Fast, accurate optical measurement for confident cataract surgery planning.

The NIDEK AL-SCAN M is a non-contact optical biometer designed for fast and accurate eye measurements. It helps eye doctors calculate the correct intraocular lens (IOL) power before cataract surgery. The “M” version adds enhanced measurement modes and user controls while keeping comfort and precision high.

The NIDEK AL-SCAN M is an advanced optical biometry system built using Partial Coherence Interferometry (PCI) technology. It measures key eye parameters with high precision, making it ideal for modern cataract surgery planning. The device automatically aligns and captures data quickly, reducing exam time for patients and improving workflow for clinics.

Important measurements taken by the AL-SCAN M include:

  • Axial length (eye length)
  • Corneal curvature (keratometry)
  • Anterior chamber depth
  • White-to-white distance
  • Pupil size

These values are essential for accurate IOL power calculation and premium lens planning, including toric lenses for astigmatism.

As a non-contact device, the AL-SCAN M enhances patient comfort and lowers infection risk compared to older contact ultrasound systems. Its easy-to-read screen and intuitive interface allow technicians and doctors to operate it with minimal training.
