Bausch + Lomb to Present New Scientific Data and Analyses at American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting

Bausch + Lomb announced three podium presentations and seven poster presentations during the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting, which will take place in San Francisco Nov. 3-6, 2023.

Three podium presentations will feature an evaluation of the use of IC-8 Apthera IOL in patients with complex cases as well as an analysis of data on the Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring in Ocular MicRooganisms (ARMOR) surveillance study, which evaluates trends in antibiotic resistance among common ocular bacterial pathogens across the United States. The poster presentations will also highlight ARMOR study results, as well as the results of studies evaluating IC-8 Apthera IOL, Xipere (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) 40 mg/mL and newly launched Miebo.

Six company-sponsored educational events will focus on these and other Bausch + Lomb products, including the new enVista Aspire IOL.
