NIDEK
The NIDEK AL-Scan M is a fully integrated optical biometer and corneal topography system designed to provide fast, precise, and non-contact eye measurements. It captures essential ocular parameters including axial length, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, central corneal thickness (CCT), white-to-white distance, and pupil diameter — all within less than 10 seconds, ensuring patient comfort and accuracy. Equipped with 3D auto-tracking and auto-shot technology, the system delivers consistent precision even in pediatric or uncooperative patients. Its intuitive user interface and clear topographic visualization enable efficient diagnostics and user-friendly operation. The AL-Scan M also supports intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations and myopia management analysis, making it a versatile solution for ophthalmic clinics and surgical centers. With high reliability, reproducibility, and advanced digital data management, the AL-Scan M sets a new standard in modern ocular biometry and diagnostics.
Detailed information
Why Myopia Management now?
The increasing prevalence of myopia especially among young children is becoming a significant global health concern. Clinical and scientific literature has shown that axial length is an excellent parameter to predict and monitor the progression of myopia. Hence, optical biometers are considered essential for myopia management.
In the AL-Scan Mis an essential first step for your Management practice?
Simply add it to your practice and your platform is ready for Myopia Management.
As most facilities already have an auto refractometer, the AL-Scan M provides the other essential components for myopia management.
Easy. Quick. Accurate.
The 3D auto tracking and auto shot allow easy operation and quick measurement like an auto refractometer. The accuracy of axial length measurement is the same as the NIDEK AL-Scan that is used in cataract practices worldwide.
Visualize progression and treatment outcomes.
Measurements over time can be monitored and compared with the growth curve*. Additionally, the MV-1** Myopia Viewer software presents the history of treatment and patient behavior in a convenient summary. The history is important for clinical decision-making and the intuitive displays are helpful for patient and parental education.

Simple data integration with the MV-1 Myopia Viewer software
Data integration between the AL-Scan M and the MV-1 is simple:
After measurement, the operator can integrate the result with the existing patient list on the MV-1. If a NIDEK autorefractor is connected, the MV-1 can receive the refraction data seamlessly. Alternatively, refraction data can be manually entered.
