Topcon KR-9000PW Wave-Front Analyzer

The KR-9000PW is an innovative product which incorporates a Hartmann-Shack Wavefront Sensor and a Placido Ring, to provide accurate measurements of both refractive aberration and corneal aberration. The KR-9000PW can measure slight refractive disorders extremely accurately and with full dimensionality, which conventional Auto Refractometers and Auto Kerato Refractometers cannot do.The KR-9000PW is ideal for refractive surgery (LASIK etc...), for planning or pre/post-operation comparison, or can be used to provide essential data for all ophthalmologic operations, such as a cataract, the retinal diseases, and diseases on vitreous body.

The KR-9000PW combines the most reliable wavefront measurement principles (Hartmann-Shack wave-front sensor and Zernike Polynomials) with our integrated Rotary Prism technology to deliver objective data that is unmatched in accuracy and reliability. The instrument provides sphere, cylinder and axis measurements as well as indicating spherical aberrations, coma and other high order aberrations of the eye. With a measuring range of -25 to +22 diopters of sphere, the new KR-9000PW is a practical wavefront tool for use in the everyday practice.

Features
 
Videokeratoscope
Standard Corneal Topographer with placido ring. Infrared placido ring illumination makes patient comfortable during examination.
 
Wavefront sensor
Topcon Wave-Front Analyzer uses a Hartmann-Shack sensor. It analyzes higher order aberrations in a central 4mm (Photopic) and 6mm (Scotopic) circle on the pupil. It will collect up to six readings per eye. The integrated database function saves examination time in a busy clinic.
 
PSF (Point Spread Function)
The PSF simulates the spot light projected on the retina when a spot shape ray of light is entered into the eye. The S.C.A. of the eye is already corrected by the Zernike Polynomials calculation. The ideal situation is to have exact spot on the retina as it enters, however even an ideal lens system can not achieve it due to its diffraction etc. Strehl ratio is a ratio between the central intensity of the ideal lens and that of the measured eye. Therefore, the reading closer to 1.00 means better optical quality. By analyzing this image as well as the Strehl ratio, it is possible to know if there is aberration that can not be corrected by spectacles etc such as irregular astigmatism.
 
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function)
The MTF indicates the relation between optical resolution and contrast. On the graph below, the vertical direction indicates the strength of contrast and the horizontal direction indicates the resolution power. As shown on the graph, when the resolution is higher (when there are more lines per millimeter), the contrast (ability to define black and white) becomes lower and vice versa.
 
Landolt Simulations
By using the PSF data from the above, the "Landolt Simulation" simulates how the Landolt rings will be projected on the patient's retina after S.C.A. is corrected by spectacles etc. Notes: Objects are projected as an inverted mirror image on the human retina, therefore the simulated image is also an inverted mirror image. When a human observes an object, the eye constantly moves around the object. Therefore, even the simulated Landolt Ring image can not be recognized. The patient might be able to recognize the Landolt Ring in real life after the correction.
 
Axial power maps
Axial power map from the Topcon wavefront sensor is compatible with conventional videokeratoscopes. An instantaneasis map is also available.
