6. self-retaining contact lens
standard Machemer plano-concave (−60 diopters) onepiece acrylic lens
with four footplates
7. Wide angle viewing systems
based on the principle of binocular indirect ophthalmomicroscopy
contact and noncontact mode
Non contact viewing Contact viewing
Advantages
• assistant is not required
• no intraoperative corneal trauma
• provides a good view during air-fluid
exchange and in patients with steep corneas
and small pupils
Advantages
• image resolution and stereopsis are superior
• field of view is also wider
Disadvantages
• Poor view in patients with corneal trauma
• Need an assistant
12. Non contact systems
optical fiber-free intravitreal surgery system by Topcon (OFFIS)
can see the fundus with illumination incorporated into the microscope
without using a light probe
Working distance from the cornea is more
cannot be adapted to other microscopes
40 D 50’
80 D 70’
120 D130’
13. Non contact systems
From ocular OSVS (ocular sergical viewing system)
The Peyman-Wessels-Landers 132 D upright vitrectomy lens
132 D indirect lens
without an inverter because of an internal prismatic system
Less cost
Image Mag: .45x
Static FOV: 100°
Dynamic FOV: 135°
14. Non contact systems
EIBOS (erected image binocular microscope)
In-built inverter
90, 132 D lenses
100, 125 degree field
