Why Do You Need an A Scan?

With the A Scan attachment from Micro Medical Devices, axial length can now be measured from a device that sits in the palm of your hand! An A scan makes preparation for cataract surgery much easier than ever before by enabling precise measurement of the eye’s length for calculating refractive power and choosing the perfect IOL to implant during cataract surgery. Our A Scan probe can also be used to measure the Axial Length of the eye for Myopia control.

Why Our A Scan?

As a portable, multimodal tool, the MMD A Scan probe is flexible and easy to transport, making it ideal for doctors traveling between offices, on mission trips, or in nursing facilities and hospitals. Our device has been proven as clinically accurate as a laser interferometer and can penetrate a dense or opaque cataract. It works in both applanation and immersion modes, integrates into a range of different systems, and is compatible with our convenient, disposable EZ Tips!

For Cataract Surgery

The ability to accurate measure axial length is critical to the calculations needed to select an IOL that maximizes visual outcomes after cataract surgery. It helps assess refractive power in pre-surgical workups and helps you reduce unhappy post-operate patients.

For Myopia Management

Proper assessment of childhood myopia depends on the ability to produce reliable, repeatable axial length measurements. Because refractive error caused by myopia doesn’t always correlate directly with the rate of axial elongation, the A Scan can help guide treatment decisions for myopia.

Testimonials

It’s the best investment I've ever made. It's a simple unit, it's easy to use — I can’t imagine going back to one of those big bulky things.

Seema Nanda, ODFOCUS & NEO customer since 2020

Accessibility is self-evident. Anybody in a wheelchair or any kind of physical disability can easily perform this test. We don’t have to move them anywhere, and it just works perfectly for that.

Babak Kamkar, ODFOCUS & G2 customer since 2020

With the number of functionalities in this new device that could really help us a lot, we're taking visual field testing to a new level.

Inder Paul Singh, MDFOCUS & NEO customer since 2019

It just gave the information automatically and it was accurate, reliable data. It was very easy to put it into the chart and feel like we got the information to do what we needed for the patient.

Nancy Tanchel, MDA Scan, Pachy, & NEO customer since 2007

Multiple types of tests that can be done on this one instrument is great. I want to reduce the number of pieces of equipment that I have now — reduce our footprint while increasing the quality.

Mark Perry, ODNEO customer since 2021

There’s always turnover, but within a week our newest tech mastered the device. With this device, it is so much more automated and helpful — they can learn it so fast.

Rajesh Khanna, MDFOCUS & NEO customer since 2020
