Equipped with an automatically rotating Scheimpflug camera the Pentacam performs a complete measurement of the anterior eye segment in less than 2 seconds. A precise analysis of the central cornea is carried out in the process. During measurement extraneous eye movements are detected with a second pupil camera and automatically corrected during the calculation process. The software analyses and evaluates all the data acquired. These data then provide the basis for a three-dimensional model of the complete anterior eye segment.
The Pentacam analyses the entire cornea, anterior chamber and crystalline lens. This includes an objective determination of the central radii, corneal asphericity, various coloured maps of curvature and elevation, chamber angle, chamber volume and chamber elevation as well as lens transparency. Tomography shows the individual levels of the anterior eye segment in a freely rotating model. Measurement is non-contact and entirely agreeable to the patient.
The Pentacam is available in three different models:
Pentacam BASIC – the individual model
Pentacam CLASSIC – the versatile model
Pentacam HR – the professional model
The Pentacam offers a wide range of functions even in its Basic version:
topography and elevation data of the
anterior and
posterior corneal surface
glaucoma screening
overall pachymetry, absolute and relative
topography based keratoconus analysis
tomography and analysis of the anterior chamber
follow-up
