At OCULUS Inc., we would like our customers to utilize their diagnostic instruments to the fullest capacity.

On Sunday morning, OCULUS hosted a breakfast seminar with Prof. Michael W. Belin, MD and Dr. Marguerite McDonald, MD. At the breakfast seminar, the clinical applications of the OCULUS Pentacam® for refractive and cataract surgery and OCULUS Keratograph 5M applications for Dry Eye diagnosis were discussed.

At the booth speakers’ corner, in addition to many interesting lectures about the OCULUS Pentacam®, Dr. Penny Asbell, M.D. introduced the concept of “The two minute Dry Eye exam with the Keratograph 5M” and emphasized the reasons to give special attention t the Dry Eye patients. Dr Cynthia Roberts, PhD. discussed “The Next Generation of Corneal Biomechanical Assessment” with the OCULUS Corvis ST*. To watch the recorded booth speakers lectures, please visit www.oculus.tv.
