Make the basic settings at the microscope
Make the basic settings at the microscope in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Adjust the microscope to the anterior eye segment and perform the surgery steps
under microscope illumination, including insertion of the infusion.
When using the BIOM 4 focusing function, heed the following points:
Before swinging it to the operating position, make sure that the BIOM has been set
to the shortest overall length.
Before starting the focusing process, check whether the ophthalmoscopy front lens
is far enough away from the patient’s eye.
Make sure that the front lens does not come into contact with the eye.
While focusing the BIOM, the working height of the microscope must never be ad-
justed, nor must the focusing function of the microscope be used.
