Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology

The new Corvis ST Toonometer is a Non-Contact-Tonometer with visualization and measurement of the corneal deformation response to an air pulse with an Ultra-High-Speed Scheimpflug camera (4330 frames/sec).

Current Measurement Features of the Corvis®  ST

• Deformation amplitude
• Applanation length
• Corneal velocity
• IOP-measurement
• Corneal thickness
• Scheimpflug images of applanation moments 1, 2 and of the highest concavity of the cornea
• Slow-motion video of the corneal deformation after air pulse

The Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segments are implantable precision devices for the correction of surface irregularities and reduction of refractive errors associated with keratoconus and other corneal ectasias. Mediphacos recently launched the new generation of Keraring, the SI-5 and SI-6 models, now with variable optical zone. With this development, Keraring offers 40 different choices of thicknesses, lengths, and diameters of arc, allowing for greater customization of the remodeling cornea and refractive correction.

Watch Francisco Sanchez, MD, and Maria Clara Arbelaez, MD, discuss why they choose to treat keratoconous with the Keraring.

Si bien aún no se encuentran disponibles en el mercado de los EE.UU., los estudios clínicos y los resultados a largo plazo en Europa indican que estas incrustaciones tienen un potencial en el tratamiento de la presbicia. Las opciones para la corrección de la presbicia son LASIK (para crear monovisión), Presby LASIK, segmentos de la esclera, o LIO premium. En los EE.UU., otra opción -incrustaciones corneales- están siendo investigadas actualmente. Las incrustaciones se insertan normalmente en virtud de un colgajo de LASIK o en un bolsillo corneal, tratando de mejorar la visión de cerca mediante la creación de un área central de miopía o el aumento de la profundidad de foco. Tres dispositivos se encuentran bajo investigación en Estados Unidos, la microlente Flexivue (Presbia, Los Angeles), el Kamra (AcuFocus, Irvine, California), y el Vue + (Revisión Óptica, Lake Forest, California). Los tres se encuentran más ampliamente disponibles fuera de los EE.UU., cada uno tiene un mecanismo diferente de acción y se implanta en el ojo no dominante.
