Dr Wolfgang Haigis, distinguished physicist, passed away on 15 October 2019 at the age of 72 . He was a pioneer of biometry. Without his formula, cataract surgery would certainly not be what it is today. The Haigis formula has been part of the software of all OCULUS Pentacam® models since 2016. The OCULUS team valued the open and constructive exchange of ideas with this exceptional scientist.
The death of Dr Haigis is a great loss not only to his family, but also to the community and field of ophthalmology.

OCULUS and BHVI (Brien Holden Vision Institute) are pleased to announce an agreement that will see OCULUS incorporate BHVI’s algorithms for tracking and estimating refractive error into its Myopia Master® ophthalmic instruments developed for the management of myopia.

Christian Kirchhübel, CEO of OCULUS says: “Through working with and incorporating BHVI’s unique technology into our Myopia Master®, we can continue to deliver world class instruments to our clients. We are delighted that the Myopia Master® device will make some of the knowledge generated by BHVI with expansive datasets accessible to eye specialists around the world.”
