Pentacam

The Pentacam® is an advanced analysis system utilizing a slit illumination system and a Scheimpflug camera which rotates around the eye. This produces a set of three-dimensional measurement data which gives a precise geometric description of the anterior eye segment. This data in turn can be used to generate data on elevation, curvature, pachymetry, depth of the anterior eye chamber…etc. in the well-known form of color maps.  Click here to learn more about Pentacam technology.

While Dr. Mandel does employ the latest technologies, he feels it is important to choose your New York LASIK surgeon based on skill, not just the technology employed at the practice. While the innovative tools used in LASIK can greatly improve results, it is still the surgeon's skill, customized nomograms, analysis, and experience that create the best results. Dr. Mandel trains laser eye surgery doctors in New York on how to use the latest in LASIK technology, including the VISX® laser system.
