Ghanaian Innovator Dr. Bright Owusu Prempeh Launches Game-Changing “Super D” Retinal Examination Lenses
In a remarkable leap forward for affordable healthcare innovation, Dr. Bright Owusu Prempeh, a visionary Ghanaian scientist and esteemed optometrist at the Anglican Eye Clinic in Jachie, Bosomtwe District has unveiled his groundbreaking invention: the “Super D” retinal examination lenses.
This cutting-edge device not only promises superior functionality but also disrupts the market with its impressively low cost.
Dr. Prempeh, whose expertise spans scientific research and clinical optometry, drew from years of hands-on experience in eye care to develop the “Super D.” Frustrated by the high costs and limitations of imported lenses, he set out to create a tool that combines affordability with unmatched precision. “Eye health shouldn’t be a luxury,” Dr. Prempeh shared in a recent interview. “In regions like Bosomtwe, where eye complications and age-related conditions are on the rise, we need tools that empower local clinicians without breaking the bank.”
Priced at a fraction of leading competitors significantly less than the thousands of cedis for premium imports, the “Super D” lenses are engineered for durability and ease of use, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of busy clinics while delivering crystal-clear retinal views.
While established lenses like the Goldmann three-mirror gonioscope, Volk 90D and 78D lenses, and Panfunduscope systems have long been the gold standard for indirect ophthalmoscopy, the “Super D” elevates the field with enhanced features tailored for real-world application:
Unparalleled Clarity: The lenses provide razor-sharp visualization of the retina, peripheral structures, and optic nerve, reducing diagnostic errors and enabling faster consultations.
Versatile Diagnostics: Specifically designed to detect and monitor critical conditions such as diabetic retinopathy (a leading cause of blindness in diabetic patients), macular degeneration, and retinal detachment.
Comprehensive Monitoring: Beyond diagnosis, the “Super D” excels in ongoing retinal health surveillance, making it ideal for follow-up care in chronic cases.
Added Functionality: Unlike its predecessors, the “Super D” integrates user-friendly adjustments for varying pupil sizes and incorporates anti-glare coatings to minimize reflections, allowing for extended exam sessions without fatigue.
Rigorous testing at the Anglican Eye Clinic and collaborations with leading Ghanaian medical institutions have validated its efficacy. Independent trials report a 20-30% improvement in diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional lenses, with users praising its lightweight design and seamless compatibility with standard slit-lamp biomicroscopes.
The ophthalmic lens market, dominated by multinational giants, has often overlooked affordability in developing regions. Enter the “Super D”: a homegrown solution that’s already generating buzz among eye care professionals. Early adopters in Kumasi and Accra report streamlined workflows and boosted patient throughput, with one clinician noting, “It’s like having a high-end system without the import duties, game changing for public health outreach.”
Approved by local regulatory bodies and backed by peer-reviewed studies submitted for international journals, the “Super D” is on track for widespread distribution. Dr. Prempeh’s team at the Anglican Eye Clinic is still looking to partner with Ghana Health Service to roll out training programs, ensuring that even remote facilities can harness its power.
As Ghana continues to shine on the global innovation stage, from tech startups to medical breakthroughs, the “Super D” stands as a testament to African ingenuity. By slashing costs without compromising quality, Dr. Prempeh isn’t just inventing a lens; he’s forging a path toward equitable eye care for all.

In a stark contrast to the efforts of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama’s administration and various government officials, one member of parliament has been singled out for neglect and ineptitude. Hon. Ebenezer Prince Arhin (PhD), the MP for Mfantsiman Constituency, has been accused of failing his constituents amidst a severe water crisis.
The Mfantsiman Constituency has been grappling with an acute water shortage since October of last year, affecting the livelihoods of indegenes and non-natives alike. The situation is dire, with families struggling to access clean water for basic needs. Patients at clinics and hospitals require water for hygiene, and families are forced to carry buckets of water to healthcare facilities.
The water crisis has had far-reaching consequences, including:
– Contributing to a widespread cholera outbreak in Biriwa, a town under the constituency.
– Increased expenses for civil servants, such as teachers, nurses, and police officers, who must purchase water for daily use.
– Late arrivals to workplaces due to the quest for water.
– Estimated bills from the Ghana Water Company remain high despite lack of water supply.
The cost of water has skyrocketed, with a gallon selling for 7 cedis. Residents are forced to pay for transportation if they are not near the source of distribution.
Although there have been nothing like an official statement to this effect, the MP’s sympathizers claim that the main source of water to the reservoir that treats and pumps water to various houses in the constituency has dried up and that the rains will bring relief. However, despite continuous rainfall for over a month, taps remain dry.
The people of Mfantsiman are urging their MP to take their plight seriously and lobby for solutions. If not, the NDC may face consequences in the constituency, where residents are increasingly feeling neglected. They believe this NDC administration hastens in quests to solve issues that bothers citizens, and the powers that are in charge and can help obliterate this menace will bring great relief to the constituents.
The question remains: will Hon. Ebenezer Prince Arhin (PhD) heed the call and work towards resolving the water crisis, or will he continue to be the “black sheep” of the NDC?
