Digital advance

During the 2017 American Academy of Ophthalmology’s (AAO) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, ZEISS presented new technologies advancing the digitalisation of eye care, including VERACITY™ Surgical, a cloud-based cataract surgery planning platform. ZEISS also presented new diagnostic technologies for retina and glaucoma to help eye doctors more effectively and efficiently advance patient care: CLARUS™ 500, the first fundus imaging system combining True Color with exceptional clarity within an ultra-widefield view; and HFA3 SITA Faster, which reduces visual field testing time by more than 50%. “Digital technology is fundamentally changing our world and has a major impact in healthcare,” says Dr Ludwin Monz, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec. “ZEISS is constantly addressing future-forward trends, such as digitalisation, which is reshaping how medicine is practised today, to give doctors innovative solutions to help patients,” he said. www.zeiss.com
