Speaking | “Femtosecond Technology Comes of Age in Ophthalmology”
 

During the past decade, the femtosecond laser has emerged to become widely used in refractive surgery.  This process began with LASIK and now continues with cataract surgery, the two most widely performed surgical procedures (elective surgery and traditional surgery, respectively) in the US and likely worldwide.  This talk will review the history of commercialization of this technology.

Panel Description:

The introduction of femtosecond lasers to improve vision has revolutionized refractive correction. At first, the laser was only being used to create the flap for LASIK.  However, present systems cut the flap and perform the refractive correction. The most exciting development this year is the FDA approval of femtosecond lasers capable in aiding the treatment of cataracts, which requires much deeper incisions. This session will host the pioneers that have made these advances possible, discuss needed technological improvements and provide a sense of future innovations.
