OCULUS

Pentacam® Family

DiagnosticTomography & Biometry

The gold standard in anterior segment tomography: Scheimpflug imaging, optical biometry, wavefront and cornea OCT in five models.

Pentacam is the reference device for analysing the cornea and anterior eye segment, made in Germany since 2002. Its rotating Scheimpflug camera measures the whole anterior segment in seconds, without contact and independent of the tear film. Depending on the model it adds optical biometry, whole-eye wavefront with objective refraction, or high-resolution cornea OCT. It is used in cataract and refractive surgery, keratoconus and CXL, contact lens fitting and myopia management.

Key features

  1. 01

    The gold standard

    More than 16,400 Pentacams in use worldwide, referenced in 2,683 PubMed publications, and supported by OCULUS in over 80 countries.

  2. 02

    Keratoconus and CXL

    Belin ABCD Staging and Progression Displays track anterior and posterior corneal change and thinnest-point pachymetry, to guide CXL timing and post-CXL follow-up.

  3. 03

    Safer refractive surgery

    The Belin/Ambrósio Display combines anterior and posterior elevation with pachymetric progression for ectasia risk assessment, including borderline cases.

  4. 04

    Premium IOL selection

    The Cataract Pre-OP Display flags findings that may limit toric, multifocal or EDOF IOLs. Includes total corneal refractive power, IOL calculator and Barrett Rx.

  5. 05

    Scheimpflug + OCT (Cornea OCT)

    1.9 µm ultra-high-resolution OCT over the entire cornea, taken simultaneously with Scheimpflug at identical locations, with an epithelial map and layer segmentation.

  6. 06

    Grow your premium services

    Supports premium services: refractive surgery, premium IOLs and special contact lenses. "We make 80% of our sales on premium services." (Prof. Rohit Shetty, Narayana Nethralaya)

  7. 07

    Fast workflow

    Measurement takes under 2 minutes. Measuring, assessing, educating, planning and documenting takes about 5 minutes per patient, with 40+ displays and traffic-light colour scales patients understand.
