MEDFORD, N.J., May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Varunan Sivalingam (Dr. Siv)
of Medford, NJ is the first ophthalmologist in New Jersey to have performed
cataract surgery by implanting the revolutionary - and only FDA approved
lens - crystalens(R). This relatively new procedure duplicates the eye's
natural focusing mechanism and provides 24-hour-a-day full range of
distance, intermediate and near.
Dr. Siv is one of only 3% of ophthalmologists in the nation currently
performing crystalens(R) surgery. This surgery is also being performed at:
-- Tufts - New England Medical Center - Boston, MA
-- Baylor University Medical Center - Dallas, TX
-- UCLA Medical Center - California
-- Bascom Palmer Eye Institute - Miami, FL
-- Massachusetts Eye and Ear Institute - Boston MA
Last month, Dr. Siv, a Moorestown, NJ resident, lectured on
crystalens(R) cataract surgery at a national gathering of ophthalmologists
at the annual symposium of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive
Surgery in San Diego, CA.
People over 50 are at risk for developing cataracts.
