1 2004 Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute KONRAD FILUTOWSKI, M.D., OFFERS HIS PATIENTS THE LATEST IN LASIK Every eye is unique. Tiny imperfections and unique distortions make each person s vision one-of-a-kind. Konrad Filutowski, M.D. For years, these characteristics made it a challenge for ophthalmologists to accurately correct every patient s vision with laser surgery. The older technology corrected a patient s vision according to a glasses prescription only, said Dr. Konrad Filutowski, who performs High Definition LASIK laser vision correction surgery at Filutowski Cataract and LASIK Institute. Founder, Medical Director and Chief Surgeon Continued on page 2

2 2004 Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute Wavefront technology offers greater accuracy Continued from page 1 In the past, ophthalmologists could not customize a patient s vision correction procedure. They simply relied upon the prescription for corrective lenses to determine how to proceed. Medical equipment manufacturers harnessed wavefront mapping technology and applied it to the diagnosis and treatment of visual imperfections, including myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Wavefront technology is much more accurate than older, conventional technology, Dr. Filutowski said. The older technology corrected 85 percent to 90 percent of patients to 20/20 vision with one surgery. But wavefront technology offers the best results, and Above, Dr. Filutowski points out areas of the eye needing correction utilizing the WaveScan map. This is safer and more accurate than anything else on the market, says Dr. Filutowski. The vast majority of patients I ve treated with this procedure see 20/20 or better. can correct 97 percent of patients to 20/20 vision with one surgery. With enhancement, more than 99 percent of patients can get 20/20 or better vision. We have proven clinical data that has given us these statistics. Wavefront technology was originally developed for use in high-powered telescopes. The technology reduced distortions in space. But in laser surgery, Wavefront technology sends a narrow ray of infrared light into the eye. The light is reflected off of the retina and passed back through the lens, where the machine senses the reflected light and analyzes it for optical distortions. Wavefront technology can improve patients vision, as measured by an eye chart. But it can also improve their ability to see fine details and contrast. When a patient is slated for laser vision correction, Dr. Filutowski uses wavefront technology to map the eye. He then transfers the map and other information to the laser being used for the procedure, where it serves as a guide during treatment. Dr. Filutowski uses the CustomVue System by VISX, an integral part of the Star S4 laser system. Wavefront technology produces information about the shape of the cornea and the rest of the visual system and introduces this into the laser, providing data specific to each patient s cornea, Dr. Filutowski said. With Traditional LASIK, surgeons use a bladed instrument called a microkeratome to manually cut a flap in the patient s cornea. An excimer laser gently reshapes the surface of the cornea with a cool laser beam, thus creating a new curvature for the surface of the eye. During High Definition LASIK procedures, the IntraLase FS femtosecond laser creates the corneal flap. Then the VISX S4 laser uses a small beam to precisely reshape the cornea, which corrects both simple and complex visual distortions. By using a precise, computer-controlled laser to create the corneal flap - rather than a blade clinical studies have shown that complications are virtually eliminated, Dr. Filutowski said. This is safer and more accurate than anything else on the market, he said. Since it treats all of the errors in a patient s optical system, it provides better results than traditional LASIK. The vast majority of patients I ve treated with this procedure see 20/20 or better. The procedure takes about 10 minutes. It can provide better night vision and is designed to reduce or eliminate halos, glare and light contrast disturbances, he added. Following High Definition LASIK, patients continue to tell me how excited and thrilled they are with their own results, says Dr. Filutowski. Dr. Filutowski sets his sights on fast-paced, continually evolving ophthalmology Dr. Konrad Filutowski s love of medicine and passion for advancing technologies combined to make him a pioneer in