Extremely well. University Medical Center Hospital and the VA Medical Center in Big Spring possess the latest Alcon Infinity phacoemulsification units. We use an Alcon Legacy 2000 unit at our Montford site. We also have an active phacoemulsification laboratory with 4 stations complete with Legacy 20000 or master 10000 Phaco units here at the parent institution. Resident access to this laboratory is 24/7 and tissue for educational and/or research use is available from our own in-house Eye Bank (as well as animal tissue from regional packing houses).
