The world’s first device to combine the important measurement methods axial length, refraction values and the central corneal radii.
The new OCULUS Myopia Master® is the world’s first device to combine the important measurement methods axial length, refraction values and the central corneal radii.
The quick, contactless and extremely accurate measurement method for axial length is not influenced by the accommodation-status of the eye and is performed by utilizing interferometry.
Using the new Myopia Master® will be a tremendous help for eye care practitioners when assessing their patient’s visual condition.
A comparison illustrates the rapidity of this development: In the year 2000 22.9% of the global population were affected by myopia and 2.7% had high myopia beyond -5 diopters. According to Brien Holden's forecast, by 2050, 50% of the world's population could be myopic and at least 10% could be suffering from high myopia. The development is also dramatic within Europe. According to data recently presented by the European Eye Epidemiology Consortium, more than 47% Europeans between 25 and 29 years of age are myopic.
