Company Introduces Tool for Measuring and Monitoring Axial Length Metrics

OAKLAND, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Topcon Healthcare, a leading provider of medical devices and software solutions for the global eye care community, announced today that it has launched its new Aladdin-M instrument to the US market. Aladdin-M combines corneal topography, pupillometry, and optical biometry to enable objective measurement of corneal curvature, pupil dynamics, and axial length metrics.

The versatile, all-in-one Aladdin-M provides the critical tools needed to support myopia management while also incorporating features for keratoconus screening and contact lens fitting. Aladdin-M’s exclusive software enables documentation of axial length measurements to identify risk factors and track changes in Rx and axial length measurements over time to show progression and response to treatment.
