KERATRON SCOUT

Keratron™ Scout widens Optikon's line of corneal topographers with a compact, space saving, transportable instrument.

Advanced industrial design and high miniaturization technology has resulted in a practical and manageable unit which ensures the same features of precision and reliability that have made Keratron™ the reference topographer in the field.

Keratron™ Scout's operability can be adapted to the user's requirements through a variety of options.
On a slit lamp: By means of a slide adaptor plugged in the tonometer hole, the operator can use the joystick of the lamp to precisely align the instrument with the patient eye. The Scout can be set in a lateral position with the completely lengthened slide to use the slit lamp freely.

By inserting a battery power supply module into its base the Scout becomes portable. Measurements are easy to acquire and reliable thanks to the headrest device and the "repeatability check" feature.

The intra-operative weight-balanced arm ensures easy alignment of a reclining patient's eye even if the patient is not able to fixate. The degrees of movement, the display controls and software features like the "Move axis" make intra-operative use easy for any operator. The disposable covers guarantee sterility of the operating field and surgeon.

LocaL curvature and axiaL maps
. KERATOCONUS
The local curvature maps reveal the slightest details that are hidden
by axial maps, thus allowing a careful diagnosis even in presence of peripheral or small localized phenomena.

Height maps (Spherical offset)
. HEIGHTS, 3D
The height is represented with reference to a sphere that can be
positioned by the operator. Height difference maps (for example post- minus-preoperative) can be obtained after matching at three  reference points, so to cancel the relevant “tilt”.

CorneaL WaveFront
. VISUAL ACUITY
The simulations of visual acuity pictures (Visus), the PSF (Point Spread
Function) and the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) which relate to contrast sensitivity are invaluable tools for the assessment of the corneal refraction. The adoption of corneal aberration evaluation has broken new ground in the links with excimer lasers for custom ablation. The cornea is analyzed to measure the corneal wavefront. The Zernike polynomials, which allow analysis of individual aberrations and the analyzed pupil size and position, are user-selectable.

Pupillometry
 
The dual illumination of Placido rings by infrared and visible light allows measurement of the pupil size and center at different ambient light levels.

Far mires cone
for deep set eyes. 28 mires are 3 mm more recessed than standard cone
