This device is a system for evaluating the anterior eye structure, and using a special imaging method (Scheimpflug camera) provides the surgeon with a precise and reliable information on the cornea and the anterior chamber (AC) aiding him to make a proper decision for treating the patient.
The elevation of the anterior and posterior cornea surfaces, the cornea thickness at different spots, the slope of the thickness changes and the depth of the anterior chamber are the most significant of such data. Evaluation of patients seeking refractive errors surgery is the most significant application of this device and through investigating its data in such cases, the surgeon can select the appropriate treatment for each patient. The device’s data are also quite contributive in detecting and following up ectatic corneal diseases (ECD), namely, keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration.
