At the Cottage Eye and Laser Center, a microsurgical video camera
system allows the entire surgical team to see exactly what the
surgeon is seeing. This monitoring system allows the team to anticipate
the surgeon's needs at every moment during the procedure. Such
a video system also documents the surgery, providing invaluable
information for managing the care of each patient. |
