HUNTINGTON, NY, February 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) Richard G. Davis, MD, one of the original founding partners of Island Eye Surgicenter and the founder of Precision Eye Care, announces that a decision has been reached to acquire one of the first OCT guided Femtosecond lasers designed for cataract surgery in the country.
"This new procedure will improve the safety and reproducibility of cataract surgery, making an already successful procedure less risky and more reliable," says Dr. Davis. "This will be the next big breakthrough in eye surgery and I am very excited about the future. The laser will be guided by a computer which is able to image the eye in real time and do some of the most complex parts of the surgery. I think this will improve an already low complication rate by about 75%!"
Island Eye Surgicenter anticipates having the laser installed and running by late February / early March. Island Eye is unique in that it focuses on the surgical care and treatment of eye disorders and specializes in the most advanced laser cataract surgery on Long Island.
"There will only be 2 lasers in the entire Northeast part of the country for about the next year and having our facility chosen to be one of the first is a testament to the quality of care delivered at Island Eye Surgicenter."
As more information becomes available, it will be posted on www.precision-eyecare.com or you may contact Precision Eye Care at (631)462-2020.
