Pentacam® Cornea OCT cornea coverage
Standard OCT cornea coverage
With the Pentacam® Cornea OCT,
you can now capture ultra high-resolution images of the cornea’s microstructure in a single, rapid scan – from the anterior surface to deeper layers. This includes:
By combining ultra high-resolution OCT with proven Scheimpflug imaging, the system delivers a new level of structural detail – ideal for precise preoperative assessments and refined diagnostics.
Your advantage as a surgical ophthalmologist:
The availability of products and features may vary by country. OCULUS reserves the right to change product specifications and design.
Showing details you have never seen before
The unsurpassed resolution of the Pentacam® Cornea OCT technology makes details visible that have never been seen before in the living eye.
Resolution comparison
The Pentacam® Cornea OCT uses Spectral Domain OCT with specialized pericentric scanning technology to provide a resolution of corneal structures that conventional systems cannot achieve. While Swept Source OCT systems offer high scan depth, they are limited in resolution to approximately 10 μm, insufficient for revealing fine details.
Pentacam® Cornea OCT
Resolution: 1.9 μm
Standard OCT
Resolution: approx. 10.0 μm
Ultra High-Resolution
While Swept Source OCT systems offer high scan depth, they are limited in resolution to approximately 10 μm, insufficient for revealing fine details.

The Future of Corneal Diagnostics is Mutlimodal
Renato Ambrósio Jr. puts it clearly: Pentacam® Cornea OCT isn’t replacing Scheimpflug-Technology – it’s complementing it. The real progress lies in integration: corneal geometry, layer analysis, biomechanics – multimodal, multidimensional, and efficient.

A 28-year-old male patient presented with unclear blur in vision. His uncorrected visual acuity was 20/100-1 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. He underwent a PRK surgery for mixed astigmatism three years ago with a refraction of +1.00 / -3.75 x 5° in the right eye and +1.25 / -3.75 x 180° before surgery. Slit lamp-microscopy showed opaque spots on the cornea. Pentacam® Cornea OCT examination revealed corneal haze in both eyes. …
