Performance specification Measurement of wavefront aberrations is based on the technology of a Shack-Hartmann sensor. Its function is illustrated in a simplified manner in Fig. 2. An infrared laser beam creates a point of light on the retina of the eye.
Performance specification The wavefront map is colored uniformly for an emmetropic eye without aberrations. If an eye has refractive errors, these are shown as color coded in the wavefront map. Short sightedness (myopia) and far sightedness (hyperopia) are expressed in wavefront maps showing spherical caps curved inward or outward.
Performance specification The Placido disc has ring-shaped, diffuse transparent openings that ensure the rings are projected evenly on the eye. The eye, positioned in front of the Placido disc, reflects the ring pattern of the Placido disc like a convex mirror. The reflections on the corneal surface of the eye are recorded by a video camera (CCD camera) behind the Placido disc.
Performance specification Service life WARNING - GENERAL HAZARD The development, manufacturing and maintenance of the device and associated hazards are based on an expected service life of eight years. Modifications may only be made by professional technician trained by the manufacturer. The device may only be serviced and repaired by the manufacturer.
