Oculus BIOM - Binocular Indirect Ophthalmo Microscope
- Up to 130 degrees of non-contact observation of the fundus
- High magnification of the macular area
- Vitreous surgery through small pupils
- Fast and easy adaptation on the microscope
- Surgery without permanent assistance
- Stable position over the eye
- Excellent depth of focus
- Surgery without contact to cornea
The BIOM incorporates the principle of indirect ophthalmoscopy in the operating microscope and enables up to 120 degree of non-contact observation of the fundus as well as high magnification of the macula area. Under the BIOM, the eye can be rotated freely so that the far periphery of the fundus is also easily viewed. Even vitreous surgery through small pupils becomes possible.
The BIOM delivers an inverted image which is erected by the SDI.
OCULUS SDI (Stereoscopic Diagonal Inverter) - Bimanual surgery under natural viewing conditions
Wide angle systems such as BIOM or indirect wide field contact lenses, for observation of the ocular fundus deliver an inverted image, rendering them unsuitable for bimanual vitreous surgery. When used with the operating microscope, the SDI erects the inverted image of a wide-angle observation system while maintaining correct stereopsis, thus enabling bimanual vitreous surgery under panoramic viewing conditions.
