The new Belin ABCD Progression Display is now available for all OCULUS Pentacam® models. This tomographic keratoconus progression Display is based on the ABCD keratoconus classification by Prof. Belin, MD, USA, which independently grades the anterior corneal surface, posterior corneal surface, corneal thickness, and visual acuity.

Its main benefit is the evaluation of the posterior cornea and the corneal thickness at its thinnest spot. This information is not accessible with Placido topographers and emphasizes the benefit of anterior segment tomographers. Since every single parameter is graded and presented in a diagram, possible progression can be easily and quickly detected.

The new Belin ABCD Progression Display is a free update for all Pentacam®/Pentacam® HR/Pentacam® AXL users and works retrospectively for all previously taken Pentacam® examinations. This helpful progression display is included in the software of every new Pentacam®/Pentacam® HR/Pentacam® AXL device.

We are very proud to inform you that the article "Detection of Keratoconus With a New Biomechanical Index" about the OCULUS Corvis® ST and the CBI (Corvis Biomechanical Index), is one of the most read articles in the Journal of Refractive Surgery.
