Optimized for Total Corneal Health Management
Huvitz’s newly introduced HTG-1 is an integrated solution that combines corneal topography and dry eye diagnosis into a single device, enabling a comprehensive assessment of overall ocular health. Changes in corneal condition can contribute not only to reduced visual acuity but also to the onset and progression of various ocular diseases. Likewise, dry eye symptoms can significantly impact visual clarity and everyday comfort. For this reason, evaluating both the cornea and the tear film together is essential for accurate diagnosis and early intervention.
Designed to meet this clinical need, the HTG-1 performs precise and efficient analyses of corneal structure and tear film stability. Its technology supports proactive vision care and effective management of ocular surface disorders. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at the key features and clinical advantages offered by the HTG-1.
01. Comprehensive Corneal Health Management Solution
HTG-1 enables these two examinations to be performed within a single device, providing an environment where the overall condition of the cornea can be viewed and evaluated comprehensively through corneal topography.
Because it allows simultaneous analysis of various data such as refractive power changes, structural abnormalities, and tear film stability, it becomes possible to identify the exact cause of visual deterioration. Additionally, the results obtained during the examination can be visually confirmed, which helps explain the patient’s condition and guide them on the necessity of treatment.
Based on this, HTG-1 supports early prevention and customized treatment planning for corneal disease and dry eye, and it also enables continuous tracking of changes before and after surgery, offering significant support for long-term vision care and overall ocular health.
02. Acquisition of Diverse and Detailed Corneal Information
HTG-1 applies Placido Disc–based analysis technology to precisely measure detailed corneal information, including curvature and shape, pupil size and response, refractive power variations, and corneal diameter.
The highly reliable data obtained through this process can be widely used in various clinical settings, such as early keratoconus detection, analysis of visual distortion factors, preoperative evaluation for refractive surgery, and lens prescription and fitting. Beyond simply confirming numerical values, the device enables integrated interpretation of multiple elements that affect vision, allowing for more accurate results and treatment planning supported by corneal topography.
The major corneal analysis features provided by HTG-1 are as follows.
√ Precision Corneal Analysis Based on Placido Disc Technology
√ Early Keratoconus Detection Based on Corneal Indicators
√ Acquisition of Pupillometry-Based Pupil Data
√ Precise Diagnosis of Visual Distortion Factors Using Zernike Analysis
√ White-to-White Measurement for Corneal Diameter
√ Simple Contact Lens Fitting Without Fluorescein Instillation
03. Comprehensive Dry Eye Diagnosis Completed Through Multi-Angle Analysis
Dry eye syndrome presents a wide variety of causes and symptoms, making it difficult to achieve an accurate diagnosis with a single examination. HTG-1 analyzes the tear film and ocular surface from multiple angles to quickly identify the underlying factors behind each patient’s symptoms.
By comprehensively evaluating indicators such as tear film stability, secretion volume, meibomian gland function, blink patterns, and the degree of redness, the device enables clear identification of dry eye subtypes and severity levels. The examination is performed using a non-contact method, reducing patient discomfort, and the visualized reports generated from precise measurement data make it much easier to establish personalized treatment plans.
The dry eye analysis features provided by HTG-1 are as follows
√ Non-Contact Tear Film Stability Assessment Using NIKBUT (Non-invasive Keratograph Breakup Time)
√ Precision Analysis for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Diagnosis
√ Tear Meniscus Height Analysis for Tear Secretion Evaluation
√ Lipid Layer Function for Capturing Tear Film Color and Pattern
√ Diagnosis of Evaporative Dry Eye Through Blink Interval Measurement
√ Tear Film Diagnosis Using Fluorescein Imaging
√ Evaluation of Ocular Inflammation and Eye Health Through Redness Analysis
√ Self-Diagnosis Evaluation Using the Global Standard OSDI Questionnaire
04.Easy and Convenient from Operation to Analysis, Delivering a User-Centered Experience
HTG-1 provides a simple and convenient examination environment developed with the comfort of both the operator and the patient in mind. The 90-degree rotating LCD, foot switch, and wide headrest allow flexible adaptation to various examination situations, making the overall process smoother and more efficient.
The measured data are provided as corneal information reports (Topography, SimK, Meridian, Keratoconus, White to White) and dry eye reports (Meibo, Meniscus, Blink, Redness, NIKBUT, Lipid Layer, OSDI), making it easy to analyze and explain results according to diagnostic needs. Through these reporting formats, users can clearly review findings related to corneal topography and dry eye status.
In addition, the Auto Tracking function enhances measurement accuracy, and Connectivity allows the examination data to be accessed from a PC, enabling users to perform diagnostics more easily, quickly, and reliably.
HTG-1 precisely diagnoses the condition of the cornea to help prevent corneal diseases and dry eye, while protecting against vision deterioration and enhancing the reliability and accuracy of clinical care. From comprehensive corneal information to the overall health of the ocular surface, HTG-1 allows you to experience a new level of diagnostic depth made possible through corneal topography.
