Nidek participates at MEACO through NAVEX seminar

Nidek has a market that extends to the Middle East and particularly to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Dubai and that through their long standing, positive relationship with AMICO, their Middle East distributor. Nidek garner a 40% market share on one of the best, most technologically innovative excimer lasers on the market; the CX3.

NAVEX seminar, which is their featured event at MEACO this year, in which they hosted over 80 doctors that use many of their products including the CX3 Excimer Laser (formerly EC-5000) and OPD-Scan II for corneal topography and wavefront aberrometry measurements. The presenters were distinguished Nidek surgeons from around the world including UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, USA, Egypt, Russia, Italy, the UK and Iran.

This year, the seminar proved to be very popular and beneficial to all those that attended. Enlightening and energetic discussions developed after many of the presentations, indicating that doctors use Nidek products for the betterment of their patients eye health.

They have one particular study, which they are very excited about called Optimized Prolate Ablation or OPA. OPA is designed to ablate the cornea much more efficiently and accurately, creating sort of a stereo vision. OPA changes the way the cornea is ablated by creating a smoother peripheral transition zone, including what Dr. Jack Holladay (USA) calls Radial Energy Compensation. Radial Energy Compensation takes into account the natural curvature of the eye at the periphery where laser ablation energy is less. With OPA, this peripheral reduction in ablation is compensated thus producing a more homogenous ablation and better visual outcomes for patients.
