10:49 EDT Alcon presents data on SMART Solutions for cataract surgery - Alcon announced the presentation of key data at this year's American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting on its SMART Solutions for cataract surgery. SMARTCataract is the first application in Alcon's comprehensive cloud-based platform uniquely designed for surgical ophthalmic practices. The data shows significant time savings delivered during the cataract evaluation, planning process, operating room and postoperative workflow for cataract patients. SMARTCataract links data systems and most diagnostic devices, including ARGOS Biometer with Image Guidance, with cataract surgical equipment, including LenSx Femtosecond Laser and LuxOR Revalia Ophthalmic Microscope. Now, the SMARTCataract application also connects via the cloud to Alcon's Optiwave Refractive Analysis SYSTEM with VerifEye+, the only intraoperative aberrometer on the market. Alcon re-optimizes the ORA SYSTEM's AnalyzORTM database of over 2 million cases each quarter with additional real-world cases to help improve refractive outcomes over time. An Alcon-sponsored study demonstrates substantial time efficiencies through SMARTCataract's surgery planning and OR workflow capabilities. The study looked at the time taken and number of manual data entry transcription points for the devices in the clinic, OR, online intraocular lens power calculations as well as ORA integration. Time differences in the diagnostic workup, pre-operative planning, intraoperative preparation and post-op were calculated and compared between the traditional workflow and SMARTCataract.
