Nidek Optical Biometer AL-SCAN
Fast, precise optical measurement for confident cataract planning.
The NIDEK AL-SCAN is a non-contact optical biometer designed for accurate axial length measurement and reliable IOL power calculation. It is widely used for cataract surgery planning and offers fast, automated measurements in a compact design.
The NIDEK AL-SCAN is an advanced optical biometry system that uses Partial Coherence Interferometry (PCI) technology to measure axial length with high precision. Accurate axial length measurement is essential for selecting the correct intraocular lens (IOL) during cataract surgery.
In addition to axial length, the AL-SCAN measures:
- Keratometry (corneal curvature)
- Anterior chamber depth
- White-to-white distance
- Pupil size
The device provides fast automatic alignment and quick data acquisition, improving clinic efficiency. As a non-contact system, it ensures patient comfort and reduces the risk of infection compared to ultrasound-based devices.
The NIDEK AL-SCAN is suitable for small clinics as well as high-volume cataract centers. Its user-friendly interface allows easy operation by trained technicians and ophthalmologists.
