Reichert G3 Ocular Response Analyser

The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) put central corneal thickness (CCT) on the map due to the surprise finding that CCT was independently and strongly related to glaucoma risk. This was the first time that a corneal parameter was shown to be related to development of glaucoma.
The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) is the only tonometer that measures Corneal Hysteresis (CH), a superior predictor of glaucoma progression. Corneal Hysteresis is an indication of the biomechanical properties of the cornea differing from thickness
or topography, which are geometrical attributes. “CH measurements were significantly associated with risk of glaucoma progression. Eyes with lower CH had faster rates of visual field loss than those with higher CH.”
In addition to Corneal Hysteresis, Ocular Response Analyser provides Corneal Compensated Intraocular Pressure (IOPcc), a better indication of the true pressure, proven less influenced by corneal properties than Goldmann or other methods.
