The feedback and reactions to the first public presentation of Heidelberg Engineering’s new Cataract and Refractive Imaging Platform* at the ESCRS in Barcelona were extremely positive. Many leading ophthalmologists visited Heidelberg Engineering’s booth for a hands-on preview of the swept-source OCT Cataract and Refractive Imaging Platform and had the chance to experience its versatility. Have a look at this Eyewire TV to find out more.

Heidelberg Engineering will offer a preview of its cataract and refractive imaging platform* during this year’s Congress of the ESCRS in Barcelona. The platform is based on an upgradable, modular design, which allows to configure each product to the specific diagnostic workflow in a practice or clinic. Main options include: IOL biometry, corneal topography/tomography, anterior segment biometry and anterior segment imaging.
