Kowa brings together the thought leaders of today to speak on salient matters in diabetes, glaucoma and diagnostic Imaging.
Los Angeles, CA - A leader in advanced ophthalmic instrumentation for over 50 years, Kowa products comprise the largest selection of precision instruments including digital fundus imaging, perimeters, tonometers, slit lamps, indirect ophthalmoscopes and binocular loupes. Kowa recently announced DigiVersalTM, image viewing software specifically designed for eye care professionals, and will be demonstrating the new product at their booth.

Kowa Optimed is sponsoring thought leaders in the field of Ophthalmology to speak at the Kowa Presentation Theater, Booth 3039 during the American Academy of Ophthalmology Joint Exhibition Meeting in Chicago from November 10th through the 13th.
“We are thrilled to be part of this year’s Joint Meeting,” says Craig Ross, President and COO of Kowa Optimed. “These presentations provide a forum for doctors to speak with one another, colleague-to-colleague, on issues directly impacting their practices.”
Kowa has partnered with NeoMedix to have Dr. Baerveldt, the inventor of the trabectome procedure, as well as six leading glaucoma specialists present on the global outcome of Micro Incisional Glaucoma Surgery at the Kowa Optimed booth during AAO. Soheila Mirhashemi, President of NeoMedix Corporation says “We are looking forward to presenting the most recent findings of Trabectome surgery in collaboration with our long term partner, Kowa Optimed, at AAO.”
Kowa has also invited the esteemed Dr. Michael Goldstein to speak on the medico-legal advantages of good image documentation. “It is important for today’s doctors to be informed on the incentives of good image documentation. Documentation improves the quality of care physicians render to their patients” says Dr. Goldstein. Incentives can include defense against malpractice suits, standardized documentation, and financial rewards to physicians who purchase and demonstrate meaningful use. Dr. Goldstein will elaborate on these advantages and more during his presentation.
Further, the acclaimed doctor Albert Khouri will speak on digital stereo imaging as the enduring standard. Dr. Khouri is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Ophthalmology and Visual Science at New Jersey Medical School. He specializes in glaucoma with research interests in computer-assisted imaging technologies, telemedicine applications for the detection of vision-threatening diseases, laser treatment and ocular pharmacology.
Dr. Scott Grant will be at the Kowa Presentation Theater to expand on the importance of fluorescein angiography. Dr. Grant is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over 30 years of experience providing patients with comprehensive care at his advanced private practice in Orange County, California. He has been associated with the UCI Medical School for over 25 years, most recently as an Associate Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Ophthalmology and a Fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
This year’s joint exhibition occurs in November, Diabetes Awareness Month, making it the perfect platform for doctors to speak with their colleagues on the health issues facing their patients. Join Kowa for informative and compelling presentations from today’s leading ophthalmology professionals.
