NIDEK has announced the launch of the OPD-Scan III VS Refractive Power/Corneal Analyzer. “The OPD-Scan III VS is an aberrometer providing optimal and facilitated eyeglass prescription with detailed measurement data,” said a company spokesman. “This device mainly measures corneal shape (topographer) and refractive error (refractometer). It clarifies causes of vision difficulties through wavefront analysis of information measured over a wide area,” he added. The three kinds of easy-to-understand reports displayed on a tablet allow simple explanation of examination results. The Basic Information Report is useful for a general overview of patients’ eye conditions.The Simulation Report offers visual performance simulations and MTF graphs for a variety of conditions. The Eye Diagram Image Report helps to visually understand eye conditions ranging from eye fundus to cornea with the eye model. The NIDEK spokesman also pointed out that the tablet is not included or sold with the OPD-Scan III VS. www.nidek-intl.com
