consideration for every eye surgeon is optics, and we wanted to differ-
entiate ourselves from other facilities by offering high-end surgical
scopes. Our new scopes have improved optics and different types of
illumination. Two also feature intraoperative computer-assistance
technology that helps surgeons pinpoint the zero axis of the eye and
position toric IOLs with tremendous accuracy. For our retinal OR, one
of our scopes features integrated optical coherence tomography, a
diagnostic tool that provides a cross-sectional view of the retina and
also has application in corneal procedures.
Planning for zero infections
We worked with an experienced ASC architect and mechanical engi-
neers to make sure our HVAC system was top of the line. In fact, we
installed the type of
laminar flow system
you'd typically find in
hospital ORs. It's a
sophisticated comput-
er-driven system that
can be managed seg-
mentally throughout
the facility, so we
have almost absolute
control over every
room. If I'm out of
town at a conference
and someone calls me
to say that OR 6 is too
warm, I can change it
remotely and make it
