hen Outpatient Surgery Magazine invited
me to walk the exhibit hall at the American
Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery
(ASCRS) Annual Meeting in San Diego,
Calif., in search of the latest product
advances for better surgical outcomes, I gladly accepted.
Every year, I enjoy attending ASCRS to catch a glimpse of
the state-of-the-art in our industry and, just as importantly,
what's to come. Cataract procedures are the most common
surgeries in America. While the vast majority of these sur-
geries are executed successfully, that certainly doesn't
mean we can't improve the vision, outcomes and quality of
life for our patients. Here are my impressions of some of
the many products that stood out on my tour of the floor
and can help your eye surgeons do just that.
