Phototoxic retinal injury in eye surgery
General
Several papers have been published dealing with the problems of phototoxicity during eye surgery. A comprehensive review of these publications
reveals five aspects of particular concern:
G-30-1439-enOPMI® VISU 200 BrightFlex™ Surgical MicroscopeIssue 3.0
Printed on 21. 11. 2002
Page 15
Safety15
In the following, comments on these aspects are given and a description
of how Carl Zeiss, as a manufacturer, makes allowance for them in its instruments.
Studies on exposure of the eye to light of varying spectral composition
date back to the early 1950s. These studies suggest that the potential
hazard of phototoxic injury to the patient's retina can be reduced by
blocking out the blue and ultraviolet light below a wavelength of 475 nm.
Carl Zeiss provides a GG 475 retina protection filter for surgical microscopes recommended for use in ophthalmic surgery. This reduces not
only the light exposure of the patient's eye, but also that of the surgeon's.
It should be noted in this context that the use of filters inevitably leads to
a change in the color of the light. The surgeon may therefore have to get
used to the changed appearance of anatomical structures.
Intensity of illumination
The majority of researchers suggest that the surgeon should use the
lowest light intensity necessary to guarantee good viewing during surgery.
Carl Zeiss has addressed this concern by providing a device for continuously varying the brightness of the light source. This permits the surgeon
to optimally adapt the light intensity at the patient's eye to the conditions
existing in each case. Carl Zeiss strongly discourages the use of xenon or
other high-intensity light sources in ophthalmology.
Angle of illumination
A number of publications suggest that the microscope should be tilted to
reduce the exposure of the macula to direct illumination.
Carl Zeiss ophthalmic surgical microscopes are therefore equipped with
the following:
–Tilting mechanism for the microscope body
–Oblique illumination with brightness control
Focus of the light source
Studies show that injuries are likely to occur if the filament of the light
source is imaged on the patient's retina. The peak intensity of a filament
is considerably higher than the peak intensity of an even and extended
light source such as a fiber guide.
G-30-1439-enOPMI® VISU 200 BrightFlex™ Surgical MicroscopeIssue 3.0
Printedon21.11.2002
Page 16
16Safety
This is the reason why fiber optic illumination is used in surgical microscopes from Carl Zeiss.
Exposure time to light
According to some publications, the phakic or aphakic eye should not be
exposed to the light source longer than a few minutes. In every operation
the exposure of the retina to light is dependent on the type and duration
of surgery and on any complications which occur. It is therefore recommended in ophthalmic surgery to keep the light intensity as low as possible, or to use a device which prevents the light from entering through the
patient's pupil. Also, the surrounding light sources should not cause additional strain to the patient's eye.
Carl Zeiss has provided an answer to this problem in the form of a swingin retinal protection device for insertion into the beam path of the surgical
microscope. This device ensures total eclipsing of the pupil, preventing
light from entering into the patient's eye. It can be swung out when a red
reflex is required.
Intensity scale
The intensity scale of our suspension system is calibrated in units of the
”Spectrally weighted radiance for the photochemical hazard of the phakic
eye (L
L
B
)”
B
is the spectral radiance integrated over the spectral range from 380 nm
to 700 nm and weighted with B(λ):
700
=
∑
L
B
L(λ)B(λ) ∆λ
380
in which B(λ) is the spectral weighting function for the photochemical hazard of the retina of the phakic eye.
The value L
=500mW/cm² sr is the reference value and is defined as
B
1.0 on the intensity scale of the suspension system as recommended in
the ISO 10936-2 standard draft for surgical microscopes used in ophthalmic applications. At this reference value, photoretinitis might be expected to occur from the surgical microscope light source in a total retinal
exposure time of 10 minutes. This applies to the exposure of a specific
point on the retina with an uninterrupted illumination beam. In a cataract
procedure, instruments such as the phacoemulsification handpiece, the
G-30-1439-enOPMI® VISU 200 BrightFlex™ Surgical MicroscopeIssue 3.0

