Ophthalmic Surgical Microscope

Ophthalmic surgical microscopes reveal finest anatomical details and facilitate surgical maneuvers during anterior and posterior segment surgery. Their use in ophthalmology has a wide range of applications, from diagnostics to complex surgical procedures.
The surgical microscope consists of a series of lenses, aligned to give a stereoscopic image, and a built-in illumination system. It is a low-power microscope capable of being adjusted to give stepwise increases in magnification between 3 and 40 times
The applications of surgical microscope: These applications mainly cover neurosurgeries and spine surgeries, ENT surgeries, ophthalmic surgeries, dental operations, as well as plastic and reconstructive surgeries.
An optical microscope, also sometimes known as a light microscope, uses one or a series of lenses to magnify images of small samples with visible light. The lenses are placed between the sample and the viewer’s eye to magnify the image so that it can be examined in greater detail.
The use of ophthalmic microscope:  It provides the surgeon with a magnified and illuminated high-quality image of the small ophthalmic structures. Being binocular the surgical microscopes gives the additional benefit of high-quality stereoscopy.
The function of the ophthalmic lens: They offer a good field of view, satisfactory image magnification and the ability to examine small pupils. These lenses also allow panretinal fundus examination from the central to the periphery, including the ora serrata.ophthalmic microscopes provide an outstanding visualization of the eye, with excellent ergonomics and integrated assistance functions.The surgical microscope is one the most important instruments in eye surgery, allowing ophthalmic surgeons to visualize micro-anatomical details and perform surgery.
The human eye is an inseparable and delicate organ of the body. The process of Ophthalmic surgery, therefore, requires the ability to keenly monitor progress on a micro-level. Ophthalmic microscopes are developed to provide detailed and high contrast imaging of various regions or microscopic elements of the eyes.
Surgical ophthalmology refers to ophthalmologists who perform microsurgical intraocular operations, such as cataract extraction surgery or retinal detachment repair surgery. Nearly all surgical ophthalmologists perform cataract surgery and specialise in one of 10 different surgical sub-specialties.
The principle of operating microscope: Principle. The basic principle of the microscope is two convex lenses ( objective lens and eyepiece lens) separated to a certain distance more than the focal length of each lens. The primary requisite for the good ophthalmic microscope is smooth magnification without any change in working distance.
