Starting ophthalmology in July, and looking to purchase a portable Indirect lamp for call. The residents in the class ahead of me mostly bought the "spectacle style" Keeler lamp, and have not been thrilled with its reliability (they have sent them in multiple times for repairs- I think battery related). I notice Heine has a spectacle style Indirect available (Heine Sigma 150). Have not spoken with anyone who has used it. Another resident told me he just bought a more traditional style lamp (with the full headband) and it works well, but was more cumbersome to lug around on call. Call is busy, as we cover 4 or 5 hospitals around the city.
Any recommendations? I suppose while portability is nice, reliability ultimately would be more important to me...
Thanks!
