?In his ophthalmology practice, Surgical Eye Care in Wilmington, Alan Brown, M.D., is “always bumping up against things that could be done better.”
As he performs cataract and refractive surgeries, inevitably a need will arise, he says, “and voilà, an invention idea appears.”
Brown, an impassioned inventor in his off hours, has transformed two of those ideas into award-winning product innovations – a self-illuminating speculum and a corneal marking system – designed to make eye surgeries more efficient and accurate, improving patient outcomes.
