Eye Photo Systems
The software enables staff to photograph a dilated iris during routine pre-op exam and select iris landmarks alongside the entry of target IOL. The surgeon refers to printed landmark images in the OR for locating proper toric orientation.
Portland, OR, March 27, 2015 - Eye Photo Systems, Inc., manufacturer of the EC 100 and EC 90 of high-resolution anterior segment cameras with unparalleled ease of use, has launched the TAO software tool to assist with intraoperative orientation of toric intraocular lenses.
Developed with renowned cataract surgeon Dr. Robert H. Osher, Eye Photo Systems released TAO (Toric Alignment by Osher). The new software tool provides a cost-effective alternative to, or a fail-safe backup for, fully automated systems.
Dr. Osher, Medical Director of the Cincinnati Eye Institute and Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, explains, “The image is easily captured at the slit lamp during the initial dilated examination. The software assigns every unique iris landmark an exact number of degrees assuring accurate orientation.”
“There is plenty of complicated, expensive technology being released for toric alignment, but there is also a need for a simple, powerful, and affordable solution. I think this product hits that mark”, says Dr. Jeremy Graziano, CEO.
Eye Photo Systems officially launched the product at the 2015 Cataract Surgery: Telling It Like It Is conference in Sarasota, Florida. For more information, call Sales at (888) 528-9701.
