NIDEK CO., LTD., a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of ophthalmic, optometric, and lens edging equipment, is pleased to announce the launch of the AL-Scan M Optical Biometer and the MV-1 Myopia Viewer software.

 

 

The AL-Scan M measures axial length, which is considered an excellent parameter for predicting and monitoring the progression of myopia in the clinical and scientific literature. As most facilities already have an auto refractometer, clinicians can immediately begin myopia management with the AL-Scan M and the MV-1.

 

The AL-Scan M incorporates 3D auto tracking and auto shot functions for easy operation and quick measurement similar to an auto refractometer. This is especially important for measuring young children and ensures smooth patient flow. The accuracy of axial length measurements is the same as the current NIDEK AL-Scan that is used in cataract practices worldwide.

 

 

Measurements over time can be monitored and compared with the growth curve. Additionally, the MV-1 presents the history of treatment and patient behavior in a convenient summary. The history is important for clinical decision-making and the intuitive displays are helpful for patient and parental education.

“The increasing prevalence of myopia is becoming a significant global health concern, and measuring axial length allows for appropriate interventions.” says Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of NIDEK CO., LTD. “We believe the first step toward myopia management starts with the AL-Scan M and this device will lead to both clinician and patient success.”
