entacam or pentacam examination
It is a very advanced examination performed by a very advanced (CSO Sirius) device, and it is the last science reached in this type of examination as it combines two methods of taking pictures of the cornea, which are the two most accurate and globally widespread methods - the rest of the devices take pictures in one way This greatly enhances the accuracy of the examination.
With the question of Dr. Muhammad Hantira - Honorary Assistant Professor - Department of Ophthalmology - Umm Al-Qura University - Saudi Arabia
He pointed out that
the examination is very important before performing visual correction operations, such as Lasik, of various types, as it provides very accurate and important information such as the outer and inner corneal topography, it also provides a map of the thickness of the cornea, and very accurate information about any corneal curvatures that are not visible to the naked eye.
The device is also used in diagnosing keratoconus and a group of similar diseases, and the device is characterized by the ability to make a very accurate comparison between the new and previous tests with unprecedented accuracy.
The device is also used in pre-implantation examinations, implantation of rings, and rigid lens design.
The device also provides a special examination for glaucoma , it provides a measurement of corneal thickness and the introduction of intraocular pressure into an equation so that the real eye pressure is calculated accurately regardless of the thickness of the cornea. And it is one of the most important information required in many eye operations.
The device provides an accurate cross-sectional image of the cornea, which allows to determine the depth of light superficial corneal fibrosis for laser removal.
