Haag-Streit Academy hosts successful ‘Improving Outcomes’ Biometry Courses

The Basic and Advanced ‘Improving Outcomes’ biometry courses are designed to help both beginners and experienced ophthalmic consultants get the most from their biometers. Delegates enjoyed a series of lectures from biometry experts, including Mr David Sculfor, Consultant Optometrist, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and Mr Peter Wilson, Consultant Ophthalmologist, NHS Fife & Forth Valley. Lectures included topics such as, ‘The anatomy of the human eye’, ‘Formulae for IOL power calculation’ and ‘Interpretation of measurement data.’

The courses also offered practical, hands-on workshops that supported a range of subjects, including IOL power calculation, biometry measurement and editing IOL data. In addition, delegates had the opportunity to trial the cataract suite on the new Eyestar 900 swept-source OCT measurement device.

Anna Chen, HS-UK Biometry Product Manager, said, “We are very pleased to have delivered the first event at our new Academy facility in Bishop’s Stortford. This is our first Improving Outcomes Biometry course since the COVID pandemic and we are delighted with how successful it was and the positive feedback received from delegates.”
