At the ESCRS 2014 ZEISS is offering cataract surgeons a greater diversity
of products for enhanced safety and presenting a new product line for basic
diagnostics

At the summer meeting of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive
Surgery (ESCRS), which is taking place this year in London in combination
with EURETINA, ZEISS is presenting innovative additions to its extensive
product portfolio for cataract surgery. The offering for basic diagnostics
is being expanded. The IOLMaster(R) 700 with SWEPT Source Biometry(TM) and
the CT LUCIA(R) IOL are being added to the product line for intraocular
lens implantation. ZEISS will also be showing major additions to its
offerings of retina and glaucoma diagnostic products. In the field of
refractive laser surgery more and more users all over the world are opting
for SMILE, the third generation of laser vision correction. ZEISS is
benefiting from increased numbers of users.

As one highlight of this year's meeting, ZEISS is presenting the first
system with SWEPT Source Biometry: in addition to optical biometry, the
IOLMaster 700 delivers OCT images over the entire length of the eye.
According to the experts, this information will enable a reduction in
refractive surprises in cataract treatment and permit more reliable
results. Compared to current techniques in which the measuring result is
derived from an A-scan curve, the image-based measurement of the IOLMaster
700 offers more certainty to both doctor and patient. The anticipated
refractive result can be more reliably predicted.

As in the standard-setting IOLMaster 500, the system simplifies the
workflow of toric IOL implantation by capturing a reference image of the
limbal blood vessels, with the aid of which the cylinder axis can be
displayed intraoperatively into the eyepiece of the surgical microscope as
a navigation aid for the surgeon. This means that the new IOLMaster will
be an important component of the ZEISS Cataract Suite markerless that
provides surgeons with a smooth workflow in the implantation of
high-quality intraocular lenses.

ZEISS now offers its customers with even more possibilities for the
