Designs For Vision (DFV) will be introducing new additions in surgery and diagnostics at RANZCO virtual, and will be celebrating the 20th birthday of OCULUS Pentacam. Expanding on a comprehensive portfolio, the supplier will be showcasing its latest technology for ophthalmic surgery, with phacoemulsification and ophthalmic microscopes.
DFV is representing Leica Microsystems in Australia and New Zealand, and will be exhibiting the manufacturer’s Leica Proveo8 surgical microscope in conjunction with the ground-breaking EnFocus intraoperative OCT. Providing greater detail for both anterior and posterior surgeries, with up to 1000 B-scans, DFV says it offers surgeons a complete understanding of subsurface tissue behaviour in real time for best possible patient outcomes.
Elsewhere, DFV says a Swiss ophthalmic innovation called “sophi” is marking a revolution in phacoemulsification. The wireless Sophi phaco system was designed in Switzerland by THIS AG to make the work of the surgical team simpler, safer and more efficient. Sophi is said to provide a range of features that improve mobility, convenience and usability in the operating theatre. Designed for predictability and control, the triple pump fluidics include a dedicated pump for IOP control. With an important focus on sustainability – reducing waste and cost – Sophi utilises a day cassette.
In terms of diagnostic innovations, DFV will be presenting the iCare’s EIDON high resolution TrueColor Confocal fundus imaging, which has been enhanced with the new ultra widefield module – increased field of view up to 200°. The EIDON family offers multiple imaging modalities, including fluorescein angiography in ultra-high resolution.
Finally, DFV is celebrating the 20th birthday of the OCULUS Pentacam, which it says is an important member of the team for many practices. Since its introduction in 2002, the device has proven itself indispensable and become the gold standard in anterior segment tomography. Since launch, the Pentacam family has expanded to include even more tools and functionality. Now the most versatile member of the family, the Pentacam AXL WAVE, combines Scheimpflug imaging and full anterior segment measurement with optical biometry and wavefront aberrometry of the entire eye.
