While attending the ACOS WINTER MEETING in Aspen, Sightpath MoFe customer Bill Wiley, MD, sat down with Robert Weinstock, MD, to discuss the features they like best of each femtosecond laser platform. Drs. Wiley and Weinstock have had experience with the LenSx Laser (Alcon), VICTUS (Bausch + Lomb), Catalys (AMO), and LENSAR Laser (LENSAR), as well as the corneal incisions with the IntraLase FS Laser (AMO). Finally, both doctors point out the features they like best in each platform and game-changing enhancements that would make the ideal laser such as integrated pre- and intraoperative data.
The femtosecond laser in not limited to treating simple cataracts. Posterior polar cataracts, white cataracts, post-graft cataracts, and even small pupil cases may be tackled, says Sightpath customer Dr. Rich Davidson from Denver, CO.
There’s an old saying about the back nine handshake closing new deals. But not all business off-site takes place on the golf course. As those of us who travel for business purposes know, one of the biggest advantages to being on the road with members of your team and your customers is the downtime you get to spend together. Whether breaking bread, golfing or climbing a mountain, as the case may be, enjoying each others’ company out of context helps to establish a stronger partnership when business returns to usual.
This week, the third class of Sightpath University MoFe Engineers reported for training and orientation to our facility in Tennessee.
Over the next several weeks, our new engineers will be learning from our clinical applications specialists and senior engineers as well as other members of our operations team, management and manufacturer trainers to learn the ins-and-outs of operating and maintaining the equipment and transporting it safely.
This class of Sightpath University MoFe Engineers will graduate on March 6th, bringing the total to 11 engineers who have completed the program. After graduation, the group will spend several additional weeks in the field in on-the-job training, shadowing experienced engineers in actual case-day situations.
From seeing more patients to resolving partner conflicts quickly, these steps can help you cope with the new normal.
For practices with a high profit margin, losing a single contract, an important referral source or a key staffer is quite survivable. This is not the case with practices in the lower profit margins pertaining to their practice. Today, practices with these lower profit margins are often having to file bankruptcy.
Lori Landrio, OD, of Merrick, NY, describes her co-management relationship full scale between her practice and Dr. Donnenfeld.

She looks for good communication that enhances the quality of care for her patients when choosing an MD to co-manage with.
