OPERATION PRINCIPLE This instrument takes a picture of the corneal endothelium by the slit light projected diagonally onto the patient's eye. It measures the corneal thickness by the slit light reflected from the cornea surface and the corneal endothelium. The instrument detects the image reflected from the cornea by the alignment system, performs posi- tioning automatically and starts measurement automatically.
