The Depth of Diagnosis Completed with HTG-1 Integrating Topography and Dry Eye Diagnosis
The number of Dry Eye patients has been rapidly increasing, creating a growing need for devices that can precisely and systematically evaluate the Tear Film, Meibomian Glands, and corneal structure. In response to these clinical demands, Huvitz introduces the new HTG-1, an integrated diagnostic system that combines Corneal Topography with advanced Dry Eye assessment for accurate dry eye diagnosis, providing a depth of diagnosis that conventional devices have not been able to offer.
It has become essential to move beyond simple symptom checks and perform precision Dry Eye diagnosis that identifies the underlying causes and guides appropriate treatment, making reliable dry eye diagnosis even more critical. In this context, the HTG-1 holds even greater significance.
Identifying the Root Cause Is the Key to Dry Eye
Dry Eye is not simply a matter of ocular dryness. It is a condition influenced by multiple factors, including insufficient tear production, increased tear evaporation, Meibomian Gland dysfunction, reduced blinking, and overall Tear Film instability. For effective treatment, it is essential to precisely analyze the Tear Film structure, tear volume, Lipid Layer condition, and Blink Pattern, enabling clinicians to determine the true underlying cause and perform accurate dry eye diagnosis.
Accurate identification of these causes is what enables the selection of the most appropriate treatment pathway for each patient. Because treatment options differ depending on the underlying cause, accurate diagnosis supports more reliable dry eye diagnosis, reduces unnecessary interventions, and plays a major role in improving patient satisfaction.
HTG-1 Dry Eye Diagnostic Features
HTG-1 performs a precise evaluation of Dry Eye by analyzing eight key indicators. Rather than a simple “dry or not dry” assessment, the system provides objective, data-driven insights that help identify the underlying causes of Dry Eye and enable comprehensive dry eye diagnosis tailored to each patient’s condition.
<HTG-1’s 8 Dry Eye Diagnosis Features>
✔ Non-invasive Tear Film stability evaluation using NIKBUT (Non-invasive Keratograph Break-Up Time)
✔ Detailed analysis for assessing Meibomian Gland dysfunction
✔ Tear Meniscus Height analysis for evaluating tear secretion
✔ Lipid Layer imaging to observe Tear Film color and pattern
✔ Blink Pattern assessment for detecting evaporative Dry Eye
✔ Tear Film evaluation using Fluorescein Imaging
✔ Redness analysis for assessing ocular inflammation and overall eye health
✔Self-assessment using the global standard OSDI questionnaire
HTG-1, a Comprehensive Solution for Checking Corneal Health
HTG-1 provides the advantage of performing not only Dry Eye analysis but also Corneal Topography within a single device. Examinations that previously required two separate instruments can now be completed with HTG-1 alone, significantly improving the overall examination workflow.
HTG-1 offers a comprehensive diagnostic approach by evaluating structural corneal parameters such as corneal curvature, High Order Aberrations, Keratoconus Indices, and Pupillometry, along with ocular surface indicators including Tear Film, Meibomian Glands, and Bulbar Redness.
✔ Early detection of corneal diseases
✔ Identification of Dry Eye causes
✔ Pre- and post-operative management for refractive and cataract surgery
✔ Prevention of vision deterioration
These capabilities enable a more accurate and reliable diagnostic process.
Precise Diagnosis Completed Through HTG-1
HTG-1 precisely evaluates corneal health and integrates Tear Film analysis, helping prevent corneal diseases, manage Dry Eye, and reduce the risk of vision deterioration. By examining everything from detailed corneal information to the overall condition of the ocular surface in a single system, HTG-1 delivers a deeper and more differentiated diagnostic experience.
