Redding selected
to study lens implant
Dr. Marshall Redding, has been se
lected as a "principal investigator"
in a process to have a new and revo
luntionary "foldable lens" for im
plants approved by the U. S. Food
and Drug Administration for general
use.
The selection of Dr. Redding, who
founded the Albemarle Eye Care
Center in 1971, was made by a lead
ing world-wide supplier of lens im
plants on the basis of his extensive
experience in performing cataract
surgery by the "phacoemulsifica
tion" technique.
Dr. Redding explained the
"phaco" method as the use of a small
instrument that produces ultrasonic
vibrations to dissolve the cataract,
permitting the remaining particles to
be removed through a tiny incision
by vacuum. This allows the foldable
lens, made of soft silicon and can be
bent in half, to be inserted in the
small incision instead of having to en
large it to accommodate the hard
lens currently in use.
"For patients who would have an
intraocular lens implant to replace
the natural lens that is removed in
cataract surgery, the foldable lens
offers several distinct advantages,"
Or. Redding said. He cited these ad
vantages as "fewer wound sutures,
reduced risk of implant problems,
and faster healing and recovery."
Dr. Redding said the FDA has de
termined the feasibility of the folding
lens and approved it for investigative
use by the selected ophthalmologists.
Following further successful con
trolled clinical studies, the lens
should be approved for use by all eye
surgeons, he added.
Dr. Redding is a former president
of the North Carolina Ophthalmologi
cal Society and the North Carolina
Medical Society. He earned his medi
cal degree at Duke University and re
cently retired from the U. S. Naval
Reserve as a Captain. He served on
active duty as a Navy pilot and later
as a doctor at the Navy Hospital in
Long Beach, California and Philadel
phia.

New regulations
carry heavy fine
Could you stand a $25,000 fine?
That's the maximum per day penalty
for violation of the new federal Su
perfund regulations is the stringent
reporting requirements for facilities
and industries with respect to haz
ardous chemicals located on site.
Known as the Superfund Amend
ments and Reauthorization Act of
1967 (or SARA), the act provides for
community awareness with respect
to hazardous chemicals by requiring
industry facilities to file reports. Any
faciity having hazardous substances
in quantities equal to or greater than
the threshold planning quantities
must notify their local planning com
mittee and must designate their fa
cility emergency coordinator. The lo
cation and amounts of hazardous
chemicals in a facility must be mon
itored and made available to a State
Commission which has been ap
pointed by the Governor to carry out
the authority spelled out under the
Act.
All facility owners or operators
having hazardous substances on site
in the quantities listed are required
to report. The percentage of opera
tors reporting so far is rather small
and officials fear this is due to a lack
of awareness of the requirements. To
file required notice or to obtain addi
tional information operators may
contact the N. C. Division of Emer
gency Management at 1-800-451-1403.
Failure to meet filing requirements
is subject to fine up to $25,000 per day
under the Act. Prompt attention by
facility operators having hazardous
materials on site can prevent the
heavy fines being applied.
