D'Ambrosio Eye Care Brings Advanced Cataract Surgery Lens Implant to New England

    BOSTON, MA, September 03, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "When the Food and Drug Administration approved the TECNIS Symfony Extended Range of Vision Lens Implant for people with cataracts, I was thrilled to be selected as the first cataract surgeon in New England to use it to help patients improve their vision at close, intermediate and far ranges and even help reduce their need to wear contact lenses or glasses after cataract surgery," noted Francis D'Ambrosio, Jr., M.D., Medical Director of D'Ambrosio Eye Care.

Cataracts are a common eye problem that increase in prevalence with age and affect more than 20% of people by the age of 65, increasing even further with age. "Fortunately, we are able to remove the cloudy crystalline lens where the cataract forms with proven cataract surgery procedures. Over the years we have used continuously advancing lens implant technology to improve vision after the cataract is removed. Traditional monofocal lens implants have been limited to improving distance vision. The TECNIS Symfony IOL improves visual acuity at close, intermediate and far ranges and, therefore, will give patients the convenience of carrying on each day's normal activities and tasks without the limitations of being dependent on eyewear," explained Dr. D'Ambrosio Jr. Dr. D'Ambrosio is the first cataract surgeon in New England to perform laser cataract surgery with the TECNIS Symfony Extended Range of Vision Lens Implant and now makes it available to patients throughout western and central Massachusetts.
