■ This instrument calculates intraocular pressure based on the Goldman
applanation tonometer. However, it is recommended to take
measurements using the Goldman applanation tonometer if more
accurate measurements are needed.
■ This instrument adopts optical measurements for corneal thickness. It is
reported that measurements of corneal thickness may vary depending on
measurement methods including ultrasonic type measurement. Be sure
to carefully evaluate measurement values by adequately taking
correlation of measurement results into consideration when using this
instrument.
■
Do not use the measurement value of central cornea thickness taken by
this instrument. It is necessary to refer to the results of other
examinations for comprehensive review.
■ When using the intraocular pressure adjustment function, set
appropriate parameters for the adjustment formula. The adjusted
intraocular pressure to be calculated is a reference value.
■ The corneal irregular astigmatism display function is a simple
measurement using keratometer measurement. This function does not
detect all cases of corneal irregular astigmatism. Measurement itself or
correct measurement may not be performed for some corneal shapes,
such as if there is a partial problem on the corneal shape. Because the
corneal irregular astigmatism display function requires more information
than keratometer measurement, corneal irregular astigmatism may not
be measured even though keratometer measurement can be performed.
■
The reliability of the measurement data may be reduced under the
following conditions:
– Sight is unstable.
- The patient blinks too much.
- Eyelids and/or eyelashes cover the pupils.
