H-R Wide Field Lens delivers detailed pan retinal views
Mentor, Ohio (April 28, 2009) – Volk Optical, the industry leader in aspheric optics, will be exhibiting at the 112th AOA Congress, June 25 through 27 at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center in Washington D.C.

Stop by Volk’s booth for an eye-opening demonstration of a new contact lens for retinal exams. Volk’s H-R Wide Field provides a superior view to the non-contact slit lamp, BIO, and mirrored lenses traditionally used for retinal exams.  Distortion-free across the entire viewing area, the lens’ extremely wide field capability provides highly detailed views to visualize retinal tears or lesions across the entire retinal surface, all the way to the ora serrata.  No non-contact lens exam method is able to achieve this level of image clarity and detail.

Also of interest at the show will be Volk’s Digital non-contact lenses for both slit lamp and BIO use.  The lenses assure optical quality and maintain linear image magnifications and image clarity across the entire field of view.  The Digital High Mag® delivers true 3D views of the posterior pole, while the Digital Wide Field® offers the widest, high resolution field of view imaging past the vortex.

In addition to the lenses listed above, Volk’s exhibit at booth 1110 will feature its entire line of diagnostic ophthalmic lenses, equipment, and accessories.  Products to purchase and take home will be available at special show incentive pricing.

High resolution extreme field indirect contact surgical lens
Mentor, Ohio (April 21, 2009) – For indirect image viewing of the entire retina during vitreoretinal surgical procedures, Volk Optical’s new HRX (High Resolution eXtreme field) Vit Lens offers unmatched imaging.  The super-wide field lens ensures visualization of retinal pathologies to the ora serrata with high index glass construction for crisp image quality.

For vitreo-retinal surgeons who prefer to conduct surgery with an indirect contact surgical lens and reinverter, the traditional standard has been the 127° field offered by Volk’s Mini Quad and the 134° field of the Mini Quad XL.  With this new lens, Volk has been able to expand the field of view to 150° for even greater peripheral visualization and treatment power at .43x image magnification. 

The HRX Vit lens delivers this super wide view without compromising image quality.  High grade, high refractive index glass ensures optical quality.  Volk’s patented double aspheric design maintains linear image magnification and image clarity across the entire field of view.

With a low profile and reduced size housing, the HRX Vit facilitates surgical procedures and instrument manipulation.  The lens is available in either a standard contact option or Volk’s patented SSV® (Self Stabilizing Vitrectomy) design.  SSV lenses contact directly to the cornea, eliminating the need for suture or stabilizing rings and reducing associated patient discomfort and surgical prep time.
