The Pentacam uses rotating Scheimpflug camera technology to map the anterior segment of the eye in three dimensions. It creates detailed images of the cornea, iris, anterior chamber, and lens. This highly precise visual data allows your specialist to detect abnormalities, measure volume and depth, and plan treatments—such as cataract surgery or corneal reshaping—with exceptional confidence.
What to expect during the test
The process is quick, painless, and comfortable. You’ll be seated, gently leaning your chin on the device. Without any direct contact with your eye, scans will be taken in less than a minute. Images and measurements are then immediately available for your specialist to review and discuss.
