Precision Eye Care on Long Island, NY is pleased to announce the offering of new breakthrough technology in premium Intraocular Lens Implants (IOL) for cataract patients. The TRULIGN®Toric IOL is used in adult patients with a cataract who also have corneal astigmatism. Dr. Richard G. Davis is one of the first cataract surgeons in the US certified to use TRULIGN®Toric IOL in Suffolk County.

Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the TRULIGN® Toric Intraocular lens (IOL) from Bausch + Lomb. Unlike standard cataract replacement lens, the implantation of the TRULIGN® Toric IOL corrects for pre- existing astigmatism (blurred vision) and provides improved vision for all functional activities, including driving, working on a computer, watching television and participating in sports activities. The TRULIGN® Toric lens is designed for patients with active lifestyles.

"TRULIGN® Toric IOL is a premium IOL that not only treats your cataracts, but any post-operative astigmatism as well and it can result in much greater freedom from glasses, ultimately providing patients with a broader range of vision. The TRULIGN® lens truly is the future of lens replacement.” states Dr. Davis.

A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens in the eye and is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Cataract surgery is one of the safest, most common and effective surgical procedures. The surgery is a simple procedure during which the natural lens in the patient's eye is surgically replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL).

Precision Eye Care offers a full range of surgical vision procedures including Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery, Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery, and Refractive Lens Exchange. Also patients that opt for one of our premium surgical packages (Toric IOL, Multifocal IOL or Femtosecond Cataract Surgery) are automatically transitioned to our Concierge Surgical Service, giving them an individualized, superior experience for their surgical treatments. Dr. Davis invites patients interested in this new lens technology to call the office at 631-462-2020 or visit www.precision-eyecare for more information.
