He has established himself as a leader in his specialty by pioneering some of the most advanced cataract and implant techniques. He is actively involved in clinical research, bringing the latest technologies to his patients, sometimes well before these technologies are available to other surgeons.
He has authored numerous articles and textbook chapters about specialized cataract techniques and technologies and the management of complications. Dr. Cionni has designed special implants and surgical techniques to improve the surgical outcomes in patients with traumatic cataract and congenital lens subluxation, as found in many patients with Marfan syndrome. In addition, he teaches surgeons nationally and internationally about the use of these devices. Patients with these types of problems are referred to him from all over the world.
Jason J. Jones, MD is President and Medical Director of Jones Eye Clinic in Sioux City, Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College and received his MD from New York University School of Medicine. He completed his residency training at the John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, in 2003.
Dr. Jones specializes in advanced techniques of phacoemulsification, anterior segment reconstruction, implantation of the latest design IOLs, as well as other anterior segment surgeries.
