The Most Advanced Optical Biometer Is Now at San Marino Eye
Dr. Richardson has invested in the most advanced optical biometer available: The ARGOS SS-OCT. With this advanced technology both Dr. Richardson and his patients with cataracts can feel secure that they are getting the best eye measurements possible prior to choosing an intraocular lens.
The clarity of vision after cataract surgery greatly depends on the quality of measurements made by the surgeon prior to surgery.
About
The ARGOS SS-OCT
The ARGOS SS-OCT is the World’s First Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Biometer that accurately reads biometric information even for the densest cataracts. Its delivers highly accurate, fast measurement of 9-essential parameters for IOL selection: Axial Length, Corneal Thickness, Anterior Chamber Depth, Lens Thickness, Pupil Size, Corneal Diameter, K-values (K1, K2), and Toric Angle.
ARGOS SS-OCT Optical Biometer
100x Higher Optical Sensitivity
Argos SS-OCT biometer has 100 times the sensitivity of conventional biometers (PCI and OLCR based technologies) and is able to provide biometry even in the cases of very dense and white cataracts.
Faster Data Acquisition
Argos is the fastest optical biometer at 3,000 A-scans per second. It takes just 0.6 seconds to acquire 6 sets of data, each set provides biometry and keratometry, including biometry needed for advanced calculations such as lens thickness and white to white.
Whole Eye Imaging
Argos is the only SS-OCT biometer with real time True Whole Eye imaging from cornea to retina and limbus to limbus, for complete visualization and confirmation of each specific case, as well as fixation and alignment confirmation.
Voted Best Technology in Data For Cataract Surgery by members of CRST’s editorial board.
It is easier to use and quicker than our Lenstar [Haag-Streit] and IOLMaster 500 [Carl Zeiss Meditec] and can capture data with dense cataracts where the other two may fail…
