More Freedom of Movement for Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery demands both precision and flexibility. The SOM© 62 Ophthal Basic+ is designed precisely for this: It combines the proven optics of the Basic series with a motorised XY coupling that allows rapid position changes during the procedure.
The Key Difference: XY Coupling
What sets the Basic+ apart from the Basic? One word: Agility.
The integrated motorised XY coupling (50 x 50 mm) allows the microscope head to be repositioned using a foot control panel – keeping your hands free from the surgical field. In cataract surgeries, where precise incisions and lens manipulation require utmost concentration, this makes a noticeable difference to the workflow.
The SOM© 62 Ophthal Basic+ is aimed at ophthalmic surgeons specialising in cataract surgery. Those who regularly perform lens operations and value a seamless workflow will benefit from the added flexibility.
For facilities already using the Basic and looking to focus more on cataract procedures, the Basic+ offers a logical next step – without the need to learn an entirely new system.

80 Years with an Eye for Detail
The exceptional precision and attention to detail characterise every project from Kaps Optik, a quality appreciated by clients and partners worldwide.
Over 75 years of accumulated expertise is incorporated into every bespoke solution, whether for local or international projects.
The XY Coupling: Developed for Cataract Surgery
Every second counts in cataract surgery. The motorised XY coupling makes the crucial difference between sluggish and smooth operation.
50 x 50 mm Range of Movement
The microscope head can be moved quickly and precisely along both axes without taking hands away from the operating field. Whether during phacoemulsification, aspiration of lens fragments or IOL implantation, the line of sight follows the action, not the other way around.
Foot-controlled Positioning
The advanced foot control panel not only manages focus control but also the XY movement. A brief impulse is sufficient to adjust the image section. The surgeon remains in the flow, and concentration remains undivided.
Seamless Workflow
Cataract operations follow a rehearsed routine. The XY coupling integrates into this rhythm rather than disrupting it. Positional changes become subsidiary, allowing the procedure itself to take centre stage.

Thoughtful Operation, Open Architecture
The Basic+ combines intuitive handling with the flexibility of a modular system. The right choice today and expandable for tomorrow.
Advanced Foot Pedal
Focus and XY coupling are controlled under one foot. The operating logic is quickly internalised, with a gentle learning curve. Those upgrading from Basic will feel immediately at home. Beginners will find no lengthy induction needed.
Knobs for Fine-Tuning
Focus speed and light intensity can be adjusted within seconds using rotary knobs. No menus, no delay, just direct access to the parameters that truly matter in the daily routine of the operating theatre.
Modular Construction System
The Basic+ is not an endpoint but a platform. The binocular wide-angle swing tube (0-210°) can be retrofitted, providing additional ergonomic freedom. Assistant tubes for training purposes, video, and documentation accessories; the options grow as requirements increase.
Upgrade Path
Those who start with the Basic+ today and later expand into retinal surgery can transition to the Advanced without starting from scratch. The Kaps product family is harmonised in operational logic, accessories, and quality standards.

Benefits for the Cataract Surgeon
Seamless Positioning
During phacoemulsification or when inserting the intraocular lens, the viewing angle often needs adjustment. The XY coupling allows this to be done seamlessly in a split second without interrupting the procedure.
Apochromatic Precision
The 5x magnification changer delivers the same high-contrast, true-colour image quality as the basic model. The apochromatic correction ensures sharp edges and natural colours, which is crucial when assessing lens opacities.
Safe Eye Operations
The coaxial cold light fibre optic illumination with an integrated retina protection filter GG 475 produces a bright red reflex, making all structures visible without straining the delicate tissue. Additional IR and UV filters are built-in.
Compact Design
Despite enhanced functionality, the Basic+ remains space-saving. The mobile floor stand can be easily integrated into existing operating environments and quickly moved to another room if necessary.
