Beyeonics One Introduces ‘Invisible Light’ Infrared Illumination

Israel’s Beyeonics Vision announced Oct. 8 that it had incorporated “invisible light” technology, based on infrared night vision, into the Beyeonics One surgical visualization system.

Beyeonics said that surgeons can now see unprecedented clarity and detail, with improvements in depth of field, tissue definition, and resolution.  

The company said the illumination also improves patient comfort, in that it doesn’t rely on high-intensity visible light. And unlike standard LED lighting, the infrared illumination can penetrate dense cataracts, hemorrhages, and cloudy corneas, saving costs on dyes and other visualization agents, Beyeonics said.

The Beyeonics One, which has US FDA clearance and CE marking, features an ultra-resolution camera that processes and transfers digitally enhanced images to a head-wearable display for stereoscopic 3D viewing, along with a touch screen and an external 4K monitor.
