The new Belin ABCD Progression Display is now available for all OCULUS Pentacam® models. This tomographic keratoconus progression Display is based on the ABCD keratoconus classification by Prof. Belin, MD, USA, which independently grades the anterior corneal surface, posterior corneal surface, corneal thickness, and visual acuity.

Its main benefit is the evaluation of the posterior cornea and the corneal thickness at its thinnest spot. This information is not accessible with Placido topographers and emphasizes the benefit of anterior segment tomographers. Since every single parameter is graded and presented in a diagram, possible progression can be easily and quickly detected.

The new Belin ABCD Progression Display is a free update for all Pentacam®/Pentacam® HR/Pentacam® AXL users and works retrospectively for all previously taken Pentacam® examinations. This helpful progression display is included in the software of every new Pentacam®/Pentacam® HR/Pentacam® AXL device.

This new function is now available for the Keratograph 5M software. Reference images allow you to assess the condition of the meibomian glands effectively and with ease. The results are automatically entered into your JENVIS Dry Eye Report – a masterpiece of dry eye diagnostics.
