Switzerland-based Haag-Streit AG has released a new corneal ectasia display for its Eyestar 900 swept-source-based precision optical coherence tomography (OCT) analyzer.
Tell me more about the Eyestar 900.
The fully-automated device is designed to provide highly accurate laser optic measurements of the eye, from the cornea to the retina.
As the first optical biometer on the market that measures the thickness of the crystalline lens, it includes a user-friendly interface and optimized workflow to provide precise measurements. Data from high-quality cross-sectional eye images can be acquired in an estimated 40 seconds.
What else?
Its Cataract Suite features swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) biometry, dual-zone precision keratometry, anterior and posterior corneal topography, lens tilt analysis, vision simulation, and Zernike wavefront (as well as built-in IOL calculation methods such as Hill-RBF 3.0).
Using SS-OCT-based biometry, the device’s Anterior Chamber covers up to 12 mm diameter on the anterior and posterior cornea, as well as 18 mm diameter OCT images of the anterior chamber (for analysis of lens structure, chamber angle, or implantable collamer lens [ICL] vault.)
And the Mandala scan technology includes trajectories of the scan aligned in an interwoven and dense pattern that combine with OCT-inherent motion compensation to deliver a highly-precise, three-dimensional data set.
Now talk about this new display.
The new corneal ectasia display features the following:
- OCT-based topography to record elevation information from the front and back surface of the cornea
- Pachymetry maps and profiles
- Belin ABCD grading, which defines keratoconus up to four parameters
- Complementary parameters for identifying early signs of ectatic changes and keratoconus.
Can I find it in the United States?
Unfortunately, the unit is not currently available in the US at this time. Contact Haag Streit to learn more here.
