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.

Combining two technologies in one single device

NEW Gold standard

Advantages of the Scheimpflug technology

For over 20 years, Scheimpflug technology has been the proven gold standard in anterior segment tomography. All parameters of the anterior segment are measured at once with very high accuracy. Clinical studies from the past two decades have formed the foundation for the software, which meets all needs from refractive screening, to the selection of premium IOLs, IOL calculation, and to fitting of scleral lenses.

Advantages of the Scheimpflug technology

Best of both worlds
Scheimpflug & OCT

Combining Scheimpflug technology and OCT offers a comprehensive view: Scheimpflug reveals light-scattering structures in the anterior segment with blue light, while OCT provides unparalleled detail. Both measurements are taken simultaneously at exactly the same locations, allowing for immediate and detailed visualization of all anomalies.

Superior image quality:
Scheimpflug visualizes scatter; OCT provides detailed structure
Increased accuracy:
Precise measurements at identical corneal locations
Advanced diagnostics:
Combining established tomographic analysis with epithelial mapping
Downward compatible:
Follow-up measurements based on your existing Pentacam® data
KEY ADVANTAGE

Advantages of the Cornea OCT technology

High-resolution OCT technology enables detailed visualization of corneal structures, including precise measurement of epithelial thickness. This measurement is crucial for early detection of corneal ectasia. Epithelial thickness mapping also enhances surgical planning, contributing to optimal outcomes of vision correction procedures. OCT imaging is essential for post-operative care, monitoring healing and detecting complications after LASIK or keratoplasty.
