Technologies We Use
iScience
We are proud to be one of the few practices in Tucson now offering canaloplasty, a new, minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of uncontrolled open angle glaucoma. Using the iScience iTrack™ microcatheter, canaloplasty improves the eye's drainage through its natural outflow pathways. If you've had difficulty controlling your intraocular pressure with medications or laser surgery, you might be a candidate for canaloplasty.
Have failed in the treatment of glaucoma, ophthalmologists have turned to filtering surgical procedures, such as trabeculectomy or drainage devices (see related chapters) to achieve better IOP control.

Learn About ICLAlso known as the implantable contact lens, the Visian ICL® is a thin, prescription lens which is inserted into the eye to correct a very wide range of refractive errors. It is capable of treating rather large degrees of myopia or hyperopia, and may be an option for patients who are outside the treatment range of LASIK.
How our patients see it
"I did some research online when I decided to seek PRK, and FBM came up in the top searches. It was a big commitment but I decided it was time. After I scheduled the appointment for operation I heard family and friends that the FBM were the elite pros, so I felt confident in my decision. Post op seeing is no longer an issue, driving at night, sitting in the back of the class, and able to read the board, and most importantly having that restriction on my driver’s license lifted. Thanks Dr. Bakewell and staff at FBM for changing my lifestyle for the better."
