The new 3D image-guided, microsurgical technology improves the quality of LASIK and cataract surgeriesNASHVILLE, Tenn., July 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Ming Wang of Wang Vision Cataract & LASIK Center, Nashville, TN, became the first surgeon in the world to perform a 3D LASIK procedure, and the first in Tennessee to perform a 3D cataract surgery. The first such ground-breaking surgeries took place at Wang Vision Cataract & LASIK Center on May 27, 2011 and June 2, 2011, respectively. Both procedures utilized off-label uses of the TrueVision® 3D high-definition, real-time, stereoscopic microsurgical technology.
The world's first 3D LASIK patient was Mr. Farah Jai-Aden, a 28-year-old truck and taxi driver from Atlanta, GA. At his first post-operative visit, he could already see better than he ever had before, even with glasses or contact lenses! The state's first 3D cataract surgery patient was Mr. David Mehosky. Both Mr. Jai-Aden and Mr. Mehosky are very pleased with their new 3D vision!
"We are very excited to be the first in the world to perform the 3D LASIK procedure, and the first in Tennessee to perform a 3D cataract surgery," said Dr. Wang, who is a clinical associate professor of ophthalmology for the University of Tennessee and the director of Wang Vision Cataract & LASIK Center, Nashville, TN.
