LONG GROVE, Ill., Feb. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forsight Vision, Ltd., is pleased to announce they are now offering a new, state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment tool for the condition of dry eye. The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M Topographer digital tool allows for quicker, more accurate diagnoses of dry eye disorders. The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M is the most advanced technology available today for optometrists and ophthalmologists to accurately diagnose the condition of Dry Eye Syndrome. It can help with documenting findings and comparing before and after treatment results to ensure the best course of action is being taken.

While dry eye can have environmental causes, it is often simply part of the aging process. The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M assists optometrists with accurate assessment and classification of both limbal and bulbar redness in the eye using the R-Scan. This scanning feature detects blood vessels within the conjunctiva to evaluate the degree of redness within the eye related to the dry eye condition. This provides greater reliability during evaluation and eliminates the need for time-consuming comparisons.

The high-resolution color camera allows for accurate, comprehensive viewing and assessment of even the finest structures in the eye. A TF-Scan is used to assess the tear film with infrared or white illumination. This technology can help to measure for meniscus tear, and non-invasive tear film break-up time.

OCULUS Keratograph® 5M and Meibo-Scan allow for multi-functionality and versatility and can handle even difficult examinations like meibography. Meibomian gland’s dysfunction and associated changes in the glands are the most common causes of dry eye. The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M Topographer also allows for the easy saving of records to help compare the eyes before and after treatment. This allows optometrists to determine if the treatments being used have been effective.                                        

Todd Cohan, O.D., founder of Forsight Vision, Ltd., says, “We are pleased to offer this highly advanced technology to our Long Grove optometry clients. The condition of dry eye is one of the most common conditions we see, and this powerful tool can assist us in zeroing in on the best course of treatment for each individual.”

Emily Pott, O.D. adds, “Dry Eye Syndrome can greatly reduce quality of life and cause damage to the eye over time. The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M Topographer allows us to make faster, more accurate diagnoses and get clients on the road to healing.”
