Edward E. Manche, MD, is a board-certified ophthalmologist who is an expert in refractive surgery
and other new technologies for the correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.
He has performed more than 28,000 laser vision correction procedures and is recognized as one of the
top performing refractive surgeons in the United States and internationally. He speaks widely about
laser eye surgery and serves as an investigator in the FDA clinical trials where new refractive surgery
technologies are developed. In fact, Dr. Manche performed the first CK procedure in the United States
during an FDA clinical trial.
He has been selected for numerous honors recognizing his leadership in
the fields of ophthalmology and laser vision correction, including "America's Top Doctors,"
"Best Doctors in America," "Top Doctors in Silicon Valley," "America's Top Ophthalmologists,"
"Top 500 Doctors in the Bay Area" and "Guide to America's Top Ophthalmologists."
About Stanford Eye Laser Center
Dr. Edward Manche is director of Cornea and Refractive Surgery at the Stanford Eye Laser Center.
This center incorporates the most advanced technology for laser vision correction.
For LASIK, the newest in wavefront technology is used to measure the minute optical properties of each patient's eyes.
These measurements are then programmed into the laser system to ensure the highest precision.
IntraLASIK is also part of the Dr. Manche's focus on quality. This technology uses a laser,
instead of a blade, to create the "corneal flap" during the LASIK procedure, again maximizing
precision and optimizing the visual outcome of each patient's surgery.
In addition to LASIK, Stanford Eye Laser Center offers PRK, LASEK, AK (astigmatic keratotomy),
CK (for near vision correction) and ICL (implantable contact lenses).
For those highly myopic patients who do not qualify for LASIK, Dr Manche also
now offers surgery with the Verisyse IOL. Dr. Manche can discuss
with you the various options for refractive surgery and determine which best fits your needs.
