Pentacam opens eyes to new diagnostic possibilities

The Oculus Pentacam is an essential tool for diagnosis and management of corneal, cataract, and refractive surgery.

The innovative technology of the Pentacam has enabled physicians to analyze the front surfaces of the eye with an accuracy that was previously not available, thus permitting them to diagnose eye conditions and diseases with greater confidence.

The pentacam captures a high resolution image of the anterior eye segment and provides information from the anterior corneal surface to the posterior crystalline capsule.  The images generated are three-dimensional rotating models used for corneal topographic and chamber analysis.  They are movable presentations that are highly reliable and precise.

Key advantages of the rotating image process are:

• Precise measurements of the central cornea
• The correction of the eye's movement
• The easy fixation for the patient
• Extremely short examination time
