LONDON — Carl Zeiss Meditec presented the company’s new IOLMaster 700 with swept-source biometry here. The device allows for optimized workflows in cataract surgery, according to experts at a press event here.
The device offers similar workflow for the implantation of toric IOLs, compared with the IOLMaster 500, and takes a full-length OCT image, Karlheinz Rein of Carl Zeiss Meditec said at press briefing at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. This full-length imaging technique may also detect unusual eye geometrics, he said.
The advantage to this allows for visual verification of measurements, yielding fewer ‘refractive surprises,’ according to Rein. In addition, imaging of the fovea in the macula lutea offers physicians a fixation check.
The IOLMaster 700 is compatible with previous versions, and access to the database of the user group of laser interference biometry. It will be available in Europe this fall, according to a press release. – by Samantha Costa
