Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- Associates in Ophthalmology (AIO), a southwestern Pennsylvania surgical practice of Pittsburgh eye doctors specializing in Pittsburgh Lasik surgery, as well as diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of other conditions that affect vision, is very pleased to announce that surgeons, Dr. Lisa Cibik and Dr. John Nairn, will be donating four cataract surgeries in Bausch & Lomb Surgical's crystalens® program.
Bausch & Lomb Surgical is donating a pair of crystalens® lenses to qualified patients requiring cataract surgery if surgeons participating in the program agree to donate their surgical procedures. The program occurs on April 9, 2008, at 7:30 AM and lasts until 9:10 AM Eastern Daylight Time. About Bausch & Lomb Surgical's Crystalens® Lenses
The crystalens® lenses are considered an upgrade from the lenses commonly used in cataract surgery and generally cost an additional $3500 to implant. They are designed to lessen a patient's dependence on glasses after cataract surgery and enhance their visual acuity at near, intermediate, and far distances. Patients who have chosen crystalens® lenses report that their vision after surgery is restored to the clarity they enjoyed in their 30s. Patient selection for the crystalens® program is based primarily on their inability to afford a crystalens® upgrade under normal circumstances. If they have been chosen to participate in the program, patients must schedule their surgery during the program's duration.
