ATLANTA — Alcon introduced the Constellation Vision System for vitreous surgery here at a company-sponsored media event at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.

The new system features a 5,000 cpm vitrectomy probe with duty cycle control, integrated pressurized infusion and IOP compensation, advanced xenon illumination and an embedded 532 nm laser, according to literature distributed at the event.

"This is not just replacement technology; this is new technology," said Patrick Sadd, Alcon's senior global product manager, vitreoretinal. "We made modifications in every area we knew of that surgeons needed."
