An integral part of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology has always been walking the exhibit hall floor to check out the new products and technologies that are available to help us improve patient care and practice. Because the AAO will not be holding a live exhibit hall this year, Retinal Physician has invited leading vendors to provide info and insight on their new product offerings. In this Product Pavilion section, you will find a broad display of the latest technologies that companies have recently brought to market. A link is included for a deeper dive into these companies and product features. You will also be receiving an email of this Product Pavilion feature with direct links to these vendor and product websites.
I am always amazed at the innovation and breakthroughs taking place in our field. Patient care usually begins with technology, and the following products are here to do just that — to help improve your patient outcomes and practice success. Thank you to our product vendors!
