a candidate for either of these innovative treatment options!
