Bausch + Lomb (B+L) has recently launched the ORBSCAN®3 anterior segment analyzer — a third generation of the ORBSCAN topographer that features multiple enhancements and is designed to serve as a screening tool for the increasing number of ophthalmic surgeons performing new refractive procedures.
Through the ORBSCAN3, surgeons can examine both anterior and posterior astigmatism and optical pachymetry to gather data points on corneal biomechanics and stability to help inform surgical choices and identify appropriate candidates for all of these procedures. Analysis of a patient's anterior segment is done contact-free through the use of slit scanning technology with an advanced Placido disc system. The ORBSCAN3 can analyze elevation and curvature measurements on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea, full corneal pachymetry, white-to-white measurement, and anterior chamber depth and angle kappa.
