ZEISS Redefines Disease Management and Treatment within the ZEISS Retina Workflow
"At EURETINA this year, ZEISS will demonstrate our latest surgical innovations and digital tools designed to help retinal surgeons deliver diagnoses and treatment plans efficiently and with good patient outcomes," said Euan S. Thomson , Ph.D., President of the Ophthalmology Strategic Business Unit and Head of the Digital Business Unit at ZEISS Medical Technology. "We're excited to showcase our expanding ZEISS Retina Workflow, now including DORC's EVA NEXUS surgical system which complements our overall ophthalmic surgery portfolio by delivering exceptional efficiency, improved stability and higher responsiveness during surgery."
ZEISS will showcase advanced surgical technologies that are setting the pace in 3D digital visualization in ophthalmic surgery. The ARTEVO 850 3D digital ophthalmic microscope, used in both anterior and posterior surgical cases, offers customizable 3D digital visualization with true color imaging allowing the surgical image to be displayed in high fidelity as well as an expanded depth of field (DoF), enabling surgeons to increase the depth of field by nearly 60 percent. The ZEISS ARTEVO 850 offers digital integration into the surgical workflow for seamless data transfer and a redesigned CALLISTO eye user interface for intuitive navigation and productivity. The integrated intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) with real-time dimension for viewing transparent structures of the eye during surgery enables confident decision making during vitreoretinal surgery. Additionally, the Digital Color Assistant (DCA) accentuates anatomical details with digital color coding at a click.
Professor Siegfried Priglinger , Head and Chair of the Eye Hospital at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich ( Germany ), explains, "When working with this 3D heads-up system for anterior and posterior segment surgery, including intraoperative OCT, I have experienced the big advantage of preoperative diagnostics and intraoperative work now being connected together. I think this is something you get really comfortable with because you always have it with you in the OR."
Additionally, the Single-use Lenses for the RESIGHT fundus viewing system from ZEISS provide retinal surgeons with a clear and uncompromised view for every surgical procedure in the posterior segment, while also offering all the advantages of disposable lenses. Says Professor Peter Stalmans , a vitreoretinal specialist at UZ Leuven ( Belgium ): "With the Single-use Lenses for ZEISS RESIGHT, I can operate in a way that is safer for patients' eyes. I can reduce my endoillumination to 10 percent without compromising the view and with the new ULTRA WIDE-ANGLE LENS I can remove all the vitreous up to the ora serrata without the need to indent a patient's eye."
DORC, now a ZEISS company, will showcase the EVA NEXUS surgical system as part of the ZEISS Retina Workflow, complementing ZEISS's ophthalmic surgery portfolio by enabling more responsive and precise control for the surgeon. As one of the market's most advanced dual-function, vitreoretinal and cataract surgical systems, the EVA NEXUS platform is the core of a comprehensive vitreoretinal surgery portfolio, comprising a full range of instruments, dyes, and tamponades for a best-in-class solution for vitreoretinal (VR) procedures.
AI tools from ZEISS support streamlined workflows for ophthalmologists by analyzing data at scale, enabling data-driven decisions, and facilitating early detection of diseases. ZEISS currently offers numerous AI-powered solutions for ophthalmology, including automated analysis of diagnostic test data, anomaly and disease detection, classification of disease stage, assessment of change, prediction of future progression, evaluation of data quality, artifact identification, and image quality enhancement.
The company will show CIRRUS PathFinder™, a deep learning AI-based support tool that enables more efficient review of OCT data. Designed to complement the ZEISS Retina Workflow, CIRRUS PathFinder streamlines the review of large volumes of OCT data by identifying scans that may require closer review. ZEISS CIRRUS PathFinder's AI-enabled detection, which is seamlessly integrated into the ZEISS CIRRUS OCT interface, can identify OCT B-scans with macular findings. It also provides insights to optimize treatment paths, improve outcomes, and deliver personalized patient care. ZEISS CIRRUS PathFinder will be available in selected markets, subject to local regulatory clearances, and is currently pending CE mark and FDA clearance.
At EURETINA, ZEISS will also demonstrate a new product for ophthalmologists to review surgery videos pre-recorded with ZEISS surgical microscopes. The ZEISS Surgery Optimizer is an AI-powered application that revolutionizes the use of surgery videos. It simplifies the process of exporting videos from ZEISS CALLISTO eye, allows access to surgery videos via web browser or mobile device , and facilitates documentation and review in an automatically arranged case library. Based on the Surgery Optimizer, a new spatial computing app will be demonstrated as an exclusive experience on Apple Vision Pro. Using an Apple Vision Pro, surgeons can review 2D or 3D surgery videos, scans of the eye, patient information and much more simultaneously, providing a glimpse into the future of ophthalmology.
ZEISS will showcase its new ZEISS Retina Workflow innovations at the EURETINA conference in Barcelona, Spain , from
September 19-22, 2024 , at the International Barcelona Convention Center,
Floor P1 , Booth E3.
