nonmyd WX3D
Retinal camera
A non-mydriatic camera combining both standard and stereo retinal imaging
An advanced retinal camera that provides both standard 2D and stereo 3D images whilst maintaining the Kowa traditions of high quality
and ease of use. The exclusive optical design combined with the high resolution Nikon® digital camera back delivers extremely detailed
images. In 2D mode the camera operates like a standard 45° non-mydriatic camera. The small pupil option enables photography with
a pupil size above ø3.5mm. Mosaic photography is a further option using the 9-point ixation mode. In 3D mode the camera captures a
20°x 27° ield of view as a stereo image in one shot. This may be viewed using prism glasses or by using a 3D monitor.

3D analysis system for nonmyd WX3D
A sophisticated software analysis tool for use with stereo images from the nonmyd WX3D camera. Examine the optic nerve quickly, easily
and in far more detail than is possible from a standard 2-dimensional image. This simple to use system provides a detailed quantitative
display of optic disc parameters, including the vertical cup to disc ratio, neuro-retinal rim area and rim to disc area along with many
others. The rim width in various locations can be compared using the polar coordinates display whilst a disc damage likelihood scale
gives a simple numerical estimate of the possibility of glaucomatous damage to the optic nerve.

Automated perimeter for both static and kinetic perimetry
Next generation perimeter with the gold standard threshold test
The AP-7000 is Kowa’s next generation automated perimeter that offers an extensive variety of test strategies and screening
programmes. It provides reliable and consistent assessment results due to its normalised database. Full threshold modes offer macular,
central and peripheral coverage up to 80° whilst screening modes provide swift evaluation of the visual ield for relative or absolute
scotomas. To shorten test times quick modes are available for both threshold and screening modes. Furthermore, by automatically
correlating the fundus image (from a fundus camera, OCT or SLO) with the static visual ield, early detection of glaucoma is possible.
With its ergonomic, compact design, the AP-7000 offers additional comfort to patients, easy operation for the clinician and its perfectly

KT-800
Non-contact tonometer with 3D auto alignment
Accurate eye tracking tonometer
The KT-800 is an accurate and easy to use non-contact tonometer. Auto alignment simply requires placing the positioning spot inside
a circle on the monitor after which alignment up and down, right and left and forwards and backwards is automatic. The air puff is very
gentle and feels “soft” to the patient. The pressure measurement range goes from 1 to 60mmHg without any range switching and the
results are swiftly printed on paper. The chin rest height is electrically controlled using buttons close at hand. The instrument detects
occasions when the eye is not open suficiently and prevents processing of the potentially inaccurate measurement.
