The Premium Workflow for IOL Planning

Four Steps to Precise Cataract Surgery with the Pentacam® AXL Wave

The Pentacam® AXL Wave combines tomography, biometry, wavefront analysis and refraction in a single workflow

1.

Fully understand the eye and plan the optimal IOL

The Full Sequence Overview (FSO) provides a clear overview of all relevant data and enables a quick, well-founded selection of the appropriate IOL type.

2.

Examine corneal anomalies effectively

The Belin/Ambrósio Display recognizes changes in corneal shape, whilst Corneal Optical Densitometry enables objective assessment of corneal transparency, for example in Fuchs’ dystrophy, the display can also help visualize structural features such as a LASIK flap.

3.

Calculate the IOL with accuracy

The IOL Calculator uses the measurement data for precise, reliable IOL calculation.

4.

Assess surgical outcomes objectively

The Iris/Retro Image highlights lens opacity for preoperative assessment and helps with postoperative evaluation of the IOL position.

The Pentacam® AXL Wave helps you tailor IOL selection.’

Fully understand the eye and plan the optimal IOL

The foundation for optimal IOL planning

Precise IOL planning begins with accurate measurement data.

The Full Sequence Overview (FSO) provides a structured view of all the eye’s key parameters by combining refraction and wavefront with the data from the established Cataract Pre-OP Display including axial length, corneal tomography, total astigmatism, anterior chamber depth.

Additionally, the display enables a comprehensive plausibility check of the measurement data and an immediate assessment of measurement quality, which in turn creates a reliable foundation for further planning.

The combination with the results of the Belin/Ambrósio Display (BAD) and Corneal Optical Densitometry Display help to identify the appropriate IOL types for the eye in question.

Finally, the Visual Performance Display provides a clear and concise summary of the visual quality that can be achieved with corrective lenses under current conditions – both during day and at night.

Everyday benefits for your clinic

  • Verification of measurement reliability
  • Plausibility check to ensure the consistency of individual measurements
  • Realistic preoperative assessment of corneal optics
  • Confident selection of toric, EDOF, multifocal or aspheric IOLs

Examine corneal anomalies effectively

Assessment of corneal condition and optical quality

The Belin/Ambrósio Display (BAD) analyses the cornea using tomographic data, including the anterior and posterior surfaces and pachymetry, and is considered the gold standard for ectasia screening. This means early shape changes can be identified before a toric or multifocal IOL has been selected.

In addition, Corneal Optical Densitometry (COD) enables the objective assessment of corneal transparency across different layers and zones. Optical opacities, like those associated with endothelial conditions such as Fuchs’ dystrophy, as well as corneal changes i.e. from a LASIK flap, can be identified.

Together, these displays enable comprehensive corneal assessment with a focus on stability and optical quality – and create a reliable foundation for selecting suitable IOLs.

Everyday benefits for your clinic

  • Better protection against refractive surprises
  • Early identification of even subtle corneal changes
  • Greater certainty in reliably selecting appropriate IOLs

Calculate the IOL with accuracy

Precise calculation without manual data entry

The integrated IOL Calculator automatically imports all measurement data and uses modern formulas such as Barrett and Olsen to calculate the appropriate IOL – without the need for manual data entry.

It reliably accounts for even complex cases like toric IOLs, post-refractive corneas (LASIK, PRK, RK) and eyes that have undergone corneal surgery. Differences between both eyes are automatically identified and highlighted.

The IOL Calculator features a built-in IOL database that is constantly updated and expanded. The Barret RX formula is also available for postoperative management.

The results are documented and can be exported into existing practice and clinic systems. In addition, the individual IOL constants can be optimized.

Everyday benefits for your clinic

  • Automatic integration of all measurement data
  • Validation check of irregular results
  • IOL calculation formulas for every corneal shape
  • Regular IOL database updates ensure data is always up to date

Lens assessment under realistic conditions

Integrated retroillumination allows for the postoperative assessment of the toric IOL position in a pseudophakic eye.

This makes it possible to verify whether the intraocular lens is in the planned axial position after implantation.


Everyday benefits for your clinic

  • Evaluation of the position and alignment of the implanted IOL
  • Assistance with identifying the cause in case the patient is dissatisfied

FAQ

How does the Pentacam® AXL Wave simplify IOL selection?

The Pentacam® AXL Wave simplifies IOL selection. In a single measurement process, it captures all essential preoperative parameters for the planning of premium IOLs:

  • Wavefront analysis of the whole eye
  • Objective refraction
  • Retroillumination
  • Optical biometry including axial length measurement
  • Anterior segment tomography

This combined dataset enables a precise assessment of the eye and supports the reliable, evidence-based selection of monofocal, toric, multifocal, and EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lenses.

Does Pentacam® AXL Wave eliminate the need for multiple diagnostic devices?

Yes, the Pentacam® AXL Wave significantly reduces the number of separate measurements and the devices required for cataract planning.

As an all-in-one platform, it combines five essential diagnostic functions into a single device:

  • Wavefront analysis
  • Objective refraction
  • Retroillumination
  • Optical biometry
  • Scheimpflug tomography

All measurements are performed in one rapid sequence. This simplifies the clinical workflow, saving time and space in daily practice.

Can you explain which Pentacam® AXL Wave features streamline IOL calculations and surgery planning?

The Pentacam® AXL Wave simplifies IOL calculation by consolidating all essential steps into one rapid workflow.

  • One device, a single measurement:
    In less than 10 seconds, the system performs a contact-free capture of tomography, biometry, wavefront, refraction, and retroillumination. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple devices.
  • Automatic data transfer:
    The optionally available IOL Calculator directly imports the measurement data. This saves valuable time during surgical planning and prevents transcription errors.
  • All results at a glance:
    Structured layouts (Full Sequence Overview) allow for a rapid assessment of measurement quality. At the same time, the provided data creates the ideal foundation to detect corneal abnormalities early and reliably during screening.

One single measurement provides the complete set of data required for a reliable IOL selection – without manual data entry or switching platform.

As a cataract surgeon, which Pentacam® AXL Wave workflow steps will save me the most time in a high-volume clinic?

The Pentacam® AXL Wave excels at saving valuable time during data acquisition, clinical evaluation, and IOL calculation. Manual data transcription, redundant cross-checks, and the need to switch between multiple devices are significantly reduced.

The most significant time-saving benefits for your clinical workflow are:

  1. Delegable 5-in-1 measurement:
    A single, operator-independent scan captures Scheimpflug tomography, optical biometry, wavefront analysis, objective refraction, and retroillumination in under 10 seconds. The entire measurement process can be easily delegated to trained clinic staff.
  2. Direct clinical evaluation:
    The Full Sequence Overview (FSO) provides a clear layout of all relevant parameters for IOL planning, supporting rapid plausibility checks – without the need to switch systems.
  3. Automated import:
    The integrated IOL Calculator directly imports the measurement data. This saves time and eliminates the risk of manual transcription errors.
  4. Efficient postoperative assessment:
    Utilizing the integrated retroillumination, the position and centration of the implanted IOL can be verified directly on the very same device.
