The sociological imagination is a concept used by the American sociologist C. Wright Mills to describe the ability to âthink yourself away from the familiar routines of everyday lifeâ and look at them from an entirely new perspective.
Meet Edward E. Manche, MD, Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery, Professor of Ophthalmology. Edward E. Manche, MD, is the Director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at the Stanford Eye Laser Center and Professor of Ophthalmology in the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a world renowned expert in laser and surgical techniques for vision correction, and has personally performed over 45,000 laser vision correction procedures.
The LASIK surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity. For most patients, LASIK provides a permanent alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK is most similar to another surgical corrective procedure, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and both represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of refractive errors of vision.
