Alcon
LenSx for LASIK
The new Alcon machine has a button
that says "flap," so to switch from laser
to LASIK, all you have to do is log out,
hit the button, log back in and wait
about 10 minutes. That's a great innovation and
one that I hope will pull more LASIK procedures
into surgery centers, which in my opinion are
the safest places for them. I like knowing that I
have an accredited OR that's following safety
guidelines and that an independent person has
verified that. This machine provides added
flexibility for a cataract and refractive sur-
geon.
Ellex
Integre ProScan
The company expects FDA
approval shortly for its pattern
photocoagulator, which it bills as
having a pattern and wavelength
for every pathology. Patterns can
be customized for shape, size and
rotation, and the touchscreen inter-
face allows for easy adjustments of
all treatment parameters. It's easy
to use, and by delivering up to 25 laser shots in half of a second, it
dramatically shortens what can be a long process. Hey, maybe I can
get rid of my retina guys.
