OCULUS GONIO ready ®
Two-handed MIGS now possible for the first time!
When performing MIGS, surgeons can now attach the gonio lens to the microscope rather than having to hold the gonio lens with one hand. This gives them two free hands for the surgery.
Being able to use both hands for MIGS opens up new possibilities for surgeons and adds a degree of safety for both the surgeon and the patient. The new GONIO ready® will benefit anyone already using a gonio lens.
Features
OCULUS GONIO ready®
The gonio lens in OCULUS quality provides excellent depth of field and, despite its small size, an unusually large field of view (180°).
The patented Flex System is flexible enough to be moved around during MIGS yet sufficiently resistant to movement as not to be inadvertently displaced.
The GONIO ready® comes in a sterile blister pack and connects with the appropriate adapter easily to a wide range of ophthalmic microscopes.
Stability and predictability that will revolutionize surgeons’ approach to MIGS
Benefit from the OCULUS gonio lens and the patented Flex System:
- The OCULUS quality lens offers smaller footprint for increased peripheral awareness
- The unique lens design offers better access to the corneal incisions for any MIGS device
- The Flex System offers the ability to let the lens float atop the cornea and therefore reducing image distortion
- The attachment to the surgical microscope offers consistent, repeatable and stable lens positioning
Specifically designed to optimize performance with either a f = 175 mm or f = 200 mm microscope objective lens.

10008420: GONIO ready® 200, for f = 200 mm

“The future is to have both hands in the anterior chamber during MIGS and that is exactly what the OCULUS GONIO ready® offers: more control, easier tissue manipulation and help to protect from hypotony and bleeding.”

“Hands-free gonioscopy with the GONIO ready® allows me to actively use my non-dominant hand for microinvasive glaucoma surgery - the benefits include added precision, efficiency, and safety.”

“GONIO ready® has the potential to be a real game changer for angle surgery in glaucoma by giving surgeons the freedom to utilize both hands on the surgical task at hand and not have to constantly worry about maintaining a clear view.”
Leonard K. Seibold, MD
University of Colorado, Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center, Aurora, USA
“Just as exciting as the first time you rode your bicycle with no hands: GONIO ready®, another great innovation from the OCULUS team now permits MIGS surgeons to use both hands during angle surgery with a very clear and wide gonioscopic view of the angle, that is safe for your patients’ ocular surface.”
Dr Paul Harasymowycz, MD, FRCSC
University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada
“Bimanual approaches are sometimes needed in challenging cases to optimize the surgical view during angle surgery. The GONIO ready® system seamlessly integrates with the microscope to maintain a consistent contact with the cornea allowing for bimanual capabilities.”
Craig Chaya, MD
Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
“The GONIO ready® is the best gonioscopy system I’ve used to maintain a stable and clear view during angle surgery. Patient cooperation can make or break an angle surgery for glaucoma. The GONIO ready® system frees up my hand to help maintain proper patient positioning to reduce risks.”
Edward Yung, MD
Pacific Eye Institute, Upland, USA
“Having another hand free allowed me to be safer and more flexible with my techniques. I think the GONIO ready® is the logical next step in maximizing our use of the angle.”
Austin Nakatsuka, MD
Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
“As MIGS become more widely adopted among ophthalmologists it is only natural that innovation also occurs in Gonioscopy lenses. Gonio ready® is a clever gonioscopy lens that allows for hands free view of the angle. It can be rotated with a gentle click to see more of the angle on either direction, without having to reposition your chair or scope.”

Yes. The OCULUS GONIO ready® lens offers a smaller footprint and easier access to the corneal incision, which may be ideal for paediatric MIGS cases.
For pricing, please contact your distributor at Contact.
Because there is always room for improvement. There are several benefits associated with the lens being attached directly to the surgical microscope, some including stability of the lens, maintained view during procedure, time saving in some cases and the ability to use both hands during the procedure for better surgical outcome.
