WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser

Alcon introduced its latest innovation in LASIK surgery technology, the WaveLight® EX500 excimer laser, during the 2012 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ASCRS) annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois. This is the first refractive surgery innovation that Alcon has unveiled since its merger with Novartis in April 2011. 'When Novartis acquired Alcon in 2011, we committed that our combined strength would provide additional benefits to our customers and their patients, delivering better services and bringing innovation to the market faster,' said Stuart Raetzman, area president, Alcon US. 'The new WaveLight EX500 excimer laser is the first refractive surgery innovation to be offered by the new Alcon. It provides enhanced customisation for our customers – saving time and delivering excellent refractive outcomes.'
