Better screening than ever before with the PENTACAM
To make the right decision about LASIK, doctors need to have as much information as possible about your eyes. Sophisticated tests are part of the extensive screening performed at Diamond Vision prior to recommending the surgery. That is how we ensure the best results ever. Now, out of Germany comes the Pentacam. The Pentacam consists of a camera that actually rotates to capture images of your cornea from different angles - something that was impossible before. Today, our doctors can be even more confident in recommending LASIK to you. As always we ensure that our patients have access to the most up-to-date, world-class technology - at no extra charge. If you are a doctor and would like to use the state of the art PENTACAM for your patients, |

Dr. Stetson makes patients look "Ten Years Younger" in Reality TV show.
1/1/2008-TLC's nationally syndicated TV show "Ten Years Younger" is starting a new season in January 2008 and Diamond Vision has been chosen to be featured on the popular Reality show. "Ten Years Younger" takes real people that look older than they are, and invites them to step inside the "box" — a display case in the middle of New York. Complete strangers guess their age, and critique the appearance of the guests, while the "Glam Squad" is standing by to give them a complete makeover, to take a decade off a person's look in a mere 10 days. While make up artists, hairstylists and wardrobe stylists work their magic, Dr. Stetson, Medical Director at Diamond Vision, steps in to transform their lives and appearances with his laser vision correction skills. "This is a 'feel-good show', and it is so much fun to be part of it, said Dr. Stetson. It dramatizes how lives get transformed every day by laser vision correction here at Diamond Vision." Dr. Stetson has performed more than 15,000 laser vision correction procedures and was previously Medical Director of the prestigious Air Force Academy Laser Eye Clinic. Check you local listings for TLC's new episodes of "Ten Years Younger" featuring Dr. Stetson, starting January 7th. ______________________________________________________________ NASA-approved Custom Intralase LASIK.
10/1/2007 – People who are considering vision correction have another reason to be confident in LASIK, now that the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) has approved the new advanced, all-laser LASIK technologies for use on U.S. astronauts. Diamond Vision, the #1 LASIK practice in the tri-state area, has pioneered the advanced procedure recently approved by NASA. It was the first to offer it in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and to teach it to other doctors. The announcement comes on the heels of a sensational literature review published by the trade journal Archives of Ophthalmology, according to which LASIK may be five times safer than contact lenses. It also follows announcements by the US Department of Defense in May 2007 that it is endorsing bladeless LASIK for all its branches of service. “NASA’s approval clearly validates bladeless LASIK’s safety and effectiveness”, said Dr. Steve Stetson, MD, Medical Director at Diamond Vision. Even consumers’ most extreme lifestyles are nothing compared to being ejected from an F16 or the severe pressure changes experienced by astronauts.” Space-age LASIK is bladeless. While more than 11 million LASIK procedures have been performed to date in the US, it wasn’t until LASIK developed into an all-laser procedure that NASA approved it for use on astronauts who face the extreme, physical challenges of space travel and zero gravity. The specific form of LASIK approved by NASA involves two steps: the creation of a corneal flap using the ultra-precise Intralase laser, and the sculpting of the cornea behind the flap using an advanced customized ablation. The NASA decision was made following review of extensive military clinical trials. These studies revealed, for example, that:
Dr. Steven Stetson, MD, Medical Director of Diamond Vision was previously Medical Director of the prestigious Air Force Academy Laser Eye Clinic. His outstanding results persuaded the Air Force to endorse LASIK for its personnel. At Diamond Vision, Dr. Stetson is leading a team of highly specialized eye surgeons with outstanding experience and expertise in Custom bladeless “Intralase” LASIK. ______________________________________________________________
Diamond Vision Voted Best of Fairfield County
An independent poll organized by Fairfield County Weekly identified Diamond Vision as the best LASIK practice in Fairfield County, CT. This distinction rewards years of growth, reputation and recognition in Fairfield County, Diamond Vision's birthplace.Indeed, Diamond Vision was founded more than 10 years ago in the influential and discriminating town of Greenwich, CT, home of the Bush family, Ethel and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Ivana Trump, Mel Gibson, Diana Ross, Ron Howard, Kathie Lee Gifford, Harry and Leona Helmsley, and many other luminaries. The Diamond Vision administrative headquarters are in Greenwich, CT, and its largest flagship laser center is in Manhattan, New York. "I want to thank all our friends and patients in Fairfield County for making this award possible, said Robert T. Spector, MD, a distinguished Fairfield County LASIK surgeon who joined the Diamond Vision team last year. Dr.Spector earned three post-doctoral ophthalmology fellowships and invented a key diagnostic device used in LASIK. He has performed more than 25,000 procedures.
Diamond Vision’s new Manhattan laser center opens its doors After many years of growth, Diamond Vision is finally moving into a bigger, better laser center in Manhattan. Located on bustling West 44th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue, the new LASIK center, which opens on February 1st, 2007 is more than twice the size of the old one – enough to accommodate the growing number of New Yorkers looking for more freedom from glasses or contact lenses. “We are very pleased to give our patients the luxury of space”, said Steven Stetson, MD, Medical Director of Diamond Vision – this will truly be our flagship office.” The new, mid-town office will bring a new level of comfort, luxury and security to patients, doctors and staff. Among the many amenities offered are:
“This will bring the patient experience to the next level, said Isabelle Filatov, President of Diamond Vision. And as always, we are committed to providing the best value in Manhattan for refractive surgery and for the advanced procedures pioneered here at Diamond Vision, CustomVue Intralase “blade-free” LASIK and PRK.” Diamond Vision was the first practice in the tri-state area to offer CustomVue “blade-free” Intralase and to teach it to other doctors. More people chose Diamond Vision for this premium procedure than any other provider in the tri-state area. For a free consultation in Diamond Vision’s new flagship Manhattan office, or in any of its six other offices in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, call 1-800-984-2020 or schedule online at diamondvision.com. _____________________________________________ The Greening of LASIK
It started with the affluent and the educated. It is now reaching every layer of society. The search for pure, wholesome, chemical-free products and lifestyles is one of the most powerful consumer trends of this Century. Consumption of mineral water is up. Consumption of soda is down, and organic producers see their sales grow by 20% each year. Diamond Vision is pioneering the quest for natural, wholesome solutions to vision impairments. Last year, it decided to systematically use preservative-free tears for all its surface ablations, and has now become the largest prescriber of preservative-free artificial tears in the tri-state area. Preservative-free eye drops were made possible by new containers that prevent contamination from the outside without the need for added chemicals. Dr. Gould, Chief Scientific Advisor at Diamond Vision has patented a unique container system which aims at making preservatives obsolete by using a valve that insulates the drops from outside air and bacteria. “In the future we will be able to extend the benefits of preservative-free purity to all kinds of eye drops, not just the lubricants used to prevent dryness”, predicts Dr. Gould. Diamond Vision is also building on the wellness movement to help patients feel reassured during the LASIK procedure. “Over the years, we have developed a protocol that allows patients to relax and have a positive surgical experience”, said Christine Becker, Director of Quality Assurance, who is in charge of the laser rooms at all Diamond Vision locations. In the Manhattan laser suite, Ms Becker worked with sounds and colors to create a spa-like atmosphere. _____________________________________________ Diamond Vision celebrates its Tenth Year Anniversary
Greenwich, 1/16/2006 - In January 2006, Diamond Vision celebrated its tenth year of leadership and excellence in laser vision correction.

