Cataract surgery services, refractive practices, ophthalmology clinics and optometry practices use the Aladdin to examine the eye before lens surgery and to follow corneal and refractive findings. Ophthalmologists, optometrists and ophthalmic technicians operate it, and the results inform intraocular lens selection, toric planning and keratoconus screening.
The Aladdin suits rooms where space is shared. Biometry, topography, aberrometry and pupillometry come from one capture on an instrument of 470 × 320 × 490 mm, so a pre-operative workup is gathered at one table. Axial length from 15 to 38 mm, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and central corneal thickness feed the IOL suite directly.
The suite holds Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, SRK/T, SRK II, Barrett Universal II and Olsen formulas, post-refractive formulas and toric calculators, with surgeon-specific presets in a customisable IOL database. Patients who have had corneal refractive surgery are covered by the post-refractive formulas, and the RX/AL trends module follows refraction against axial length over 3, 6 or 12 months.
Corneal work draws on the 24-ring Placido topographer and apex keratometry. Apical curvature, apical gradient and the symmetry index support keratoconus screening, and Zernike analysis reports aberrations for pupils from 2.5 to 7.0 mm. Reports print to a USB or network printer or save as PDF, and DICOM connectivity passes data to archives. A 10.1-inch touch screen shows the results at once, and the on-board computer runs Windows 10, so the findings can be read in the room while the patient is still at the instrument. The supply is 100–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, and the unit weighs 18 kg.
