Bausch + Lomb Announces New Scientific Data, Educational Events at ESCRS

Bausch + Lomb will present new scientific data and educational events at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ESCRS) annual meeting in Barcelona, Spain, September 6-10.

Scientific posters and papers will highlight the results of studies evaluating Bausch + Lomb Surgical technologies including Technolas Teneo 317 Model 2, premium IOLs such as the IC-8 Apthera, and the Minimally Invasive Nasal Trabeculostomy (MINT) device. Sponsored educational events will focus on these and other Bausch + Lomb products.

At the Bausch + Lomb exhibit booth (Hall 7, D-35), the company will feature several additional new surgical offerings. These include the newly CE Marked Octavius Customized Corneal Treatment, a premium procedure performed on the Teneo Excimer Laser that utilizes the patient’s individual topography data to provide a customized corneal treatment approach; and ScoutPro, a point-of-care portable device for precisely measuring osmolarity.
