CSO MS-39® (Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici) is a new generation of non-contact corneal imaging devices that combines Placido disc corneal topography with OCT-based anterior segment tomography.

It can detect different layers of the cornea separately with very high resolution.

The MS-39 is currently the most advanced device for analyzing the anterior segment of the eye. In addition to clinical diagnosis of the anterior segment of the eye, the MS-39 can be used in corneal surgery to plan refractive surgery. There is also an IOL (IOL, or intraocular lens, a module that helps calculate the optimal power of an implantable lens) calculation module based on ray-tracing techniques (Ray-Tracing Techniques). Additional tools allow the MS-39 to perform accurate pupil diameter measurements and advanced tear film analysis.

CSO MS-39® capabilities

MEMBRANE AND STROMAL MAP

MS-39 includes advanced measurements of the epithelial layer and stroma. Knowledge of epithelial morphology is very useful in evaluating abnormalities on the corneal surface.

HORN SECTION

The device provides information on pachymetry, elevation, curvature and dioptric power of both corneal surfaces. The MS-39® offers a more comprehensive evaluation of the cornea, providing a wide range of anterior segment measurements, from epithelial thickness maps to large-diameter crystalline lens. The clarity of the 16-mm diameter cross-sectional images, along with the many details of corneal structure and layers possible with the MS-39, helps solve many diagnostic problems associated with corneal diseases.

 

CORNEAL ABERROMETRY

Aberrometric analysis provides a complete overview of corneal aberrations. It is possible to evaluate the condition of the anterior, posterior or total cornea for different pupil diameters. OPD/WFE maps and visual simulations (PSF, MTF, image splicing) can help accurately diagnose a patient’s visual problems.

 

KERATOCONIC SCREEN

Corneal screening provides important information about the cornea that can be helpful in preventing complications associated with ectasia (a reduction in the thickness and convexity of the cornea at the site of photoablation, which leads to deterioration of visual acuity) before corneal surgery is undertaken.

CRYSTAL BIOMETRICS

In order to more accurately determine the ELED and thus refine the calculation of the intraocular lens, the MS-39 provides an acquisition mode to measure the thickness of the crystalline lens, its distance from the cornea and its equator.

IOL CALCULATION MODULE

A module based on ray tracing techniques (Ray-Tracing Techniques). Regardless of the condition of the cornea – either previously treated with refractive surgery or never operated on – it provides calculations of the spherical and toric power of the implantable lens.

 

ADVANCED TEAR FILM ANALYSIS

Placido’s disc technology allows for advanced non-invasive Break-Up Time (NI-BUT) tear film analysis.

GLAUCOMA SCREENING

The MS-39 allows measurement of AOD, TISA and corneal pachymetry, which is an important aid in the diagnosis of glaucoma.
