Dr. Jack Abrams and Dr. Eric T. Brooker OD, FAAO to Perform the First KAMRA Inlay Procedure to Eliminate Reading Glasses in the State of Nevada

    LAS VEGAS, NV, June 10, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Jack Abrams with the Abrams Eye Institute has been at the forefront of technology in eye surgery and merely three years after introducing laser assisted cataract surgery to the state of Nevada, he was selected by other leaders in his field to be one of the first few surgeons in the country to perform this innovative procedure. Dr. Abrams holds many prestigious positions and continues to make significant contributions to his field thorough advanced surgical techniques at the state of the art facility, Abrams Eye Institute.

Dr. Eric T. Brooker has been instrumental in the research, development and advancement of the KAMRA technology over the past 8 years. Not only was he involved in overseeing enrollment of the FDA clinical trials, but he was involved as a medical consultant and international surgical trainer for AcuFocus;(Irvine, CA) during the launch of KAMRA technology to combat the condition of presbyopia and eliminate the need for reading glasses worldwide. Dr. Brooker has trained surgeons across the globe on the KAMRA surgical procedure, and has seen hundreds of patients that have undergone this procedure. He is excited to bring this revolutionary technology to the state of Nevada.

Presbyopia is a common eye condition affecting more than one hundred million Americans. Presbyopia causes a loss of near vision in individuals over the age of forty and gets worse over time. This loss of near vision requires the use of reading glasses. During this simple fifteen minute vision correction procedure, the KAMRA inlay is carefully placed in the cornea utilizing a femtosecond laser. This thin membrane restores near vision while maintaining distance vision. The revolutionary concept that sets the KAMRA technology apart from other attempts to correct presbyopia, is that it is immune to the progressive nature of near vision loss, so overtime the treatment does not wear off. The KAMRA procedure can reduce the need for reading glasses for everyday tasks such as looking at smart phones, computers, reading labels etc. and restore the youthfulness and freedom that is lost by being dependent on reading glasses to see things up close.

Dr. Abrams and Dr. Brooker are both available for media interviews.
