The following article is a testimonial provided by Mr Mohammed Rifaat, Associate Specialist, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, UK, who gives us his opinion on the Stellaris Elite™ Vision Enhancement System with Digiflow® pressurised infusion.^†:

“A platform with longevity: Why I consider the Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Eliteplatform a superior choice.”

“Traditionally you get a new device or machine and from that moment it is the best it will ever be, as technology evolves and supersedes what you have. That is not so with the Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite platform.

This is a modern machine with longevity. The digital interface allows the software to be updated as needed and the whole platform can be upgraded with add-ons, as you would expect from a premium brand such as Apple.

We also only need this one machine since it combines both front and back of eye functionality to the highest standard. There is no compromise. It is the superior choice for both and that means there is no need for me to have eight odd machines across the three sites I work across.

Obviously, this presents efficiency beyond just the mere use of space. One machine equals one company to build a relationship with, one set of reps to understand our needs, one set of maintenance and updates.

The platform is based on venturi technology, which is far better and the future for eye surgery. With Digiflow, it reduces energy required for procedures and is much safer. I certainly feel more confident with our trainees because of it.

To use it, is to feel in control. What you see, is what you get with everything happening at the tip of the instrument as it should, with clear visibility, stability and balance.

While we have a bid for other brands of machines every few years, we’ve never found something comparable and so not felt the need to switch. My colleagues are happy, I am happy and if it’s not broke, then don’t fix it, as they say.

And when we do have problems, as are inevitable with any device, my nurses report that Bausch + Lombsolve them swiftly, within 24 hours, avoiding list cancellations. The reps are knowledgeable, they take the time to develop relationships and I feel I can call them about anything.

In fact, I’d recommend colleagues who are not using Bausch + Lomb to give them a call and find out for themselves!”
