As a consultant to ambulatory surgery centers, I've got a strong interest in new products that can be of use to my clients. Last March, I walked the exhibit hall at the 2006 meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery in San Francisco. The Moscone Convention Center played host to almost 300 exhibitors. From replaceable corneal inserts and a torsional phaco handpiece to a corneal biochemical property analyzer, here are a few of the products on display that caught my eye.
