The number under the ‘add’ column tells us the 2nd lens prescription needed for multifocal lenses. What does ‘add’ mean on an eye prescription? Your prescription may have a ‘base’ column, or it may be included in the same column as ‘prism’ this gives further information about the required prism correction, telling us the orientation needed in the lens. What does ‘base’ mean on an eye prescription? The number under ‘cylinder’ provides the lens power needed to correct the astigmatism. The number marked ‘axis’ describes the orientation of astigmatism. ‘Sphere’ is basically a measure of how strong your prescription needs to be. What does Sphere, Cylinder and Axis mean? In the context of an eye prescription, ‘OD’ means ‘right eye’ and ‘OS’ means ‘left eye. OD-OS is able to operate on the strength of a secure financial base established by a broad platform of renowned venture capital investment companies.‘OD’ and ‘OS’ are abbreviations of the Latin words ‘oculus dexter’ and ‘oculus sinister’, respectively. The projects mentioned before were funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Brandenburg and the EU. To develop innovative therapy solutions with Navilas, OD-OS continues to develop new products and technologies to enhance the treatment of the retina with laser by providing a more quality controlled treatment process, such as better treatment strategies for treatment planning, enhanced treatment evaluation and dosimetry (in the LADOS-Project) and using advanced imaging technologies (in the OCT-Navigation-Project). OD-OS is an ISO 13485 certified medical device company.
At the start of 2008, after more than three years of product and technological development at SMI by a team dedicated to Retina Navigation, OD-OS was created with a solid capital base and the focused target of bringing Retina Navigation to the market.
OD-OS is an offshoot of SensoMotoric Instruments GmbH (SMI), located in Teltow, just outside of Berlin, Germany. OD-OS has a rich tradition in ophthalmology Allowing you to Image, Plan, Treat, and Document with a single device. And it is this unique combination of the two aspects of standard care that points to the company's goal: OD-OS is breaking new ground in integrating both the diagnosis and therapy in one solution utilizing Retina Navigation. Furthermore, OD-OS also stands for Ophthalmic Diagnostics - Ophthalmic Surgery. OD-OS denotes the right eye (Oculus Dexter) and left eye (Oculus Sinister), as is commonly used in everyday documentation by eye doctors. The name OD-OS was chosen for the company as it is instantly recognizable and easily remembered by anyone who is involved in retina therapy. We provide innovative therapy solutions, being the first to introduce Retina Navigation with its unique integration of imaging, planning, treatment, and documentation - utilizing our advanced overlay technology. Our German-American team of experts in ophthalmic devices works closely with eye doctors, clinical specialists and partners all over the world to advance the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. We are striving to preserve the eyesight of patients with retina disease. By extending our innovative Retina Navigation platform, our goal is to become the global leader in novel therapeutic solutions for the growing number of people suffering from retina diseases. OD-OS aims to set new standards of care for retina treatment. Founder and CEO of SMI, redefining refractive and cataract laser surgery with tracking and guidance Our Vision
