Dr. Carter helped change 100 lives in 100 minutes

Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas

 

DALLAS, TEXAS In just 100 minutes on April 9, 2008 the lives of 100 low-income people in cities and towns across the country were changed forever as their failing eyesight went from murky to new-found clarity at all distances with Crystalens® cataract-lens implants free of charge. This monumental event commemorated the 100,000th Crystalens implantation.

 

Dr. Harvey L. Carter III of the Carter Eye Center in Dallas was among a select group of ophthalmologists nationwide participating in this unique program Changing 100 Lives in 100 Minutes which not only dramatically improved patients eyesight, but also means many of them may never need eyeglasses again. During the April 9 event, Dr. Carter performed the Crystalens procedure on Gwen, a 49-year-old single mother, who raised her daughter alone since birth. Gwen had developed cataracts earlier in life than most people and rapid worsening of her cataracts greatly hindered her personal life and her career in telesales. Dr. Stuart Cumming, inventor of the Crystalens® and Dr. Carter's 1st Crystalens patient, Ernie Davenport, were also kind enough to join Dr. Carter for this special event.

 

Dr. Carter performed the Crystalens procedure on legendary NFL sportscaster, Pat Summerall, in 2005. Summerall also joined Bausch & Lomb and Dr. Carter in celebrating the 100 Lives Crystalens procedure.

• Dr. Carter was the first surgeon to implant the FDA approved Crystalens in 2003.
• He remains the worlds leading implanter of the Crystalens, the fastest growing vision correction procedure in the U.S. today.
• Some believe Crystalens will eventually replace LASIK for almost everyone over 40.
• If you are over 40 and all you have been offered is LASIK or have been told you are not a candidate for vision correction, call Carter Eye Center today for a second opinion.
• Crystalens is specifically designed to help over-40 eyes focus at any distance naturally.
• Like LASIK, Crystalens can correct your vision. The Crystalens implant mimics the eyes natural ability to focus, allowing you to see near, far and all distances in between without the hassle of glasses, contacts OR reading glasses.
• As we age, the natural lens in our eyes ages, discolors, and eventually develops Cataracts. The Crystalens procedure can remove the cataracts and correct your vision all at the same time, resulting in clearer, brighter vision at all distances.
• Crystalens replaces that natural lens and you'll never have to worry about developing cataracts.
