Demonstrating bold innovation that advances the ophthalmology industry
Join us at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) to get a first-hand look at Alcon’s cutting-edge advancements that are transforming surgical workflows and empowering brilliant patient outcomes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see Alcon innovation that is shaping the future of ophthalmology across a spectrum of specialty areas including:
Demo VOYAGER™ DSLT and unlock first-line glaucoma care
Recently, Alcon expanded its glaucoma portfolio with the VOYAGER™ Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT). Like SLT, the DSLT therapy delivers laser energy to the trabecular meshwork. However, DSLT includes proprietary eye-tracking technology to ensure an accurate, automated treatment delivery through the limbus—eliminating the need for a gonio lens or manual aiming.19 Demo VOYAGER™ DSLT at AAO and experience first-line glaucoma care.
Demo UNIFEYE™, Alcon’s new Gas Delivery System
The new device offers retina specialists a safe, simpler, and less wasteful way to deliver gases for intraoperative tamponade.1-6
Gain new insights behind the world’s most implanted Presbyopia-Correcting EDOF and Trifocal IOLs18**
From Clareon® PanOptix®, which offers a full range of vision and exceptional clarity14,15, to Clareon® Vivity®, the first and only non-diffractive PCIOL approved by the FDA as an EDOF lens16,17, learn why the Clareon® IOL portfolio represents the latest advancement in a 20+ year history of continual innovation in IOLs.
Join the growing movement towards more Physiologic IOP during cataract surgery
Leading surgeons like Alison Early, MD, Dagny Zhu, MD, and Cristos Ifantides, MD among others are now performing cataract surgery at a more physiologic IOP using Alcon’s CENTURION® with ACTIVE SENTRY®. Discuss with an Alcon representative how to operate at significantly higher vacuum levels without compromising anterior chamber stability.7-12
Get hands-on with the HYDRUS® MICROSTENT
HYDRUS® MICROSTENT’s intuitive delivery system allows for a straightforward procedure with immediate visual confirmation of successful implantation. In the AAO Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Preferred Practice Pattern (PPP) guidelines, the HYDRUS® MICROSTENT received the highest rating among all MIGS.13* Get a hands-on demo and see for yourself what Ike Ahmed, MD describes as “The Hydrus Difference”.
