At the ESCRS 2018 in Vienna, OCULUS is introducing the new, advanced Barrett Toric calculator, including the posterior cornea and the Olsen ray-tracing formula, within the IOL Calculator of the Pentacam® AXL. Both formulas are available to all Pentacam® AXL users in a free software update.

The new Barrett Toric calculator takes now measurements of the posterior cornea surface into account, making it an advancement of the known and proven Barrett Toric calculator. The Olsen formula is based on a ray-tracing approach. It uses the anterior and posterior corneal data, corneal thickness, ACD and axial length to calculate a unique model of the patient’s eye.

Visit booth B404 at the ESCRS in Vienna, or contact your local dealer to learn more.

As of September 2018 the OCULUS Keratograph 5M comes equipped with a new joystick including a release function.

All new OCULUS Keratograph 5M units will be delivered with the new joystick as a standard feature. Customers who already have a Keratograph 5M can order the new joystick as a retrofit and install it themselves very easily.
