“Healthy Vision for a Lifetime” ASU Workshop By Dr. Dennis Kilpatrick

On Wednesday October 14th, 2013, Dr. Dennis spoke to Arizona State University faculty and staff about beneficial eye health habits. He covered many topics including: his personal history in the eye care industry, the different vision complications that can arise later in life, and the importance of regular eye exams. The hour-long ASU workshop also included an open question-and-answer, in which Dr. Dennis answered many questions regarding the advanced techniques he uses in cataract surgery. Dr. Dennis detailed cataract surgery techniques such as topical anesthetic, femtosecond laser usage, Optiwave Refractive Analysis (commonly referred to as “ORA”), and the various benefits of intraocular lenses (specifically how Multifocal and Toric lenses may reduce the dependence on glasses for distance and/or near vision).
