  • Page 14: Performance Specifications

    Performance specifications Performance specifications Functional description plus ® The i.Profiler offers two basic measuring options: • Precision wavefront measurement with Hartmann-Shack technology • Placido disc corneal topography with central and peripheral keratometry Wavefront measurement 1 Eye 2 Beam splitter 3 Micro-lens array 4 Camera Fig.
  • Page 15: Fig. 3 Image Of Light Spots On The Camera Chip (A) And Image

    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).
  • Page 16: Topography Measurement

    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.
  • Page 17: Fig. 5 The Image Of The Rings Of The Placido Disc On The Camera For A Normal Cornea (A) And A Distorted Cornea (B)

    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.
