7. Ocular Therapeutics /
ReSure Sealant
Corneal incisions are usually self-
sealing, so we do what we can to
avoid suturing. It's not comfort-
able for the patient, who has to
return for removal, and it can
affect our astigmatism correction
outcomes. But if we need to
ensure closure to prevent leak-
age, this first-of-its-kind ocular
surgical glue looks like a safer,
easier, more effective method
than sutures. It sloughs off with
tears in about a week. A 5-unit
box of ReSure sealant lists for
$500; a 10-unit box, $900.
8. SurgiLum / Robo-Marker
There's no end of surgical instru-
ments that have been designed to
make our techniques more con-
sistent and efficient. Still, the
Robo-Marker is a clever innova-
tion for cornea-marking accuracy.
You rotate the indicator dial to
the desired axis, and a gravity-
based self-leveling system keeps
the marking tip there, no matter
how you're holding the device.
