Will a laser damage the lens when used for a therapeutic procedure?

Question 4

Can I reuse these single-use lenses?

Accepted Answer

No. Single-use lenses are not supported for reuse.

Question 5

Can I disinfect or re-process the reusable aspheric lenses for use in the OR?

Accepted Answer

No. The reusable bi-aspheric lenses are non-contact lenses designed for use in the clinic. A lens cloth is supplied to remove dust and fingerprints. Per the Instructions for Use (IFU), the lenses can be cleaned with mild soap and water if required.

Question 6

What would happen to the reusable lens if I re-sterilize it?

Accepted Answer

The materials used for the optics of our lenses are not designed for heat sterilization and will deform if autoclaved. The use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners will deteriorate the optic’s coatings and mirrors.

Question 7

Do you have a Swan-Jacob lens for the OR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our surgical gonio prism (K30-1405 for use in left hand, K30-1400 for use in right hand) lens is the equivalent to a Swan-Jacob lens.

Question 8

The reusable lenses feel lighter in weight. Why is that?

Accepted Answer

The material for the optics is PMMA. This material is lighter than traditional glass lenses.
