Alcon’s commitment to science-based innovation is demonstrated by support of research covering relevant topics. Musculoskeletal pain issues affect ophthalmic surgeons and can have an impact on surgeon well-being and productivity. † Existing data appear to indicate that heads-up displays (HUD) can improve upon conventional microscopes by reducing ergonomic stress. A recent publication found in…, provides further evidence that addresses the ergonomic benefits of HUD, to include the NGENUITY ® 3D Visualization System. This study, funded by Alcon, used an observational cross-sectional survey design to understand the use of HUD by US ophthalmic surgeons, and compared the ergonomic outcomes associated with HUD to a conventional optical microscope in the operating room (OR). Findings…, Clinical Ophthalmology, 2021:15 347–356. Link to article: https://www.dovepress.com/getfile.php?fileID=66109 © 2021 Alcon Inc. 02/21 US-NGU-2100008

A recent publication found in the, Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, provides further evidence that addresses the ability of digital visualization systems, specifically, the NGENUITY ® 3D Visualization System, to decrease light intensity and provide possibly faster postoperative visual recovery for cataract surgery patients. In this retrospective pilot study, patients were grouped into two visualization approaches: use of the standard operating microscope with…

Cataract extraction is the most prevalent surgical procedure, and for over 30 years, phacoemulsification techniques have helped it to become one of the safest and most predictable surgeries. Historically, due to technological limitations with phacoemulsification systems, operating at high intraocular pressure (IOP) was necessary to create and maintain a stable anterior chamber with efficient…

The Vivity® Registry Trial is a real-world clinical study involving more than 650 cataract subjects. The study has shown that the AcrySof IQ Vivity® IOL provides excellent distance and intermediate vision and functional near visual acuity results with high spectacle independence, subject satisfaction, and limited visual disturbances for the overall population. We also looked at mini-monovision,…
