FAQ

Beyeonics One is the pioneering head mounted, augmented-reality visualization system. It was adapted from cutting-edge head mounted display technologies originally developed for fighter pilots. Its inherent attributes provide key differentiators vs other digitally enhanced visualization systems available:

1. Exceptional image – the Beyeonics One combines super high-resolution cameras, powerful image processing and top-notch display optics to deliver an exceptional image. Thanks to the strong processing core, the proprietary graphic accelerator enables massive image enhancement capabilities without introducing any perceived image lag (latency is less than 20 milliseconds).
2. Immersive display – the Beyeonics One headset allows you to focus uninterrupted on the surgical field while maintaining your peripheral vision and OR awareness. If you have previously experienced motion sickness with standard 3D screens, you will be pleasantly surprised with the Beyeonics
   natural and effortless 3D experience.
3. Panning – The Beyeonics AR system uses ultra-high-resolution cameras that provide a unique advantage as well as a sharp and crisp image. Unlike conventional microscopes, the displayed magnification can be performed on any part of the image and not just at the center of view. It is extremely beneficial for retina surgery, viewing through a wide lens provides better peripheral visualization. Using the Beyeonics system the surgeon can magnify areas of the retina without the need for any rotation of the patient eye relative to the wide lens, thus preserving the sharp, high quality image. Connecting the surgeon head movements to control the area under magnification, provides a unique panning function for easily viewing high quality, high detailed retina imagery of both the center and the periphery.
4. Unlimited Information access – patient files, patient files, diagnostic data and images, phaco / vitrectomy settings and more: any recorded information you may desire is presented upon demand, either overlaid with the live image or on one of several side-screens. Simply turn your head to switch to a side-screen and scroll within folders and files.
5. Improved ergonomics – with the Beyeonics One headset you are not constrained to the unnatural posture that is dictated by a screen-type solution, and can comfortably move your head without losing sight of the surgical field.
6. Head gesture control – the unique footswitch-enabled head gesture control allows for intuitive and easy control over all system functions.
7. Minimal OR setup – having the image displayed via a head-wearable device, as opposed to a standard 3D monitor, not only provides superior visualization and enhanced comfort: the system also occupies less space in the OR and requires less OR setup when switching between OD/OS cases.

The transition from an analog microscope to a digital system introduces new capabilities which allow more informed decision-making during surgery, which ultimately result in improved surgical outcomes. Beyeonics One is the latest development in the field. It provides Superior visualization, seamless information integration and intuitive workflow. All this while performing complicated
surgery with ease and comfort.

Yes. The Beyeonics One is designed to support all types of surgeries* with no adjustments. The system automatically switches the settings, based on surgeon preferences, providing seamless and fast transition between retina, cataract, glaucoma and cornea surgeries.
*The system supports the Oculus BIOM 5 for posterior segment surgery.

1. High quality image – the headset delivers an exceptional high-resolution 3D image of the surgical field, which is equivalent to viewing a 65-inch screen from 1.5 meters away.
2. Good peripheral view – see clearly beyond the surgical field. Your hands, the OR and surgical tools are all visible in your peripheral view.
3. Communication – the headset display background can turn transparent upon
   demand, facilitating communication between you and your staff.
4. Immersive experience -the image is present in front of your eyes regardless of your posture. You are no longer bound to the microscope oculars or a specific posture to see a screen, you can move freely and relax while maintaining the surgical field of view.

The headset design is inspired by fighter pilot helmet technology and ergonomics. It is light weight and balances well on your head to allow for comfortable and prolonged wear throughout your day.
Adjustment straps and IPD settings on the headset allow for a comfortable fit of the headset to your head size and shape. It takes only a few seconds to adjust it on your head before surgery. When wearing the headset, you can move freely and relax while maintaining the surgical field of view.

The head gesture control works in conjunction with a foot pedal, which now serves as a selecting device while the head gesture itself controls the selected attribute. The head gesture control grants multiple advantages:

• Intuitive – for example, zooming is performed by tilting your head slightly up or down as you intuitively do when trying to look at something closer.
• Quicker fine-tuning – focus is achieved faster as there is no overshooting. The focus doesn’t change at a constant speed like with the traditional footswitch, but rather the rate of change depends on the speed of your head motion.
• Enhanced surgeon independence – immediate access to information without staff assistant. Using head gestures, you can select and activate applications, digital filters, display information additional screens and more.

The head gestures are a novel way of introducing more accurate control and fine-tuning of the displayed image. Equipped with tracking sensors, the headset senses surgeon head movements, enabling a new level of control.

The system is user friendly to both the surgeon and staff. Usually surgeons feel confident to operate after a 20-minute dry run session, and after only a few cases the duration of operations returns to normal

Surgeons who operated with the system reported that the following attributes helped streamline their workflow:
Reduced eye, back and neck fatigue

• A sharp and clear image is always displayed, without tiring the eyes, and regardless to your sitting posture or viewing direction.
• The surgeon has the flexibility to sit in a relaxed position and moves his/ her head and neck periodically due to the head gestures and interaction with the staff.
  Communication with the staff and teaching capabilities
• The headset display background turns transparent upon demand, facilitating communication between the surgeon and his staff.
• Up to 3 headsets connect at the same time: this is especially useful in teaching hospitals.
• You will be able to show your surgery in real time to a remote computer or monitor outside of the surgery room. You will also be able to interact with the viewers in or out of the surgery room by presenting digital markers on the surgery image. This presents new teaching capabilities.
  Increased independence
• You are able to pull in information onto additional screens, upon demand.
• Seamless transition between retina, cataract, glaucoma and cornea.
• Easy upload of surgeon, nurse, and staff preferences.

The long extension arm of the digital microscope will give you the flexibility to position the Beyeonics One cart at any location that is comfortable to you in the operating room. The cart is the only equipment to position (it has a foot print of your regular microscope). No screen carts or other stations. Once you did that there is no need to move the cart anymore. It will fit all surgery cases and for OD/OS. The cart even has a touch screen monitor that can be positioned for staff viewing. The head set has a dedicated cradle on the cart to stow it before and after surgery.
