2025 ASCRS ANNUAL MEETING

SYM-8 - Digital Visualization in Eye Surgery—Is it Time to Adopt?

About this Session

Session Moderator: John A. Hovanesian, MD, FACS
Panelists: Cathleen M. McCabe, MD; Inder P. Singh, MD; Eric D. Rosenberg, DO, MSE; Julie M Schallhorn, MD, ABO; Robert J. Weinstock, MD; Jennifer M. Loh, MD, ABO

Digital surgical microscopes have existed for years, but recent advances are now making them superior to traditional optical systems, including improved resolution and speed of image production, alternate light sources and image manipulation, and coupling with OCT. Real users of these systems will explain their benefits for ergonomics/physician retention, ease of view, reducing light toxicity, and future functionality across multiple form factors, including both panel- and head-mounted viewing platforms. Faculty will explore how to make the transition to digital visualization, and brief presentations by corporate sponsors will highlight the newest features. This session is non-CME.