ophthalmology. Ivy League educated, Dr. Filutowski graduated from Columbia College in He attended Cornell University Medical College in New York, completing the program in 1983, before serving a three-year residency at Scheie Eye Institute at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pa. Before choosing ophthalmology as his specialty, Dr. Filutowski considered dedicating his ambitions to a variety of medical specialties, but ophthalmology caught his eye. One important aspect of ophthalmology that appealed to him was the way he could provide a positive change to his patient s daily lives. Vision is one of the most important senses we have, says Dr. Filutowski. What work could be more exciting and rewarding than having the ability of providing patients with better vision, thus enhancing a person s complete lifestyle. I wanted to work in an interesting specialty, Dr. Filutowski adds. Ophthalmology certainly qualified, since it is a fast-paced field that is continually evolving. Dr. Filutowski s residency prepared him to start his own practice. He chose central Florida (Daytona Beach and Orlando) as the sites for his clinics and surgery centers that bear his name, the Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute. From the day he opened for business in 1990, Dr. Filutowski was determined that his clinics would offer patients the highest-quality, most effective techniques for improving their vision. Ophthalmology can dramatically improve the overall quality of life for my patients, Dr. Filutowski said. That s what makes my job so worthwhile. I am thrilled to have the ability to change the lives of my patients in such a profound way. In the mid 1990 s, Dr. Filutowski began performing LASIK laser vision correction surgery, a major breakthrough in the field of ophthalmology. In fact, he says, he was the first surgeon in the area to perform LASIK using the VISX laser which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Filutowski was also the first surgeon to privately own three excimer lasers all housed in the safety of Florida licensed surgical centers. He was the first surgeon to open a LASIK center in both Seminole and Volusia Counties. I insist upon being able to offer my patients the latest advances in the field of laser technology, Dr. Filutowski said. I research every new device and protocol continually, to potentially achieve the goal of 20/20 or better vision for every patient. As he adopts new, a d v a n c e d technologies, Dr. Filutowski sets high standards for safety, accuracy and precision. When he decides that a device can perform Above, Dr. Filutowski performs eye surgery using a high-powered microscope. a procedure according to the strictest standards possible, he invests in that technology for the benefit of his patients. One of the most successful technologies he has selected is the IntraLase FS all-laser, blade-free method of preparing the corneal flap for LASIK vision correction. According to IntraLase, the manufacturer of the laser, Dr. Filutowski was the first ophthalmologist in Florida to use this technique. For the past year, he has been the busiest IntraLase surgeon in Florida. Dr. Filutowski was the first surgeon in Florida offering High Definition LASIK, a combination of two of the most advanced technologies for LASIK, IntraLase and CustomVue. Currently, Dr. Filutowski has performed more LASIK procedures than any other ophthalmologist in Central Florida. Because of Dr. Filutowski s teaching credentials and his expertise, both IntraLase and VISX Corporations recommend Dr. Filutowski to those wanting first hand experience with either technology. Doctor s from around the world visit his office to observe his surgical technique since they feel it is the one of the most effective ways to learn about these technologies. Dr. Filutowski is the Founder, Chief Surgeon and Medical Director of the Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute, which he founded in He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Ophthalmology at the University of South Florida, College of Medicine. He teaches other doctors to perform LASIK and cataract surgery. To ensure he stays current on the latest technologies, Dr. Filutowski maintains memberships in several professional organizations, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery. As a recognized leader in the world of refractive surgery, Dr. Filutowski continually adopts new, advanced technologies that set high standards for LASIK laser vision correction.