Page 17
Safety17
use of fluids in the eye, manipulation and movement of the eye, among
other factors, result in the interruption of the illumination from the surgical
microscope light source. Such factors would be expected to significantly
extend the time at which photoretinitis might occur.
In conclusion
Carl Zeiss recommends:
–Use of the GG 475 eye protection filter.
–Reduction of the illumination of the surgical area to the extent required
for the patient's safety and for microscopic visualization.
–Tilting of the microscope body as required.
–Insertion of the retinal protection device.
–Maximum reduction of the exposure of the patient's eye to light from
surrounding light sources.
These measures should help the surgeon to reduce the likelihood of phototoxic retinal injury.
Note:
The VISU 150 microscope always contains a UV blocking filter.
The use of this filter ensures that the illumination intensity lies below 50
µW/cm
2
in the range between 305 nm and 400 nm.
These measures help the surgeon to reduce the risk of phototoxic retinal
injury.

VISU 200 BrightFlex™ Surgical Microscope
Intended use
The VISU 200 BrightFlex™ surgical microscope has been designed for
surgical procedures in the field of ophthalmology, i.e. the microscope
meets the special requirements of this discipline.
Description of the modules
The VISU surgical microscope is comprised of the following modules:
1X-Y coupling
The X-Y coupling allows fine, motorized positioning of the surgical microscope in a horizontal plane. The range of travel is 40 mm x 40 mm.
The speed of travel can be set on the display field of the suspension
system.
The X-Y coupling is provided with a recentering mechanism. When
you press the actuator button,
–the X-Y coupling adopts its center position,
–the focusing system of the surgical microscope is reset to its initial
position and
–the zoom system will set a preselected magnification factor if the
XYZ-RESfunctionhasbeenactivated(possiblewithS8suspension systems only).
You can also trigger the recentering movement using the foot control
panel..

2Support arm for the surgical microscope
The support arm incorporates a tilt device. This allows the viewing direction of the surgical microscope to be adapted to the requirements
of the surgical field. Using the knob for fine tilt, you can position the
surgical microscope in a range from +180° to -180° (+ in the direction
of the surgeon and - in the opposite direction). The +90° setting is ideal
for surgery on patients in a seated position or lying on their side.
Caution:
Do not tilt the main microscope beyond + / - 180°,asthiscould
damage the microscope cable or the light guide.
3Main microscope
The apochromatic optics of the main microscope provide superb optical quality. The microscope image displays optimum contrast and excellent detail recognition along with a large depth of field. The bright
microscope image is a particular benefit in vitreoretinal surgery. A 1:6
ratio zoom system allows the magnification of the overall system to be
set as required by the surgical procedure.
Two apochromatic objective lenses with focal lengths of 175 mm and
200 mm are available for different working distances.
A180° tiltable tube is used as a viewing device for the surgeon. The
large tilt range allows work with minimum fatigue.
The standard equipment includes eyepieces with a magnification
factor of 12.5x (option: 10x).
The illumination system has been designed for use in ophthalmology.
A light guide directs the light from the light source in the suspension
system to the surgical microscope.
6° illumination can be continuously faded in. This allows the illumination intensity in the surgical field to be adjusted continuously, without
changing the color of the light. The illumination of the surgical field at
an angle of 6° produces an image with an outstanding impression of
depth.
An additional illumination system produces an intensive red reflex
even when the eye is decentered. The angle of illumination can be
switched from +2° to -2°.

24Description
To protect the patient's eye against photo-retinitis, a retinal protection device is provided. This device can be swung into the illumination beam
path, if no red reflex is required.
At the light source integrated in the stand, a GG 475 eye protection filter
can be swung into the illumination beam path. This filter markedly reduces
the exposure of the patient's and surgeon's eyes to radiation.
A video camera from our MediLive video camera line can be optionally
connected to the VISU 200 surgical microscope. The light loss for the surgeon is only 20% and cannot be perceived subjectively.
Caution!
–Avoid looking directly into the light source, e.g. into the microscope ob-
jective lens or into the light guide!
–When selecting the brightness level for the patient's eye, always take
caretokeepthestrainonthepatient'seyetoaminimum.
–If the red reflex is not necessary, move the retinal protection device
into the beam path. Only use the retro-illumination contrast stop, if the
surgical procedure requires a red reflex.
–When operating on the eye, always use a GG 475 eye protection filter
to ensure that the patient's retina is not exposed to unnecessary (blue)
radiation (retinal injury)!

