3 WARNINGS
General warnings
•
The Keratron
™
Piccolo has been developed and optimised to measure human
eyes. The use and the evaluation of the Keratron
™
Piccolo in conditions that
not comply with this manual, or made by using surfaces having a reflectivity or a
shape which is far from those typical of human eyes (for example: contact
lenses, surfaces having discontinuity in the tangent or concavity in any of its
section profiles, or surfaces such to create multiple reflections or
disappearance of some mire) cannot insure to have the same degree of
accuracy and thus it is strongly discouraged.
•
Situations that create mires jamming can happen on human eyes in
limited areas
. This must be prevented by insuring a good tearing and good
image acquisitions (see in particular the chapters dedicated to the eye
acquisition and the last page of this manual), and eventually corrected by
properly using “Photo Process” Editing functions.
Therefore, you can either
adjust mires detection parameters or eventually discard artefacts
In any
case, the user must individually check that the mires reconstruction has
been adequate before accepting the topographic resulting data as valid
.
Environmental issues

™
Piccolo as unsorted municipal waste. Collect it
