Condition & Warranty
Used. Tested before listing — PCI (Partial Coherence Interferometry) axial length measurement verified, keratometry confirmed, anterior chamber depth and pupil size measurement validated, IOL calculation software functional, software boot and report generation verified, calibration check completed. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.
Nidek AL-Scan — Used Optical Biometer for IOL Calculation
The Nidek AL-Scan is Nidek’s optical biometer — partial coherence interferometry (PCI) axial length measurement combined with keratometry, anterior chamber depth, and pupillometry for IOL calculation. This used nidek al-scan ships ready for cataract pre-op workflows at sub-$10K Used pricing.
The AL-Scan covers the core IOL-calculation workflow — axial length via PCI (more accurate through media opacities than legacy ultrasound), keratometry for corneal power, anterior chamber depth for IOL position estimation, and pupillometry for premium-IOL candidacy. Suitable for practices doing routine cataract pre-op without the broader 9-parameter Lenstar workflow.
According to a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (Indian J Ophthalmol, 2026), ophthalmic-instrument repeatability depends heavily on operator-instrument interaction — supporting the standardized PCI biometry workflow Nidek AL-Scan was designed to deliver.
Why Practices Choose the AL-Scan
PCI optical biometry — accurate axial length through media opacities.- Integrated keratometry — corneal power for IOL calculation.
- Anterior chamber depth measurement — for IOL position estimation.
- Pupillometry — for premium-IOL candidacy assessment.
- Compact tabletop footprint.
- Nidek US service network — extensive parts and support.
- Used tier with 90-day DEC warranty — sub-$10K optical biometry.
- IOL calculation software — modern IOL formulas.
Clinical Applications
- Cataract surgery IOL calculation — PCI axial length + K readings.
- Premium IOL planning — pupillometry for multifocal candidacy.
- Post-cataract IOL exchange planning.
- Pre-LASIK refractive screening — K readings.
- Pediatric cataract — non-contact PCI measurement.
- Multi-doctor cataract clinic workflow.
Who This Is For
- Cataract surgery practices needing routine optical biometry.
- Multi-doctor groups standardizing on Nidek diagnostic equipment.
- Budget-conscious practices wanting PCI biometry without Lenstar premium.
- Practices comparing Nidek AL-Scan vs Zeiss IOLMaster vs Haag-Streit Lenstar.
- Buyers replacing ultrasound A-scan biometry with optical biometry.
