Eyewire Today announces Sightpath Medical reaching milestone of 25,000 mobile laser cataract procedures. Sightpath Medical first began providing its mobile femtosecond lasers for cataract surgery service in early 2013. The service suite, called MoFe, includes a femtosecond laser, a certified laser engineer, certification coordination, ongoing clinical support and access to Sightpath’s customer resources for implementation assistance.
