John Aumann – A biography

Jon Aumann, one of Geek Squad’s most-accomplished special agents, has been fascinated by computers for most of his life. The inner workings of complex machines have always interested Jon and driven him to understand what allows them to endure and operate as efficiently (and sometimes not so efficiently) as they do. His curiosity directed him, from an early age, to constantly take things apart, though admittedly taking things apart proved easier than putting them back together. Jon recalled that his desire to understand how computers work expanded when he bought his first computer: he learned that the computer was not simply one giant operating system but a network of systems performing multiple tasks at the same time. Jon began tinkering with computers alongside friends in high school during impromptu sessions in which they would do everything from setting up firewalled corporate networks to creating a LAN (local area network) to play games. He became involved with the computer-repair industry through an internship as an assistant network administrator. In addition to basic repairs, his primary intern duties centered on network-administration setup and helping maintain a large-scale network. Frequently, the computers he was working on were older models than he was used to, so he had to familiarize himself quickly with the systems he was given to correct. This training was essential to Jon’s development as a computer technician because it gave him to know-how to fix any computer no matter its make, model, or age.

The most memorable moments on the job for Jon revolve around his interactions with his clients, especially those who have very little experience with computers. One particularly memorable client had never operated a computer before she met Jon. By the time he was finished, she felt comfortable with the basic operations and had even mastered using her webcam to view pictures of her great-grandson from across the country. “It’s the best feeling in the world when I can give someone a practical, everyday use for their computer and make them truly enjoy it,” John said.

Though technology positions are widely characterized as purely mechanical and isolated in nature, John’s advice to those interested in computer repair is to learn to love communicating with others. He believes that too many clients have encountered inattentive and anti-social computer professionals who simply don’t understand that customers are already frustrated when they walk through the door. John revealed that, “Fixing the computer is only part of my job. Equally important is making the client feel like a part of the process and having them come away with positive experiences. My job is not just technical, and in fact, people skills are a large part of what I do everyday.”

Currently a junior at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, where he is studying computer engineering, John began his professional career working part-time for Geek Squad. Though initially he viewed his job at Geek Squad as simply a temporary college gig, he has developed it into a full career path, moving from part-time in-store technician to full-time in-home technician. He said that, “Working for the Geek Squad allows me multiple career possibilities within Geek Squad itself and with our parent company, Best Buy. Once I get my degree, I hope to continue towards a master’s degree while maintaining various certifications.” John envisions his future to be at Geek Squad Corporate, where he plans to provide support for agents around the world.

Current Automotive batteries take hours to recharge an don’t last. They were great in the 1940′s, but just don’t cut it for our newer, more battery intensive automotive applications. I interviewed Alan J. Gotcher Ph.D, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the leader in a whole new standard for rechargeable batteries. [Listen Here to the Interview]

Altairnano, Inc., the leaders in innovative battery technology, have created a rechargeable, nano-titanate battery system that provides fundamental advantages over existing, traditional lithium ion batteries. With a very fast charge, long life, high power, an extremely wide operating temperature range, and inherently safe, Altair’s lithium titanate batteries are cost effective with prices similar to that of other rechargeable batteries.

• Altair’s lithium titanate batteries are rechargeable in a few minutes, versus hours required for other rechargeable batteries.

• Altairnano’s batteries do not explode or exhibit thermal runaway. These thermally stable batteries are well suited for hostile environments.

• Altairnano batteries can operate at temperatures as low as –50°C and as high as +75°C, with no unsafe characteristics

• With instantaneous power even at very cold temperatures, Altair’s lithium titanate batteries deliver power per unit weight and unit volume several times that of conventional lithium ion batteries. Altairnano laboratory measurements indicate power density as high as 4000 W/Kg and over 5000W/litre.

Phoenix Motorcars, Lightning Car Company, Micro-Vett and many others are leveraging this technology.

This is the #1 event on the calendar for thousands of youth from high schools around the United States. This weekend, Manchester New Hampshire is hosting the area’s regional FIRST competition at the Verizon Wireless Arena. More than three dozen teams comprised of hundreds of high school-aged students will be competing for a half dozen prizes by entering their self-designed and built robots into a two-part competition.

This year’s game, called “Overdrive”, will pit co-operative alliances of competitors against other alliances in a multi-faceted race around the track. More details can be found on the game’s website.

