RODENSTOCK: new DNEye® Scanner 3
- By Editorial Team
The new DNEye® Scanner 3 by Rodenstock embodies state-of-the-art technology: thanks to fast, comprehensive, and fully automated measurements, opticians can offer their customers sharp vision, have more time for consultation and save valuable space in the shop by integrating numerous measurements in a unique, compact device.
In addition to measuring aberrometry, topography and pachymetry, which are used to determine the biometric data of the entire eye, the DNEye® Scanner 3 offers many new functions, such as a fundus image as the basis for an eye care check, a tear film analysis and an eye image.
The fundus image function included in the DNEye® Scanner 3 enables a holistic view of the eye by including the posterior segment of the eye in the measurement via an automatic, non-mydriatic retinal camera. In addition, the cup-to-disc ratio can be determined, and different views can be compared side by side.
The tear film analysis enables the optician to recognise dry eyes and their cause. The local break-up time of the tear film can be measured between two blinks and video playback provides visualisation of the break-up of the tear surface. In addition, the tear meniscus can be measured manually in an eye image to identify whether the dry eye is due to a lack of tears or to the quality of the lipid layer that prevents evaporation.
The new DNEye® Scanner 3 provides detailed colour images of the eye, which the optician can use to assess the health of the eyelids and conjunctiva with the help of the Efron scale. It is also possible to check for corneal, conjunctival and eyelid anomalies.
