Ophthalmology is one of the medical specialties where precision and attention to detail are crucial. Every structure in the eye is delicate, and every procedure requires maximum concentration and state-of-the-art technical support. To meet these demands, the Breyer, Kaymak & Klabe Eye Clinic in Düsseldorf has recently integrated the Ikegami MKC-X800 camera as a complement to the surgical microscope.

Why use the latest camera technology in the operating room?

Integrating a high-resolution camera into the surgical workflow offers significant advantages:

•  Optimized 4K Visualization: The Ikegami MKC-X800 delivers razor-sharp images with exceptional detail and accurate color reproduction. This is particularly important for visualizing fine structures such as the trabecular meshwork, retina, or cornea.
• Intraoperative Monitoring: The surgical team can follow the procedure in real time on large 4K monitors, greatly improving communication and safety in the operating room.
• Documentation and Training: Ultra-high-resolution images and videos support post-operative review, quality assurance, and staff training—an important contribution to medical education.

Application in Dr. Karsten Klabe’s Specialty

Dr. Karsten Klabe is one of Germany’s leading specialists in glaucoma and retinal surgery. His focus is on minimally invasive procedures that are particularly gentle for patients, including:

•   Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Techniques such as micro-stent implantation or 360° canaloplasty reduce intraocular pressure with minimal tissue trauma.
• Retinal and Vitreous Surgery: Using advanced 27-gauge technology, complex vitreoretinal conditions can be treated.
• Corneal Transplantation (DMEK): This technique transplants only the innermost corneal layer, shortening healing time and improving success rates.

The Ikegami MKC-X800 supports these procedures by providing an exact 4K view of the surgical field, enhancing patient safety and optimizing surgical precision.

Technical Features of the Ikegami MKC-X800

• 4K Ultra HD resolution for maximum detail
• Excellent color reproduction for realistic imaging
• Compact design for easy integration into existing surgical microscopes
• 4K live streaming for training and telemedicine

Conclusion

The introduction of the Ikegami MKC-X800 camera at the Breyer, Kaymak & Klabe Eye Clinic marks another step toward safer and more precise eye surgery. It not only enables better intraoperative control but also provides high-quality documentation for research and teaching. For patients, this means maximum safety and cutting-edge technology for the best possible outcomes.
