ESP Eye Surface Profiler

Berlin Optical is the first optometric center in East Asia to introduce this cutting-edge technology, the Eye Surface Profiler (ESP). This device is currently the most precise scleral topography instrument globally, featuring an unprecedented 20mm diameter scanning area and 500,000 measurement points. Its revolutionary analytical technology not only provides corneal profile analysis but also includes profiling of the entire corneal edge and sclera. Additionally, it can accurately map the 3D topography of the cornea and sclera, generating a 3D “height map” of the eye surface to precisely customize the most suitable scleral lenses for each client.

💡 Scleral lenses are FDA-cleared specialty contact lenses used during the day to treat ocular surface diseases such as dry eye syndrome and Sjögren’s syndrome. They can also correct vision for patients with high astigmatism, keratoconus, and post-refractive surgery regression. The unique “tear lens” feature allows wearers to achieve clearer vision than with traditional glasses or contact lenses.

Traditionally, fitting scleral lenses required prolonged trial fittings and continuous modifications to perfect lens fitting. Now, with the ESP, we can scan the scleral topography and 3D map. We then combine this data with the results from trial fittings to send to our US manufacturer for personalized scleral lens customization. This ensures that the lens curvature perfectly matches each client’s unique scleral shape, significantly enhancing comfort and accuracy. The complex fitting process has been simplified into just four easy steps for clients:

Main Functions:

• Examines the topography of the cornea and sclera (the white part of the eye) to create a three-dimensional map. Data is directly transmitted to overseas manufacturers for custom-made specialty contact lenses, including scleral lenses and orthokeratology (OK) lenses.
• Overcomes the drawbacks of traditional scleral lens fitting methods, which require prolonged trial fittings and multiple adjustments, enhancing the precision and efficiency of fitting scleral lenses and other specialty contact lenses

Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that provides a detailed analysis of the cornea's shape and curvature. This analysis is crucial for diagnosing various corneal conditions. It is performed simply by looking into the device as instructed by an optometrist.

Main Functions:

• Examines the corneal topography and tracks changes over time, assisting in the diagnosis of conditions like keratoconus, assessing astigmatism, and post-surgical recovery.
• Collects corneal curvature, diameter, and other data, useful for fitting orthokeratology lenses, scleral lenses, and other specialized contact lenses, as well as tracking lens effectiveness.
• Evaluates tear film quality, aiding in the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome.

A slit lamp is a specialized microscope used in eye examinations that provides a high-intensity focused light source for detailed observation of all eye structures, from the cornea and iris to the lens and retina. A slit lamp exam is a non-invasive diagnostic process that aids eye doctors and optometrists in detecting and diagnosing various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal damage or diseases.

Main Functions:

• Comprehensive examination of the external and internal conditions and health of the eye, used to diagnose diseases from the eyelids, eyelashes, cornea, conjunctiva, lens, and retina, such as dry eye syndrome, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular diseases.
• Equipped with digital photography capabilities to record the current state of the eye, facilitating monitoring of changes.

Digital retinal photography is a key ophthalmic imaging technique that examines and records the current state of the retina. It is highly useful for diagnosing various retinal diseases, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

An automatic computerized refractometer can initially estimate a patient's prescription and measure the corneal curvature. Newer models are further equipped with non-contact tonometry and corneal thickness measurements, playing an important role in glaucoma screening.
