Focus on Corneal Topographers

ATLAS
Carl Zeiss Meditec

The Humphrey Atlas Corneal Topography System is available in two models, the 993 and the 995. The Atlas 993 is for primary care, computerized contact lens fitting and pathology detection. The Atlas 995 is for high-volume corneal and contact lens specialists who require comprehensive and detailed peripheral corneal pupil assessments.

Also available: optional VisionPro Ablation Planning Software, which helps you plan for custom-ablation refractive surgery.

EASYGRAPH
Oculus

The Oculus Easygraph measures 8.5" x 4" x 4.5" and weighs 2 lbs. This compact topographer mounts to your slit lamp, providing data for refractive surgery consultations and contact lens fittings.

The Easygraph has a built-in keratometer that provides true keratometric data with high resolution -- 22,000 measuring points and 22 placido rings.

KR-8000PA
Topcon

The KR-8000PA Auto Kerato-Refractometer combines an autorefractor, autokeratometer and computerized color corneal mapping system into a single unit.

The KR-8000PA incorporates ten placido rings for enhanced testing precision, providing corneal mapping measurements out to 10 mm.

OPD-SCAN
Nidek

The compact OPD-Scan combines a refractive power analyzer, wavefront analyzer, corneal topographer and autorefractor/keratometer into one unit. The unit produces all measurements and maps in diopters, covering -20 to +22 D sphere and -16 to +16 D cylinder.

Also, the OPD-Scan offers axis alignment between topography and wavefront maps.

ORBSCAN
Bausch & Lomb

The Orbscan II analyzes elevation and curvature measurements on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea.

B&L says that with the Orbscan II you can identify exclusionary criteria -- such as keratoconus, pre-keratoconus and corneal thinning -- to optimize outcomes.

SCOUT
EyeQuip

The Scout Topographer features infrared pupillometry and corneal wavefront mapping. The infrared pupillometer lets you take pupil-diameter measurements in either light or dark conditions. The corneal wavefront mapping display shows both lower- and higher-order aberrations, either of which can be removed from the map.

Three models are available: Portable with battery, slit lamp-mounted, and tabletop with a headrest.

3-D WAVE
Marco

The 3-D Wave gives you three types of data: Topography, refraction and wavefront analysis.

Under topography data, the 3-D Wave offers several maps, including the Instantaneous Map, which shows the true shape or terrain of the cornea for pathology detection. Under refraction data, the 3-D Wave offers the Optical Path Difference Map, which displays the distribution of aberrations within a 6-mm zone. Under wavefront data, the 3-D Wave offers higher- and lower-order wavefront maps.

TMS-4
Tomey

The TMS-4 features light cones to eliminate shadows from the patient's nose and brow, while providing coverage of the cornea.

In addition, the low light level of the TMS-4 "provides patient comfort as the laser alignment system quickly and accurately captures an image."

Plus, the TMS-4 comes with:

• single, dual and multiple maps
• astigmatism display options
• statistical and contact lens- fitting software.

More Products & Services

To help maintain the anterior chamber, the Kershner II One-Step Micro Capsulorrhexis Forceps has irrigation capabilities.

BI-MANUAL FORCEPS
The Kershner II One-Step Micro Capsulorrhexis Forceps can pass through a 1.1-mm incision, thanks to 22-gauge tubing.

The jaws of the forceps are close to the distal tube, so you can grasp the subincisional anterior capsule without interference from the incision. Moreover, the jaws have sharp cystotome tips that can pinch, open and grasp the capsule in one motion, without the need for a separate cystotome.

CIBA Vision says AQuify is the first contact lens comfort drop with a naturally disappearing preservative.

AQUIFY
CIBA Vision has developed AQuify, a new contact lens comfort drop that mimics the behavior of natural tears.

AQuify's main ingredient is sodium hyaluronate. This means all contact lens wearers can use AQuify, including those with preservative allergies or extra-sensitive eyes.

According to data on file at CIBA Vision, 84% of participants in a study reported that AQuify was good, very good or excellent for moisturizing and relief of dryness. Also, 80% of daily wear patients and 74% of extended wear patients said that using AQuify enhanced their lens-wearing experience.
