Oculus Pentacam Classic establishes a new standard in anterior segment imaging by combining ultra-high-resolution spectral-domain OCT with the proven precision of Scheimpflug tomography. This unique hybrid technology enables detailed visualization of corneal microstructures and supports precise diagnostics, surgical planning, and postoperative monitoring.
The Pentacam Classic can be expanded to include further optional software modules at any time. The Pentacam Classic can be upgraded at any time. You will find all optional software modules in the overview on page 17. Moreover, the Pentacam Classic comes with two additional software licenses, which allow you to transfer examination data to various treatment rooms and evaluate it there.

Pentacam Classic – the versatile model
Being equipped with the basic software and two software packages, this gives you a versatile, indispensable device for diagnosis and surgical preparation. Software packages for refractive and cataract surgery supply you with all the important data needed for preparing refractive pre-examinations, early detection, and classification of cataract.
The Pentacam Classic is a versatile, indispensable diagnostic instrument for surgical preparation. The Classic includes the Basic software and software packages for preliminary refractive examinations, early cataract detection, and cataract classification.
The overall depiction gives you a quick, complete impression of the eye under examination. Informing the patient is facilitated considerably by the graphic representation.
A highly efficient practice and more time for your patients
To read and process data gathered by the Pentacam, you require a software license for this workplace. The Pentacam Basic software is included in every software license. It can be freely configured to suit your specific needs. The software license is not dependent on a single instrument; for example, you can also use it to read data from examinations conducted with other Pentacams.
The Pentacam Classic and HR include two software licenses as standard features, so nothing impedes your efficient workflow.
Clinical uses of Pentacam
- Screening for corneal Keratoconus, the most common corneal ectasia, is a progressive corneal condition characterized by central thinning and steepening of the cornea. Early keratoconus often looks normal on slit lamp examination, and manual keratometry, which assesses the central 3 mm, may give an insufficient assessment. Because of this, topography has become the gold standard for screening patients for keratoconus and other corneal ectasias (Figures 6-8).
- Corneal ectasia monitoring and treatment. Once an ectasia (e.g., keratoconus, Pellucid marginal corneal degeneration) is diagnosed, topography may be useful for monitoring disease progression. With regular topographic surveillance, it can be determined when patients are at risk of progression and complications, and this precise monitoring allows early intervention with treatments such as collagen cross-linking or keratoplasty. Topographic warning signs include high central corneal power, a large difference between the two corneas of a patient, and a large disparity between the refractive power at the apex and the periphery (Figures 6-8) (5).
- Refractive surgery screening and monitoring, Laser refractive surgeries such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) use an excimer laser to ablate tissue and reshape the cornea to correct an individual’s refractive error. Not every patient, however, can safely undergo these procedures. Screening must be performed to determine corneal shape and astigmatism patterns on topography before refractive surgery can be performed safely. Topography can also be used postoperatively to evaluate the etiology of unsatisfactory visual outcomes, such as decentered or incomplete ablations.
- Pre-operative intraocular lens selection. During cataract surgery, an intraocular lens is placed in the eye to achieve the desired refractive outcome. Standard intraocular lenses only contain spherical correction. If a patient has regular corneal astigmatism, however, an astigmatism-correcting toric lens may be used. Corneal topography is a useful pre-operative test to assess the magnitude and regularity of corneal cylinder when selecting an intraocular lens implant prior to cataract surgery.
- Post-keratoplasty astigmatism evaluation and management. After keratoplasty, corneal astigmatism can be evaluated with topography. This technology guides selective suture removal and other interventions to reduce levels of astigmatism.
- Ocular surface disorder evaluation, Ocular surface disorders, such as pterygia, corneal scars, and Salzmann nodules, can induce irregular corneal astigmatism. Corneal topography can be used to evaluate the refractive effects of these problems and to aid in disease monitoring and surgical planning.
