HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SightMD is proud to announce that Dr. Eric Rosenberg has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by becoming the second ophthalmologist in the United States and the third in the world to perform the revolutionary "lightless" cataract surgery. This cutting-edge procedure is set to redefine cataract treatment by offering patients a safer, more precise option that eliminates the need for traditional operating room lighting during surgery.
The innovative "lightless" technique utilizes advanced imaging and laser technology to guide the surgeon through the cataract removal process, replacing the need for conventional surgical lighting. This breakthrough significantly reduces light exposure to the eye, which can minimize risks and improve outcomes, particularly for patients with light sensitivity or other eye health concerns.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Rosenberg leading the way in this extraordinary advancement in cataract surgery," said Jeffrey Martin, MD, Co-founder and President of SightMD. "His expertise and commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology demonstrate our dedication to providing patients with the best possible care and innovative treatments."
Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures worldwide, and advancements like the "lightless" method ensure that patients can experience shorter recovery times, improved visual outcomes, and enhanced safety.
"Being part of the evolution of cataract surgery is an incredible honor," said Dr. Eric Rosenberg. "With this new technology, we can take a significant step toward improving patient comfort and surgical precision, which ultimately results in better long-term vision for those undergoing cataract surgery."
Dr. Rosenberg has been a key figure at SightMD and is recognized for his exceptional surgical skills and dedication to ophthalmic advancements. His adoption of this state-of-the-art procedure aligns with SightMD's ongoing mission to provide world-class eye care to patients in New York and beyond.
