My favorite part of the AAO has always been walking the exhibit hall floor to check out the new products and technologies that are available to help me improve my patient care and practice efforts. With the AAO not holding a live exhibit hall next month, the publisher of Ophthalmology Management 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 website link is included for a deeper dive into these product features. You will also receive an email of this Product Pavilion feature with direct links to these vendor and product websites.
I am constantly amazed at the innovation and breakthroughs taking place in our field, and I trust that you will feel the same as you read through this feature. 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, vendors!
