■ Oculus’s Gonio Ready allows MIGS surgeons to attach the gonio lens to the microscope. Without needing to hold the lens, they can perform 2-handed surgery.
“Being able to use both hands for the MIGS operation opens up new possibilities for surgeons and adds a degree of safety for both the surgeon and the patient,” said Oculus CEO Christian Kirchhübel in a news release. “Our new Gonio Ready will benefit anyone already using a gonio lens.”
The gonio lens is attached to the microscope via an adapter with a flexible neck, called the Flex System, which avoids additional pressure against the patient’s eye. Gonio Ready’s Flex System can be moved around during MIGS but is stable enough so as not to be inadvertently displaced, the company stated. It is a single-use device.
