3. Corneal Imaging (Pentacam):
Provides three-dimensional images of the cornea, with accurate measurements of its surface and thickness. Used for:
Examining patients with keratoconus.
Evaluating the cornea before vision correction surgery (LASIK).
4. IOL Master:
A high-precision technology for determining the necessary lens measurements before cataract surgery. This device ensures:
Improving the accuracy of implanted lens measurements.
Reducing the rate of surgical errors.
5. Specular Microscopy:
