Lisa M. Cibik, MD, FACS Implants First & Newest Technology in Lens Replacement
Cataracts are a common eye condition where the natural lens becomes clouded, impairing a patient's vision. According to the National Eye Institute, more than 20% of Americans will have cataracts by the age of 65. In cataract surgery, the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an Intraocular Lens (IOL). Traditional monofocal IOLs have been limited to improving distance vision without astigmatism correction. The ACTIVEFOCUS™ Toric and Symfony Toric IOLs improve visual acuity at close, intermediate and far ranges and, therefore, may reduce the need for patients to wear contacts or glasses after cataract surgery. "In our continuing efforts to offer the most innovative services in cataract surgery, we are excited to include these IOLs as part of our options for patients."A leader in eye care, Dr. Lisa Cibik and her team strive to bring forth the most promising best-in-class technologies. As such, Dr. Cibik concluded, "With these options, we are ushering in a new refractive era and transforming the way we are able to address a multitude of optical issues in one minimally invasive procedure." ACTIVEFOCUS™ Toric IOL Symphony Multifocal Toric IOL The surgeons at AIO offer the ACTIVEFOCUS™ Toric and Symfony Toric IOLs along with Laser Assisted and Dropless cataract surgery to ensure their patients receive their best potential outcomes. Laser Assisted and Dropless Cataract Surgery AIO is the first eye surgical practice in Western Pennsylvania to offer Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery. The femtosecond technology of the LenSx® Laser allows surgeons to make create corneal incisions, correct astigmatism, and soften the natural lens by using a laser instead of a blade, all before entering the eye to remove the cataract. Dropless cataract curgery is a revolutionary treatment option that provides convenience and cost-savings for patients while reducing patient's post-operative treatment regimen. During this procedure, medication is placed in the eye to help reduce the risk of inflammation and infection, and is a critical part of ensuring successful outcomes.
