Volk HRX Vit Lens Delivers Extreme Wide Views
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.
