ALCON DONATES EYE MACHINE

In May 2024, the Alcon Cares Board of Directors from the USA approved the donation of a Centurion Vision System ® for cataract and other complicated eye surgeries. The system uses a new method that greatly improves the quality of eye surgery. CSC received the equipment this month and used it for the first time this week! The machine allows surgeons to maintain lower pressure in the eye which may increase patient comfort during surgery. This will greatly contribute to our operations in our Eye Surgery Department.

THANK YOU ALCON CARES!
