Latest Optical Biometry Devices Companies Update
March 2023: Alcon introduced its latest ocular biometer, Argos, with image guidance in Australia and latest Zealand after a more than year-long wait owing to demand from international markets. The Argos swept-source OCT biometer, according to the manufacturer, allows cataract surgeons to calculate the power for an intraocular lens (IOL) and measure the critical dimensions of the eye while obtaining greater measurement acquisition rates even in advanced cataract patients. Even though current optical biometry is recognized for being very precise, non-invasive, and entirely automated, older biometers can have poorer acquisition rates when measuring through +4 grade thick cataracts. A measurement acquisition failure may eventually force doctors to revert to manual and technique-dependent ultrasound A-scans. Alcon claims that their Argos SS-OCT significantly eliminates this issue, providing readings that are exact, reproducible, and repeatable.
January 2023: Valencell, a pioneer of optical heart rate technology, announced intentions to create its own branded product line in the digital health industry as it focuses efforts on bringing chronic illness management solutions to market. The company's first product candidate, which will be displayed at CES, is aimed at assisting individuals in monitoring and managing hypertension by combining an easy software with an innovative over-the-counter gadget that correctly measures blood pressure (BP) from the finger without the requirement of a cuff or calibration. Valencell's ideas, sensor technologies, and algorithms may be found in tens of millions of wearable and hearable devices from businesses such as Samsung, Suunto, Bose, Jabra, Huawei, and Sony, in over 90 products. While Valencell is well-known for its consumer sports and fitness wearables, its core technology might assist in seamless chronic illness management via digital health solutions.List of Optical Biometry Devices Key companies in the market
