VRmagic announced the marketing of a new platform generationof its ophthalmic surgery simulator Eyesi Surgical. In close cooperation withthe Swiss company Haag-Streit Diagnostics, the German-based manufacturer hasdeveloped a digital microscope head and integrated a new virtualhigh-resolution stereo microscope in the simulator. For training of retinasurgery, the platform now also features the simulation of the currentgeneration OCULUS SDI/BIOM 5.
Looking through the new microscope binocular, which featuresmechanical and optical systems from Haag-Streit, trainee ophthalmic surgeonsobtain a large 3D field-of-view and a detail-precise stereo visualization ofthe surgery simulation. The digital binocular now offers a resolution of 1080-by-1080pixels per eye. The refraction can be corrected individually by means of adiopter scale on the eyepieces. Furthermore, the optical system now provides arealistic exit pupil, so that trainees need to adjust the pupil distanceindividually in order to obtain a complete, wide 3D field-of-vision – just aswith a real microscope.
For training of vitreoretinal surgery, the new Eyesi platform provides hardware and simulation of the current generation OCULUS SDI/BIOM 5. The non-contact viewing system enables wide-angle observation of the fundus and vitreous body. Like the original, the SDI (stereoscopic diagonal inverter), is activated automatically when the BIOM (binocular indirect ophthalmomicroscope) is swung into the beam path. Furthermore, it is detected and visualized in the simulation if the lens accidentally touches the cornea or if the view is blocked.