After seeing how the fields of science and technology were beginning to dwindle here in the US, yet sports were encouraged and celebrated by almost everyone throughout society, FIRST was founded to help inspire our youth’s participation in what may be the most important fields within our country.

This weekend I will be broadcasting live from the event, interviewing participants, organizers, coaches, sponsors and even doing live play-by-plays. Encourage your friends and families to listen on-the-air or on-line. The entire event will be broadcast on the Internet at http://wgiram.com and over-the-air on AM 930 and AM 1540 in Northern Mass and Southern New Hampshire from 1pm through the end of the competition. Part of the game will also be broadcast on AM 610 as well.

I hope to see you there!

What is the RejuvaWand™ Skincare System? How does it work?

The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is the first home-use, light-based skincare system to use both red and infrared light to reduce the signs of aging. The restorative red and infrared light that emits from the wand penetrates the skin’s surface and stimulates new cell production and blood flow. Restorative light therapy helps to reverse the signs of aging and leads to a healthy and younger looking appearance, proponents say. The RejuvaWand also went through rigorous clinical tests and is “the nexus of skincare, healthcare and technology.”

As we age, the cells that manufacture collagen and elastin – your skin’s support system – begin to slow down. Sun exposure accelerates this process and produces a damaging chemical imbalance under the surface of your skin. The RejuvaWand^TM Skincare System from Light Dimensions uses a totally natural approach to reverse the damaging effects of aging and sun exposure. The system combines relaxing massage and light to help invigorate the body’s own natural restorative processes, and counteract the effects of aging.

Some anti-aging treatments, like chemical peels and laser resurfacing, essentially cause damage to the skin, tapping the body’s natural healing processes to produce desired results. The RejuvaWand process is healthier. It stimulates your skin’s natural healing agents and triggers revitalization through a combination of invigorating massage and unique wavelengths of light.

Light from the RejuvaWand permeates the top layers of the skin, telling your cells to produce more energy (scientifically referred to as Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP) thereby jumpstarting the fuel these cells need during the repair and rejuvenation process. ATP also helps your cells absorb nutrients faster and more effectively.

Independent laboratory studies have shown that increased ATP can help reverse the effects on aging skin. The powerful cellular energy boosts collagen levels, smoothes the skin’s appearance, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and activates key healing properties. The RejuvaWand’s addition of Rejuva^TM Vibe gentle massage increases blood circulation under your skin, which ultimately increases the flow of nutrients and carries away dead and damaged cells.

Medical Grade Light Therapy

RejuvaWand technology is based on unique high power light emitting diodes (LEDs), which have been proven in independent research to safely deliver powerful cosmetic, hygienic and therapeutic benefits. Even the NASA space program has shown that LED light therapy promotes wound healing and human tissue growth. In addition, the RejuvaWand Skincare System is painless with absolutely no downtime due to redness or swelling of skin.

Rejuva Vibe Restorative Massage

Therapeutic massage helps to relieve muscle pain, increase circulation and has been a cornerstone of physical therapy for centuries. The RejuvaWand harnesses this traditional healing process by using a type of massage called selective harmonic vibration (SHV), or Rejuva Vibe, which promotes increased blood circulation and healing, and increases the formation of new capillaries. Healthy blood vessels replace damaged ones and speed your skin’s rejuvenation process.

Does the treatment hurt? Will the LED lights burn or cut my skin?

No. The RejuvaWand™ Skincare System is non-invasive, which means it works without cutting into the skin.The LED lights are approved for home use and will not burn or damage your skin. RejuvaWand Treatments are extremely comfortable, safe and also relaxing.

What is the difference between The RejuvaWand Skincare System and a laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment at the doctor’s office?

The RejuvaWand Skincare System uses low-level light energy to stimulate your body’s own natural rejuvenation process, which improves your skin’s condition in a non-irritating and non-invasive way. There is no redness, swelling or downtime with the RejuvaWand Skincare System. Office-based treatments, such as Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems, achieve their effects by causing damage to the skin, which in turn promotes a healing process. These treatments are also very expensive and often require multiple visits. The RejuvaWand can be used in the privacy of your own home and costs much less than office-based laser and IPL treatments.

How is the RejuvaWand Skincare System different from other light-based skin therapy products?The RejuvaWand personal care appliance offers a number of important advantages over other light-based therapy products.

