ELKTON, Md., May 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patients with cataracts, presbyopia, and astigmatism now can choose the advanced TECNIS Symfony® lenses to experience high-quality continuous vision. Symfony lenses have been recently approved and provide patients with improved focus and clearer vision. These lenses are implanted following cataract surgery, making other eyewear unnecessary. With cataract surgeries on the rise and the likelihood of developing cataracts increasing as one ages, this advancement can make a difference in cataract treatment and outcome. Discuss Symfony lenses with vision care providers at Lavenburg Medical Group.
Approved by the FDA in July, only a few providers offer Symfony lenses to vision patients. Symfony lenses are the first in a new category of IOLs (intraocular lenses). Those who undergo cataract surgery can now benefit from an extended depth of focus. Symfony lenses offer high-quality continuous vision to patients, allowing them to see near, intermediate, and far distances clearly without the need for glasses.
Cataracts are a common condition occurring in seniors and the elderly. Over half of Americans either have a cataract or have undergone cataract surgery by the age of 80. There are approximately four million cataract surgeries performed annually. Younger people have also had to undergo cataract surgery, with an estimated 25 percent of cataract surgeries in 2016 performed on those younger than 65. Co-occurring conditions often develop along with cataracts, such as astigmatism and presbyopia. Symfony lenses also address these conditions and help patients see clearer, supporting their ability to perform visual tasks.
“There is little doubt that patients see clearer with Symfony lenses. We offer our patients these technologically advanced lenses to improve their vision and address serious eye conditions. Those with presbyopia and who have undergone cataract surgery will greatly benefit from the recently approved Symfony lenses,” said Douglas J. Lavenburg, MD, PA. “Patients want to continue to enjoy hobbies and an active lifestyle during the day and night, without having to worry about halos or glare. Symfony lenses are inserted during surgery and reduce the need for additional eyewear. These lenses are an important addition to IOL options and address a number of important vision concerns. Our staff welcomes questions about the advanced Symfony lenses.”
