OCULUS Pentacam®

For a High-Level Entry

The Pentacam® provides you with an overall view of the anterior eye segment in a matter of seconds. Measurements are performed by auto-release and accompanied by a quality test, and are thus guaranteed to be fast, reproducible and delegable.

The Pentacam® comes with an extensive basic software package which can be extended according to your needs to include further optional software packages and modules.

Pentacam - Topography_MapThe rotating measurement principle guarantees high resolution of the measuring points in the central cornea. Topographic analysis of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces is based on the measured real height data. These provide the basis for:

  1. Sagittal (axial), tangential (local)curvature maps, refractive power maps of the anterior and posterior corneal surface.
  2. Elevation maps of the anterior and posterior corneal surface.
  3. Four color coded maps display for refractive assessment.
  4. Topometric display for detailed corneal shape assessment including True Net Power Topography based keratoconus detection and classification.
  5. Comparison and differential displays.

Pentacam - Pachymetry_Map
Pachymetry maps:

An overview representation in color shows the corneal thickness from limbus to limbus. The measured values can be displayed in a pre-determined grid or represented manually at any point via mouse click.

Automatic representation of: 1. Corneal thickness in the centre of the pupil. 2. Corneal thickness in the apex. 3. The thinnest point of the cornea.

 

Pentacam - Tomography
Applications:

Fast overview of gathered data.
Changes which become visible in the Scheimpflug image are represented amazingly well in a 3D model.
Details:

The rotatable and moveable 3D model of the anterior eye segment proves to be an enormous help in patient’s education. The patient can see his eye from all sides. Irregularities can be explained easily in this way.

Pentacam - Iris_Camera
Applications:

  • Overview image of the iris to recognize landmarks
  • Automatic determination of the corneal diameter (HWTW)
  • Determination of pupil location and shape

 

 

Details:

The OCULUS Pentacam®, as well as the OCULUS Pentacam® HR, are now equipped with an improved iris camera optic. The corneal diameter (HWTW) is calculated automatically from the iris photo and can be used for the selection and calculation of IOLs and pIOLs as well as for contact lenses.

Pentacam - Berlin_Embrosio

The Belin/Ambrosio Enhanced Ectasia display is the first screening tool which combines elevation data of the anterior and posterior corneal surface with corneal thickness progression analysis. It was developed in collaboration with Prof. Michael W. Belin, M.D. and Renato Ambrosio Jr., M.D.. Originally designed for myopic eyes it is now available for hyperopic eyes too. In addition to its overall more precise keratoconus detection this screening facilitates early detection in particular. The corneal thickness progression analysis is calculated using concentric rings, starting at the thinnest point and extending to the periphery. The evaluation of deviations from the standard elevation map and the enhanced elevation map is made easier by displaying the results in green, yellow and red. Several single indices are individually calculated. They are then combined into one global index and displayed color coded.

 

Pentacam - Anterior_Chamber
Applications:

  • Glaucoma screening
  • Pre- to post-operative comparison of changes in anterior chamber, e.g. after Iridectomy

Details:

  • Tomographic representation, virtual model of anterior segment
  • Automatic calculation of
  • Anterior Chamber Angle (ACA)
  • Anterior Chamber Volume (ACV)
  • Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD), internal or external

 

Core Functions

A complete diagnosis in just the bat of an eye.

Within just two seconds the Pentacam® supplies you with precise diagnostic data on the entire anterior eye segment. The degree of corneal or crystalline lens density is made visible by the light scattering properties of the crystalline lens and is automatically quantified by the software. Measurement of the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces supplies the total refractive power as well as the thickness of the cornea over its entire area. The data on the posterior surface provide optimal assistance in the early detection of ectatic changes.

The rotating scan supplies a large number of data points in the center of the cornea. A supplementary pupil camera captures eye movements during the examination for subsequent automatic correction of measured data.
