Salient Characteristics The auto import and DICOM interface from Haag Streit, Heidelberg OCT/HRA and IOL master software to a workstation is highly specialized. Many ophthalmic systems do not have a DICOM interface or are not compliant with VA DICOM requirements, which can be solved by directly interfacing the equipment with work stations through the use of Eye PACS. Accordingly, Merge is the only company capable of providing the supplies and services described to adequately interface the ophthalmic equipment with viewing and work stations.
