Innovations in Astigmatism Management: Long-term Stability of Arcuate Incisions

Show Description +

In this episode of Innovation Journal Club, I. Paul Singh, MD, interviews Denise Visco, MD, MBA, about using the LENSAR ALLY femtosecond laser for making arcuate incisions for astigmatism correction during cataract surgery. Dr. Visco emphasizes the importance of precision, axis alignment, and incision consistency. She also shares long-term data demonstrating the stability and effectiveness of these incisions over 2 to 3 years.
