Abstract
Modern surgical microscope is the basic unit necessary to carry out a wide range of intraocular surgery, with as good visualization as it is possible for each type of procedure. High-quality microscope means not only the quality of observation within the surgical field but also greater comfort of surgery with lesser surgeon stress. Taking into account the diversity of operations in the anterior and posterior segment of the eye, one should pay close attention to two important elements that reflect the quality of surgical microscope e.g. the ability to obtain a stable, high-quality red reflex and a sufficiently large range of depth of focus.
