  • Surgeon Meetings in Prague
    Thu, 07/21/2011 - 10:41

    Dr. Fisher recently travelled to Prague, in the Czech Republic. The purpose of his visit was to speak to a meeting of several hundred eye surgeons from across Europe. Dr. Fisher gave a series of talks on improving performance in cataract surgery with the used of new advanced technology intraocular lens implants (ATIOLs). Because of his experience with ATIOLs (also called Lifestyle Lenses), Dr. Fisher is frequently asked to address groups of eye surgeons and share his knowledge for using these new technologies successfully. “The meeting in Prague was excellent, with many very experienced surgeons from Europe in attendance,” according to Dr. Fisher. “There was a real interchange of knowledge that should benefit all of our patients, and it is always educational to see what our colleagues are doing elsewhere in the world.” Dr. Fisher also noted “Prague itself was beautiful. It is a very historic city with a lot to see and do. The people were very friendly and the weather was perfect.” Dr. Fisher was accompanied on the trip by his wife and their two children.
