MediWorks AL550 Optical Biometer for Myopia Management
Monitor axial length and manage pediatric myopia with the MediWorks AL550 optical biometer, featuring 1,060 nm OLCR and Placido topography.
The MediWorks AL550 is an advanced optical biometer developed for comprehensive myopia management in children and adolescents. It combines 1,060 nm Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry with 50-ring Placido corneal topography to obtain ocular biometry and anterior corneal measurements in a single examination.
Its long 1,060 nm wavelength supports reliable axial biometry, while the Placido system analyzes up to 125,600 points across the anterior corneal surface. The instrument can obtain up to 21 parameters during one measurement, including axial length, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness, lens thickness, white-to-white distance and pupil diameter.
The AL550 provides axial-length and AL/CR ratio trend curves that can be compared with age- and sex-specific percentile references for European and Asian populations. These functions help professionals document changes over time, evaluate the response to myopia-control strategies and communicate progression information to patients and their families.
For orthokeratology, the system supplies flat and steep keratometry, astigmatism, corneal eccentricity and sagittal-height information. It can simulate lens fitting and generate tangential-curvature difference maps to compare the cornea before and after lens wear.
The AL550 also provides anterior corneal wavefront-aberration data up to the eighth Zernike order, visual-quality simulations and corneal maps with indices that support keratoconus screening.
Automatic XYZ tracking, autofocus, rapid capture, automatic right/left eye recognition and voice prompts simplify operation and help reduce operator dependence.
