Oculus has unveiled the Pentacam Cornea OCT, an innovative device that integrates Scheimpflug imaging with the world’s first pericentric OCT scanning system. This dual imaging technology captures both Scheimpflug and ultra high-resolution OCT images of the cornea in just one second, allowing for detailed corneal assessments. The Pentacam Cornea OCT can measure all refractive layers and visualize sublayers, aiding in the early detection of ectasia, surgical planning, and postoperative care.
The Pentacam Cornea OCT offers simultaneous acquisition of Scheimpflug and OCT images at identical corneal locations. This unique combination provides unprecedented detail, enabling clinicians to perform comprehensive evaluations of corneal anomalies and the structure of refractive layers. Such detailed visualization is crucial for detecting conditions like corneal ectasia, planning surgeries, and monitoring postoperative results.
In addition to its imaging advancements, the Pentacam Cornea OCT is fully compatible with existing Pentacam examination data. This means that regardless of the model or software version, the device can seamlessly integrate with historical data, ensuring efficient follow-up examinations and progression tracking.
Oculus will present the Pentacam Cornea OCT at the 2024 European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) conference in Barcelona. Attendees can explore the device firsthand at the Oculus booth (7.E24), while experts will share trial results and discuss clinical applications during the Oculus Lunch Symposium.
