2. John Weiss is pleased to offer
a special 10% discount on the
MORCHER range of Capsular Tension
Rings (CTRs), in response to the
reintroduction of elective surgery in
the UK.
MORCHER CTRs are manufactured
from one-piece PMMA. The range
consists of; Capsular tension rings,
Cionni rings, Capsular ring segments
and Capsular edge rings.
AllMORCHERCTRsaresingle-useand
preloaded. They are used in cases of
defective or partly-missing zonules,
and also in potentially complicated
surgical conditions, luxation of IOLs,
zonuloysis, pseudoexfoliation, and
Marchesani syndrome. CTRs are
also used to stabilise the capsule in
cases of severe myopia.
Cionni rings are CTRs with additional
fixation eyelets, to allow the entire
ring to be fixated permanently to
the sclera with sutures. The suturing
eyelets are positioned slightly
anterior to the ring, allowing the ring
to be placed into the capsular bag,
while the eyelets remain anterior to
the capsule.
Capsular ring segments were
created for patients with extensive
and/or progressive zonular loss.
The partial PMMA ring segment
traces a 120° arc with a radius of
4.5 or 5.0 mm, and an anteriorly
positioned fixation eyelet.
Unlike the CTRs, capsular segments
can be used in cases where a
discontinuous capsulorhexis, an
anterior capsule tear or a posterior
capsule tear, is present.
Due to their sharp-edge design,
Capsular edge rings reduce
secondary cataracts significantly
and prevent capsular fibrosis of the
anterior capsule membrane.
As the rings prevent the stickage of
the anterior and posterior capsule
membrane, explantations and
secondary fixation of an artificial
lens to the capsular bag is facilitated.
The special offer is available now on
the entire MORCHER CTR range. Just
quote MORCHERQ420 to receive a
10% discount. Promotion ends 30th
November 2020.
For more information on the
MORCHER range, please visit

4. HS-UK offers Perkins Mk3 hand-held tonometer with
disposable prisms at special price in response to
COVID-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there
has been much discussion about
whether non-contact tonometry
could be transmitting infection as it is
a potential source of micro-aerosol.
Adopting applanation tonometry, using
disposable tonometer prisms, further
minimises the risk of any cross-infection.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic,HS-UK
is offering a special promotion to assist
Optometrists’ in adopting procedures
which will make their practices safe
for both patients and staff. Optoms can
purchase a Perkins Mk3 applanation
tonometer with a box of 20 Tonosafe
disposable tonometer prisms for just
£850 + VAT (RRP £1,045.00 ex VAT), with
FREE shipping.
Perkins is synonymous with being
the ‘gold-standard’ in hand-held
applanation tonometers and has the
unique ability to provide applanation
tonometry readings that correlate
strongly with the Goldmann tonometer.
Tonosafe single-use tonometer prisms
avoid the need for cleaning and
disinfection, without compromising the
original Goldmann quality. It has been
developed for single patient use only,
and reliably eliminates the risk of cross-
infection.
To purchase the Perkins Mk3 tonometer
with a box of 20 Tonosafe disposable
prisms at this special price of just £850 +
VAT,visit the HS-UK e-shop,or telephone
HS-UK on (01279) 414969.
The EIBOS 2; For non-
contact, wide-angle
fundus observation
The Haag-Streit Surgical EIBOS 2
is an integrated image inverter for
non-contact, wide-angle fundus
observation.Important for vitreoretinal
surgery, it minimises the height of the
microscope and flips away when not
needed.The inverter body is extremely
slim which allows the surgeon, at
low magnification, to simultaneously
visualise the fundus and the incision
area, upright in the same orientation.
The system’s high-quality optics
allow excellent vision to the edges
of the visual field. Operation is fast
and easy as the microscope is
immediately focused on the cornea
when the EIBOS 2 is flipped out of
its working position. The concentric
position underneath the microscope
allows rotation of the image inverter,
according to ergonomic preferences,
without moving the image.
For safety and improved workflow, the
EIBOS 2 also offers E.DL disposable
lenses. The lenses are a fully-
disposable product and are offered in
both 90D and SPLX. Supplied sterile,
they eliminate the risk of disease
transmission. In addition, the lenses
are cost-efficient, avoiding charges for
reconditioning and allowing shorter
preparation for the surgery.
The EIBOS 2 is compatible with all
Haag-Streit Surgical microscope
models and most variants of Zeiss
ophthalmic microscopes, with the
addition of an adapter. For more
information on the EIBOS 2, visit

All Merilas lasers are small and
compact, allowing easy transportation.
Each laser comes with a robust and
practical transport case. To ensure safe
handling, the continuous wave and
short pulse mode are set in separate
menus. The wavelength of the laser
can be easily identified by the coloured
ring around the fibre coupling.
The short pulse mode consists of
many alternating short bursts by the
laser, meaning the tissue being treated
needs less heat, offering a more gentle
approach. The 810 wavelength is less
absorbed by melanin and haemoglobin
and has the advantage of penetrating
both the sclera and where the patient
demonstrates excessive haemorrhage.

810, email merilas810@johnweiss.com

HEINE develops
OMEGA 500 breath
shield, in response to
Ophthalmic bodies’
guidance
In response to ophthalmic bodies’
guidance, HEINE has developed
a breath shield exclusively
for the OMEGA 500 indirect
ophthalmoscope.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic,
users of binocular indirect
ophthalmoscopes are facing
challenges when it comes to
examining patients. Ophthalmic
societies are advising that
examiners attach breath shields to
their ophthalmic devices to reduce
their potential risk of infection.
The OMEGA 500 lightweight breath
shield covers the mouth, nose
and chin area. It offers a clear
view through the ophthalmoscope
during examinations, thanks to a
cut-out in the optics.
Easytoattachtotheinstrument,the
breath shield allows comfortable
working, as there is no contact
with the wearer’s nose and all the
controls on the ophthalmoscope
are freely accessible. The OMEGA
500 can be charged directly on the
EN 50 UNPLUGGED wall-mounted
charging station while the breath
shield remains attached.
The OMEGA 500 breath shield
is available to purchase from
the Haag-Streit UK e-shop at

HS-UK is pleased to announce the launch
of the Meridian MR Q and MR Q supine
YAG lasers in the UK.
The MR Q is a fully-integrated YAG laser,
which features the latest technology
for posterior capsulotomy, pupillary
membranectomy and iridotomy.
The laser boasts outstanding usability,
featuring a rapid start-up time and an
easy-to-use touch-screen display. The
user can choose between anterior and
posterior offset on one screen, ensuring
a smooth and efficient workflow.
The analogue rotary knobs, such as laser
power and aiming beam brightness, are
located on both sides of the laser head to
provide a comfortable working position
for left and right-handed users.
Additionally, Haag-Streit UK is delighted
to introduce the MR Q supine, a fully-
integrated ophthalmic laser for supine
use, designed for capsulotomy and
iridotomy.
This is the only laser system on the market
which allows the treatment of patients
who are unable to sit at a slit lamp and is
ideal for paediatric and elderly patients.
The MR Q supine laser features an LCD
display with simple navigation between
selection buttons.
Control buttons change and monitor
system information and an authentication
pin code is in place for safety. The
ergonomic 0-210° inclinable Haag-Streit
Surgical binoculars allow comfortable
operation.
