VRmagic’s Eyesi® Slit Lamp medical simulator launched in the UK

Harlow, UK – 1st December 2020 - Haag-Streit UK (HS-UK), the leading manufacturer and distributor of gold-standard ophthalmic and optometry equipment, is proud to announce it has secured an Exclusive UK Distributorship for the VRmagic Eyesi^® Slit Lamp medical simulator.

VRmagic was established in 2001 and is a pioneer for virtual and augmented reality technology in medical training. The solutions developed by VRmagic permit a realistic and dynamic simulation of both examinations of, and operations on, the eye.

The Eyesi^® Slit Lamp is a high-end diagnostic training system for optometrists and ophthalmologists. Its virtual reality technology is integrated into the original hardware of the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit lamp model and offers all functions of a real slit lamp. Trainees can examine virtual patients with the biomicroscope, fundoscopy lens, or gonioscopy lens.

Dean Johnson, Haag-Streit UK MD, commented, “VRmagic joined the Haag-Streit Group in April 2020, however it already had strong, well-established links with the Group with the Eyesi^® Slit Lamp integrated in the original hardware of the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit lamp. These are the first medical simulator products to be added to the company’s gold-standard portfolio and we are thrilled to be expanding our offering for ophthalmologists in the key field of medical training.”
