New technology for eye surgery
HYDERABAD: Maxivision Eyecare hospital has introduced the VICTUS Femtosecond laser platform in the City. The Victus is a result of an extensive research conducted and improvisation proposed by Kasu Prasad Reddy.Maxivision brought to India the Victus by Technolas Perfect Vision, leading German laser company and Trivitron.
Maxivison completed 450 eye operations without a complication. Femtosecond laser cataract surgery may cost `30,000 in addition to existing costs of cataract surgery. The 95 per cent hands-free equipment will enable ophthalmologists to perform computer-controlled precise, accurate and reproducible incisions compared to the current manual procedures. The accuracy would be 100 per cent compared to 83 per cent accuracy in manual procedures and the duration of surgery also would come down to five minutes from 10 minutes, reducing several associated costs.
The Victus suit costs around `10 crore and supports cataract, cornea and other surgeries. This Victus suit could replace multiple units that were operating now for different surgeries, said Kasu Prasad Reddy, Co-Chairman, Medort Maxivison Group.
The equipment will be available in Chennai and New Delhi hospitals in next three to six months. Technolas perfect vision, German company, has invested $50 million in clinical research and expecting a breakeven in four years by exporting equipment to different countries.
