The Orbscan II

Prior to your LASIK surgery, your surgeon must evaluate the cornea, the front transparent window of your eye. This is done with a specialized machine, a topographer, which maps the corneal surface. Conventional topography machines can only map the front, or anterior surface of the cornea. The Orbscan II is a fully integrated multidimensional diagnostic system that goes well beyond standard topography. Unlike conventional topography systems which scan the eye at standard points, the Orbscan II acquires over 9,000 data points in 1.5 seconds to meticulously map the corneal surface both anteriorly and posteriorly and measure corneal elevations and thickness at all points of the cornea.
