What You Can Do About Your Aging Eyes w/Dr. Ella Faktorovich

By now, most of us are familiar with LASIK, which can correct both near- and farsighted vision. But there's a newer option that LASIK can't address—the aging eye. As we get into our mid-40s and beyond, the eye's natural lens loses flexibility, leading to presbyopia and that all-too-familiar need for (i.e. hassle of) reading glasses. Lens replacement surgery offers a solution: the aging lens is swapped out for an implant that can restore clear, often near-perfect vision. Many patients choose to have this done at the same time as cataract surgery, since insurance will often cover part of the cost. Dr. Ella Faktorovitch, an industry leader in lens replacement surgery, joins us to share the details of the procedure.  Dr. Faktorovich founded Pacific Vision Institute more than twenty years ago. Under her leadership, Pacific Vision Institute, located in the Bay Area, offers the industry's newest diagnostic and treatment technologies to patients. The Institute's doctors are continually recognized for their involvement in leading research and educational projects that advance the field of vision correction. For more, go to pacificvision.org.
