Description

The Volk 78D Lens is an essential tool for ophthalmic professionals, crafted by Volk Optical to enhance the precision of retinal examinations. This non-contact slit lamp lens is specifically designed for detailed fundus imaging, making it invaluable for diagnosing and treating retinal conditions.

Key Features

• Double Aspheric Glass Optics: The patented design provides superior imaging quality, offering a clear view of the central and mid-retinal regions.
• High Magnification: With a 0.93x image magnification and 1.08x laser spot magnification, it allows for detailed examination of the optic disc and posterior pole.
• Wide Field of View: Offers an 81° static and 97° dynamic field of view, facilitating comprehensive retinal assessments.
• Non-Contact Design: Ensures comfort and safety by eliminating direct contact with the eye.

Compatibility and Customization

The lens is compatible with all standard slit lamp models, providing versatility across various clinical settings. It features a large ring size and is available in multiple ring colors, including Black, Blue, Gold, and more. Custom engraving options are available, allowing up to 14 characters on the lens and 17 on the lens case.

Material and Coating

Constructed with high-quality glass optics and BBAR anti-reflective laser coating, the lens excels in diagnostic imaging and laser procedures. The included presentation case ensures safe storage and transport.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance involves cleaning with lukewarm or distilled water and gentle soap, followed by drying with a lint-free cotton cloth. Disinfection is compatible with specific products like CaviWipes and Tristel Duo OPH. Sterilization options include Ethylene Oxide and Sterrad® systems, though autoclaving is not recommended.

Storage and Longevity

Store the lens in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. While colored rings may discolor with certain disinfectants, this does not impact functionality. The lens should not be used if damaged, and adherence to cleaning instructions will ensure long-term performance.

Additional Information

Part of Volk’s Classic Series, the 78D Lens is suitable for use with both dilated and undilated pupils, though dilation is recommended for optimal imaging. It serves as a reliable instrument for ophthalmologists, particularly in managing glaucoma and other posterior pole abnormalities. The lens’s end of life is determined by wear or damage, with minimal impact from proper reprocessing.
