DEFINING FUNDAMENTAL VALUES FOR CATARACT SURGERY
AL-Scan has made my practice more
efficient and given us additional
capabilities. We no longer send out -
we do everything in-house. AL-Scan's
compact design was perfect for our
offices here in Manhattan. Nidek's reputation as
one of the best manufacturers was a big factor
in our decision.
