Accutome
The PachPen's ergonomic design makes taking measurements quick and easy, and its gentle-touch probe ensures patient comfort, says Accutome. The unit has the ability to take nine readings and average them. The IOP-correction calculator converts entered IOP measurements from a tonometer in seconds. Accutome's Digital Signal Analysis actually examines waveforms and eliminates marginally aligned measurements, a major improvement over older pachymeters.
The AccuPach V has a user-friendly touch-tone screen and a revolutionary voice output feature that calls out readings, allowing the user to concentrate more on the patient, rather than the unit. State-of-the-art digital signal analysis combined with a probe-sampling rate of 65 MHz ensures accurate measurements and digital waveform technology helps to ensure measurements are properly aligned. The AccuPach V also contains an IOP- Correction Calculator.

Carl Zeiss Meditec
The GDx from Carl Zeiss Meditec provides highly detailed and reproducible retinal nerve fiber layer analysis of a 20° x 20° area around the optic disc. It compares measurements to a large, multi-racial normative database and has been shown to predict visual field loss. In addition, the instrument has a unique "screening mode" to help assess which patients require a full glaucoma workup.
Scans are performed easily, do not require dilation and take between 1 and 3 minutes, says CZM. Results are operator-independent, which is especially important for analyzing change over time. The GDx features make it an ideal diagnostic and management tool for glaucoma specialists, says the company.

by the OHTS investigators. The Model 555 Pachette 3 is capable of measuring and
storing up to
25 measurements bilaterally in as little as 1.6 seconds per eye.
The IOP- correction calculation is built into the software.
The backlit LCD character displays OD and OS measurements, running average, standard deviation and IOP-correction calculation.

Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3
The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3 (HRT3) is newly enhanced for the assessment, diagnosis and management of glaucoma. The HRT3 uses laser technology to produce a topographical image of the patient's optic nerve, providing an objective analysis of the structure's cup, rim and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). A new feature of the HRT3, the Glaucoma Probability Score, is generated by artificial intelligence known as relevance vector machine (RVM). This analysis provides a statistical probability of damage using ethnic-specific databases based on the 3-D shape of the optic disc and RNFL. This software eliminates the need to draw contour lines and provides real-time feedback to assist the operator in acquiring a quality image. It also monitors the patient's condition over time, comparing baseline images to follow-up examinations, highlighting areas of statistically significant progression.

Optos
The Optomap is an effective tool to aid in the detection of glaucoma or a glaucoma suspect, says Optos. The software allows users to compare the right and left eye side-by-side, enabling assessment of any difference in the optic nerves. Differences can be qualitatively and quantitatively distinguished. The Optos Review software includes a tool to determine if the patient is a glaucoma suspect — the ISNT rule. First, users draw the part of the neuroretinal rim with the thickest tissue, which is inferior, followed by superior, nasal and temporal rim, the last being the thinnest. The software gives users a cup-to-disc and vertical cup-to-disc measurement. Glaucomatous discs typically violate the ISNT rule when there is damage at the superior and inferior poles of the disc. The annotation color will indicate if the result is within expected parameters; green when results are within expected parameters and pink when results should be queried.

Quantel Medical
Quantel Medical introduces Pocket II, a portable precision pachymeter that fits in a lab coat pocket and is perfect for glaucoma screening, says the company. Since it is powered by 4 AA batteries or AC power, it can easily move between exam rooms or be taken to a satellite office.
With a measurement range of 200 to 999 μm and accuracy of +/- 5 μm, the Pocket II is designed to measure corneal thickness in a wide variety of clinical and surgical applications. Recording from one to 10 measurements with automatic averaging and a built-in test block, this system is predicted to exceed your expectations. Pocket II combines ease of use with one-touch accuracy, precision and reliability.

Reichert
The Ocular Response Analyzer utilizes a dynamic bi-directional applanation process to provide the world's first direct measure of corneal biomechanical properties, says Reichert. This new measurement, called corneal hysteresis (CH), is a measurement of viscous damping in the corneal tissue and is an indicator of the overall integrity of the cornea. In addition to its usefulness in the identification of corneal pathologies such as keratoconus and Fuchs' dystrophy, clinical investigations have shown that the CH measurement provides an independent indicator of progression in glaucoma. Due to its ability to determine corneal biomechanical properties, the Ocular Response Analyzer can also present IOPcc, a new measure of IOP that correlates with Goldmann on average, but is less affected by corneal properties, such as elasticity, resistance and thickness. The instrument also features a built-in ultrasound pachymeter and a comprehensive patient-management database.

Topcon Medical Systems
The CT-80 Non-Contact Computerized Tonometer makes intraocular pressure readings easier and more comfortable, says Topcon. With the aid of a new alignment bar and an improved air cylinder, the interval time between measurements has been reduced by over 30%. The CT-80 also features a triple-patient safety function with an adjustable safety stopper set by the operator, a "too-close" display to guide alignment and a warning buzzer to inform the operator if the cornea and the instrument are too close. Topcon's innovative dual-sensor measuring system eliminates atmospheric and environmental influences on the measuring results. Additional features include an internal fixation target and alignment via infrared illumination for increased patient comfort. A built-in printer prints up to three measurements and an average value for each eye.
