A stable red reflex is one of the most important features of an ophthalmic surgical microscope for cataract surgery. It’s the red reflex that makes the structure of the lens visible and thus makes for…Read articleA Healthy Dose of Interferometry
Although interferometry may once have been dismissed by the medical community because of its inability to see inside the human body, its application within the wider biomedical arena is continuing to…Read articleThe Value of Intraoperative OCT Imaging in Vitreoretinal Surgery
The role of iOCT in vitreoretinal surgery continues to be defined by active research and enhancements to integrative technologies. Further research is needed to better define the specific applications…Read articleHandheld Optical Coherence Tomography During Sedation in Young Children With Optic Pathway Gliomas
Monitoring young children with optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) for visual deterioration can be difficult owing to age-related noncompliance. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures of retinal nerve…Read articleOCT Publication List
OCT is a non-invasive, contact-free technique that helps to detect and monitor morphological changes of ocular tissue, in particular retinal layer thickness, which can give insight into pathological…Read articleVideo Talk by Sonia H. Yoo: Interoperative OCT Imaging of Selective Lamellar Keratoplasty
The work prepared and presented within this video demonstrates preliminary research, and the promising future of perioperative OCT to aid the diagnosis of physiological and pathological conditions…Read articleVideo: How Optical Innovations and 3D Heads-up Surgery Help to Improve Ophthalmic Surgery
In this video, Dr. Ike Ahmed demonstrates how optical innovations help to improve ophthalmic surgeries. In addition, he talks about his experience with 3D heads-up surgery, using a stereoscopic…Read articleFusionOptics in Neurosurgery and Ophthalmology – for a Larger 3D Area in Focus
Neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists deal with delicate structures, deep or narow cavities and tiny structures with vitally important functions. A clear, three-dimensional view on the surgical field is…Read articleErgonomically Designed Surgical Microscopes Support Performance
Operations not only demand maximum concentration of the surgeon but also maximum physical fitness. Physiotherapist John Ludescher explains how the body can be given optimal support to perform at its…Read articleState-of-the-Art Microscope Enables New Vitreoretinal Surgery Technique
In pars plana vitrectomy, three ocular incisions are normally made. Thanks to the superb optics and the unique illumination concept of the Leica M844 F40, Dr. Luca Cappuccini from Reggio Emilia…Read articleSeeing Without a Haze – Trends in Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery has been practised for centuries and is one of the most common operations performed worldwide today. Ultra modern surgical techniques with tiny incisions and high-quality prosthetic…Read article
