This product commemorates the start of the Medical Equipment Business of Topcon. With this product it became possible non-contact speedy tonometry measurement featuring also easy alignment. The World’ s first retinal camera with an infrared fluorescence photography function. Choroidal vessels could be observed much clearer than ever before. This retinal camera became a pioneer product, marking the beginning for the upcoming glory of Topcon as Retinal Camera Brand. Topcon succeeded to combine corneal endothelial cell and corneal thickness examinations that were traditionally performed separately, in one machine. This innovative ophthalmic compound instrument drew a lot of attention at the time. Microscope with a completely new Bi-manual observation system that allows for vitreous surgery without illuminating the eye. Mydriatic and non-mydriatic retinal cameras in one machine. FA, Color, ICG, Red-free photography are all acquirable. The new specular microscope meets the needs of the customers in a quicker, more user-friendly and accurate device. OCT, Color, Red-Free (digital), FA, FAF photography are acquirable with one machine. The new OCT with the world’ s fastest scanning speed of 100,000 scans/sec. provides deeper penetration to the retinal tissues and enables outstanding wide range imaging that has never been observed before. The sales of the OCT based on the spectral domain technology to the medical institution are launched. It was awarded with the Nikkei Excellent Product Prize regarding its overwhelming measurement speed, high resolution and 3-dimentional imaging capability. Along with the conventional refractometer and keratometer functions this device is also equipped with Hartmann-Shack sensor providing aberration information and topography function for corneal aberration measuring. It became possible to deliver numerous laser spots in extremely short time due to the groundbreaking PASCAL Method technology that is a perfect pattern generation technique. The laser burns are confined and uniform, which contributes to the reduction of patient’ s pain and fatigue. Newly designed stylish Topcon’ s tonometer with the flexible control panel also enables the operator to be positioned at any side when measuring. Fully automated right-left eye measurement is also available. It represents a multi-functional refractive analysis device that made it possible both to measure and analyze the optical aberration of the entire eye. The product was awarded with the "16th Advanced Creative Technology Prize of Sankei Newspaper” that is dedicated to researchers and engineers who contributed to the excellent R & D achievements. Ophthalmological Image Filing System providing a large-scale network was developed. IMAGEnet 2000 has been elaborated into the smart sophisticated system and its name has almost become a synonym for image filing systems in ophthalmology. The World’ s first refractometer with near-infrared projection. With this product having a TV monitor it became possible to do measurements by operating directly on the screen, which made it a big hit on the market. By adopting the new measurement system with a built-in rotary prism, it became possible to measure the eye even with 2.o mm pupil diameter. The World’ s first optometry tool with a capability of simultaneous binocular objective refraction measurement incorporating also a subjective refraction functuon and patient-driven vision tester. Optometric examination has never been more interactive before! Simply place the eyeglasses on to the support, push the button and the measurement is completed. Quick simultaneous check of both right and left lenses is available. Fully automated measurement with only one touch on the touchscreen panel. The absence of the control lever and the adjustable control panel enables the operator to be positioned anywhere around a patient.
