ANTERION — Advanced Anterior-Segment Imaging at Gulati Eye Care
High-resolution Swept-Source OCT for Cataract, Cornea & Glaucoma Diagnostics
At Gulati Eye Care, we’ve introduced ANTERION by Heidelberg Engineering — an advanced multimodal OCT platform that delivers precision biometry, corneal tomography, and anterior-segment imaging — all in one fast, non-contact scan.
Why we chose ANTERION
The ANTERION brings next-generation anterior-segment diagnostics to our practice.
Built with Swept-Source OCT technology, it captures highly detailed images of the cornea, lens, and anterior chamber — helping us plan cataract and refractive procedures with unmatched accuracy.
- Combines corneal topography, tomography, and biometry
- Improves efficiency with single-platform workflow
- Enhances diagnostic confidence for every case
Key benefits for patients and surgeons
- Accurate IOL Planning: High-resolution OCT biometry for precise IOL power calculations, even in dense cataracts.
- Comprehensive Corneal Assessment: Maps anterior + posterior corneal surfaces to detect keratoconus and pre-refractive abnormalities.
- Glaucoma & Angle Visualization: 360° angle imaging with AS-OCT for anterior chamber assessment and surgical planning.
- Single platform, efficient workflow: Multiple apps (Imaging, Cornea, Cataract, Metrics) run on one system, reducing patient chair-time and data fragmentation.
Clinical applications
- Cataract evaluation & IOL power calculation (standard and challenging eyes) — supports modern formulas and ray-tracing methods.
- Corneal tomography and pre-refractive screening (detect and stage ectasia) using anterior + posterior surface data.
- Phakic IOL planning and anterior chamber analysis.
- Angle/Glaucoma assessment — quantitative angle metrics and high-resolution OCT imaging for structural evaluation.
What the ANTERION exam looks like (patient experience)
- Comfortable, non-contact scan — the technician positions your head and captures images in seconds.
- Rapid multimodal capture — biometry and corneal maps are acquired in a single session.
- Surgeon review — clear images and measurement overlays let the surgeon confirm anatomy and select IOLs or next steps.
- Results & plan — we discuss findings, recommend surgery or monitoring, and provide a personalised treatment plan.
Technical highlights
- Technology: High-resolution swept-source OCT (long-wavelength) for deeper anterior-segment penetration and reduced scatter in dense cataracts.
- Modular apps: Imaging App (base), plus optional Cornea, Cataract and Metrics Apps (licensed independently).
- Comprehensive maps: Anterior/posterior curvature, elevation, pachymetry, corneal wavefront and total corneal power.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. ANTERION is a non-contact OCT imaging system used widely in ophthalmology; it has regulatory clearances and is safe for routine clinical use.
Acquisition typically takes a few minutes; the full visit (scan plus discussion) is usually under 20 minutes.
No. No special preparation is usually required. Bring your current glasses/contact lens history and prior surgical records if available.
ANTERION uses swept-source OCT to provide broad capture depth and high axial resolution, enabling reliable measurements even in challenging (e.g., dense cataract) eyes. Comparative studies show strong agreement with other modern SS-OCT biometers.
