Ninewells Hospital has inaugurated Ninewells Eye, a cutting-edge eye clinic designed to improve access to advanced ophthalmic care. The clinic is equipped by DIMO Healthcare with a comprehensive array of advanced ophthalmic technologies from ZEISS, introducing internationally acclaimed eye-care solutions to the Sri Lankan healthcare sector. As the authorized representative for ZEISS in Sri Lanka, DIMO Healthcare has provided end-to-end solutions to enhance diagnostic accuracy, surgical precision, and clinical efficiency at this fully integrated eye-care center.
At the heart of the surgical setup at Ninewells Eye is the ZEISS OPMI LUMERA 700, a high-precision surgical microscope utilized for various eye surgeries, including cataract procedures, glaucoma treatment, corneal surgery, and retinal interventions. This system offers surgeons bright, clear, and highly detailed views of the eye, facilitating delicate procedures with increased accuracy and confidence.
For cataract surgery planning, the ZEISS IOLMaster 700 is employed, an advanced eye measurement system that rapidly scans both eyes in under a minute. This enables doctors to plan cataract surgeries with enhanced precision, minimizing waiting time and discomfort for patients.
The clinic’s diagnostic capabilities are further strengthened by the ZEISS CIRRUS 6000 with AngioPlex, a state-of-the-art eye scanning system that captures highly detailed images of the retina, optic nerve, and the front of the eye. A significant advantage of this technology is its ability to assess blood flow in the eye without the need for injections or dyes, allowing for earlier and safer detection of conditions related to diabetes, glaucoma, and retinal diseases.
For glaucoma evaluation and monitoring, Ninewells Eye is equipped with the ZEISS Humphrey Field Analyzer 3, a globally trusted system that measures a patient’s visual field. Its faster testing protocols reduce examination time, enabling healthcare professionals to detect vision loss at earlier stages.
The clinic’s treatment capabilities are further enhanced by the ZEISS VISULAS green yag combi with SLT, a versatile laser platform designed for both glaucoma treatment and retinal care. Its advanced laser technology delivers targeted treatment with increased comfort, shorter sessions, and improved outcomes for patients.
Together, these technologies expand the clinical scope of Ninewells Eye, allowing the center to diagnose and treat a wider range of ocular conditions with greater efficiency and consistency. Patients benefit from faster diagnostics, precise interventions, and seamless care delivered under one roof.
Dr. Vibash Wijeratne, Director and CEO of Ninewells Hospital, commented, “We partnered with DIMO Healthcare for this expansion based on their ability to combine world-class ZEISS ophthalmic technology with strong local expertise.
