In order to enhance the quality of patient care and to execute surgical interventions with greater precision, the Atatürk University Research Hospital has acquired the most recent technology, the Leica Purevue brand surgical microscope. This cutting-edge device is equipped with all the requisite tools to ensure the utmost level of success in eye surgery and is applicable to a wide range of procedures, including cataract, keratoplasty, glaucoma, strabismus, and vitreo-retinal surgeries.

The automatic laser filters and inverter system of this microscope, which utilizes the latest generation LED light technology to prevent retinal injury, enhance the safety of surgical procedures. Simultaneously, the device's integrated keratoscope feature reduces the formation of astigmatism as a result of sutures and enhances the quality of postoperative vision for patients. Additionally, its OCT connection feature enables more successful operations by providing detailed information about the tissues during retinal surgery. Furthermore, the high-resolution imaging system enables the recording and monitoring of surgical interventions, which is a significant benefit to medical education and the training of students and assistants.
