2023 Myopia Product Showcase –
Summary
The AL-Scan M measures axial length, considered a key parameter for predicting and monitoring myopia progression, according to clinical and scientific literature. The results enhanced a previous three-year follow-up study1, a continuation of a two-year randomised control trial (RCT)2, which was published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, demonstrating strong evidence of the lens’ effectiveness in slowing down the progression of myopia in children ages 8-13. All of these parameters are then displayed on a single biometry report, giving clinicians a greater understanding of the myopic eye.” The OCULUS family of Pentacam anterior segment, total-corneal tomographer continues to expand on its diagnostic capabilities, with the addition of the Corneal Scleral Profiling module for 3D corneal planning of scleral contact lenses, and updates to keratoconus screening and progression analysis. The Pentacam AXL expands on its hi-resolution anterior segment capabilities with the addition of integrated optical biometry for total corneal IOL calculation and myopia management and monitoring. Improves Practice Efficiency and Economics: Studies show that optomap images are faster to capture and easier to review than traditional patient examination techniques.