3 2004 Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute Dr. Filutowski touts advantages of IntraLase Y ou ve heard about LASIK, the surgical procedure that reshapes the cornea and corrects a person s vision in the blink of an eye. Now, variations on the procedure take it to a new level. Dr. Konrad Filutowski touts the merits of IntraLase, which differs from what is known as Traditional LASIK in that the flap in the cornea is made with a laser instead of a blade. Having performed thousands of procedures with a blade and over 4,000 with the IntraLase equipment, Dr. Filutowski says that the IntraLase technique offers many advantages, including greater safety. The femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) solidstate laser allows the surgeon greater control and a better chance of success in creating the corneal flap than the bladed mechanical microkeratome. The IntraLase femtosecond laser uses a very short pulse that creates an air bubble 3 microns in diameter, allowing the laser to apply low levels of energy to the corneal tissue with great accuracy. The laser also has a long wavelength (1053 nm), allowing it to pass through corneal tissue with no effect until it reaches a preprogrammed depth. At that point, it causes tissue separation at a precise plane within 10 microns of the programmed depth. The air bubbles are placed close together so that a flap can be easily lifted with a specialized instrument. Dr. Filutowski says one of the greatest advantages of IntraLase over a mechanical keratome is that it can create a thinner flap with greater precision and consistent thickness. He routinely creates a precise 120 micron flap with IntraLase procedures, whereas mechanical keratomes can cut from 100 microns to as much as 250 microns. The variability of the flap thickness with a mechanical keratome makes it difficult for the surgeon to predict how much underlying tissue will be available for laser Dan Drurrie of Kansas City correction with the excimer with patients for whom the laser. The IntraLase system IntraLase device was used makes more underlying for one eye and a bladed tissue available for laser microkeratome was used for correction, allowing more the other. Visual results with corneal stability for the custom laser corrections patient and more available were significantly more corneal tissue for future accurate in the IntraLase corrections if necessary. eyes. Dr. Drurrie also Dr. Filutowski says that demonstrated a reduction in another advantage of the the incidence of dry eye in IntraLase technology is that the IntraLase eyes. all dimensions of the flap Because of the many can be planned with great advantages IntraLase offers precision for example, a less invasive approach, the flap s thickness, 100 times more accurate, diameter, edge-angle, and uniquely safe and precise, hinge-width. The flap with fewer complications cannot be cut off completely and predictable better vision with the laser as it can with Dr. Filutowski offers this a blade keratome. Since the technology to nearly all of laser does not rub across the his LASIK patients.

Dr. Filutowski says he has not had essential first step of LASIK. 99% of his patients choose any bad cuts into the visual axis, a complication more IntraLase for their LASIK procedure. Dr. Filutowski has common to bladed microkeratomes, in all of his IntraLase educated and trained physicians from several continents cases. Additionally, all blade contaminations have been on the IntraLase. eliminated. One of the comments I continue to hear many times Since the edge of the IntraLase flap is of a better quality from my patients is that IntraLase was the reason they than a blade flap, the incidence of ingrowth of surface chose to have LASIK now. Commented Dr. Filutowski. corneal epithelium under the flap is markedly reduced. IntraLase gave them the confidence and freedom from Persistent striae (wrinkles) that can obstruct vision are worry about any blade touching their eyes! almost nonexistent; if present, they are easily corrected. Blades can cause striae that are difficult to remove. Dr. Filutowski points to a controlled study by Dr. The convenience of not wearing glasses or contacts is wonderful. I was so thrilled with my crisp, clear vision, I could hardly believe my eyes! Tammy Turnage, Optical Manager Not a day goes by that I can t say how happy I am with my new vision, especially with the important duties of good vision that critical care nursing requires. High Definition LASIK and Dr. Filutowski exceeded all of my expectations about vision correction. Kim Grant, Critical Care Nurse Tech It s nice to see my beautiful wife without glasses! Shadow, Radio Personality, K92 FM There was a time I couldn t read the big E on the eye chart without my corrective lenses! High Definition LASIK has been a life changing experience. Advanced technology in the experienced hands of Dr. Filutowski has restored vision freedom that I thought was lost forever. My new vision is extraordinary! Bud Hedinger, Radio Talk Show Host, 540 WFLA LASIK changed my life in an unbelievable way no more worries about contacts while I enjoy many outdoor activities such as horseback riding and playing in the ocean with my son! Truly incredible I am forever grateful! Thank you Dr. Filutowski! Leslye Gayle, Radio Co-Host, Magic FM Working with Leslye has been so much easier since she doesn t have the bother of things getting behind her contacts, especially while we are on location. We recently broadcast from a windy beach in Jamaica and Leslye didn t have to worry about all the hassles she used to have with her contact lenses. Nice fashion sunglasses, Leslye! Dave Collins, Radio Co-Host, Magic FM I never realized how the astigmatism I had in my right eye made my vision so poor by creating two blurry images on my retina instead of one clear one. I never even knew the details I was missing with my vision until after I had my LASIK with Dr. Filutowski. I can tell you from my own experience that the Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute is the place you will want to trust with your vision. Bo Matthews, Radio Personality, K92 FM As an artist, I can tell you that LASIK has perfected the most important tool that I use - my eyes. To see without having to depend on glasses or contacts is absolutely amazing! Dr. Filutowski, his staff and the technology he offers are in my opinion top of the line!

