New Vision Correction Surgery Debuts In Madison

A Sauk City woman became the first person in the U.S. to undergo a revolutionary new vision-correction surgery in Madison on Tuesday.

The surgery involves a newly approved, second-generation optical implant that provides clear vision. The implant was given the thumps up by the FDA only a couple of weeks ago.

The surgery could provide hope for those of us who are not candidates for laser-vision correction, WISC-TV reported.

Before Tuesday's 20-minute-long procedure, patient Amy Breunig said that she viewed the surgery preparations -- even the dilating eye drops -- as a sight for sore eyes.
