Volk Pan Retinal Laser Lens with Contact Flange

■ A new-flanged contact element is the key feature to Volk Optical’s redesigned H-R Wide Field pan retinal lens. These new contacts prevent patients from squeezing the lens off the eye during diagnostic or laser work. The lens provides .50x magnification, with 2.0x laser spot magnification. It offers clear visualization of retinal tears or lesions and provides a pan retinal view not possible with a non-contact slit lamp. You can also obtain a view of the entire retina not provided by a mirrored lens.

Diopsys CORDA software

■ Diopsys is aiming to improve the analysis of optical coherence tomography images. The company’s CORDA software uses existing images to help in the assessment of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). Analysis of RNFL thickness, the company says, is being overstated due to current OCT technology limitations. This software hones in on just the damaged structure.
