Tracey Technologies Launches iTrace Prime Upgraded Software for iTrace Aberrometer

Tracey Technologies announced the release of iTrace Prime, an upgraded software for the iTrace Ray Tracing aberrometer and corneal topographer. 

This new software version (7.0) adds new features that improve the range of information able to be gathered from a single device, according to a company news release. The “Prime Dashboard” includes two new indices: the Corneal Performance Index (CPI) and the Quality of Vision Index (QVI) to the proprietary Dysfunctional Lens Index (DLI). This additional data provides practitioners a more comprehensive picture of patients’ eyesight while enhancing their ability to identify the source of vision problems, making it easier to plan the best treatment option for every patient, according to Tracey Technologies.

The iTrace Prime upgrade also includes Tear Film Analysis, which is designed to record images of the ocular surface for 12 seconds starting immediately after a blink. This can reveal the local shape and sharpness changes of Placido rings. A proprietary algorithm then generates a number from 0-10—the Tear Film Index (TFI)—which assesses the degree to which the effects of dry eye disease (DED) are impacting a patient’s vision.
