- Conclusion
1. Spectral Domain OCT Technology:
- Ability to image the corneal layers with *very high resolution*, measure the thickness of the cornea accurately, and evaluate the anatomical structures of the eye.
- Ability to simultaneously examine the *anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea*, the depth of the anterior chamber, and the angle of the eye.
2. Advanced Topography:
- High-precision 3D mapping of the corneal curvature.
- Dedicated *Keratoconus (corneal hump) diagnosis screen* to identify the early stages of this disease.
3. Additional capabilities:
- Pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement)*.
- Piopilography: Determining the appropriate contact lenses for the curvature of the cornea.
- Determining the power of the intraocular lens (IOL Power): Using the **Ray-tracing* method for cataract surgeries.
1. *Keratoconus Diagnosis and Monitoring*:
- Identify early stages of the disease by analyzing changes in corneal curvature and thickness.
- Monitor disease progression after augmentation surgeries such as *Crosslinking*.
2. *Dry eye assessment*:
- Analyze tear film stability and corneal surface quality.
3. *Vision correction surgeries*:
- Accurately determine corneal thickness before *LASIK, LASEK, PRK* and other refractive surgeries.
- Simulate surgical outcomes using topographic data.
4. *Contact and intraocular lens determination*:
- Accurately fit rigid contact lenses (RGP) for patients with astigmatism or keratoconus.
- Calculating the power of intraocular lenses (IOL) in cataract surgery.
5. *Corneal transplant review*:
- Assessing recovery after transplant and determining when to remove sutures to prevent corneal irregularities.
- *Topography and OCT integration*: Reducing the need for multiple devices and increasing the accuracy of diagnosis.
- *Keratoconus dedicated screen*: Providing automatic reports for faster diagnosis of the disease.
- *Non-contact and painless*: The imaging process is performed in seconds and is safe for the patient.
Examples of applications in medical centers
- At *Bina Eye Hospital* and *Pustchi Center*, MS 39 is used for the following:
- Screening patients who are candidates for refractive surgeries.
- Monitoring patients with keratoconus.
- Accurate evaluation of complications after corneal surgeries.
