WAVEFRONT DIAGNOSTICS FORUM | PART 1: How does data from Angles Alpha & Kappa, Corneal SA, Coma, pupil size, and Corneal vs. Lenticular Astigmatism improve your premium IOL selections and outcomes? 800-874-5274 | marco.com OPD-SCAN III Integrated Wavefront with IOL Selection Diagnostics A LIVE SYMPOSIUM DISCUSSING THE BENEFITS DERIVED FROM INTEGRATED WAVEFRONT TECHNOLOGY TO VIEW THE POWER FORUM III: PART 1 LINK: https://vimeo.com/261142173 ▲ The OPD-Scan III really highlights patients with abnormal corneas or irregular astigmatism. Not only can you determine who's a great candidate for these more advanced technologies and lens implants, you can also very quickly assess who may not be the best candidate…perhaps of greater importance. Neda Shamie, MD Maloney Vision Institute, CA The OPD-Scan III, effi ciently delivers essential data. In determining use of a multi-focal or an extended depth of focus vs. an accommodating lens implant for the premium IOLs… having the angle kappa and angle alpha information determines if those lenses will be well tolerated. In less than a minute this data helps me to objectively select the best IOL for my patients. Mitch Jackson, MD Jackson Eye, IL The OPD maps are easily understood and powerful teaching tools for patients. Unless patients understand why they may need to pay out of pocket, they're not willing to do so. But, when they see their astigmatism as a bowtie on the axial map or see their glare as a point spread function, they accept my recommendations. Cynthia Matossian, MD Matossian Eye Associates, NJ I value having the OPD data before I enter every consultation. Many practices like to have a biometry day after they've already done the consult, but for me, it streamlines my practice because the data allows me to know immediately what I'll be able to offer that patient without wasting time discussing unavailable options. Toby Tyson, MD Tyson Eye, FL One of the best things about the EPIC and OPD is having that data sync into any lane or offi ce. We're able to immediately see everything and show patients what's good or bad, and why we prescribe certain lenses. It's not that diffi cult to explain when you can show patients pictures that support your recommendations. Larry Patterson, MD Eye Centers of Tennessee
