Can a Pentacam® or Pentacam® HR be modified to a Pentacam® AXL?
No. The Pentacam® AXL has different hardware to the other two models. Thus they cannot be modified to the AXL.
Can the Pentacam® AXL measure axial length in mature, very dense cataracts?
Extremely dense cataract still sometimes proves difficult to measure axial length with the Pentacam® AXL.
Other biometers on the market can detect the fovea during measurement. How does the Pentacam® AXL determine it is in line with the fovea to start a measurement?
The first Purkinje image is used as reference to initiate the automatic release of a measurement when using the Pentacam® AXL, unless detected – it will not start the examination process. If the first Purkinje image is detected by the ...
How does Pentacam® AXL measure axial length?
Axial length with the Pentacam® AXL is measured using optical (partial optical coherence interferometry) biometry.
