Volk Optical products

The Rapid SLT is equipped with four totally internal reflective surfaces that provide high-detail views of all four quadrants of the angle structures. Thus, SLT procedure time is reduced in half as the need to rotate the lens on the patient’s eye is drastically minimized thus enhancing patient comfort. The contact surface is designed to provide patient comfort while maintaining the required control and stability of the lens over the ocular surface. The size of the lens allows manipulation within the orbit as well as between the laser and the patient’s eye, enhancing the doctor’s ease-of-use.

This lens is a classic one mirror design lens that provides a large, clear view of the angle structures for performing SLT procedures to lower intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma. This lens is designed for compatibility when used with a frequency doubled Q switched Nd:YAG laser. The lens has to be rotated gently on the patient’s eye to aim the laser at the various sections of iridocorneal angle. The 1.0x magnification of this lens helps maintain the laser spot size and density during laser delivery.

Perhaps the most recognized lens around the world, the Volk 20D is the lens that started the legacy of double aspheric lens design for BIO and is still considered as a gold standard. The contributing factors for this are the perfect balance of field of view and magnification of the 20D. The working distance of 50 mm also makes lens manipulation a comfortable experience for the examiner. This lens is perfect for general diagnosis of patients with a 3x magnification and field of view that allows visualization up to the mid peripheral region. The dynamic examination with the appropriate eye movements by the patients allows viewing of the peripheral retina as well as detailed examination by BIO in the primary position provides a comprehensive estimate of retinal health. Thus, this lens is a great choice both as a first line of diagnosis as well as a high level central retinal examination.

With a wide field of view, this lens offers visualization past the mid peripheral region up to the equator and the peripheral retina upon dynamic examination. The optical design and power of this lens makes it a great choice when working with patients that have a small pupil or do not respond well to dilation such as infants or older populations. The small profile as well as a closer working distance make enable the doctor to easily manipulate the lens for a quick examination, especially with patients who may not remain still for a long time. Most widely used for examination and assessment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and peripheral retinal defects such as tears and detachments.  

3-Mirror, All-Glass Design; 60° mirror provides a view of the iridocorneal angle. 66° mirror provides a retinal image from the equator to the ora serrata. 76° mirror provides a view of the mid-peripheral/peripheral retina. Available in two formats: flanged (recommended for laser trabeculoplasty) and no flanged (recommended for routine gonioscopy). This three mirror Goldman-style lens equipped with unbeatable Volk optics is a must have for every Glaucoma specialist.
