Myopia Master®

The Myopia Master® is an efficient device which combines autorefractor, keratometry, and axial length measurement of the eye using a quick and non-invasive method. In addition to its unique metric capabilities, the Myopia Master® software supports clinical decision-making and ongoing practitioner-to-patient communication. Overall, the Myopia Master® is a unique and powerful tool for facilitating the growth of myopia management in practice.

Pentacam® AXL Wave

The Pentacam® AXL Wave is the first device to unite five essential diagnostic tools into a single system. It offers Scheimpflug-based tomography, the gold standard for analyzing the anterior eye segment; optical biometry for precise, contact-free axial length measurement; wavefront aberrometry of the entire eye to enable both internal and total corneal assessment; objective refraction based on wavefront aberrometry and retroillumination to check the crystalline lens and optical pathway. 

The Myopia Software supports data from both the Pentacam® AXL Wave and Myopia Master®, allowing for a flexible setup where you can expand or switch devices without losing existing data. This integration ensures seamless tracking of key progression data essential for effective myopia management, increasing both flexibility and efficiency in daily clinical workflows.

Master myopia with OCULUS

David Kern, Product Manager of the Myopia Master®: "We listened to Eye Care Professional's needs and designed and manufactured a device to efficiently manage myopia, the Myopia Master®. We aim to educate ECPs about the importance of axial length measurement but also learn vice versa. The partnership with Myopia Profile is best placed to accomplish that."

The OCULUS Myopia Master® is the world's first device to combine the important measurement methods of myopia management: axial length, refraction values and the central corneal radii. Axial length measurement today is regarded by experts as the gold standard for myopia management and a must for every myopia expert. This quick, contactless and extremely accurate measurement method is not influenced by the accommodation-status of the eye and delivers reproducible results also in children.

The cutting edge of orthokeratology through software analysis

In this video interview, Dr Kate Gifford of Myopia Profile chats to Professor Langis Michaud, Dr Remy Marcotte and Dr Patrick Simard from the University of Montreal, Canada. Leaders in the design and analysis of ortho-k to optimize myopia management outcomes; Langis, Remy and Patrick describe the new OCULUS Pentacam® AXL Wave software update including the new Plus Power Ring (PPR) pupil ratio, new Epithelial Reshaping Power Map, and their other favourite features. The role of both corneal topography and tomography in myopia management is also explored.
