Introduction: Precision Meets Innovation

Modern refractive cataract surgery relies on cutting-edge technology that ensures precision, accuracy, and predictable outcomes. Among these advancements are the LENSAR™ Laser System and Adimec’s high-performance cameras, which work together to deliver exceptional surgical results. These tools represent a significant leap forward in ophthalmic innovation, enabling surgeons to achieve unparalleled levels of precision in their procedures.

The LENSAR™ Laser System: Purpose-Built for Refractive Cataract Surgery

The LENSAR™ Laser System stands out as one of the few femtosecond lasers specifically designed exclusively for refractive cataract surgery. Unlike generic laser systems, it was developed from scratch with a singular focus on meeting the needs of cataract surgeons. This ground-up approach ensures that every component is optimized for precision and accuracy during surgical procedures, ultimately optimizing visual outcomes for patients.

Augmented Reality™ 3-D Imaging: Bringing Precision to Life

At the heart of LENSAR’s advanced capabilities lies its proprietary Augmented Reality (AR) 3-D imaging system, powered by Adimec’s QUARTZ Qs-4A60 camera. This technology captures high-resolution ocular images through a sophisticated scanning process that rotates around multiple optical positions, effectively gathering data from up to sixteen different angles.

By combining optical ray-tracing with comprehensive biometric measurements, the system constructs detailed 3-D models of each patient’s eye before surgery is even performed. This preoperative modeling allows for confident and precise laser delivery throughout the procedure, enabling surgeons to achieve ultimate accuracy while delivering reliable outcomes in a single operation room visit.

Technical Specifications: Powering Surgical Excellence

Adimec offers specialized camera families tailored explicitly for surgical applications within the LENSAR system:

  • QUARTZ Qs OEM Series: These high-resolution global shutter CMOS cameras deliver exceptional image quality with up to 4 Megapixels at 60 fps or 2 Megapixels at 120 fps via Camera Link Base connections. Operating in a compact form factor, these cameras provide dynamic range capabilities reaching 90 dB and feature significant shot noise reduction—essential for maintaining image integrity during surgical procedures.

  • QUARTZ Qs-4A60: Specifically designed to support LENSAR’s AR system requirements, this camera provides the imaging performance consistency needed for FDA-approved surgical systems that demand precise tool matching capabilities across multiple operating rooms.

Complementary Imaging Solutions: Expanding Capabilities

Beyond the high-resolution QUARTZ cameras, Adimec’s A-1000 model serves as a valuable complement within the LENSAR Laser System ecosystem. This 1-megapixel interline transfer CCD camera operates at 50 fps and provides reliable alignment assistance during surgery through its worldwide deployment track record across various medical applications—a testament to its proven performance characteristics in demanding surgical environments.

A Legacy of Collaboration: Driving Surgical Innovation Forward

For years, Adimec has partnered closely with LENSAR to provide consistently accurate imaging solutions that enable the most advanced surgical technologies available today. This long-standing professional relationship underscores a shared commitment to advancing cataract surgery through technological innovation while maintaining uncompromising standards for reliability and precision in clinical practice worldwide.
