How to Check Ortho-K
with the Pentacam®

Quickly, Simply, Precisely

The Pentacam® was developed in order to highlight complex changes in the cornea. And that’s what’s so crucial in the Ortho-K process. With the latest Pentacam® display, you can now evaluate orthokeratology contact lenses even more quickly and precisely than before, aided by its intuitive visualisation. This makes it easy for you to share complex results with your customers.

Discover the key functions and advantages for Ortho-K Follow-up now:

Ortho-K Follow Up Display from Pentacam

Automatically Calculated
Plus Power Ring

The Plus Power Ring (PPR) shows you whether the Ortho-K contact lenses correspond to the therapeutic objective in terms of their fit and efficacy. You can see at a glance whether the lens is working correctly or needs adjusting.

Your benefits:

  • Reliable evaluation
  • Clear basis for decision-making
  • Less room for interpretation

New Difference Map With Profile Section

The difference map makes any changes to the cornea clearly visible. Changes are not just measured but shown in a clear way.

Your benefits:

  • Before/after comparisons based on the data
  • Clear visualisation for consultations
  • A high degree of clarity for your customers

Simple Follow-Ups with Baseline Reference

Once it has been established, the Baseline serves as a reliable starting point for any changes in curvature and/or refraction. Each Follow-up appointment is built on this.

Your benefits:

  • Comparable measurements
  • Seamless documentation of progress
  • Objective trends instead of isolated readings

PPR Pupil Ratio in Myopia Management

The PPR pupil ratio provides you with useful information about whether the Ortho-K contact lens is suitable for managing myopia.

Your benefits:

  • Combines Ortho-K and myopia mangagement
  • Substantiated assessment for children
  • Support for conversations with parents

Developed for Optometrists

Fitting Ortho-K lenses, particularly as part of myopia management, is not something to be rushed. It’s a long-term process of accompanying the customer.

The latest Pentacam® display helps you:

  • To identify developments in good time
  • To document progression in a clear way
  • To make decisions based on solid data
  • To visibly take responsibility

Precision Scleral Lens Fitting
with the Pentacam®

As you know from your daily practice, fitting scleral lenses is a complex process. You carry a significant clinical responsibility, particularly when managing keratoconus, post-refractive surgery cases, or irregular corneas.

The challenge: Traditional topographers provide reliable data for the cornea. However, they only capture a fraction of the area that scleral lenses actually cover. What lies beyond the cornea often remains unmeasured.

In your day-to-day practice, this means:

  • Fitting decisions are partly based on assumptions
  • More trial lenses and additional chair time
  • Clinical outcomes are harder to predict
  • Explaining the process to your patients becomes more complicated
Contact Lens Fitting – Scleral lenses: CSP Report Pro: Measurement up to a sagittal height of 22 mm for scleral lens fitting.

How to Analyse the Entire Ocular Surface

With the Pentacam® CSP Report, you capture the complete area from the cornea out to the sclera.

Your benefits:

  • You obtain a continuous corneo-scleral profile – the essential foundation for precise scleral lens fitting.
  • The measurement is entirely non-contact and integrates seamlessly into your clinical workflow.
  • You gain a comprehensive data set to drive all your fitting decisions.
  • It eliminates the need for guesswork in the peripheral zones.
  • You achieve significantly greater clinical confidence when managing complex cases.

Advanced Analysis with the CSP Report Pro in Just One Scan

With the CSP Report Pro, you benefit from an extended measurement range, capturing the entire area in a single scan.

Your benefits:

  • Coverage of up to 22 mm for large-diameter scleral lenses
  • Fast measurement of both eyes
  • Highly reproducible results

Reproducible and Comparable Measurements

All measurements are securely stored and can be comprehensively analysed.

Your benefits:

  • Clear progression tracking
  • Objective clinical assessment
  • Reliable documentation

Developed for Your Daily Practice

Fitting scleral lenses is a continuous process. To achieve a successful fit, you need robust data to guide you every step of the way.

The Pentacam® empowers you to:

  • Comprehensively document your fitting process
  • Make data-driven clinical decisions
  • Confidently identify ocular changes
  • Showcase your clinical expertise

Seamless Integration into Your Clinical Workflow

As an optional software module, the CSP Report integrates directly with compatible Pentacam® models – without the need for additional hardware.

Effortless integration for compatible systems:

  • Direct data export into the fitting software of participating contact lens manufacturers.
  • No manual data entry. No transcription errors.
  • Save valuable chair time and increase the accuracy of your fitting outcomes.

Precision in Fitting:
A Smarter Way to Empirical Scleral Lens Fitting

In this video series, contact lens specialist Daddi Fadel demonstrates how you can use the Pentacam® CSP Report for your scleral lens fitting.Learn how to analyze the shape of the sclera in detail, select a suitable lens, and predict how the lens will fit.

What you will learn in this video:

  • Interpreting the Corneal-Scleral Elevation Map:
    How to correctly read elevation maps, establish the relationship between the elevation map and sagittal height, and use this information to predict how a lens will sit on the eye.
  • Scleral Lens Fitting Using the Pentacam® CSP Report:
    How to use the CSP Report effectively to determine lens parameters based on the scleral profile, making your fitting process more efficient.
  • The Relationship Between Scleral Profile and Lens Diameter:
    How to select the appropriate scleral lens diameter based on scleral shape and simplify your scleral lens fitting.
  • Monitoring: Follow-Up Care for Scleral Lens Patients:
    Use this case example to learn what to look for during follow-up care for scleral lens patients and gain greater confidence in managing special cases.
