Thursday – Live on ABC 7, Dr. Paul Dougherty on CATz Topography-Guided LASIK

Talk about must-see TV…Live on ABC 7, Dr. Paul Dougherty on CATz Topography-Guided LASIK

Dr. Dougherty will perform LIVE surgery using the newly approved Topography-Guided LASIK procedure this Thursday (October 2) on ABC7 News.

Tune-in during the 4 and 5 PM newscasts for a series of live reports with ABC7 Health Reporter Denise Dador before, during and after surgery.

This is a unique opportunity to witness Topography-Guided LASIK live and unedited. Dougherty Laser Vision is among the first in the nation to offer this next-generation procedure designed to be far more precise and far less prone to night vision side effects than even the most advanced wavefront-guided LASIK.

The new Topography-Guided technology (known as Customized Aspheric Treatment Zone, or “CATz”) maps the patient’s cornea by measuring nearly 7,000 points of light, versus the approximately 200 points measured with wavefront technology. This more precise measurement creates a map of the cornea that shows even the most subtle distortions. As a result, patients can achieve “supervision” (better than 20/20), with reduced risk glare and halos.
