Pentacam® AXL Wave
The Pentacam® AXL Wave is the first device to combine five important diagnostic tools in one system.
It provides Scheimpflug based tomography, which is the gold standard for analyzing the front part of the eye and precise and contact-free measurement of eye length. It also helps determine the eye's prescription based on wavefront aberrometry of the entire eye and checks the eye's lens and optical pathway.
The Myopia Software accepts data from both the Pentacam® AXL Wave and the Myopia Master®, giving practices a flexible setup so they can add or change devices without losing existing information. This integration supports smooth tracking of key progression data needed for effective myopia management and helps improve efficiency in everyday clinical workflows.

Axial length measurement: what to know
Axial length is the length of the eye from the front to the back, and is a key measurement of the eye
Corneal topography: what to expect
Corneal topography is an imaging test that is used to map the shape and curvature of the cornea – the clear, front surface of the eye.
Autorefraction: what to expect
Autorefraction is a quick, automated eye test that estimates a person’s prescription. It is commonly used as a starting point for a full eye examination.
Keratometry: what to expect
Keratometry is an eye test used to diagnose astigmatism, by measuring the curvature of the cornea, the eye’s clear outermost surface.
Measuring myopia progression using axial eye length
The axial length of the eye is measured from front-to-back, and it grows too long and too quickly in myopia. Myopia control aims to slow axial eye growth.
