LENSTAR LS900®THE FIRST OPTICAL BIOMETER OF THE ENTIRE EYE

1 Scan – 9 Measurements – 30 seconds

ALIGN ONCE & CAPTURE ALL THE MEASUREMENTS ON THE VISUAL AXIS
In less than 30 seconds, a single scan with LENSTAR LS 900® captures nine measurements, including Lens Thickness – All on the Visual Axis.

  • Pachymetry
  • Lens Thickness
  • Pupillometry
  • Keratometry
  • Axial Length
  • Retinal Thickness
  • ACD
  • White to White
  • Eccentricity of the Visual Axis
  • Improves Refractive Outcome by eliminating the risk and liability of transcription errors.
  • Improves Patient Flow by eliminating, the need for separate ultrasound measurements for Lens Thickness and Pachymetry, Separate Keratometry and Pupillometry - currently measured separately.
  • Improves Data Flow using a separate, external PC, for direct communication with EMR and Networks.
  • Improves Measurement Precision with OLCR (Optical Low Coherence Reflectometry).
  • Improves Consistency in Measurements by detection of loss of fixation.

Practice Benefits

  • LENSTAR is the first optical biometer which uses the precision of OLCR (Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry) for all its measurements, including ACD and lens thickness. OLCR is an advanced technology, similar to Time Domain OCT.
  • As a biometer of the entire eye, one LENSTAR scan consists of 16 individual full eye scans and 4 individual keratometric scans, taken on 2 concentric rings, along the patient’s visual axis.
  • LENSTAR’s software runs on an external PC. This minimizes costly upgrades, software crashes and hardware repairs, and allows direct communication with EMR and networks as well as auto-population of data fields from third party IOL calculators such as Holladay II, eliminating the risk and liability potential of transcription error.
  • All of the standard IOL prediction formulas (Holladay I, SRK-T, Haigis and Hoffer Q) are built into the software – with potential for future formulas to be added. Since LENSTAR measures more parameters than current formulas allow, the system is ready to incorporate future generations of power calculations as they are developed.
  • LENSTAR uses a proprietary intelligent detection system. The patient fixates on the measurement beam. This ensures all measurements are on the patient’s visual axis. If the patient blinks or loses fixation, LENSTAR detects this and resumes again when the patient’s fixation returns. 1 SCAN - 9 MEASUREMENTS - 30 SECONDS

Experience Counts
"I have used the LENSTAR for IOL power calculation on hundreds of cases. Axial length measurements and K readings are extremely precise. The LENSTAR also measures the anterior chamber depth by optical biometry for high accuracy. It is the only optical biometer that also measures the lens thickness, a required measurement for using the more accurate fourth generation IOL power formulas."

Testimonials

Excellent Choice For Premium IOLs
"The LENSTAR is a remarkably easy to use all-in-one IOL power calculation tool that delivers highly accurate axial length, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness by optical coherence biometry. Its small zone autokeratometry feature is highly reproducible. The LENSTAR is an excellent choice for surgeons migrating towards presbyopia correcting and other premium channel IOLs where accurate outcomes are a must."
