The use of intraocular instruments in poor visibility conditions for the

When focussing with the BIOM® 5, heed the following instructions.
Before you begin to focus the BIOM® 5, check the distance from the
ophthalmoscopy magnifying loupe to the patient’s eye.
When focussing the BIOM® 5, make sure that:
The microscope is left at this position (height) after the surgical
steps have been performed at the anterior section.
The BIOM® 5 has been set to the shortest length before you
swing it into the working position.
The ophthalmoscopy loupe does not touch the eye.
You do not adjust the height of the microscope.
You do not use the microscope’s focussing function.
