Ocutech Starts Roll-Out of New VES Falcon Autofocus Bioptic Telescope

Ocutech announced the release of the new VES Falcon Autofocus Bioptic Telescope to low vision specialists internationally. The Falcon is the next generation of the world’s only autofocusing bioptic telescope for the visually impaired, according to Ocutech.

The Falcon’s advanced technology provides low vision patients with the most natural, hands-free magnified vision possible. Wearers will be able to see clearly and effortlessly, allowing them to engage in normal day-to-day activities such as seeing friends and family, seeing at work or school, participating in social settings, using the computer, and even driving where permitted, according to a company news release.

The crisp, bright, high-contrast wide-field 4x Keplerian optics provide a 12.5-degree field of view, and a focusing range as close as 13 inches. With its separate rechargeable battery the Falcon conveniently operates for 8 hours on a single charge, is easy for low vision specialists to prescribe, and comfortable to wear, weighing just 3.2 ounces.

“As a pioneer in developing high-quality telescopic low-vision telescopes, we are pleased to continue our technological innovation that supports the far-ranging needs of the visually impaired,” Henry Greene, OD, FAAO, co-founder and President of Ocutech, said in a company news release.

The Falcon has a suggested patient price of $3,900, excluding customization charges and professional fees.
