The Pentacam AXL is designed to take photos of the anterior segment of the eye, which includes the cornea, pupil, anterior chamber, and lens of the eye, to evaluate corneal shape, analyze condition of the lens (opaque crystalline lens), analyze the anterior chamber angle, analyze anterior chamber depth, analyze the volume of the anterior chamber, analyze anterior or posterior cortical opacity, analyze the location of cataracts (nuclear, sub capsular and/or cortical), using cross slit imaging with densitometry, corneal thickness, axial length, and white-to-white distance. The Pentacam AXL also performs calculations to assist physicians in determining the power of the intraocular lens for implantation.

Oculus issued an email on November 21, 2017 to their U.S. subsidiary which contained a Mandatory Software Update notification. The email informed the U.S. subsidiary that a mandatory software update was planned for the Pentacam AXL in possession of their customers, provided the software versions affected, and the reason for the mandatory update. The email explained the USB thumb drive will be shipped to the U.S. subsidiary for each serial number that may be affected. The U.S. subsidiary was to match the serial numbers to their customers and complete the attached customer letter for issuance to each of the customers. The U.S. subsidiary is then supposed to issue the letter and the USB thumb drive via certified mail to each of their customers who have the affected serial numbers. The customer is to send back the completed, signed form verifying the mandatory software update has been installed on all working places on which the Pentacam AXL software is running or that the procedure was performed by an authorized distributor.
