Topography, Aberrometry & Q-Value: The Hidden Edge of Huvitz HBM-1 Optical Biometer

Many clinics focus only on axial length and keratometry – but for premium IOL outcomes, surface-level measurements aren’t enough.

That’s why the Huvitz HBM-1 doesn’t just measure — it analyzes.

Beyond Biometry: Why Topography Matters

• The HBM-1 features a full Placido-based topographer to analyze the asphericity (Q-value) of the cornea.

• Spherical aberration, often caused by an oblate cornea, can degrade vision despite "perfect" lens power.

• By measuring Q-values, HBM-1 allows you to select IOLs that compensate for the patient’s actual optical profile.

  
  

Aberrometry: Precision for the Demanding Patient

Today’s patients expect more than 6/6 vision. They want clarity at all distances, in all lighting. HBM-1's Higher order aberration (HOA) analysis helps:

• Identify and quantify higher-order aberrations

• Customize IOL selection (especially aspheric or toric)

• Improve patient satisfaction in premium surgeries

  
  

Bottom Line

If you’re doing toric, trifocal, or aspheric IOLs - topography and Q-value data are not optional. The HBM-1 ensures you don’t fly blind in the premium IOL era.
