Corneal imaging
With the question of Dr. Muhammad Hantira - Honorary Assistant Professor, Department of Ophthalmology - Umm Al-Qura University - Saudi Arabia
About the latest devices used in corneal imaging, the following was mentioned:
Pentacam:
It is one of the most important devices that are used in the most important examinations that must be performed before vision correction (LASIK) operations at Middle East Eye Hospital.
The Pentacam device measures the characteristics of the cornea, as it takes 25 internal and external images of the eye and provides a complete analysis of the cornea and lens of the eye to ensure that the eye health is in the normal range and also determines the most appropriate operation for the patient and helps in early detection of keratoconus for many patients and following its develpment.
Corneal elasticity testing device: Ocular Response Analyzer Hysteresis
This device made a quantum leap in the world of ophthalmology, this device works to determine the flexibility and rigidity of the cornea and thus to know the extent of its acceptance for any kind of vision correction and is considered a complement and support for the diagnostic devices in the Middle East Eye Hospital. In addition, it is one of the most important devices required for patients suffering from high eye pressure, which shows the response of the eye to the drugs used to reduce intraocular pressure and the effectiveness of this treatment on the eye.
Corneal Topography: TopolyzerWavelight T-Cat
Accurate device to diagnose corneal topography using the Placido Disk System, the device returns 22,000 Pex landmarks. To create a topographic map of the eye and then instantly identify visual defects, including deviation, corneal keratosis, astigmatism and tilt.
Even in the most difficult situations. The WaveLightTopolyzer VARIO is the ideal tool for preparing for laser and wave vision correction with precision to the topography of the cornea.
