I'm Leonard Borrmann, and I'm the CEO at Centricity Vision. And I'm here at ASCRS, where we're launching our new product ZEPTOLink. We're really excited about ZEPTOLink. ZEPTOLink is the first and only product that's capable of creating a 360-degree, instantaneous capsulotomy. Earlier this week, at Eyecelerator, I presented some of our first in-human data on ZEPTOLink. We had 4 doctors do 61 cases of patients undergoing cataract surgery, treated with ZEPTOLink. All 61 of the patients had complete capsulotomies with no signs of tags or tears. The results, in terms of capsulotomy diameter and circularity, were extremely precise. A capsulotomy size at 5.1, and circularity very, very low at five one-hundredths of a millimeter. We're really excited about the data. The procedure itself was all performed in less than 13 seconds, in all cases. It's very cost-effective in terms of getting it into the operating room. And we're really excited about the possibilities that ZEPTOLink brings in terms of improving outcomes for your premium patients, making complex cases just a little less challenging, and most importantly, doing all of that in a very productive, efficient and cost-effective manner.
