Ophthalmology

The challenge

Ophthalmology relies on a wide range of instruments for refractive assessment and disease diagnostics, many of which require precise control of focus and direction during intraocular imaging. Conventional systems often depend on exchanging multiple optical components, resulting in bulky setups and longer examination times.

Our solution

The Optotune EL‑12‑30 tunable lens acts as a projection lens in visual field analyzers, replacing bulky, noisy optomechanical stages. It enables silent, millisecond focusing across large distances, projecting sharp central and peripheral stimuli onto the dome. The Optotune EL‑3‑10 tunable lens, with its wide ±13 D range, integrates into biometers to provide silent, millisecond focusing across the full cornea-to-retina axial range. By replacing bulky mechanical stages with a compact 10×4 mm opto-electronic component, it reduces instrument size, part count, and alignment complexity while accelerating measurement acquisition.

Why Optotune for visual field analyzers

A slim 12 mm aperture instead of bulky mechanical stages
Millisecond focusing with high optical throughput
Temperature-compensated tuning
Smaller, faster projection engines
Streamlined workflow with long lifetime

Why Optotune for biometers

Fast, silent ms focusing in the cornea-to-retina region
Wide tuning range
Small, simple opto-mechanics, easy to retrofit
Robust, OEM-ready component
Platform for new features (topographers, keratometers...)

Front Lens Configuration

Liquid lenses can also be mounted directly in front of standard lenses, offering a compact solution. With S-mount lenses, horizontal fields of view up to 56° are possible, while C-mount systems typically work best with fields of view up to 30°. In both cases, the liquid lens can often be integrated using existing mounts, keeping the overall system design simple and compact.

Back Lens Configuration

When integrated close to the aperture stop, Optotune’s liquid lenses achieve optimal performance with large image circles, low f-numbers, and excellent resolution. To make this integration seamless, we collaborate with leading optics manufacturers worldwide to deliver a growing number of optimized designs.
