SMI Surgery Guidance interfaces Haag Streit LENSTARS

SMI Surgery Guidance for IOL now provides registration link to Haag Streit LENSTAR LS900 biometry device.

Haag Streit AG (Switzerland) and SensoMotoric Instruments GmbH (SMI, Germany) present the SMI Surgery Guidance solution with registration capabilities for Haag Streit LENSTAR LS900 image data at the ASCRS in San Diego, USA (25 – 29th March 2011). With the registration link to SMI Surgery Guidance surgeons are able to determine automatically and in real-time the orientation of the eye under the surgery microscope relative to the LENSTAR LS900 measurement.

Launched at the ESCRS 2010, the SMI Surgery Guidance solution supports the precise orientation of toric IOL, the accurate centering of multifocal IOL, the exact position of incisions and LRIs and the centering and sizing of capsulorhexis. The registration of the surgery microscope live view to the LENSTAR LS900 reference image is performed fully automatic at the SMI Surgery Pilot without the use of manual markers. During the surgery the corresponding positioning and alignment overlays are superimposed on the camera live image at the computer screen and are injected into binoculars of the microscope (e.g. into the Moeller-Wedel Hi R 900) to intra-operatively support the surgeon with all important data directly and visually.

Dr. Oliver Kersting, Head of SMI’s Ophthalmic Systems business division says: “The Haag Streit LENSTAR is the first third party diagnostic device expanding the basis of the SMI Surgery Guidance platform. With the LENSTAR LS900 link to SMI Surgery Guidance the intra-surgery positioning of advanced technology lenses and incisions integrates seamlessly into the modern diagnostic and surgery process - for every patient and without extra effort.”
