Recently, Carmel decided to do something about her poor eyesight. After much research, she made an appointment with Drs. Robert Maloney and Uday Devgan. Dr. Devgan, MVI's cataract and lens specialist, advised Carmel about a number of new surgical options popular among baby boomers whose already-poor eyesight has worsened with age.



Carmel decided to undergo a 10-minute, painless lens-exchange procedure. Every day she appreciates the newfound freedom of her sharp unaided vision.

?It fabulous,? Carmel said. ?Just recently I was slicing some tomatoes and was thinking that when I wore glasses I would have to push them up my nose or bring them a little further down so I could sort of try judging with the knife. And here I'm making all these nice slices and they're all equal. I could never have done that before.?

There are many vision correction options, all or which center around the two main focusing structures of the eye: the cornea and the lens, Dr. Devgan says. The cornea is the outer clear tissue over the center of the eye whose shape and focusing ability can be optimized with procedures such as LASIK ? what most people think of as ?laser eye surgery.?

While laser eye surgery is an excellent option for many patients, there are other choices for patients with high degrees of correction and for patients who wish to restore their reading vision as well, said Dr. Devgan.
