cloud-based cataract planner, building on its leading image-guided
clinic to OR connectivity
- Attendees can experience digital, customer-centric
technologies and patient engagement tools at Alcon booth
#639

Alcon innovation across cataract, glaucoma, refractive and
retina
Alcon (SIX/NYSE: ALC), the global leader in eye care dedicated
to helping people see brilliantly, will continue to demonstrate the
company’s commitment to Eye Care Professionals and patients by
providing connected equipment ecosystems via its digital innovation
efforts at the upcoming American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO)
2023 annual meeting. Ophthalmologists, surgical staff, researchers,
and industry leaders will have the opportunity to experience
Alcon’s latest digital offerings and participate in additional
Alcon events during the conference. Alcon AAO event information and
registration is available at MyAlconatAAO.com.
With the full, U.S. commercial availability of SMARTCataract,
Alcon furthers its position as a leader in surgical
ophthalmology. SMARTCataract, the first application in Alcon’s
comprehensive cloud-based platform uniquely designed for surgical
ophthalmic practices, is rolling out to surgeons across the U.S.1-4
With SMARTCataract, ophthalmic practices have the opportunity for
seamless connectivity by linking data systems and diagnostic
devices, including the ARGOS® Biometer with Image Guidance, with
cataract surgical equipment, including LenSx® Femtosecond Laser and
LuxOR® Revalia™ Ophthalmic Microscope.
SMARTCataract has demonstrated significant time savings
delivered during the cataract evaluation, planning process,
operating room (OR) and postoperative (post-op) workflow for
cataract patients.5 Time savings with SMARTCataract has ranged from
4.3 mins versus traditional methods (for non-astigmatic
non-post-refractive patients) and 13.8 mins versus traditional
methods (for post-refractive patients).5 Positive surgeon feedback
has continued as the product has begun its official rollout.
“With SMARTCataract, my staff and I are spending less time on
manual data entry and surgical planning, ultimately helping us to
operate with greater efficiency than ever before,” said Eric
Jennings, MD at Woolfson Eye Institute.* “I use the platform to
seamlessly connect data across biometric instruments, cutting down
the time needed to transfer information from one piece of equipment
to the next. In doing so, it can remove the opportunity for
transcription error and allows us to operate with greater
confidence in our surgical outcomes for our patients.”
Alcon will further showcase its digital, customer-centric
technology at AAO. Demos at booth #639 will highlight the
connectivity of data systems, diagnostic devices and surgical
equipment that drive efficiencies. Conference attendees will have
the opportunity to:
- Experience cloud-based planning for cataract surgery, including
with 3D digital image guidance on the recently available NGENUITY®
1.5
- Participate in insertion demos using Alcon implantables,
including Hydrus® Microstent and Alcon intraocular lenses
(IOLs)
- Interact in a virtual, high-fidelity operating room environment
with Alcon Fidelis™ Virtual Reality (VR) Ophthalmic Surgical
Simulator, Alcon’s virtual reality ophthalmic surgical
simulator
- Experience Alcon Custom Pak® Designer, an easy-to-use and
efficient digital solution for ordering the market leader in
ophthalmic procedure packs
“From our extensive portfolio of world-class IOLs to our
cloud-connected offerings, we remain committed to advancing the
field of ophthalmology,” said Jim Di Filippo, Vice President and
General Manager of U.S. Surgical at Alcon. “Events like AAO are
important opportunities for us to showcase our latest innovation,
especially when it comes to our integrated ecosystem of connected
equipment, which is underpinned by the goals of improving practice
efficiency and patient outcomes.”
