RUBENSTEIN
LRI KNIFE
Accutome
Inc. introduces its latest Limbal Relaxing Incision Diamond Knife, the Rubenstein
LRI Knife. This knife, developed by Jonathan Rubenstein, MD, has a low profile,
winged footplate that allows full view of the blade during incision. The footplate
allows the blade to glide across the corneal epithelium and gives the user extreme
control of the blade. The preset diamond blade is permanently set to either 600,
550 or 500 microns. Accutome also offers a Shorti handle, which can be used under
the slit lamp. The "in office" short handle version is quite effective for those
who do next day astigmatism correction.

MACUCHEK's
MACUSCOPE aids in early detection of low macular pigment, one of the primary risk
factors for age-related macular degeneration. The MACUSCOPE is the only affordable
commercial instrument available today that accurately tracks pigment density changes
in the macula, giving medical professionals the ability to place patients into either
high-risk or low-risk categories. MACUSCOPE gives medical professionals an opportunity
to take a proactive approach to using a less than 5-minute, noninvasive painless
exam. The MACUSCOPE is user-friendly for all eyecare and medical specialists, including
general and family practitioners for basic physical examinations. The MACUSCOPE
uses flicker photometry, the only scientifically validated method of measuring macular
pigment density.
