Excimer Laser
SD Healthcare attended a two-day CME-approved laser refractive surgery course held at leading eye hospital Moorfields, to demonstrate the SCHWIND excimer laser. “Our courses for ophthalmic practitioners have been provided at Moorfields for over 25 years. Continued support from the private sector including SD Healthcare is essential in allowing us to run educational courses and to maintain our world-famous reputation as experts in the field,” said Bruce Allan MD, FRCS, consultant ophthalmic surgeon, at Moorfields. “With over half the ophthalmologists practising in the UK, and many more overseas, having received specialist training at Moorfields – we are the go-to place for treatment, teaching and research,” said Dr Allan. The two-day course covering all areas of refractive surgery – from the basics to femtosecond laser flap creation – saw SD Healthcare experts on hand to demonstrate the SCHWIND Amaris 750s excimer laser during the wet lab sessions. www.sdhealthcare.com
