Dr. Charles H. Williamson of Williamson Eye Center in
Baton Rouge has been named a charter member of Bausch + Lomb's new
Millennium Society. Dr. Williamson is one of twelve U.S. Crystalens
surgeons who was honored at the recent national meeting of the
American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery held in Boston.
Crystalens is the only FDA approved accommodating intraocular lens (IOL).
"We are very pleased to honor Dr. Williamson as a charter member of the
Millennium Society. He has performed over one thousand Crystalens
surgeries and has been a national leader in giving his baby boomer and
senior patients an opportunity to not only see, but to see better," said
Amy Jacobs, global marketing director for Crystalens.
The choices in vision correction have grown significantly over the past
twenty years. The development of the Crystalens gives many baby
boomers and seniors an opportunity to see clearly at all distances and
reduce their dependency on glasses. The Crystalens is the only
intraocular lens that uses the natural focusing ability of the eye by
using the eye muscle to flex and accommodate in order to focus on
objects whether they are near, far or in between.
"I'm honored that Bausch + Lomb has honored me as one of the first
members of the Millennium Society. I've embraced the Crystalens
as a very important option for my patients because after having the
Crystalens implanted they hardly, if ever, need their glasses or
contacts again," said Dr. Williamson.
The Williamson Eye Center offers a number of vision correction options
for its patient. It is important that each patient is fully informed
about what to expect before, during and after a surgical procedure.
If a patient has healthy eyes, has not had previous cataract surgery and
does not suffer from major health problems, then he or she is likely to
be a good candidate for Crystalens.
There are three million cataract surgeries performed every year in the
U.S. A cataract is a clouding of the normal clear lens in the eye. When
a cataract forms, the natural lens in the eye is replaced by an
intraocular lens. Research indicates that only a small fraction of
people realize that not all intraocular lenses are the same. The
research also indicates that a number of patients are willing to pay a
little extra money in order to get the best quality vision.
Williamson Eye Center is located at 550 Connell's Park Lane, Baton
Rouge, LA. For more information please visit our website
