High-Resolution, Multifunctional Wavefront Aberrometer for the Comprehensive Eye Examination

The MAXWELL™ Optical Wavefront Aberrometer is an innovative diagnostic instrument with a wide range of functions that permit eye care practitioners and researchers to effectively assess all of the wavefront aberrations present in a subject’s eye. This remarkable device offers the widest diagnostic wavefront range and functions on more than 99% of subjects. Beyond its superior performance in wavefront analysis, this versatile instrument provides professionals with all the information needed for a complete eye examination.

Measurements are displayed in an easy to interpret format and via an intuitive and user-friendly software interface. MAXWELL offers scientific users a complete collection of physical and optical algorithms and displays that allow them to meet their individual needs by rapidly configuring the way in which data is presented.