4 2004 Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute Clinic s laser suites feature latest technologies J ust a few years ago, lasers were considered a major breakthrough in vision correction surgery. Today, ophthalmologists wanting to provide the best results for patients pride themselves on offering multiple lasers and technologies, customizing the equipment according to each patient s needs. That s why Dr. Konrad Filutowski, who provides laser vision correction surgery at Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute has built an on-site suite in both of his locations with a variety of lasers including equipment from well-known manufacturers such as VISX, IntraLase and Nidek. Each system is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and can be used I have invested in to treat myopia, multiple technologies hyperopia and astigmatism. to provide my The High Definition LASIK patients the best suite features the treatment options to latest technologies in vision achieve the best correction, hand visual outcomes selected by Dr. What about cataracts? Filutowski. These include the Star S4 CustomVue wavefront guided laser system from VISX and the IntraLase FS Laser. A second laser suite houses the Nidek EC5000 excimer laser. This combination of technology provides the most precise results for a majority of patients, Dr. Filutowski said. Each laser has its own set of strengths and weaknesses, Dr. Filutowski said. And for each patient s procedure, there is a specific laser that will offer the best results. By having more equipment options available, we can tailor each person s correction with the best technology for that patient. I have invested in multiple technologies to provide my patients the best treatment options to achieve the best visual outcomes possible, comments Dr. Filutowski. All of the equipment we need is right here on site, he added. This is more convenient for us and for our patients. The Star S4 excimer laser features an eye-tracker, which follows the eye to keep the treatment centered on the visual axis. This is important because eye trackers reduce the chance that treatments can be off-center, Dr. Filutowski said. Additionally, patients are more secure knowing that if any unplanned eye movement occurs during a procedure, the treatment stops immediately and can restart again without any complications to the procedure. possible. - Dr. Filutowski Konrad Filutowski, M.D., has performed over 15,000 successful cataract procedures! P eople that do not qualify for LASIK because of the presence of a cataract can have cataract surgery. Having a cataract removed is also a once in a lifetime chance to get rid of the need for corrective lenses. Today s cataract surgery has dual benefits. It not only offers restoration of good vision but it also offers the possibility of not needing glasses or contact lenses to see well. Cataracts are the major cause of vision loss as we age. They can be treated with great success. A cataract is a clouding of the eye s natural lens. When this occurs vision decreases and things appear blurry. Colors can appear dull or faded. There may be an increased sensitivity to sunlight and excessive glare or halos around headlights when driving at night. The intraocular lens that is selected can correct nearsightedness or farsightedness at the same time as it replaces the cloudy natural lens. Dr. Filutowski is Central Florida s most experienced cataract surgeon. He specializes in no-injection, no-stitch, no-patch advanced cataract removal. No injection means the eye is anesthetized with anesthetic eye drops. No stitch means a self-sealing microsurgical incision is used. Dr. Filutowski uses a process called phacoemulsification to remove the cataract. The cataract is emulsified and vacuumed out. No patch means literally just that. Vision usually returns within minutes after surgery. In fact, some of Dr. Filutowski patients have gone shopping, bowling or even golfing within hours after their cataract surgery. Above, Dr. Filutowski describes the core technologies in High Definition LASIK Thank you, Dr. Filutowski! I never knew my vision could be so sharp, clear and in focus without corrective lenses! Being independent of my contact lenses is a dream come true. I wanted the most qualified surgeon to perform my procedure someone with a great deal of experience. I got that in Dr. Filutowski. Paula Garrity, Wife of Pat Garrity, Professional Basketball Player My vision affected the entire quality of my life and everything I did. From oversized, heavy glasses to contact lenses, I was dependant on corrective lenses since elementary school. Reading music was a blurred struggle until after my High Definition LASIK procedure. I was treated with exceptional care throughout my entire LASIK experience. Dr. Filutowski is in the business of changing lives, his work is extraordinary. LASIK has improved my life forever! I am still amazed that after years of suffering with my glasses I can see anytime, anywhere High Definition LASIK is the most wonderful thing I ve ever gone through and I ve never been more excited to share such an incredible experience. Dr. Filutowski and his staff are the epitome of professionalism. I had absolute confidence that my eyes were in the best care with Dr. Filutowski.

