Orbscan
Orbscan is a diagnostic imaging device used primarily in ophthalmology to assess the anterior segment of the eye, particularly the cornea. Developed by Bausch + Lomb, it combines slit-lamp biomicroscopy with Scheimpflug imaging technology to provide detailed cross-sectional views of corneal structures. The device is widely employed in clinical settings for diagnosing and monitoring corneal diseases, planning refractive surgeries such as LASIK, and evaluating corneal topography.
The Orbscan operates by projecting a slit beam of light onto the cornea while capturing high-resolution images
Beyond clinical diagnostics, Orbscan is utilized in preoperative evaluations for corneal transplants and intraocular lens implants.
While Orbscan provides valuable insights, it has some limitations. The imaging quality can be affected by factors
