OCULUS PENTACAM

Company: OCULUS

Purpose:

Link: http://www.oculususa.com/prd_comp.php

Principle of Measurement
The Pentacam images the anterior segment of the eye by a rotating Scheimpflug camera measurement. This rotating process supplies pictures in three dimensions. The center of the cornea is measured very precisely because of this rotational imaging process.
The measurement process lasts less than two seconds and minute eye movements are captured and corrected simultaneously. By measuring 25,000 true elevation points, precise representation, repeatability and analysis are guaranteed. The following information on the eye is captured.

Scheimpflug Image

3-D Chamber Analysis

Corneal Topography

Pachymetry

Cataract Analysis

True Net Power

Keratometric Power Deviation

Tomography

Holladay Report
During the last ESCRS in Lisbon Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH presents the “Holladay Report” for the first time. This new program was developed together with Dr. Jack T. Holladay to improve the calculation of IOLs for patients which have undergone corneal surgery. This problem is well known and several methods have been tried to get proper k-readings for the calculation of the IOL but no method was precise enough. All those methods which have been in use so far are assumptions and approximations. The Pentacam is the first and only machine in the market which delivers the necessary values.

OCULAR COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY [OCT]

Company: Zeiss Meditec

Purpose: Cross-Sectional Imaging of Retina

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new, noninvasive, noncontact, transpupillary imaging technology which can image retinal structures in vivo with a resolution of 10 to 17 microns.
Cross-sectional images of the retina are produced using the optical backscattering of light in a fashion analogous to B- scan ultrasonography. The anatomic layers within the retina can be differentiated and retinal thickness can be measured.

IOL MASTER

Company: Zeiss Meditec

Purpose: Measurements of ocular parameters used commonly in cataract + refractive surgery

The Zeiss IOL Master is a non-contact optical device that measures the distance from the corneal vertex to the retinal pigment epithelium by partial coherence interferometry, the IOL Master is consistently accurate to within ±0.02 mm or better.

The IOL Master is the first such device to be widely used in clinical ophthalmology.

Optical biometry along the visual axis is highly accurate. Erroneous measurements are virtually eliminated. Exact measurement of the length of the ocular axis is possible even with eyes not ideally formed. High ametropia, pupil size as well as state of accommodation will not affect the accuracy of measurement. The risk of confusing right and left eye is excluded. The instrument automatically detects the right or left eye while taking the measurement.
 

AUTO REFRACTOR HARK 599

Company: Zeiss Meditec

Purpose: Auto refractor/keratometer

The HARK 599 is the first full-featured
combination auto refractor/keratometer
with glare testing. Unlike other instruments,
the HARK allows for immediate patient feedback on the prescription.

Complete testing - Automatic alignment and tracking allow the instrument to follow shifts in eye movement during testing, while speeding up routine examination time, improving patient comfort level and achieving highly accurate refractions.

Automatic Keratometric readings In addition to all the features of the Automatic Refractor, the HARK 599 provides precise keratometric readings including Delta K's that are quickly and easily performed for all clinical needs.
 

HUMPHREY Visual Fields HFA II

Company: Zeiss Meditec

Purpose: Eye diagnostic

The Humphrey Field Analyzer II is the recognized standard of care for early diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases resulting in visual field loss. With over 35,000 HFA systems in use around the world, the HFA is documented in hundreds of clinical trials.

Early Glaucoma Detection - Blue-Yellow perimetry has been shown to provide earlier detection of glaucomatous visual field loss

Reliable Results - Patented fixation monitoring features automatically track and align patient head and eye position, alerting the operator to patient movement away from the trial lens.
Patients appreciate the ergonomically designed instrument - that allows for maximum comfort.

ORBSCAN

Company: Bausch + Lomb

Purpose: Corneal scanning machine used in pre-operative evaluation for laser eye surgery

Purpose: Corneal scanning machine used in pre-operative evaluation for laser eye surgery.

The Orbscan is a very special test that helps the doctors to determine if you are a candidate for LASIK. It is the only test that can show us the shape of the posterior surface of your cornea.

"The Orbscan II acquires over 9000 data points in 1.5 seconds to meticulously map the entire corneal surface (11 mm), and analyze elevation and curvature measurements on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea."
This level of analysis is absolutely impossible for a doctor to conduct without the Orbscan.

The Orbscan also gives us your corneal thickness measurement anywhere on your cornea. Corneal thickness is very important because since we changing the shape of you cornea by removing tissue we do not want to make your cornea too thin. The average cornea is 515 microns thick. Our rule is to not make your cornea total thickness not thinner than 400 microns or less than 250 microns under the flap. This is best measured with the Orbscan.