5 2004 Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute All of my important questions were answered How long has Dr. Filutowski been in practice? The Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute was founded in Dr. Konrad Filutowski has been in private practice in Central Florida for more than 14 years. What are the doctor s credentials? Dr. Konrad Filutowski is the Founder, Medical Director and Chief Surgeon of the center. He is a graduate of several Ivy League schools, including Columbia College in New York and Cornell University Medical College, also in New York. He completed a residency in ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Is Dr. Filutowski board certified? What does this mean? Yes. Dr. Filutowski is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology, the National Board of Medical Examiners and the American Board of Eye Surgery. Board certification means the doctors have achieved a high level of experience and knowledge in their field and have passed a rigorous national examination. It is a measure of quality. How much experience does Dr. Filutowski have in performing LASIK Surgery? Dr. Filutowski has personally performed more than 10,000 LASIK procedures. He is exceptionally skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in the field of laser vision correction. He teaches other Doctors how to perform LASIK surgery. What is LASIK? LASIK stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. LASIK is a laser surgery procedure that re-shapes the cornea of the eye to correct common vision problems such as farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism. How long does LASIK take? The procedure takes about 15 minutes. However, the pre-op testing takes about 2 hours. LASIK is outpatient surgery, which means it will be completed and you can go home in a short period of time. Most patients can return to work the following day. Is LASIK covered by insurance? Some insurance plans do cover LASIK. The Filutowski LASIK Counselors check to see if an insurance benefit is available during the LASIK Screening appointment. Often, we find that our patients are taking advantage of flexible spending account plans to pay for LASIK. The flexible spending account is a very convenient, affordable, tax free option. Do you offer payment plans? Yes we do. We believe that LASIK is an excellent investment in your well being. And because we know that every person s financial needs are different, we offer a very convenient, flexible payment plan. Our Vision Fee Plan is an easy monthly payment option with low fixed rates. Our rates range from percent. We also offer no down payment and no prepayment penalty. We make LASIK very affordable. Of course, you can also arrange your own financing if you prefer. And, don t forget to find out if your employer offers a flexible spending account where you can pay for LASIK with pre-tax dollars. Will I have vision after LASIK? That depends on your prescription. With the advanced technologies that we offer, our patients can expect a very high level of satisfaction. We have an excellent reputation. With our advanced technology, some patients find that their vision correction is even better after treatment than they had before with glasses and contact lenses. When I made my first phone call, I spoke with a counselor that answered all of my questions not only about the procedure itself and what to expect, but also about insurance, financing and Dr. Filutowski. This is one of the very few times that I can truly say that I enjoyed going to the doctor. Scott Olsen, Assistant Production Manager Why should I have LASIK at the Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute? Dr. Filutowski has performed thousands of LASIK procedures. He is recognized as a leader in the field of LASIK surgery. Dr. Filutowski is committed to an excellent experience for every patient. Dr. Filutowski has invested in the very latest technologies in vision correction, including IntraLase and CustomVue. We call this High Definition LASIK. High Definition LASIK can assure you of receiving a superior result. Some patients even find that their vision correction is better after this procedure than with glasses or contact lenses. What is IntraLase? We were the first center in Florida to offer this new technique after it was approved by the FDA in IntraLase is sometimes called the all laser LASIK. IntraLase makes a dramatic difference in the results. It is safer, more accurate and more precise than traditional LASIK. It virtually eliminates any potential complications. How