& Lomb's Orbscan II® is a fully integrated
multidimensional diagnostic system that elevates diagnostics beyond mere
topography. Unlike current topography systems which scan the surface of
the eye at standard points, the Orbscan II acquires over 9000 data
points in 1.5 seconds to meticulously map the entire corneal surface (11
mm), and analyze elevation and curvature measurements on both the
anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea.
By providing more comprehensive pre-op
diagnostics and planning, exclusionary criteria such as keratoconus, pre-keratoconus,
and corneal thinning can be identified to optimize outcomes in both
primary treatments and enhancements. The Orbscan II may help explain
decreased visual acuity post-op, and is designed to allow the surgeon to
more accurately prescribe retreatments, if necessary.
