Technical prowess captured in imaging competition

Haag-Streit has awarded first place in its Slit Lamp Imaging Competition 2022 to Utpal Sarkar from Disha Eye Hospitals Barrackpore in Kolkata, India.

Sarkar’s winning image, pictured, was taken with a Haag-Streit BX 900 imaging system and showed a case of spherophakia, which was noted for image quality, technical execution and disease interest.

Judges said they were especially impressed by the ciliary zonule being in full focus over nearly the entire 360° of the eye.

Second place went to an image of a patient with ocular albinism captured with iris transillumination technique, which was taken by Rob Hancock from the Wirral University Teaching Hospital.
