The combination of biomechanical data from the Corvis® ST and tomographical data from Pentacam® examinations enable you to safely provide care for more patients:
The combination of corneal biomechanics and tomography increases the precision of refractive screening thanks to the Tomographic Biomechanical Index (TBI). The TBI shows you the overall assessment of ectasia risk at a glance. This increases both safety and efficiency, as it enables you to much more easily detect and reduce the danger of ectasia, among other things.
Comprehensive biomechanics analysis
Dynamic Scheimpflug technology was the first to measure in detail the biomechanical response of the cornea to a pulse of air. Corneal biomechanics play a crucial role in intraocular pressure measurements, in the development of ectasia, and in refractive surgical interventions.
Uses
Detailed anterior segment tomography
The Pentacam® AXL delivers all-important information on everything from the epithelium to the posterior surface of the crystalline lens in 2 seconds. With its many easy-to-interpret diagnostic tools, it is invaluable for pre-operative diagnostics. A comparison with normative data allows for simple and rapid screening (Fast Screening Report).
Uses

Two novel stiffness parameters for the Corvis® ST
We place great emphasis on scientific testing of the measurement and assessment functions of OCULUS instruments. Numerous studies on the topic of corneal biomechanics have been carried out in recent years with the Corvis® ST. In these studies, independent experts have validated the high precision and accuracy of the Corvis ® ST over and over, as well as its usefulness for various clinical applications. Here is an overview of the most important studies:
