OCULAR SURGERY
NEWS October 2000

In the October 2000 issue of Ocular Surgery News Barrie Soloway, MD, FACS wrote an article describing his experiences performing the Surgical Reversal of Presbyopia. 

Dr. Soloway began learning about this procedure in 1998 when he attended a course given by Ronald Schachar, MD. Dr. Schachar developed a new theory as to why presbyopia occurs and a procedure that could correct the problem.   Dr. Soloway began traveling to Mexico to conduct the procedure on patients and saw excellent results.

In March of 2000, Dr. Soloway performed the first SRP procedure in the United States for the Phase I FDA Clinical Trials.  Reporters from both NBC and ABC were present to witness this event and were amazed when they saw the outcome. "When the patient sat up and read the New York Times, we could see the journalists' jaws drop", Dr. Soloway recalls.  Dr. Soloway has now completed surgery on the patients for the Phase I study. He is currently traveling abroad to conduct the surgery and looks forward to Phase II, when he will be able help more patients rid themselves of the hassles of reading glasses.
