SAN FRANCISCO — Ellex Medical Laser announced a number of significant changes during the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. The publicly traded Australian-based company is establishing Ellex as its global brand name, replacing the brand name Laserex that the company has used in the United States and Japan.

The latest generation of excimer laser systems for refractive surgery has greatly improved the accuracy of refractive outcomes over earlier versions, but much of that improvement is due to optical concepts other than wavefront-guided correction, according to an optics expert.