• Light Sources -Unlike competing products, you can choose from two restorative light sources that emit from the RejuvaWand. The visible red light penetrates directly below the skin’s surface, which jumpstarts cell rejuvenation and makes the skin healthier and younger looking. Infrared light penetrates more deeply to further the rejuvenation process. The light sources are used on alternating days to deliver optimal results.

• Power Output -Other home-based light therapy skin treatment systems emit light at a much lower output level than the RejuvaWand. In fact, the RejuvaWand emits its two therapeutic lights at a level that is more than 20 times other products’ on the market. This ensures the deepest light penetration into the skin and optimal results.

• Emitting Area -The light emission area on the RejuvaWand is over 10 times larger than other products. This design was incorporated for more effective treatment of larger surface areas. and targeted delivery of more light into the skin.

• Rejuva Vibe -The RejuvaWand is the only restorative light therapy product to incorporate Rejuva™ Vibe relaxing and healing massage as a key element in the skin rejuvenation process. Rejuva Vibe relaxes uneven surface areas in the skin to help flatten wrinkles and better target restorative light penetration. This relaxing massage also helps to promote the development of new capillaries, which increases blood circulation and the removal of dead and damaged cells, leaving the skin younger and healthier looking.

• Light Diffuser -The RejuvaWand diffuses and randomly distributes the red and infrared lights into the skin. This helps to ensure that the restorative light covers the entire treatment area.

Is The RejuvaWand dangerous to use around my eyes?

No. The RejuvaWand Skincare System was designed so that its treatment light will not harm your eyes and is only emitted when in contact with or in close proximity to your skin. Even if you accidentally look directly into the light being emitted during the treatment, your eyes will not be harmed. Regardless of the inherent safety features, directions should always be followed and warning labels should always be read.

Are there any negative side effects from using The RejuvaWand skincare system?

The RejuvaWand has been clinically tested by Dermatologists and negative side effects from its use were not reported. In more than 30 years of ongoing clinical tests, trials and studies, there have been no reported short- or long-term negative side effects from similar light treatments.

How long does the RejuvaWand need to be used before I see results?

Results depend on many variables including your age, amount of photo-damage from sun exposure, adherence to instructions, proper and consistent use of the recommended Rejuva three step skincare program, etc. With consistent and proper treatment visible changes in your skin’s appearance should be noticeable in 30 days or less. The changes are gradual so it is always advisable to take close up photographs of the area being treated before treatment and then compare them to photos taken after 30 days of using the RejuvaWand Skincare System.
How often do I need to use the RejuvaWand Skincare System?

For best results, the RejuvaWand Skincare System should be used once a day, in the morning or at nighttime, on each area that is being treated for the preprogrammed amount of time.

Can I use the RejuvaWand Skincare System in conjunction with other treatments like dermabrasion?
Yes. In fact, the combined treatment with dermabrasion or other forms of exfoliation may have very positive effects. Dermatologists have commented on the benefits of using the RejuvaWand on a daily basis between office-based treatments. Consult with your treatment dermatologist or aesthetician about the nature of a specific treatment and the possible effects of combining them with daily RejuvaWand usage.

Eve truly has a gift, a talent, for helping women find their inner spirit and then match it with their outer appearance.

What’s appropriate for any age and what’s not

Eve Shares her 7 tips with us:

LIVE LIFE WITH THE ENTHUSIASM OF A CHILD

• What happened to your excitement and sense of wonder? When did life become so dreary?
• Did growing up have to mean growing old in attitude?
• How did this sneak up on us without our even noticing? As we became more sophisticated so did our toys. But even the toys stopped delighting us.
• What good is a new dress with an old attitude? If you want to look young you have got to feel young. Young at heart. Find the child inside of you. You will be delighted with the adventure of life.

CHANGE HOW YOU THINK ABOUT AGING

• The most important thing you can do to start getting your “WOW” back is to change the way you think about aging. Healthy and positive aging is possible.
• Most women were raised to believe that certain depressing things would happen to our bodies as we age, especially after having children. Even worse, we were taught that our personal worth would diminish with each year we live.
• Nowadays, 50 is the new 30. I know. I am 53 years old and loving it.
• At least twice a day affirm from the heart saying “I am growing younger, better, happier, healthier, wealthier and more full of life.”
• Say it with feeling and total faith. Say it out loud during your daily prayers.
• Think it as you drive, do chores, whenever. Remember that what you think about is what you’ll become. Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! You’ll be a happier woman believing that you are getting better all of the time.

FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY

• Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.
• It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it’s not possible to have WOW!

FIND YOUR INNER SELF AND INDULGE DAILY WITH JOY

• Whatever it is that really regenerates you, do it. Balance is the key.
• It is vital to take some time for yourself so you remain a whole and balanced person. When you live only for others it’s not possible to have WOW!
• Someone who has WOW! has a fountain of personal energy and vitality. They’re interesting. They have an endless source of love to tap into.
• Everything can’t be about the kids. If it’s all about others you lose your self. And your children don’t need the guilt of being the entire universe to you. They respect your having your own needs and filling them.
• You have to be a complete person in order to have a great relationship with someone else and that includes your kids.
• You started off by being yourself and then attracting another. Then you had children and may have lost who you are and forgot about your marriage.
• If this happens to you, what kind of life will you be offering your children?
• Your spouse and your children will appreciate a mom who nurtures all sides of herself and teaches them to do the same.
• Mom is a person first and foremost, then a mate and a mom. All three sides must be tended to.
• Indulge yourself each day � even if it’s only for a few minutes. Nurture your spirit and individuality. Enhance your mind. This is an important source of your WOW!

REVEL IN YOUR SENSUALITY

• When you are young, you have a strong sex drive which motivates much of your behavior. It also is responsible for attracting your significant other. In fact, chances are that you would not be a mom at all if you were not a sexual person.
• We are all sensual beings. We can’t deny that part of ourselves. Sexual energy is the driving force behind all of creation. In Eastern philosophies, it is a well-accepted fact that the creative chakra (center) of our bodies is also the sex chakra.
• As moms, we can’t go through life doing one task after another without any time to nurture our own physical needs. Your significant other wants the person they fell in love with. When you were dating, didn’t you make him a priority? Make him feel important? Loved being intimate with him? Well, just because you had children doesn’t mean that all that must stop.
• The parents’ love for one another is the foundation of the home.

FOSTER AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

• It is only from a sense of gratitude and joy that we create more good things in our life. That is because positive attracts positive. So if you want more goodness, focus on goodness.
• Nothing fades anger and sadness quicker than shifting our attitude to thoughts of gratitude.
• When you are feeling good, remember to tell your face. It shows what you think.
• No amount of makeup or surgery will make your face look joyous and stress free. Only you can do that.
• Renowned facialist Vera Brown always said, “By 30 you have the face you’ve earned and by 50 you have the face you deserve”
• Change your attitude and do an about face! All puns intended.

UPDATE YOUR LOOK WITH AN IMAGE MAKEOVER

• If your computer software is more current than your hairdo, you might be in a rut. You’re ready for an image makeover.
• REJUVENATE YOUR BODY – LOOKING YOUNGER
• The physical is an affirmation of the mental and spiritual. You live in a physical world. So take good care of the vehicle that carries you around this planet.
• We do not need to grow old, weak, flabby, and ill. Wellness, strength, stamina, good energy is our natural state. Do what it takes daily to nurture your body. Be good to it and it will be good to you.
• Don’t get caught in your own time warp. You wouldn’t expect a 10 year-old computer program to serve your needs, so why expect that an outdated style will.
• You need to learn what flatters your best features and accentuate them. Make the trends work for your body, shape and coloring.
• Part of being modern is accurately communicating who you are. You don’t have to try to look twenty. But you must keep up with the trends. Your children will love it.
• Your makeup should be updated every spring and fall. Your hairstyle needs to change at least every 2 years. Update your clothing on a seasonal basis.
• On a budget? Just add a couple of key pieces, change the way you wear what you have, and keep your hair and makeup current.
• We have a responsibility to stay in the fashion groove. If we look like a dinosaur, people will treat us like one.
• People are not born “out of style”. They get that way when they stop putting effort into their appearance.
• It’s often fear that stops us from changing. Fear of looking silly. Fear of not wearing the new trend correctly.

Dr. Paul Nassif, MD of Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology say’s SPRINGTIME IS THE BEST TIME FOR WOMEN AND MEN TO REJUVENATE THEIR LOOK. He joins Craig to discuss how we can put your best face forward this spring with help from renowned facial and reconstructive surgeon.

