CLEO 2012 (Optical Society of America)
May 9, 2012 (San Jose, CA) 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...

A long-term perspective on this elective surgical procedure. I have had the privilege to help commercialize laser vision correction for nearly 2 decades, beginning with the excimer laser’s FDA clinical trials and the international experience of the early 1990s… Tags: Refractive surgery, Procedure, LASIK, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Laser Vision Correction, Cataract, Vision Correction, surgery, Experience, Vision Download the full article ...
Read MoreFuture Growth in LASIK: Understanding and Reaching Generation Y
Since its commercial introduction to the US in 1995, Laser Vision Correction has evolved significantly in terms of technology and technique. Today, refractive surgeons agree that the procedure now available to consumers, called the iLASIK™ procedure(the combination of the Advanced CustomVue® Procedure and the IntraLase® Method of flap creation), is far superior to the technology and technique used in the first years following the initial FDA approval… Tags: surgeons, Technology, Vision Correction, Vision, Laser Vision Correction, Refractive Surgeons, Procedure, LASIK, surgery,...

Why refractive surgeons must adopt a philosophy of continuous improvement. This past fiscal quarter, the refractive surgery industry in the US reached a milestone: 10 million eyes have now undergone laser vision correction since the first excimer lasers received FDA approval 1 decade ago. That’s 5 million Americans who are ambassadors for LASIK as well as for the new generation of refractive procedures available to surgeons and their patients… Tags: Refractive Procedures, Continuous Improvement, Industry, LASIK, refractive, Vision Correction, Patients, surgeons, Vision,...

Twenty years after laser vision correction was first performed, the technology utilized in the procedure today has improved dramatically to make the procedure (now known as “LASIK”) even safer and better than before. One of the key transitions currently underway in many markets is in how the corneal flap is created, moving from a “bladed” approach with traditional microkeratomes to an “all laser” approach utilizing the femtosecond laser as well as the excimer… Tags: laser, Procedure, Vision Correction, flap, Laser Vision Correction, traditional microkeratomes, Technology,...
