- Adapt the M822 easily to anterior or poster surgeries to with a range of available accessories
- Experience uninterrupted workflows, progressing through your procedure smoothly with preprogrammed settings
Optimal visualization
The combination of high-transmission Leica optics and dual illumination makes for brilliant images, a prerequisite for smooth surgeries.
Especially in cataract surgery, the dual illumination is very efficient. It consists of a LED main light source and Halogen coaxial Red Reflex illumination. It enables you to work with a stable red reflex throughout the entire procedure, even when the patient’s eye moves differentiate fine structures in the anterior chamber to ensure full removal of lens and cortical fragments
work at minimal light levels thanks to direct illumination, so that the procedure is less stressful for the patient activate the Retina Protection function effortlessly during lens preparation via the footswitch or control panel to automatically reduce light intensity
What does direct illumination mean?
In Leica ophthalmic microscopes, such as the M822, the light source is directly in the optics carrier. In many other systems, the light source is built into the microscope stand and light is guided into the optics carrier via fiber-optic cables.
Advantages of a direct illumination system
- Low maintenance cost: Fiber optics can lose light intensity over time, as the fibers can break due to movement. It’s fairly costly to exchange them. No fiber optics mean less money spent.
- Low light levels: Thanks to the proximity of the light source to the operating field and the high-transmission Leica optics, surgeons can keep light levels down, but still see clearly
- Low stress levels: Less light needed in eye surgeries directly translates to more patient and surgeon comfort. Surgeons also benefit from better patient collaboration.
