FORT WORTH, Texas, October 15, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcon (SIX/NYSE: ALC), the global leader in eye care dedicated to helping people see brilliantly, will showcase its latest clinical data and product innovations at the upcoming American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) 2024 annual meeting. Ophthalmologists, surgical staff, researchers, and industry leaders can visit Alcon at booth #4008 for hands-on demonstrations and engaging experiences.

"The heart of Alcon remains a relentless pursuit of improving outcomes and helping patients see brilliantly," said Jim Di Filippo, Vice President and General Manager of U.S. Surgical at Alcon. "Our vision extends beyond this; we are equally focused on efficiency, ensuring our innovations deliver quality and performance. From pioneering technologies like Voyager™ DSLT and UNIFEYE™ to our cloud-connected Alcon Vision Suite, we are dedicated to advancing ophthalmology and streamlining surgical workflows."

Alcon’s latest innovation for glaucoma therapy, the Voyager™ Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) device, will be available for demonstration. Recently, Alcon expanded its glaucoma portfolio with the Voyager™ DSLT (formerly the Belkin Eagle). Like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), DSLT therapy delivers laser energy to the trabecular meshwork. Voyager™ DSLT’s proprietary eye-tracking technology ensures an accurate, automated treatment delivery through the limbus. This eliminates the need for a gonio lens or manual aiming necessary to conduct SLT.12 Due to this patient- and physician-friendly design, precision treatment, and streamlined workflow, Voyager™ DSLT is poised to become a first-line treatment in glaucoma care.5

During AAO 2024, Alcon will introduce the UNIFEYE™ Gas Delivery System. With the introduction of UNIFEYE™, Alcon gives surgeons confidence in the gas-to-air mixture by integrating all components for gas delivery in one handheld device. Surgeons gain improved accuracy via a predictable, precise gas-to-air ratio that mitigates the risk of delivering an unintended gas-to-air mixture, as well as a simplified and streamlined setup, eliminating the manual attachment of gas cylinders and filters that have historically wasted time and gas. 1-5, 6,11**
