Haag-Streit UK Enjoys a Successful Optrafair 2018

Haag-Streit UK (HS-UK), the leading manufacturer and distributor of gold-standard optometry and ophthalmic equipment, enjoyed a very successful Optrafair 2018, which was held at the Birmingham NEC on Sat 14th to Mon 16th April 2018.

HARLOW, UK (PRWEB UK) 19 April 2018

For the duration of the Optrafair show, HS-UK presented a very special Eidon promotion; any eye care professional who visited the HS-UK stand and undertook a demonstration of the device received a free retinal scan and a copy of CenterVue’s ‘Clinical Atlas’.

Grahame Wood, HS-UK National Sales Manager, commented, “The Eidon was undoubtedly the ‘star of the show’. It boasts fully-automated high-quality, wide-field, true colour confocal imaging using white light to capture the retina through small pupils and media opacities.” Grahame continued, “Traditional retinal cameras use a 45° view, and may leave some pathology unseen and undocumented, however, the Eidon’s 60-150° high-resolution, wide-field view enables the user to image and document more pathologies. It also provides three different imaging modalities (true colour, infrared and autofluorescence), a unique confocal view of the retina and dilation-free operation.”

Grahame added, “Many delegates requested a demonstration of the device and were extremely impressed with the Eidon’s wide-field capability and the quality of the retinal images achieved.”

A large selection of the HS-UK product portfolio was also showcased at the 3-day event, including; the prestigious BQ 900 LED slit lamp, with additional IM 900 imaging module and the Fundus Module 300, which allows integrated non-mydriatic retinal imaging, as part of the regular slit lamp examination. Other products included the; AngioVue OCT-A and iScan OCT devices; DRS retinal camera; and the Octopus 600 perimeter. The HS-UK Team performed many demonstrations of these devices throughout the show.

In addition to demonstrating this state-of-the-art optometry equipment, HS-UK also hosted a number of on-stand clinical education seminars and workshops. Session topics included; 'True Colour & Infrared Confocal Wide-field Imaging', 'Glaucoma Function & Structure' and the 'Slit Lamp Masterclass'. Attendees were eligible to receive 2 CET points for each course and the HS-UK Clinical Education and Training (CEaT) Team received excellent feedback on course content and the quality of the speakers.

Grant Duncan, HS-UK Clinical Education and Training Manager, commented, “The 3 courses were so successful that we could not accommodate everyone who wanted to attend. The HS-UK CeAT Team host various courses UK-wide, throughout the year, I would recommend that people periodically visit the HS-UK website to review the courses we have on offer”.

Haag-Streit sister company IPRO also exhibited on stand F32, and unveiled the latest developments to the 3D refraction system, PASKAL 3D. This now includes a new test series for multi-focal contact lenses and test series for children and teens.
