Aberrometry

The KR-1W is the only wavefront and topography system that offers both refractive and diagnostic functionality. It can be used for wavefront aberration, corneal topography, pupillometry, keratometry, and automatic refraction. All measurements are performed with the push of a button on the joystick. The 5-in-1 unit offers you the ideal tool for diagnosing, monitoring, and developing treatment plans for a wide range of ocular conditions, improving clinical practice and increasing patient satisfaction. The KR-1W helps streamline workflow, improve patient communication, and monitor treatment outcomes. The KR-1W features an automatic alignment system for increased ease of use.

Aberrometry allows us to analyze the optical properties of the cornea based on its morphology. The study of corneal aberrations has multiple uses in ophthalmology: among others, the study of the optical quality of normal and pathological cornea, the selection of intraocular lenses based on corneal spherical aberration, and the application of personalized excimer laser treatments guided by corneal aberrometry. The aberrometric map can be used to design a customized ablation map for use on an excimer laser platform to correct the patient's higher-order aberrations and improve visual quality after corneal refractive surgery.
