Advanced Corneal Diagnostics
in Alexandria, Egypt

A Pentacam scan provides detailed information about the shape, curvature and thickness of the cornea, together with advanced analysis of corneal maps.

It helps with:

• Assessing corneal shape and curvature
• Measuring corneal thickness and its distribution
• Evaluating the front and back surfaces of the cornea
• Helping detect abnormal or suspicious patterns
• Assessing the cornea before certain vision correction procedures
• Helping evaluate and monitor keratoconus

The decision to have LASIK or any other vision correction procedure does not depend on your prescription alone, but on a comprehensive assessment of the cornea, the eye and your general health.

Imaging and analysis of the distribution and thickness of the epithelial layer on the corneal surface. It can provide additional information in certain cases that need a more detailed assessment.

An optical coherence tomography technique that produces detailed images of the cornea and the front of the eye, providing additional information in cases that need a more precise anatomical assessment.
