Azar Eye Clinic is First to Implant Alcon PanOptix in Lafayette, LA and Acadiana

On September 24, 2019 Azar Eye Clinic in conjunction with the Laser and Surgery Center of Acadiana became the first facility in Lafayette, LA and Acadiana to implant the Alcon PanOptix Trifocal IOL. The surgery was performed by Dr. Edward Graul with excellent results. In the subsequent months all of our surgeons, including Dr. Fred Hall and Dr. Patrick Keating have implanted numerous Alcon PanOptix IOLs with very good outcomes.

The Alcon PanOptix IOL the only FDA approved Trifocal IOL available in America. An IOL is an artificial lens placed after a cataract is removed. The Alcon PanOptix IOL is an advanced trifocal IOL that provides clear vision at all distances (near, intermediate, and far) with little to no dependence on prescription glasses or reading glasses.

The PanOptix IOL has been available in Europe for over 4 years and delivered phenomenal vision for cataract patients. The U.S. FDA has *finally* approved this IOL for use in America and Azar Eye Clinic has the honor of being the first clinic in Lafayette, La and Acadiana to offer this IOL for our cataract surgery patients. At Azar Eye Clinic we pride ourselves on providing the best and most advanced technology for our patients. We offer Laser Cataract Surgery, bladeless LASIK, Eye Exams, Glasses, Contact Lenses, and more. Visit www.azareye.com or call today to schedule a consultation, (337) 235-7791.

 

Azar Eye Clinic Now Offering Xen Gel Stent for Glaucoma Patients

Azar Eye Clinic in Lafayette, LA is proud to offer the latest surgical technology for patients suffering from moderate to severe glaucoma.

The XEN® Gel Stent is a surgical implant designed to lower high eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma patients where previous surgical treatment has failed and/or medications alone were insufficient (also known as refractory glaucoma).

The XEN® Gel Stent is placed in your eye during a short, and stand-alone procedure. The XEN® Gel Stent creates a small channel in the eye to drain fluid and help lower eye pressure. The XEN® Gel Stent is tiny—about the length of an eyelash—and it’s placed just under the conjunctiva, which is a clear membrane that covers the white of your eye.

For patients with combined cataract and open-angle glaucoma, iStent reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by improving aqueous humor outflow. Please visit the the XEN® Gel Stent website for more information: https://www.xengelstent.com/XENGelStent

Azar Eye Clinic Now Offering iStent for Glaucoma Patients

Azar Eye Clinic in Lafayette, LA now offers the latest surgical advancements in Glaucoma Surgery for patients that also suffer from cataracts. iStent® is the first Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) device that improves your eye’s natural fluid outflow to safely lower eye pressure by creating a permanent opening in the trabecular meshwork.

iStent is the smallest medical device ever approved by the FDA. It is placed in your eye during cataract surgery and is so small that you won’t be able to see or feel it after the procedure is over. iStent is designed to create a permanent opening in your trabecular meshwork and works continuously to improve the outflow of fluid from your eyes to help control eye pressure.

For patients with combined cataract and open-angle glaucoma, iStent reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by improving aqueous humor outflow. Please visit the Glaukos website for more information: https://www.glaukos.com/istent-inject-procedure/
