Review

Makiko Ui, MD, Director, CS eye clinic, Japan

“Since purchasing the AL-Scan* in 2021, we have used it for measuring axial length in all our pediatric patients. Even in patients with hyperopia, the AL-Scan can show the changes in axial length. For children with a tendency towards myopia, we recommend treatment to slow the progression of myopia.
With this device, there is no air puff and no dazzling effects during measurement, enabling quick and easy data acquisition. To ensure accurate axial length measurements, we encourage children to fixate properly.
By incorporating the MV-1, the measurement results are displayed on a PC monitor, allowing parents to see the progress, which is extremely useful for patient and parent education.
I think measurement of axial length is essential for managing myopia in children because cycloplegic refraction cannot be performed at every visit during treatment.
Hence, axial length can provide important clinical information on patient progress during treatment.”

*The AL-Scan and AL-Scan M belong to the same series of devices and have the same operability for axial length measurement
