Description
PIROP – state-of-the-art ophthalmic ultrasonic device for Biometry , Visualization and Pachymetry of eyeballs (A-Scan + B-Scan + CCT- Pachymeter) – modified version.
A-SCAN – Ocular Lens biometrics
Digital ‘A-scan’ tool for ophthalmology, biometry and lens power calculation of intra-ocular implants.
B-SCAN – Eye examination
Modern ‘B-scan’ tool for ophthalmology, interior eyeball imaging, retina, optical nerve …
CCT- PACHYMETER (P-SCAN) – Ocular cornea biometrics
Up-to-date ultrasonic pachymeter used to measure the thickness of the eye’s cornea (glaucoma screening and refractive surgery), with a very high sampling frequency –400MHz (a significant increase in measurement accuracy – ≤ 2 μm). Corneal pachymetry is an important test in the early detection of glaucoma (central corneal thickness CCT), and it help also surgeons by providing graphical surgical plans to eliminate corneal astigmatism.
PIROP user’s interface based on touch screen technology makes operation easy and user-friendly. The touch
screen can be also operated not only with fingers, but also using the enclosed stylus to keep it clean.
