Turkey Vision Fact:

Did you know a turkey's eyes are like high-tech binoculars? Turkeys have a vast field of view and acute daytime color vision; they can even see UV light. This helps them spot predators and forage for food with excellent precision during the day. They have trouble seeing at night and lack the depth perception that humans have.

Preeya Gupta , MD, calls the Elara 900 slit lamp "futuristic", and after hearing about her experience, you'll understand why.

In this video, Dr. Gupta, shares exactly how this technology is transforming her practice, making day-to-day operations more efficient, comfortable, and even "fun."

She highlights the features that matter most to both clinicians and patients:

Ergonomics: How the tabletop cutout and angled oculars virtually eliminate back and neck strain.

Image Quality: Why Preeya feels like she's seeing down to the individual corneal epithelium cell level, allowing for more precise diagnosis.

Workflow Efficiency: The power of presets and the one-touch fluorescein filter to speed up every exam.

Patient Education: Using the integrated image-taking ability to foster better doctor-patient interaction and understanding.

The Elara 900 is truly an improved experience, patient after patient.

Do you want to illuminate smarter, not just brighter? Meet Elara 900.

Outdated light sources shouldn't limit the clarity of your examination. The Elara 900 features a revolutionary projector light source ("P-Type") that emits colors across the entire visible spectrum.

This means you can:

• Precisely select color temperatures tailored to individual pathologies.

• Utilize more illumination modes than systems with only traditional LED or halogen lighting.

The result is a high-resolution, high-contrast examination that dramatically aids in the examination of ocular structures. Plus, with customizable presets, your workflow just got a whole lot smoother. Stop squinting, start seeing the difference.