Patient satisfaction at an all-time high New York, 9-9-2005. For the third straight month, patient satisfaction at Diamond Vision has been at an all-time high, with 100% of patients surveyed saying they would either recommend, or consider recommending Diamond Vision to their friends or family (no patient stated that they would NOT recommend Diamond Vision). Specifically, satisfaction rates have reached new heights when patients were asked to rate their experience during the free consultation and on the day of surgery. “The whole team here at Diamond Vision is thrilled with these results”, stated Isabelle Filatov PhD, President of Diamond Vision. “In our almost ten years of existence we have always had high patient satisfaction rates, but these latest results show that we were able to do even better to give Diamond Vision patients extraordinary results and a first-class experience.” Patient referrals are also at an all-time high, both in absolute numbers and as a proportion of total referrals. Brad Botelho, Chief Operating Officer and Vice-President, attributed the higher rates to new surgeons, to ongoing efforts at training, and to new incentives that encourage the staff to offer superior customer service. Diamond Vision is the only New York metro practice to monitor customer satisfaction in all its locations, on an ongoing basis.

New Jersey Police Officer “Sees Clearly” PATERSON , NJ (May, 05) - Nelson Morales was a New Jersey police officer with a problem. Not only was he a respected member of the highly trained Canine Unit within his division, but was also a marksman. A member of S.W.A.T., he spent hours peering through the scope of a high powered rifle, waiting for that one second, that one clean shot. Not the best time to have to adjust your glasses. Officer Morales didn't know what to do. “It was getting to the point where I'd be in the woods with my police dog, and my glasses would come off. I'd have to stop, find them, clean them off, put them back on,” and all the while my dog is barking, raring to catch the suspect,” said Officer Morales. “Or, even worse, I'd have to adjust my glasses while looking through my rifle's scope. I'd have to stop, readjust, I'd lose valuable time. I didn't know what to do.” Then Officer Morales considered laser eye surgery. He checked out different practices, but kept coming back to the Diamond Vision web site. Then one day, he saw the contest on the Diamond Vision site for free LASIK. He entered, telling the story of how he'd love to not have to wear his glasses while tracking a criminal with his dog, or while on a mission. Officer Morales' story was moving and heartfelt enough to beat out the 85 entries into the Diamond Vision “See Clearly” contest, and Officer Morales had his surgery last month. “It's like a miracle,” said Officer Morales. “No more glasses, no more worrying that I'll lose them – I can focus on the citizens I've taken a sworn oath to protect – making sure they stay safe and my community feels secure knowing I'm on the job. Thank you, Diamond Vision!”
Dr. Gould becomes Chief Scientific Advisor
Dr. Gould, a recognized leader in the field of refractive surgery, has been named Chief Scientific Advisor at Diamond Vision. Trained at Columbia and Harvard University , Dr. Gould was the first eye physician to use implants to correct vision in New York . He also pioneered the use of corneal ablations and incisions to correct vision, paving the way for procedures such as LASIK. In 1980, Dr. Gould was instrumental in persuading the US Congress to pass a private bill to allow Russian scientist Fyedorov to enter the US and teach the new field of refractive surgery. Dr. Gould's leadership and pioneering spirit have earned him the respect of his peers, and are evident in his continued work as Founder and President of the New York Keratorefractive Surgery and the New York Intra-Ocular Lens Implant Society. Dr. Gould will advise the Diamond Vision medical and surgical team on issues such as new technologies, scientific leadership and long-term strategic planning. “We are very honored to have Dr, Gould as our Chief Scientific Advisor, said Isabelle Filatov PhD, President of Diamond Vision. We recognize in him the true spirit of innovation and scientific progress - values we want to nurture and foster at Diamond Vision.”
