loading IOLs, eliminating infection risk and saving
time — about a minute per procedure. So far, only

• Optos has added California Ultra, a new imaging modal-
ity with indocyanine green angiography, to its tabletop
ultra-widefield retinal imaging system, as well as several
software and hardware enhancements, including ProView,
which helps track retinal disease progression over time.
• Bausch & Lomb's Victus Femtosecond Laser is a vivid
and versatile femto that lets surgeons perform capsulo-
tomies, fragmentation, arcuate incisions, corneal incisions
and LASIK flaps. Swept source optical coherence tomography
and an easy-to-use graphic interface provide high-contrast
visual guidance.
• The Cyclo G6 from Iridex uses Micropulse technology to
perform cyclophotocoagulation, which lets tissue cool
between pulses, thereby reducing tissue damage and other
complications. Patients are able to go to work the next day,
says the rep.
• Katena's new Double-X speculums feature a "double-X" mechanism
that opens lids in a parallel motion, so there's minimal external pres-
sure on the globe. Additionally, as the blades open, the mechanism
moves away from the surgical field, providing unobstructed access to
the field.
