This microscope-free design is engineered to improve surgeons' posture. The easier it is for surgeons to perform these long, delicate surgeries, the better they can perform for our patients who count on us to provide them with the best possible care. The NGENUITY 3D Visualization System offers greater depth and detail views during surgery. This system provides surgeons with better visualization while operating on the back of the eye, which may improve patient outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The system is designed to facilitate collaboration and teaching in the operating room. Offering an immersive panoramic surgical view, the NGENUITY 3D Visualization System allows the operating team to see exactly what the surgeon is seeing in real-time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>April 2017<\/strong><br \/>\nDr. Davidson will participate in the 2017 Alcon Live Surgery: Innovation in Action in the live Broadcast from Fresno Surgical Hospital, on Saturday, May 6th, 2017.

Miramar physicians Joel Corwin MD, William Trotter MD, Wanda Hu MD, and Joseph Chen MD are enrolling patients in a study that will investigate a new method for glaucoma drug delivery. Bimatoprost SR is currently in phase 3 of FDA clinical trials and is the first major change in glaucoma drop delivery in over 10 years. This new method may potentially change the way we deliver care and increase medication effectiveness and patient compliance. To become a study patient, you will be asked a series of entry questions and will have to fulfill a number of study criteria. Once entered in the study, which is slated for one year with an additional year of follow-up, most costs of visits and medication are covered. We, the physicians at Miramar, are excited to advance glaucoma care and welcome your involvement.\"<\/p>\n<p>Submitted By Dr Trotter 02\/10\/2015<\/p>\n<p><strong>December 17, 2013<br \/>\nPress Release<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author and Miramar Eye Specialists Medical Group patient Mike Taylor features his life changing story on Newswire this week.

The LenSx Laser is a leap forward in cataract surgery. No pair of eyes are exactly the same which is why each eye needs to be precisely measured and mapped when getting evaluated for cataract surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The LenSx Laser offers an advanced way for surgeons to perform cataract surgery with laser precision. Traditional cataract procedures are done manually with a blade to make the incisions in the eye. The LenSx laser uses a computer guided laser to make the incisions allowing cataract surgery to be more precise and customizable than traditional methods. This allows each surgery to be as precise as possible<br \/>\n\"Lensx allows me to customize the cataract procedure to the individual's eye. The precision with the laser allows me to treat even small amounts of astigmatism and give the patient a greater chance of spectacle independence. Then, of course, there's the \"neat\" factor of doing the latest, blade less procedure we can offer these days!\" States Dr. William Trotter.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our patients have been delighted with the results they are seeing with LenSx. They selected a customized 3-dimensionally guided computer-controlled laser over a one-size-fits-all blade to perform delicate steps of the lens replacement surgery.\" Says high volume user Dr. John Davidson.<\/p>\n<p>Often, individuals believe that a cataract must be \u201cripe\u201d or in an advanced stage to be removed which is false. When a doctor sees signs of cataract and you experience symptoms, you should speak with your doctor about cataract removal so it doesn\u2019t interfere with your lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\"I was unsure about having cataract surgery due to my other medical issues. I did proceed with the LenSx laser and am so pleased with the outcome. It is much better than I expected. Dr. Davidson did a fantastic job\". Carolyn Holycross, Retired Optician.<\/p>\n<p>Westlake Eye Surgery Center was recently selected by Alcon Surgical to educate fellow ophthalmologists as the Tri-County Regional Training site for future LenSx users. For more information please contact 805-648-3085 to set up your cataract evaluation with one of our LenSx surgeons, Dr. John Davidson, Dr. John Fang, or Dr. William Trotter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>December 4, 2013<br \/>\nMiramar Eye Specialists Medical Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miramar Eye Specialists and Dr. Daniel Ebroon announce the arrival of JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC.<br \/>\n<strong>Recently the quest to look younger just got a big boost.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miramar Oculoplastic specialist Daniel Ebroon, M.D., is one of the first doctors in the United States to offer his patients JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC.
