Eye Surgery Center Celebrates 20 Years

The Hartford Hospital Eye Surgery Center in Newington marked its 20th Anniversary in 2018.

The Eye Surgery Center has become a regional leader in surgical eye care, offering the most advanced procedures to treat cataracts, glaucoma, corneal diseases, eyelid malfunctions and tumors, and certain retinal diseases. Over the last two decades, doctors have cared for nearly 200,000 patients at the Center.

The Center was the first to offer Femto-Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery — a minimally invasive, bladeless option that enhances precision during eye surgery.

The Center also offers the ORA/VerifEye and Verion systems, sophisticated technology that helps ophthalmologists more accurately select and place lens implants during cataract surgery — giving patients better eye sight immediately after their procedure.
