News & Events

We appreciate everyone that participated in our breakfast symposium on Saturday to listen to Drs. Rolando Toyos, William Trattler, Michael Belin, and H. John Shammas along with those that stopped by our booth. We look forward to seeing you next year in Las Vegas!

This year marks 20 years of service and we look forward to 20 more! Thank you to all who have helped us get this far.

You're invited to learn more about the updated Belin ABCD Progression Display and advancements in tracking the progression of Keratoconus. We'll also discuss how to utilize the OCULUS Pentacam® for premium cataract surgery and IOL selection. Space is limited! Click here to reserve your seat today.

“You have dedicated your entire working life to OCULUS”, says Co-Director Christian Kirchhübel, in his speech at his father’s 40th work anniversary at the company on 1 February 2019 in Wetzlar-Dutenhofen. “You have taken on all the challenges, and you lead the company with level-headedness and foresight. Your visions have led us to many successes."

In his speech, Rainer Kirchhübel looks only briefly at the past: “For 38 of my 40 years at OCULUS, I’ve been the Director. These years saw many great challenges, but I always enjoyed it.” From his start at the firm in 1979, engineer Rainer Kirchhübel led it to success as a worldwide high-tech company, and OCULUS is still a family company. Sons Christian and Matthias are executives at the company, and wife Rita Kirchhübel has been Director of Marketing for over 25 years.

Mr. Andreas Tielmann, Managing Director of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in Lahn-Dill, presents Rainer Kirchhübel with a certificate in honour of his 40th work anniversary.

All from OCULUS say: Thank you, Mr Kirchhübel!"

As of September 2018 the OCULUS Keratograph® 5M comes equipped with a new joystick including a release function. This enables the user to capture images and video sequences with the simple push of a button on the device. No need any more to switch to the mouse – the user’s hand stays resting on the new joystick.

All new OCULUS Keratograph® 5M units will be delivered with the new joystick as a standard feature. Customers who already have a Keratograph® 5M can order the new joystick as a retrofit and install it themselves very easily.

The Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 Special Recognition Awards. The ASCO Rising Star Award, sponsored by OCULUS, is given to an outstanding faculty member or administrator with less than seven years of service. Dr. Andrew D. Pucker is recognized for his outstanding contributions to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, School of Optometry, through teaching, scholarship, administration and professional service and most notably in contributions to ASCO’s Biomedical Educators Special Interest Group.
