R-Evolution

Phaco & Vitrectomy System
When Evolution becomes Revolution

The Extraordinary Creativity Of Giugiaro Design and Optikon’s Fifty-Year Experience in The Sector of Ophthalmic Surgery have Converged to Create R-Evolution. Professionals From All Over The World Helped To Invent A Highly Advanced Platform That Merges Top Quality Design, A Simple User Friendly Interface and Ground Breaking Technological Solutions to Meet All Surgical Requirements.

R-Evolution is an Advanced System, Programmed to Evolve Steadily: Its Extreme Flexibility Involves the Option of Constantly Updating the Equipment to Ensure Up-To-Date Technology.

R-Evolution is Conceived On Highly Sophisticated Fluidics With Performance Optimisation Based On Three Types Of Pumps. A Series Of Optikon Patented Solutions Cover the Main Surgical Areas: Namely the Lighting System with dual Operating Temperature and Filters Designed To Reduce Phototoxicity, the A.D.C. (Asymmetrical Duty Cycle) System for Retinal Surgery and the Minimal Stress Patent for Optimal Energy Control During Cataract Surgery.

R-Evolution: An Unprecedented Revolutionary Project that looks toward the future of Ophthalmology.
