Clemson Eye Expert Discusses Revolutionary Advances in Cataract Surgery at Cascades Verdae

2012-01-26

WHO: Dr. Joseph Parisi, an American Board Certified Ophthalmologist from Clemson Eye which is one of the first practices in the Upstate to offer the LenSx laser for custom cataract surgery.

WHAT: Dr. Parisi will discuss the latest advances in eye care, including the ground-breaking LenSx laser which revolutionizes the way today’s cataract surgeries are performed. Until now, cataract surgery required the use of a manual surgical blade, but with recent FDA approval, selected cataract surgeons across the country can utilize the LenSx laser and eliminate the need for a surgical blade. This “blade-free” laser approach to cataract surgery allows the surgeon to further improve the accuracy and predictability of the procedure, providing patients increased precision and faster healing time.

WHERE: The Lunch and Learn presentation will take place at Cascades Verdae, South Carolina’s largest retirement community, which is located at 10 Fountainview Terrace, Greenville, S.C. 29607.

WHEN: The event will take place on Thursday, January 26 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A light lunch will be served, and Dr. Parisi’s presentation will begin at noon.
