“You have dedicated your entire working life to OCULUS”, says Co-Director Christian Kirchhübel, in his speech at his father’s 40th work anniversary at the company on 1 February 2019 in Wetzlar-Dutenhofen. “You have taken on all the challenges, and you lead the company with level-headedness and foresight. Your visions have led us to many successes."

In his speech, Rainer Kirchhübel looks only briefly at the past: “For 38 of my 40 years at OCULUS, I’ve been the Director. These years saw many great challenges, but I always enjoyed it.” From his start at the firm in 1979, engineer Rainer Kirchhübel led it to success as a worldwide high-tech company, and OCULUS is still a family company. Sons Christian and Matthias are executives at the company, and wife Rita Kirchhübel has been Director of Marketing for over 25 years.

Mr. Andreas Tielmann, Managing Director of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) in Lahn-Dill, presents Rainer Kirchhübel with a certificate in honour of his 40th work anniversary.

All from OCULUS say: "Thank you, Mr Kirchhübel!"

As of September 2018 the OCULUS Keratograph 5M comes equipped with a new joystick including a release function. This enables the user to capture images and video sequences with the simple push of a button on the device. No need any more to switch to the mouse – the user’s hand stays resting on the new joystick.

All new OCULUS Keratograph 5M units will be delivered with the new joystick as a standard feature. Customers who already have a Keratograph 5M can order the new joystick as a retrofit and install it themselves very easily.
