Topcon Medical Systems
PARAMUS, NJ, August 28, 2008 – Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. (TMS), of Paramus, NJ, the leading
supplier of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and image management solutions, is pleased to
announce that its EyeRoute® Image Management System now provides a direct interface to the
Oculus Pentacam Corneal Topography System.
Topcon has worked directly with Oculus to create an automatic interface for importing Pentacam
exams into EyeRoute®. The export process has been greatly simplified and requires only a single click
of an export button in the Pentacam software! The Pentacam exam data is then instantly and
effortlessly communicated to the EyeRoute® System.
By creating a direct link to the Pentacam System, Topcon’s EyeRoute® is now able to connect to one more vital
source of patient diagnostic information. EyeRoute® then effortlessly integrates images and reports from the
Pentacam and a multitude of other ophthalmic instruments into a single, secure, digital environment,
allowing the eye care professional instant access to their patients’ tests in a single document. This integrated
reporting not only enhances diagnostic capability but also dramatically improves workflow for the doctor.
“The direct interface between the Oculus Pentacam and EyeRoute® brings us one step closer to the
completely integrated practice. It connects the world’s most advanced ophthalmic image networking
system with the gold standard for corneal evaluation, allowing the practitioners to have all the
necessary diagnostic tests and data at their fingertips,” summarized Lon Dowell, CRA, Director of
Marketing for Imaging Products at Topcon Medical Systems, “This powerful new interface gives the
practitioner yet another valuable tool for improving diagnosis and enhancing patient care.”

About Oculus, Inc.
For more than 110 years, Oculus has been a partner for eyecare professionals around the world.
Oculus provides support for the challenging daily tasks this group of specialists encounters by
developing sophisticated technology-based instruments of the highest quality and by providing them
excellent in-serve training on their efficient operation. The demanding expectations of our customers
are in focus of every Oculus undertaking and the satisfaction of these demands is the goal for
individual instrument development projects. Our Pentacam Corneal Topography System follows this
motto and is the gold standard for evaluating the cornea. The Pentacam images the anterior segment of
the eye by a rotating Scheimpflug camera performing a series of slit photographs. This rotating process
generates sharp, crisp pictures in three dimensions. Because of the rotational imaging, even the center of
the cornea can be very precisely measured.
