What is Allegro Oculyzer?

Description. The ALLEGRO Oculyzer performs topography measurements of the front and back surfaces of the cornea and corneal volume. Advanced topography measurements enable pre-operative planning for any corneal refractive treatment and allow progression control after corneal surgery.

What is a pentacam in ophthalmology?

The Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner is a rotating camera that photographs both the anterior (front) and posterior (back) surfaces and other areas of the cornea (the front part of the eye).

What is a pentacam used for?

The Pentacam system is commonly used in clinical practice for its myriad functions, including evaluation of cataracts, glaucoma screening, advanced calculations for the power of intraocular lenses, guiding deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, and imaging of post-LASIK or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) eyes.

What is the oculus pentacam?

The OCULUS Pentacam® is a high-resolution rotating Scheimpflug camera and slit illumination system that enables precise and reliable imaging and analysis of the anterior segment structures of the eye such as the cornea, iris and crystalline lens.

What is corneal imaging?

Corneal imaging is widely used by ophthalmologists to understand the shape and curvature of the cornea. Corneal topography evaluates the anterior surface of the cornea and displays the information using a color-coded map.

What is a Topolyzer?

WaveLight Vario Topolyzer is an advanced corneal mapping device used to perform Topography-guided Custom Ablation Treatment (T-CAT) or Contoura LASIK. This information is seamlessly integrated into WaveLight EX500 excimer laser for the perfect custom LASIK surgery.

What is a pentacam topography?

The Pentacam is one of the most advanced technologies in the art of corneal topography, with its ability to produce additional imaging and calculation of corneal curvature, contour and tissue density at the microscopic level.

Why do we check pentacam in eyes?

PENTACAM is for diagnosis and management of various corneal curvature abnormalities and diseases such as: Keratoconus, a degenerative condition that causes a thinning of the cornea. Corneal transplant or keratoplasty surgery. Corneal scars or opacities.

Is pentacam test painful?

The procedure itself is painless and brief. It is a noncontact examination that photographs the surface of the eye. Pentacam is not a routine test. Rather, it is used in diagnosing certain types of problems, in evaluating a disease’s progression, in fitting some types of contact lenses, and in planning surgery.

How do you read a pentacam scan?

A value between 0 to -1 is considered normal and indicates a prolate shape (steep centre and flat periphery). A value >0 indicates an oblate cornea (flat centre and steep periphery) and a value < -1 indicates a hyperprolate cornea as seen in corneal ectasia.

What is the Pentacam comprehensive eye scanner?

The Pentacam Comprehensive Eye Scanner is a rotating camera that photographs both the anterior (front) and posterior (back) surfaces and other areas of the cornea (the front part of the eye).

What is the Pentacam used to measure?

The Pentacam (or any of the other corneal topographers- the Oculus, Galilei, OPD, Atlas, etc.) are used to measure the curvature and irregularities in the shape of the cornea.

Is oculyzer the same as wavelight?

WaveLight Inc. announced a joint agreement with German-based Oculus GmbH to sell the Oculus Pentacam under the brand name Oculyzer in conjunction with the Allegretto Wave family of products. I hope this helps.

What is oculyzer topography and how does it work?

Pentacam Oculyzer Topography is used to monitor the cornea and gives us reliable results in seconds. It is highly sophisticated in its way of portraying the cornea, because it is controlled by three-dimensional imaging of the latest technology.
