This software provides a standardized method of selective quantification of corneal opacities. The maximum and average corneal opacity is displayed in a color map. Opacities can also be viewed in selected layers. Corneal opacities are shown for defined annuli and depths, facilitating uniform evaluation. This function served as a basis in the normative data studies listed below.

PNS and 3D Cataract Analysis

Uses

  • Cataract classification
  • Determination of lens opacities in 3D

Details

Opacities of the cornea, crystalline lens or of IOLs, e.g. PCO (posterior capsular opacification) are made visible by blue light illumination. The software allows automatic and objective three-dimensional quantification of lens opacity. This offers the advantage of an optimal follow-up of cataract patients. The Pentacam® Nucleus Staging Module, „PNS“ for short, was developed in collaboration with Dr. Donald Nixon. This parameter is helpful in optimizing the settings of phaco machines. It is also useful in femto laser assisted cataract surgery.

Cataract Pre-OP Display

Cataract Pre-OP Display was developed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Naoyuki Maeda from the University Medical School in Osaka, Japan. This display assists users in selecting the optimal premium IOL.

To do this, the following parameters are taken into consideration:

  1. overall corneal astigmatism,
  2. total corneal spherical aberrations,
  3. total corneal irregularities and
  4. the influence of the posterior corneal surface.

CSP Report Pro

CSP Report Pro: Single-Shot Topography for Efficient & Convenient Scleral Lens Fittings

The new single-scan Scheimpflug technology of the CSP Report Pro can achieve extensive coverage in one acquisition, though practitioners can take as few or as many scans needed to capture optimal data while focusing on patient comfort. It captures topographic measurement of the cornea, sclera, and sagittal height. For patients and eye care professionals, the CSP Report Pro enables an easier process for fitting scleral and corneal lenses of every type and diameter.

The CSP Report Pro is integrated as part of the examination routine, which guides the user through the imaging process. Since neither the patient nor the device need to be repositioned, the intuitive guide enables fast examination of both eyes within just a few minutes.

Enjoy a patient-friendly imaging process since the CSP Report Pro measurement is fast, non-contact, and doesn’t require fluorescein. Practitioners also benefit because the measurement process is user-independent, reliable, straightforward, and tear film-independent.

Contact Lens Fitting

Uses

  • Automatic suggestions for contact lenses
  • Realistic fluo image simulation
  • Integrated database containing over 845,000 lenses

Details

Dynamic fluo image simulation produces an image of how a specific contact lens from the database fits on the eye. The simulation makes it possible to adjust the inclination and position of the contact lens and includes automatic recalculation of the fluo image. The integrated and expandable database contains over 845,000 lenses. The contact lens geometries can be adjusted individually in cases where fitting is difficult. The user can establish his or her own ranking list for contact lens manufacturers.

3D pIOL Simulation and Aging Prediction

Uses

  • Pre-surgical planning of an iris-supported phakic anterior chamber lens    
  • Simulation of the post-operative position of the phakic anterior chamber lens    
  • Simulation of age-related lens growth and the position of the anterior chamber lens resulting from this

Details

The examiner enters the data on the patient's subjective refraction. Depending on the type of lens in question, the software calculates the necessary refractive power of the pIOL. The examiner selects a phakic IOL from the current database accordingly. The position of this pIOL in the anterior chamber is calculated in 3D and displayed in Scheimpflug images. The minimal distances between the phakic IOL and the crystalline lens as well as between the pIOL and the endothelium are calculated automatically and represented both in colour and numerically. This enables the examiner to give the patient visual information and facilitates patient selection.

Holladay Report

Uses

  • Comprehensive comparative display of clinical data
  • EKRs (equivalent keratometer readings) for IOL calculations in post-refractive patients

Details

The Holladay Report was developed in collaboration with Jack T. Holladay, M.D. It supplies data for calculating the optimal IOL refractive power for patients who have undergone refractive corneal surgery such as LASIK, PRK and RK. It determines total corneal power, displaying it in terms of EKRs for different zones.

IOL Calculator

Uses

  • comprehensive IOL planning
  • IOL calculation
  • documentation
  • constant optimization

Details

Originally developed for the Pentacam® AXL, the IOL Calculator is now also available in the Pentacam® HR. It offers space for up to 25 ophthalmologists to maintain their own set of up to 50 favourite IOLs. A large IOL database has been incorporated into the software for this purpose. If an IOL should ever be found missing, it can be added manually. Each user initializes their personal IOL Calculator by picking IOLs from their favourites list. If no further changes are made and everything has been set up as desired, the user only needs to load an examination, and the software will automatically calculate IOLs suitable for that patient. In doing so it takes into account the keratometry data, the induced astigmatism and the target refraction. Templates for calculating spherical, aspherical, multifocal, toric and toric multifocal IOLs as well as post-refractive-surgery IOLS are included. In addition to the standard formulas of SRK/T, Haigis, HofferQ, Holladay and Barrett Universal II it also provides Pentacam®-specific post-refractive-surgery IOL formulas derived from dedicated studies. The well-known double K formulas and the three Barrett formulas have been incorporated here as well. But the real highlight in the IOL Calculator is its ability to calculate toric IOLs based on TCRP (total corneal refractive power) according to Dr. Savini. Toric IOL calculation according to Barrett is also in the repertoire. After surgery the implanted IOL can be loaded from t he templates and saved along with the date of surgery. After successfully entering the post-refractive outcome (≥ 30 days) the examination can be earmarked for constant optimization.

The software also provides interfaces for calculating IOLs with the Okulix and Phaco Optics raytracing programs as well as for incorporating further calculators such as the Holladay Consultant.
