The brand-new BEST Display is now available for the Corvis® ST. Biomechanical assessment before refractive surgery has been essential since the introduction of the Tomographic Biomechanical Index. The new software includes novel features that open up the field for further clinical applications.

It enables you to analyze keratoconus progression, related to a baseline measurement. In addition, it can detect early sings of improvement after corneal crosslinking. Whereas topographic changes only occur after several months biomechanical changes can be measured with the Corvis® ST already four weeks after the procedure.

The BEST Display is the ideal solution for detecting and monitoring biomechanical changes over time. Please contact your local distributor if you want to get this new software.

At the end of December this year, the company Antonio Moutinho, Lda., will end its activity in the field of ophthalmology. For over 40 years, OCULUS has been represented in Portugal by the very company. We are extremely grateful to Mr. José Ribeiro and his team for this long-term partnership and we wish them all the best! Obrigado!

As of 1st October 2021, we will start a new partnership with the company Optometron, which will offer the main range of OCULUS diagnostic equipment on an exclusive basis in Portugal. From this date visit www.optometron.pt and contact the team for information on OCULUS instruments.
Welcome to the OCULUS family!

OCULUS has joined the International Myopia Institute (IMI) in tackling myopia awareness and will support the IMI activities to advance the research of myopia to prevent future vision impairment and blindness.

Christian Kirchhübel, CEO of OCULUS announces: “We are delighted about the cooperation. Our mission at OCULUS is to support eye care professionals around the world with cutting-edge, high-tech development. We are dedicated to saving and improving vision and visual performance with our precise, reliable long-lasting measurement solutions.”

The IMI is a global group of experts who have come together to discuss, debate and make available the latest evidence-based recommendations in classifications, patient management, and research, in the form of the IMI white papers, in up to twelve international languages.

Prof. Michael Belin summarizes the different features of the Pentacam® supporting the physician in the interpretation of the displays and their clinical use.

It ranges from the 4 Maps Refractive over the Belin/Ambrósio Enhanced Ectasia Display to the Belin ABCD Staging and Progression Display including the objective assessment after the CXL treatment.

More information can be found on the website of “The Journal of Cornea and External Disease”

The new Pentacam® software 1.25 is now released. It is suitable for all Pentacam® models and contains fantastic new features, such as
- Improved Cataract Pre-OP Display
- Belin ABCD Keratoconus Staging and Belin ABCD Progression Display – now with progression analysis after the CXL treatment
- Improved CSP Report for fitting scleral lenses
- Update of the contact lens database
- and much more!
Please contact your local distributor to get this free software update.

In this Online Seminar on Thursday, 17 June 2021, Prof Michael Belin will explain the Belin ABCD Keratoconus Staging and Progression displays, which objectively stage and determine the progression of the disease. It works retrospectively allowing an analysis of previous exams. The latest update includes the progression analysis after CXL, allowing an objective assessment of the treatment success.
The Belin ABCD Keratoconus Staging incorporates anterior and posterior curvature, thinnest pachymetry and distance visual acuity, better reflecting the anatomical changes in keratoconus than traditional Amsler Krumeich grading. This new staging forms the base of the Belin ABCD Progression Display, detecting and monitoring early keratoconus progression.
