laser delivers precise pulses to his desired
locations. "There are several different types of
incision options available using the software,
though not all of our surgeons use all of the
options," she says. "They fine-tune treatment
for each patient."
Dr. Stephenson says she was drawn to sev-
eral key features in his laser cataract system
that make surgery more efficient. He believes
the system has "the best OCT for visualiza-
tion" and also appreciates its easy-to-use liq-
uid interface docking system.
The system's iris registration program also
lets surgeons take a pre-op image of the
topography of the eye in their office and wire-
lessly transmit it to the laser in the OR, notes
Dr. Stephenson. This is extremely helpful for
dealing with cyclotorsion, a natural move-
ment of the eye that occurs when a patient
moves from sitting up to lying down. "Let's
say you decide in the office you're going to
take the astigmatism at 90 degrees, or 12
o'clock. But when the patient lies down, that
12 o'clock becomes a 10 o'clock," she says.
"This program adjusts the incision according-
ly."
She also likes the system's cataract density-
imaging program, which gives the user more
choice in the fragmentation pattern used to
break up the cataract. "It's much more efficient
