Return to Vista in the news

Channel 2 WCBS News on SRP

On November 6, 2000 Barrie Soloway, M.D., F.A.C.S. was featured on the CBS 11 O'Clock News.  As the principal investigator at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary for the Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia, Dr. Soloway has successfully completed all patients for the Phase I FDA Clinical Trials. 

This innovative new surgery "Brings people back to a younger age when they didn't have to use glasses for reading," explains Dr. Soloway.  No laser is used for this surgery. Instead four implants about the size of small grain of rice are inserted into the white part of the eye. These implants are removable if the patient is not satisfied with the results.

Two of Dr. Soloway's patients were interviewed by CBS in order to see if the procedure was a success. Anthony Sabatino, a 53 year old patient who had the procedure done, was shown reading a magazine.  That would have been impossible for him to do without glasses a few months ago.  "I can't believe it, it's amazing," was Mr. Sabatino"s reaction to this breakthrough surgery.  Bob Gallagher was interviewed next, and was just as delighted from the results of the surgery. "It is a miracle. The day after, I could read without glasses," was Mr. Gallagher's reaction.
