The Pentacam® is a sophisticated eye imaging device that creates detailed 3D maps of the front part of the eye, including the cornea, and the anterior chamber (the space behind the cornea).
The Pentacam provides valuable data for the diagnosis of various conditions, including keratoconus (a condition where the cornea becomes cone-shaped), cataracts, and glaucoma. It also offers essential information for planning refractive surgeries and determining if a patient is a suitable candidate to ensure optimal results. Plus, it helps to monitor disease progression over time and offers valuable data for fitting specialty contact lenses for irregular corneas.
Designed as a rotating camera system, it takes precise measurements without touching the eye or causing any discomfort. Capturing thousands of data points in mere seconds, the machine uses these measurements to create colorful topographic maps that show the shape, thickness, and curvature of the cornea from front to back. It can also measure the depth of the anterior chamber and analyze the lens inside the eye.