“Many patients are simply looking for small changes, maybe they are tired of the crows’ feet around their eyes or they would like fuller, plumper lips. For these, injectable fillers are a great answer. But, there are options to great looking skin at every age,” said Dr. Nassif.

Here is Dr. Nassif’s guide for great skin at any age:

Twenties — For 20-year-olds, their skin looks great, but sunscreen is essential. To protect their skin from premature aging moisturize with at least spf 15 daily. Injectables like Restylane offer younger patients a way to plump up lips and add volume to checks and chins.

Thirties – In the 30s, the skin can look drier, thinner and wrinkles may start to appear around the eyes and mouth. Plenty of water and moisturizing twice a day keeps the skin hydrated. Another tool, injectables and fillers such as BOTOX, Juvederm, Sculptra and Radiesse combat the early signs of aging by filling in wrinkles, or plumping up lips and cheeks.

Forties – During the forties, the skin’s cell renewal and collagen production begins to slow down leaving the skin looking dull. Age spots, freckles, and pores become more noticeable. Exfoliation and chemical peels help get rid of dead skin cells and reveal smoother skin. A blepharoplasty can be a good option for those with sagging skin around the eyes.

Fifties — Dry skin and wrinkles are common in the 50s, as well as sagging skin around the neck and chin so good skin care is essential. Other ways to fight aging include dermal fillers to add fullness and facelifts, like the Anti-Gravity Lift, to address saggy cheeks, chins and jowls

Sixties — Moisturizer is critical in the 60s. Decreased circulation to the skin makes it look lighter and dryer. Laser resurfacing and microdermadrasion help address skin issues. While an upper and lower facelift or facial implants correct heavy jowls and deep facial lines.

Cosmetic surgery should strive to create a natural look that is in harmony with your features and appearance.

Experiences with Lasik Surgery have varied from gaining better than 20/20 vision to complete disasters. You can’t just run down to the corner clinic and hope that you’re going to get your eyes fixed. You need to find a true expert, and you need to make sure they’re using the most up-to-date equipment and techniques.

Captain Steven Schallhorn, M.D., USN, Ret of Top Gun Vision tells us exactly what we can do to keep our vision in top health for longer than ever before possible.

He offers his refractive surgery skills and expertise to the residents of and visitors to San Diego. Dr. Schallhorn was the ophthalmologist selected to evaluate the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO, the highest ranking Naval Officer), Surgeon General of the Navy (highest ranking Navy doctor), Admirals, Naval Aviators, SEALs, Sailors, and Marines. The devotion and care he exhibits in the correction of vision for our nation’s highest asset military personnel will be applied to each and every refractive surgery case he performs in the civilian sector. He was the Director of Refractive Surgery for the U.S. Navy. He founded and directs the refractive surgery center at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Calif. He is a principal investigator for the U.S. Navy on the safety and efficacy of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and LASIK. Many of his clinical studies have focused on laser vision correction and night vision.

What You Need to Know About Wavefront Refractive Surgery

The STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System is designed to bring CustomVue® individualized laser vision correction to life and provide the flexibility to treat patients with the broadest range of FDA approvals to date.

Technologies like Active Trak® 3-D eye tracking, automatic centering, Variable Spot Scanning (VSS™), Variable Repetition Rate (VRR™), and Iris Registration add to the laser’s already remarkable precision.

The WaveScan WaveFront® System sets the industry standard for outstanding wavefront acquisition and diagnostic utility. fast and powerful, it delivers the unprecedented levels and measurement accuracy essential to the CustomVue™ procedure – and to optimized outcomes.

The WaveScan WaveFront® System provides fast and efficient capture of the patient’s wavefront data through the use of precise Hartmann-Shack aberrometry. WaveScan® technology is also designed to provide a host of practice-enhancing capabilities, such as using the Fourier algorithm to precisely reconstruct the wavefront treatment plan, off-line programming, and auto exam selection mode, which maximize patient flow.

CustomVue™ Laser Vision Correction:
FDA approved to treat myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism

You may have heard CustomVue treatments referred to as “custom” or “wavefront” LASIK. This breakthrough treatment establishes a new standard in laser vision correction.

CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered telescopes, to measure imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods.

In a clinical study for treatment of low to moderate myopia (nearsightedness), one year after treatment 98 percent of patients receiving CustomVue treatment could see 20/20 or better.

