Procedure for correcting aging eyesight adds to list of “firsts” for practice, brings vision correction opportunities to Nevada residents
RENO, Nev. – Eye Care Professionals, an ophthalmology practice in northern Nevada, announced today that Dr. Matthew Mills, M.D. became the first surgeon in northern Nevada to surgically implant a new type of intraocular lens (IOL), the RayOne EMV, which provides patients undergoing cataract surgery a greater range of vision through its optics. The lens features spherical aberration to provide improved vision for both distance and intermediate ranges, decreasing a patient’s need for glasses. The procedure was performed at the Visionary Surgery Center of Nevada in south Reno.
Presbyopia is a loss of the eye’s ability to focus caused by aging. The RayOne EMV lens, designed by renowned Australian ophthalmologist Dr. Graham Barrett and manufactured by Rayner, a designer and manufacturer of intraocular lenses and proprietary injection devices, leverages a patented design that minimizes “halos” often seen by those with intraocular lenses. It also ensures patients experience a greater functional range of vision.
“Presbyopia is a natural part of aging, but with the technology of the RayOne EMV, we are able to correct a patient’s vision so they are able to see well both near and far, and also peripherally,” said Dr. Mills. “This lens is special in that it is designed to give patients excellent vision at distance and intermediate ranges without the adverse visual phenomena associated with many other Presbyopia Correcting IOLs.”
A study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services that conducts biomedical and public health research, projects that visual impairment and blindness cases in the U.S. are expected to double by 2050. The team at Eye Care Professionals has been growing to match the needs of Nevada’s population and this new procedure is expected to garner popularity as the average age of Nevadans increases and our population continues to grow.
In addition to being another corrective tool for visually impaired patients, the surgery adds to Eye Care Professionals list of notable operations. The practice was the first to perform LenSx Bladeless Laser Cataract Surgery in Nevada in 2009 as well as the first to perform Wavefront LASIK in Reno in 2004.
“We pride ourselves on being innovators at Eye Care Professionals,” said Dr. Mills. “Being the first surgeon in northern Nevada to perform this life changing surgery is another testament to our commitment to providing leading-edge eye care solutions for our patients.”
Dr. Matthew Mills, M.D. is board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and received his M.D. at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. He interned at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and completed his residency in ophthalmology at the Louisiana State University Medical Center. He serves as an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Nevada School of Medicine.
