MACUGEN®

MACUGEN is the first therapy approved by the FDA to treat all types of wet macular degeneration.  MACUGEN works differently from all other treatments.  It blocks a key signal that causes abnormal vessels to grow and leak.  By helping to slow the growth of these abnormal blood vessels, MACUGEN can slow the damage they do to your sight.  The goal of therapy with MACUGEN is to help slow the progression of your disease and preserve your vision.  In clinical trials, patients receiving MACUGEN lost less vision on average than patients who did not receive MACUGEN.  However, results may vary from person to person.  Call us today to schedule your evaluation for this exciting new treatment.  For more details about MACUGEN visit www.macugen.com.

RESTASIS®

Real hope for chronic dry eye due to reduced tear production!  Now there is an FDA approved prescription eye drop called RESTASIS Ophthalmic Emulsion.  It is the only prescription eye drop for this condition that helps your eyes increase their own tear production with continued use.  The approved treatment is one drop in the morning and one drop at night in each eye, every day.  Unlike artificial tears, RESTASIS Ophthalmic Emulsion helps increase your natural ability to produce tears which may be suppressed by inflammation due to chronic dry eye.  Many patients using RESTASIS report a noticeable increase in tear production with continued use.  For more information about RESTASIS go to www.restasis.com or give us a call.

MULTIFOCAL LENS IMPLANTS

Multifocal lens implants may be the most exciting development in the lens implant field in over 30 years! The recently FDA-approved multifocal lens implant is a landmark in vision technology offering patients good vision for both distance and near without the need for reading glasses.  The standard intraocular lens implant gives good distance vision but often requires the use of reading glasses.  When your eyes were young, your natural lens was both transparent and flexible.  Because of this, your vision was most likely stable until you reached your forties.  Around that time, you may have noticed that you  had to hold a menu or book farther away to read it.  Many people end up wearing a pair of reading glasses to compensate for this aging of the eye or after having cataract surgery.  Now the AcrySof^® ReSTOR^® IOL and the ReZoom^® Multifocal IOL are delivering a high level of glasses-free vision. In clinical studies, 80-92% of patients receiving the multifocal IOl reported that they never wear glasses for their activities.  With the multifocal lens they can read a book, work on the computer, drive a car - day or night - and play golf without glasses.