CustomVue treatment can free you from the full-time use of eyeglasses or contact lenses, while offering the potential for better vision than you could achieve with either.

Are you a candidate for the CustomVue procedure? Since CustomVue treatment is approved for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, 94 percent* of all laser vision correction candidates are potentially eligible for a CustomVue procedure.

How the CustomVue™ Procedure Works

CustomVue treatments use WaveScan™ technology created by VISX, Incorporated, originally developed to reduce distortions in high-powered telescopes when viewing distant objects in space.

• WaveScan technology measures imperfections in your eye 25 times more precisely than standard methods for glasses and contact lenses.
• The WaveScan WaveFront™ System produces a detailed map of your eye. Much like a fingerprint, no two eyes are exactly alike.
• The digital information is transferred to the STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System, which performs the CustomVue procedure.
• Your CustomVue treatment is designed to correct the unique imperfections of your eyes.

In addition, the CustomVue procedure uses Iris Registration Technology — the first fully automated method of aligning and registering wavefront corrections for CustomVue treatments. Accurate alignment is essential to optimizing customized wavefront-guided ablations.

Iris Registration Technology:

• replaces manual methods of treatment alignment.
• aligns treatment to the cornea and provides greater alignment accuracy.
• centers the treatment correctly.

ABOUT

Dr. Steven Schallhorn, MD., USN, Ret.

Captain Steven Schallhorn, MD, has helped numerous soldiers over the years with his pioneering work in LASIK and refractive surgery.

His extensive research and surgical skills has allowed many soldiers to have LASIK surgery prior to their deployment to
Iraq and Afghanistan. In these areas, harsh, sandy and windy conditions make contact lenses unfeasible and the danger of
lost or damaged glasses a serious safety hazard for both the soldier and their entire unit.

In the last few weeks, Dr. Schallhorn has begun performing LASIK surgery on naval aviators. This is the first time the US
Navy has allowed vision correction surgery to be performed on naval aviators, due in part to Schallhorn’s extensive studies.Previously, navy aviators have been ineligible to have LASIK
surgery.

About AMO

Advanced Medical Optics, Inc. (AMO) (NYSE: EYE) is a global medical device leader focused on the discovery and delivery of innovative vision technologies that optimize the quality of life for people of all ages. The company focuses on developing a broad suite of innovative technologies and devices to address a wide range of eye disorders.

AMO became an independent company in June 2002 following a spin-off from Allergan, Inc. AMO is based in Santa Ana, California, and employs approximately 3,800 people worldwide. The company has operations in 24 countries and markets products in approximately 60 countries.

AMO (originally American Medical Optics) started business in 1976 as a pioneer in the early development of intraocular lenses for cataract patients. We brought the first small-incision foldable intraocular lens through the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process and began marketing it in 1989. Foldable lenses were a major advance in cataract surgery because they made it possible for surgeons to insert the lens through a small incision. This meant less trauma to the eye and faster visual recovery from cataract surgery, from months to days.

AMO developed the Array® intraocular lens, the first multifocal intraocular lens to be approved for commercial distribution by the U.S. FDA. Multifocal implants provide patients with distance, intermediate, and near vision. Traditional monofocal lenses generally provide good distance vision only.

AMO designed and developed new equipment for removing cataracts. We have an outstanding phacoemulsification system, called the Sovereign® System. The Sovereign® System is equipped with WhiteStar™ software, an advanced technology that uses very low levels of ultrasound power to dissolve the full range of dense cataracts that can develop in the eye. The Sovereign® System won the prestigious Medical Design Excellence Silver Award from the Industrial Designers Society of America in 1999 for “excellence in medical product design engineering.”

AMO entered the refractive surgery market with the Amadeus™ Microkeratome, a device used during LASIK procedures. The Amadeus™ microkeratome produces the corneal flap that protects the eye after the laser procedure.

In 2004, AMO introduced the Verisyse™ phakic IOL for treatment of moderate to severe myopia, the first lens of its kind to receive FDA approval. The company also acquired the Tecnis® and CeeOn® IOLs, the Healon® line of viscoelastics and the Baerveldt® glaucoma device, marking the company’s entrance into the glaucoma market. The Tecnis® IOL is the first IOL with a modified prolate optic to have a claim for improved functional vision.
