IOLMaster Technology
Non-Contact Device
Used for Extremely Accurate
Measurements Used in Intraocular
Lens Power Calculations
The Eye MDs is pleased to offer the new IOL master technology for extremely
accurate measurement of the axial length used for intraocular lens power
calculations (the custom power of the implant for an individual’s
eye).
This device uses partial coherence interferometry to measure the length
of the eye (as opposed to standard ultrasound measurements). It has an
accuracy of +/- 0.02 mm or better! This represents a fivefold increase
in measurement accuracy when compared to standard A-scan ultrasound (which
has a resolution of +/- 0.1 to 0.12 mm).
Additionally, this device is non-contact, thus eliminating inaccuracies
introduced by even small amounts of corneal compression induced by A-scan
measurement probes. It also calculates anterior chamber depth, keratometry
and the standard deviation of multiple readings (a sign of how accurate
the individual’s testing results are).
We have invested in this new technology because we feel it will improve
our ability to calculate implant powers with even greater accuracy! This
helps our cataract surgical patients have better distant vision without
glasses by improving our accuracy in choosing the best implant for the
patient’s eye.
We are truly committed to continual improvement in our surgical technology.
Dr. David George, Dr.
Scott Strickler and Dr. Zane Lazer
pioneered small incision cataract surgery with foldable
implants here in the mid-Ohio Valley. They are also experienced in
doing astigmatic reductions for patients who would benefit by such a reduction
in astigmatism.
