I own an OB820 since 2012. I also use a Ziemer G6, and occasionally an old IOL Master. Every patient requiring IOL calculations get examined with OB820 and G6. The OB820 is the Wavelight-Alcon version of the Haag Streit Lenstar but doesn't get or offers the same upgrades in formulas, etc. I found the axis of astigmatism more accurate with the G6, which is important for Toric lenses. Recently, I decided to use IOLs from other brands that were not Alcon. The OB820 doesn't allow to input lens information from other manufacturers, even when one of their engineers came to my office. On the contrary, G6 very easily made possible to include as many new lenses as I needed. Also, I was promised that this instrument was going to be integrated somehow with the Allegretto 500, the Wavelight Femtosecond, and the LenSx, machines that I own. This integration has never happened. I believe that it measures with high accuracy many parameters, and in my opinion better than the IOL Master, but it doesn't work as the Lenstar.
