advantages of heads-up operations, he says.
While only one manufacturer today makes a digital microscope for the
ophthalmic OR, entries into the field from optics and camera makers or
from display and image processing experts would enliven the technolo-
gy and perhaps even
convince traditional
optics diehards to
upgrade, says Dr.
Durrie. "It's somewhat
of a legacy issue," he
says. "Microscopes are
$100,000-plus, and
we're comfortable
with their optics. We
get really good results,
even though our necks
hurt. But young part-
ners definitely don't
want the complaints
that senior partners
have."
