American Academy of Ophthalmology & International Society of Refractive Surgeons
met in Atlanta in November, 2008. Here are short clips, primarily of TLS Surgeons who
participated this years annual gathering of eye surgeons from around the world.

Margueritte McDonald M.D., current president of the International Society of Refractive Surgeons of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, was the first surgeon
in the world to perform an excimer Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on a
human eye while she was at Louisana State Universtiy.. In this brief video
clip celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Excimer laser, she discusses
this important milestone in the development of laser vision correction.

Dr. Marguerite McDonald M.D., FACS, Long Island, recorded on November 10, 2008
at the 25th Anniversary of the Excimer Laser Symposium at the
American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Dr. Ronald Krueger from the Cleveland Clinic became interested in the development
of the excimer laser while he was a medical student and he started working with Dr. Steven Trokel. He has also been actively involved in the development of wavefront technology and co-authored one of the first books on that subject and helped
to start an annual WaveFront International meeting.

Dr. Salz and Dr. Waring are part of the video on the history of the
development of the excimer laser used for LASIK surgery

During the presbyopia symposium at the AAO meeting Dr. Vance Thompson
reviewed surgical options to correct presyopia and explained the improved depth of
focus concept (pin hole effect) of the new AcuFocus inlay under FDA study .

Dr. Holladay from Houston, reviewing surgical options for correction of presbyopia.

Dr. Davidorf from West Hills, CA lectured on the subject of the Synchrony dual

Ziemer femtosecond lasers for the creation of flaps used in "All Laser LASIK"

Dr. James Salz, Los Angeles, lecturing on "con" side of debate for refractive

Dr. James Salz about his impressions of the American Academy of
Ophthalmology Meeting in Atlanta.

of the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting and mentions in response
to the Richard Duffey Survey that he performed LASIK on his father.

Dr. Casimir Swinger discusses Dr. Richard Duffey's annual survey of the
International Society of Refractive Surgeons showing that many surgeons
have had refractive surgery on themselves or a family member.

Dr. Davidorf asked DR. Salz about his impressions of the
American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in Atlanta.

We would thank the surgeons who had a moment to comment and the many others who presented, exchanged views, -those furthering the science of eye care daily.
