Binns joins Heidelberg Engineering

Heidelberg Engineering has bolstered its UK Academy and training services with the appointment of ophthalmic photographer Ken Binns as applications specialist.

Binns joins the company from private clinic The London Medical and in his new role will provide training and education to clients and expand the research offering of the Heidelberg Engineering Academy.

‘My aim is to aid practitioners in maximising their investment in OCT technology,’ said Binns. ‘My previous experience in running workshops and tutorials on how to use and interpret images is very valuable experience.

‘The scale of the information on pathology – now available at High Street clinic level via OCT – is fantastic. The patient doesn’t even need to be dilated and less than a minute later you have an amazing amount of information as a basis for diagnosis. It is outstanding what you can do with the technology. Coming from a technical photography background I am very critical about equipment but the quality, consistency and repeatability of the Heidelberg Spectralis OCT is unrivalled,’ he added.