40° assistant's microscope
The assistant's microscope is an integral part of the VISU 200 BrightFlex™ surgical microscope, i.e. it cannot be separated from the main
microscope. The assistant sees the same image as the main surgeon.
The system's excellent image quality is also available to the assistant.
The assistant's microscope has two working positions. They are located on the right and left of the main surgeon at an angle of 90° to the
main surgeon's viewing direction. No locking mechanism has been
provided, allowing the assistant to move the microscope by a certain
amount out of the 90° position, if necessary.
Warning!
To prevent the assistant's microscope from moving downward of its
own accord when the main microscope is being tilted, the assistant's
microscope must be adjusted and locked in position using screw (5)
before surgery.
The assistant's microscope is equipped with a focusing system and a
5-step magnification changer. This enables the assistant to adjust his
microscope image independently of the main surgeon.
The binocular tube can be turned by ± 12° about the optical axis of the
assistant's microscope. In addition, the assistant's microscope can be
tilted by 15°. If the assistant finds the viewing angle too steep, an optical wedge (option) can be installed between the microscope body
and the binocular tube to permit horizontal viewing.
The standard equipment includes eyepieces with a magnification
factor of 10x, providing a low initial magnification. This provides the
benefit of a wide field of view and an improved overview of the surgical
field. The assistant sees the red reflex in both eyepieces.
5Locking screw for assistant's microscope
After adjusting the assistant's microscope as required, secure it in position using this screw.

Illumination system
6° illumination
You can continuously fade out the 6° illumination. This results in markedly
reduced reflection from the cornea, while providing nevertheless a highcontrast, informative microscope image.
For cataract surgery, we recommend opening the 6° illumination system
approx. 25%.
2° illumination
You can switch the illumination from +2° to -2°. This ensures good visibility of the red reflex even when the patient's eye is decentered.
16° illumination and 2° illumination
22° illumination with centered patient's eye
Here, the red reflex is clearly visible in both positions (+2° and -2°).
32° illumination with decentered patient's eye
The red reflex is no longer visible at +2°. After switching to -2°,thered
reflex is again clearly visible.

Maintenance / Further information65
Cleaning optical surfaces
The multilayer T* (T-star) coating of our optical components (e.g. eyepieces, objective lenses) results in optimum image quality.
Image quality is impaired by even slight contamination of the optics or by
a fingerprint. In order to protect the internal optics from dust, the instrument should never be left without the objective lens, binocular tube and
eyepieces installed when it is not in use. Always store objective lenses,
eyepieces and accessories which are not being used in dust-free cases.
The external surfaces of optical components (eyepieces, objective
lenses) should only be cleaned when required:
•Do not use any chemical cleaning agents.
•Blow off dust on the optical surfaces using a squeeze blower or re-
move the dust using a clean and grease-free brush.
Fogging of optical surfaces
To protect the eyepiece optics from fogging, we recommend using an
anti-fogging agent.
Note:
Anti-fogging agents provided by eyecare professionals for use with eyeglass lenses are also suitable for Zeiss eyepieces.
•Please observe the instructions for use supplied with each anti-fogging agent.
Anti-fogging agents do not only ensure fog-free optics. They also clean
the eyepiece optics and protect them against dirt, grease, dust, fluff and
fingerprints.
Cleaning mechanical surfaces
All mechanical surfaces of the equipment can be cleaned by wiping with
a moist cloth. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
Wipe off any residue with a mixture of 50% ethyl alcohol and 50% distilled
water plus a dash of household dish-washing liquid.

Sterilization
The asepsis sets available from Carl Zeiss contain rubber caps, sleeves
and handgrips which can be sterilized in autoclaves. We recommend the
following program for sterilization:
Sterilization temperature:134° C
Sterilization time:10 minutes
Sterile single-use drapes are available to cover the instrument.
Note
:
When draping the system, make sure there is enough slack in the drapes
to allow for movement of the microscope carrier and surgical microscope.
It is especially important that the drapes are completely loose around the
handgrips. The surgeon must be able to operate the keys through the
drape.
