ZEISS Medical Technology has announced the broad U.S. distribution of the MICOR® 700, the first hand-held ultrasound-free lens removal device. This revolutionary device uses the ZEISS NULEX (non-ultrasonic lens extraction) procedure to broaden surgeons' intraocular working space, minimize risk to surrounding eye structures, and increase operating room efficiency.

Key features of the ZEISS MICOR 700 include:

• Patented crystalline lens extraction technology
• Blunt and rounded tip design
• Single-use "plug & play" system with minimal O.R. footprint
• Less thermal energy delivery than phaco
• Cavitation-free lens removal
• Disposable fluidics system to mitigate cross-contamination risk

The device is FDA approved and commercially available in the U.S. It will be demonstrated at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) conference from Oct. 19 – 21, 2024, in Chicago.

ZEISS Medical Technology is showcasing innovative solutions for retinal patient care at EURETINA 2024. Key highlights include:

• The ARTEVO 850 3D digital visualization system for ophthalmic surgery, offering customizable 3D visualization and integrated intraoperative OCT
• Single-use Lenses for ZEISS RESIGHT fundus viewing system
• The EVA NEXUS surgical system from DORC for vitreoretinal and cataract procedures
• CIRRUS PathFinder, an AI-based tool for efficient OCT data review
• A new spatial computing app for Apple Vision Pro, allowing surgeons to review 2D/3D surgery videos and patient information

These innovations aim to improve diagnosis, treatment efficiency, and patient outcomes in retinal care.

ZEISS Medical Technology is showcasing its latest innovations at the ESCRS conference, highlighting advancements in cataract and corneal refractive workflows. Key developments include:
