✔ Enhanced Magnification with Maglens – The +3.00D Maglens provides detailed views of the optic disc, macula, and anterior segment
✔ Teaching Mirror for Training – Allows educators and students to share a live, monocular view for hands-on learning
✔ Versatile Clinical Applications – Enables widefield retinal examination, zoomed-in disc and macula assessment, anterior segment evaluation, and fundal red reflex testing
✔ No Adjustments Required – Fixed interpupillary distance (IPD) of 55–68mm ensures a clear stereo view for most users
✔ Easy to Clean – Smooth, flat surfaces allow quick disinfection with alcohol wipes or a 70% alcohol solution
Condensing Lenses
A hand-held condensing lens is required to examine the retina using the Holo BIO. We offer a package with +20D and +28D condensing lenses, the most commonly used lens powers:
+20D lens – A versatile, general-purpose lens offering 3.00x magnification with a 46° field of view, ideal for adult examinations and diabetic retinopathy screening
+28D lens – Provides a wider 56° field of view with 2.27x magnification, making it particularly useful for paediatric assessments and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening

Brilliant advice, especially considering the cost. Really user-friendly, well thought out design (I love that you can hang this on your neck between patients), the gland is a really nice touch if you just want to do a magnified anterior segment exam. I love that it has a teaching mirror. The teaching mirror does interfere a little bit causing reflections for your own exam, so you'd probably wanna slide it off for your exam, and then slide it back on when sharing with students which is a little bit finicky- but considering the price point in comparison with other bio headsets with teaching mirrors, it's a great gadget
Great tool. truly comparable to standard BIO. very impressive design
Very stable, very small really for pocket, Battery lasts forever.
An excellent tool, just what I expected. Great job.
A really excellent device! Easy to use. Long battery life and easy to charge in countries with different plug sockets and different voltages. I used it in an eye camp environment and it was phenomenally useful in theatre and in the clinical assessment of post op patients, as we had no slit lamp. My IPD is 72mm but it still worked fine, in spite of the fixed inter pupillary distance of up to 68mm. It’s easy to use in conjunction with spectacle wear. In summary, highly recommended!
