NEW YORK MAGAZINE In the September 25, 2000 issue of New York Magazine, the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and Dr. Soloway were featured in a special section called "Managing Your Health." This article discussed the two main advances in vision correction that were made at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary this past year.
The first item was the addition of the new LADARVision "flying-spot" laser. This excimer laser is the only tracking laser approved by the FDA. "With the ability to track the eye over 4,000 times a second, the beam can safely stay focused on the portion of the eye where the surgery is taking place despite the fact that the eye is in constant movement." This laser also has the ability to treat a larger optical zone, thereby greatly reducing the risk of glare and halos.
The next topic discussed was the FDA clinical trials for the Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia. The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary is one of only six sites in the United States involved in these trials. Dr. Soloway explains, "Nearly 90 percent of adults aged 45 and older need glasses or contact lenses for reading and close-up tasks due to presbyopia." During this procedure Dr. Soloway places four arched bands in the sclera (white part) of the patient's eye which allows them to focus on near objects again.
If you are interested in either of these procedures please call Vista Alliance at 1 888 NY LASIK |