does IntraLase work? It is important to know that LASIK surgery is actually a two-step process. In step one; a flap is made in the cornea, the outer surface of the eye. Then a laser is used to reshape the cornea to correct your vision. In traditional LASIK, the doctor uses a mechanical blade called a keratome to create the corneal flap. This is a well established, excellent method of treatment that has been used with success for many years. However, the mechanical blade is a hand-held medical instrument. The results often depend on the skill and experience of the doctor. Sometimes the thickness of the flap was not consistent. Medical researchers found that using a laser instead of a mechanical blade could improve the results. They developed the all laser or IntraLase approach. IntraLase is computer controlled, which guarantees results and consistency. The doctor can customize the corneal flap to the desired size, thickness, depth and location. This type of control is impossible to achieve with the traditional hand-held method. IntraLase raises the level of quality and patient satisfaction dramatically. Is IntraLase better than traditional LASIK? Yes, our doctors believe it is. Our doctors use IntraLase because it is proven to raise the level of quality and patient satisfaction. By using a computer-controlled laser, IntraLase is able to make a more precise corneal flap. FDA studies document that this technique gives a superior level of precision. What is CustomVue? Wavefront technology allows our doctors to correct not just standard vision errors, but the slight imperfections or irregularities in vision that are different for each person. Your vision is unique. Some people compare it to a fingerprint. You could call it your individual vision print. Traditional LASIK can not measure these unique individual differences. With CustomVue, we use Wavefront technology to create individual maps of your eyes. This helps the doctors develop a safer, more accurate and more precise treatment plan, custom-tailored to your vision needs. Wavefront technology is the same technology used in high-powered microscopes to help scientists view the stars without distortion. We apply this same high-tech precision to your vision correction. What is High Definition LASIK? We call the fusion of IntraLase and CustomVue High Definition LASIK. With High Definition LASIK, some patients find they have better vision correction than they could with glasses or contact lenses. It is the next generation in laser vision correction: safer, more accurate, more precise and better results. Can I have High Definition LASIK? Not everyone qualifies for High Definition LASIK. Dr. Filutowski will decide if you are a good candidate following a complete medical evaluation, eye history, and Wavefront measurement of your eyes. Are there any complications? IntraLase eliminates many of the complications associated with traditional LASIK. Less than 10 percent of IntraLase patients need an enhancement to make further corrections in their vision. High Definition LASIK offers even better results for some patients. It is important to understand that LASIK, as all surgical procedures, involves some risk. What about my night vision? I have heard that LASIK can give you problems at night. FDA clinical studies report that less than 2 percent of all the patients who have had CustomVue experience night vision problems like halos or glare. I have heard that you can have one eye done for distance vision and one for close range vision, with LASIK. Is that true? That procedure is called monovision. Monovision is where one eye is corrected for near vision and the other eye is corrected for distance. If that is something you are interested in, you will be tested to see whether you can adapt to this type of vision correction. Above, Dr. Konrad Filutowski and his wife Pamela The Filutowski family keeps a hectic pace in their community. They are involved in educational, cultural and sporting endeavors which are all very much a part of their family activities. Many local and nationally recognized charities and organizations have benefited from donations and sponsorships from the Filutowski Cataract & LASIK Institute. Dr. Filutowski is avid about offering educational opportunities to students. There never seems to be a time when we don t have visiting students from a variety of medical curriculums and Interns in our facility, comments Dr. Filutowski. Exposing students to the real working world of ophthalmology gives them a clearer opportunity to make the right choice for their own career paths.
