First Formula For Success: Safety Assuming all lasers have the characteristics of precision, speed and accuracy, the main advantage for me is safety and repeatability of the laser. Applying the car racing analogy, this also means I can routinely make the movements – or turns – needed to accurately perform the procedure. -Dr. Francis Mah

peed. Precision. Accuracy. Fine motor skills. The ability to make tight maneuvers. These characteristics might make some think of surgeons and their high-tech equipment — this is, after all, an ophthalmology magazine. But for the team behind CAKE Magazine, these attributes also make us think of car racing — Formula One, to be exact, with the highest performance cars, the greatest caliber of drivers, and the biggest prizes to be won. Come to think of it, these all sound a lot like ophthalmology — with its complicated surgeries, topnotch eye doctors, and prized patient outcomes. Surgeons, like race car drivers, need the best equipment to provide optimum patient outcomes (the real grand prize). And many of those characteristics required for a race car are also key factors in surgical equipment, devices and lasers. Follow us on this circuitous route — we promise, it comes full circle.
