Return to Vista in the news

Fox 5 Ten O'clock News
April 29, 2001

On April 29, 2001 Barrie Soloway, MD, FACS was interviewed by Andrea Day on the Fox 5 Ten O'clock News.  The segment explained the new Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia procedure and the benefits that it may provide for patients who have to wear reading glasses. 

Mary Erra, the first patient to have her eyes corrected by the SRP procedure in the United States, was also interviewed by Andrea Day. She told of how her life has improved since Dr. Soloway performed this surgery on her.  She no longer has to wear reading glasses and can now complete tasks that used to be difficult, such as putting on her make-up and reading a newspaper with ease. 

While this surgery will not be fully approved for a couple of years, it is possible for patients to take part in the FDA clinical trials.  We are now forming a waiting list to participate in the Phase II trials, which will begin shortly at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.
