Redding Eye Surgeon Announces Arrival of FDA-Approved TECNIS Symfony Intraocular Lenses
Ophthalmologist Michael Sumsion, MD offers TECNIS Symfony IOLs to help cataract surgery patients achieve clearer vision and increased independence from glasses
(firmenpresse) - REDDING, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/10/16 -- As a board-certified ophthalmologist with years of experience in laser vision correction and cataract surgery, Michael Sumsion, MD is enthusiastic about recent developments in intraocular lens implant technology. At his practice, Riverside EyeCare Professionals, Dr. Sumsion is now offering the latest addition to the TECNIS® family of IOLs: the TECNIS® Symfony lens.
According to Dr. Sumsion, Symfony® is the first ever extended depth of focus lens on the market. What sets Symfony® IOLs apart, he explains, is that they deliver continuous high-quality vision at near, intermediate, and far distances for cataract surgery patients.
When describing the different IOL options that are available to cataract patients, Dr. Sumsion highlights the pros and cons of traditional monofocal lenses, multifocal lenses, and Symfony® lenses. Compared to conventional , he says, advanced Symfony® IOLs offer numerous benefits that can translate to superior vision improvement for patients who are good candidates. Advantages include:
Correction for age-related farsightedness (presbyopia)
Reduction in visual aberrations, such as halos and glare, which can be a concern with some types of traditional multifocal lenses.
Clearer vision over an extended range of distances and at any time of day.
Uninterrupted transition between focal points at various distances.
Independence from or reduced reliance upon glasses.
He also points out that Symfony® is available in a toric version for patients with astigmatism.
Symfony® has proven to be a very popular option among those who have received the lenses during cataract surgery, says Dr. Sumsion. Clinical studies have reported rates of satisfaction as high as 97%, with patients claiming they would choose to have the lens implanted again. He encourages individuals who are considering to explore all of their IOL options with their surgeon and ask about whether or not TECNIS® Symfony lenses may be right for them.
