TORONTO, Canada | MARCH 21, 2025 | Carl Zeiss Meditec AG
ZEISS Medical Technology announced today the availability in Canada of the ZEISS VISULAS Combi, an advanced therapeutic laser workstation offering photodisruption, photocoagulation, and slit lamp technology in a single, comprehensive solution. Designed for the treatment of retina, cataract, and glaucoma conditions, the ZEISS VISULAS Combi streamlines workflows with customizable modules, a uniform interface, and space-saving features. It enables seamless eye care without the need for time-consuming changes or relocation of the patient, enhancing both clinical efficiency and the patient experience.
Dr. Hady Saheb, a renowned glaucoma expert and President of the Canadian Glaucoma Society, shares, “As an ophthalmologist committed to delivering the best possible care for my patients, I am excited to see the ZEISS VISULAS Combi in practice. I had the opportunity to use the SLT component in conjunction with the ZEISS FORUM and Imaging Solution, and the experience was seamless. The ability to generate treatment reports automatically—without the need to manually enter every detail—is a time-saver for those using the ZEISS FORUM and Imaging Solution. Additionally, the HD Imaging Solution has been invaluable for educating the various learners on the team, eliminating the need for a co-observation tube and allowing multiple learners to watch simultaneously. The SLT laser is performed without bubbles, and the clinical results have also been very promising so far. The ZEISS VISULAS Combi promises to be an exciting new tool for our patients, as the role of SLT laser continues to expand in glaucoma patient care”

With Health Canada’s approval, ZEISS is pleased to introduce this cutting-edge technology to the Canadian ophthalmology market. Abrar Esop, Head of Medical Technology at ZEISS Canada, explains, “At ZEISS, we are committed to advancing ophthalmic care by improving clinical efficiency and supporting innovation and education. The ZEISS VISULAS Combi embodies our dedication to empowering clinicians and shaping the future of ophthalmology. With its multi-disciplinary capabilities, the ZEISS VISULAS Combi allows ophthalmologists to see more, do more, and treat more—all with one device. Previously, this would have required multiple systems, additional training, and larger workspaces. This platform represents a future-proof investment for ophthalmologists that provides precision and adaptability in one streamlined system.”
The ZEISS VISULAS Combi sets a new standard in ophthalmic care, offering a versatile and innovative solution that helps simplify the complexities of modern eye care while enabling exceptional outcomes for both patients and practitioners.
