Why We Switched: Two Surgeons' Journey to Sophi


Listen Later

Dr Ben LaHood sits down with Dr Erik Mertens and Dr Dick Vuijk from Medipolis Eye Centre in Antwerp, Belgium to discuss their transition from traditional phaco machines to the more intuitive Sophi system. They share the immediate changes they noticed in the OR and how Sophi has since become central to their cataract procedures.

The conversation highlights how Sophi brings a modern approach to cataract surgery - with streamlined setup, smoother workflows, refined phaco performance, and a cleaner, more efficient environment. Beyond technology, the surgeons also reflect on its impact on surgical teams, patient experience, cost, sustainability, and mobile surgery setups.

Whether you’re considering a trial or exploring a full switch, this episode offers first-hand insights and practical takeaways from surgeons who have made the change.
