• Live refractive monitoring. The
Holos IntraOp System from
Clarity Medical Systems uses
proprietary wavelength technolo-
gy to measure real-time refrac-
tion of the eye and to provide the
surgeon with spherical power,
level of astigmatism and axis of
astigmatism. The system sends
live refraction through a built-in algorithm to generate a recom-
mended power for the lens implant and expected outcome in
diopters off the zero-target, which would be a perfect refractive out-
come. The system is currently available for Zeiss surgical micro-
scopes, but the company says it has plans to partner with other
major scope manufacturers.
• Ultrasound with light. The
NIR 900 surgical microscope
from Haag-Streit now features
iOCT Imaging, which provides
infrared scans of the eye's
anterior and posterior seg-
ments at a depth of 4.2 mm.
The scan's signal appears as an
overlay on the microscope's
video display and provides incredible detail of small tissue, which is
particularly valuable for corneal surgeons performing DSEK or
DMEC cases.
