New PCO Laser Lab Offers the Latest Training Technology
Although they don’t yet have individual names, Alissa Coyne, OD ‘10, Resident ‘11, FAAO, course coordinator for the Ophthalmic Lasers and Minor Surgical Procedures course and assistant professor in the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) at Salus University calls them “the twins” because they were purchased at the same time.
She’s referring to two new lasers — both Nidek YC-200 S Plus — now featured in what is the new Laser Suite on the University’s Elkins Park, Pennsylvania campus.
The addition of “the twins” brings the total number of lasers in the lab to five, with the hopes of adding even more lasers down the road. All of the lasers are connected to a large screen TV and can be used at the same time, so students in the lab who aren’t simulating being doctors at the moment can observe and learn while other students are performing the simulated procedures with the lasers.
