Performance specifications The wavefront aberration measurement is based on Hartmann-Shack sensor technology. The mode of functioning is shown in Fig. 2 in a simplified form. An infrared laser beam generates a light spot on the retina of the eye. The light pencil reflected from this light spot traverses the optical system from the point of the retina to exit the eye at the corneal plane, where it generates the wavefront (reversed ophthalmological principle).
Performance specifications The wavefront map is uniformly colored for an eye with normal vision (emmetropic). If the eye exhibits refractive errors, these will be shown color- coded in the wavefront map: Short-sightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia) manifest themselves in wavefront maps that have spherical caps curved to the inside or outside.
Performance specifications The Placido disc has ring-shaped, diffusely transparent apertures which guarantee even projection of the rings on the eye. The eye positioned in front of the Placido disc reflects the ring image of the Placido disc like a convex mirror. The reflections of the surface of the cornea of the eye are captured by a video (CCD) camera located behind the Placido disc.
Performance specifications Service life WARNING - GENERAL HAZARDS The development, production and maintenance of this device, together with associated risks, are based on an expected useful life of eight years. Only specialist personnel trained by the manufacturer may make modifications to the product. Unauthorized changes will void the warranty.
