• Optical Power: Approximately 22 diopters, with a working distance of 40 mm, suitable for examination through small pupils.
• Ergonomic Design: Non-contact use with an ergonomic design that accommodates various hand sizes, creating an inverted, reversed virtual image of the fundus.

Material Options

Available in both glass and acrylic forms, the lens provides flexibility based on user preference:

• Glass: Offers sharper images but is heavier and more fragile.

Customization and Accessories

Use Cases

This lens is highly effective for:

• Detecting retinal tears, hemorrhages, and other peripheral pathologies.
• Use in both human and veterinary ophthalmology.
• Compatibility with laser indirect ophthalmoscope (LIO) procedures.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper care ensures longevity and performance:

• Cleaning: Use lukewarm or distilled water with pH-neutral soap, and dry with a soft, low-lint cotton cloth.
• Sterilization: High-level disinfection or sterilization is required if contacting sterile tissue, with methods including Ethylene Oxide, Steam, V-Pro®, and others.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry environment, avoiding certain disinfectants that may cause cosmetic discoloration.

Additional Considerations

• Handling: Slightly larger than a 20D lens, requiring a longer working distance.
• Design: Features a metallic rim on some models to indicate the patient-facing side.
• Reprocessing: Ring color may fade after multiple sterilization cycles, though functionality remains unaffected.

The Volk Pan Retinal® 2.2 Lens stands as a vital instrument in the field of ophthalmology, offering precision and versatility for thorough retinal examination and treatment.
