Alcon will emphasize several significant technology introductions now available across Europe:
Unity Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS) and Unity Cataract System (CS): Designed to enhance surgical efficiency, Unity delivers first-to-market innovations that transform both vitreoretinal and cataract procedures
Clareon Vivity IOL: Now commercially available in Europe, completing the Clareon Collection. Vivity is the world’s most implanted extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL, offering presbyopia correction with the visual disturbance profile of a monofocal
Voyager DSLT: The first and only Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty device, Voyager streamlines workflows and helps advance laser therapy as a first-line glaucoma treatment
Intelligent Service Solutions (ISS): A new global service platform featuring remote diagnostics, software updates, and a customer portal with comprehensive device dashboards, warranty details, and connectivity status
“With the launch of Unity VCS, the completion of our Clareon IOL portfolio, and expanding clinical evidence, we are equipping surgeons with a comprehensive, connected platform designed to streamline workflows and deliver exceptional outcomes for patients,” said Sunil Vasanth, Vice President, Surgical, Alcon Europe.
Alcon will present over 40 studies spanning cataract, refractive, vitreoretinal, and glaucoma surgery. Highlights include:
