Eyelab

In 1983, the EyeLab® provided the first YAG laser to all ophthalmologists in Southern California to access in those offices. When US units became universally affordable and available for most ophthalmic offices, the EyeLab offices were ultimately closed. In 1989, after programming the original Hoffer formula on a Casio programmable calculator and l... ater adding the Holladay and the SRK/T formulas, the calculator became something ophthalmologists wanted to purchase. Dr. Hoffer then decided to reactivate the EyeLab to provide these units to his colleagues. After years of requesting this program on a computer, the EyeLab® created the first such program for IOL calculation in 1993. Several years later a MAC version became available. Years of requests by users led to the introduction of the full Database version of the program in 1998. The EyeLab® over the years has donated some of its proceeds to the MDEyePAC of the California Academy of Ophthalmology (CAO) in its defense of ophthalmology in the State legislature. This state ophthalmology PAC was started by Dr. Hoffer when he was President of the CAO in 1983. The EyeLab® has been the sole responsibility of Kenneth J Hoffer, MD and he has been in charge of quality assurance and the innovative improvements in the Hoffer Programs product. He has been aided by excellent computer programmers.Read More
