OPDScan Aberrometer (NIDEK)
 

OPDCATz Treatment uses a proprietary and revolutionary ablation algorithm based on topography and wavefront data generated by the NIDEK OPD-Scan. With a combination of slit scan and multi-point ablation, OPDCAT is intended to correct refractive errors as well as optical aberrations of the entire eye. Aberrations based on corneal and entire eye irregularities can result in visual blur and other undesired visual phenomena are reduced with this ablation algorithm. This results in a shorter visual recovery period and better post-operative visual acuity.

The use of OPDCAT software algorithm with NIDEK's excimer laser technology potentially increases the visual acuity and quality of vision while addressing two major issues in refractive surgery: treatment of aberrations of the entire optical system and reducing higher order aberrations that can occur post-ablation. NIDEK's excimer platform offers a full suite of treatment algorithms that use wavefront and topography data from the NIDEK OPD-Scan to treat a patient's refraction needs. As a result, an unsurpassed level of patient and physician satisfaction is expected with the treatment.
