Equipment for Biometry Clinic
๏ Vision Testing๏ Biometer, Optical or Ultrasound๏ Measure K- Reading - Biometry, Auto K, Manual๏ Way of Calculating , Paper, on board calculator,
Internet
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Complex Patients and Complex Lenses
๏ Newer Generation Biometers, eg IOL Master 700๏ Immersion Ultrasound, B Scan Biometry๏ Topography, understanding front and back
surface of cornea๏ Useful for Premium IOL and Complex cases๏ Aberrometers, measure visual quality
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Busy NHS Clinic
๏ Standard Patient๏ Expect range of ALM to be normal range 22-27๏ Astigmatism under 2?๏ Standard biometer will be quick and accurate for
normal cases
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
K Readings
๏ Based on formula ๏ KD = n-1/rmm
๏ Can vary instrument to instrument - Centration Pupil or Visual Axis - Area measured Zone or Ring
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Curvature
๏ The cornea is not a uniform shape๏ It varies depending on where we measure the K
reading- Auto Keratometer 3-3.3 mm- IOL Master 2.4mm- Pentacam 3mm
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
K Readings Vary
๏ Where they are taken๏ Are they taken as an average over an area or at
a point๏ Changes in Refractive Index

Visual Axis vs Pupil Centre
๏ Pupil centre is not coincident with the
visual axis.๏ If the difference between them is too
great they may experience problems
with multifocal IOL
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Axial Length
๏ Optical ๏ Uses light to bounce off the retina๏ Problems with fixation๏ Have you measured RPE or ILM๏ Modern Biometers use composite
measure
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Signal to Noise Ratio
๏ Measure of clarity of the medium measurement
is taken through๏ The higher the noise the more difficult it is to
take and accuracy of measure decreases๏ However Good SNR does not always equal
accurate measurement.๏ Check other eye

Case Study
• A colleague calls in a panic. He has implanted
the patient and ended up refractive surprise• PreOp • ALM R23.5 K1 43.15x178 K2 45.76 x 88• ALM L 20.81 K1 47x180 k2 47x90• Implant L 28 SuperLens A const 118 SRK/T• What caused the refractive surprise?• What steps would you take in your
investigation?
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Ultrasound
๏ Only used if - Cataract Dense (A scan)- Macular issue or further investigation needed
(B-Scan)- Some biometrists feel immersion biometry is
the most accurate
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
White to White
๏ Can measure with a ruler, calliper, biometer,
topographer๏ Check for error messages, normally need to be
able to see at least 70% limbus for auto
measurement๏ Why are you measuring WtoW?๏ What type of lens implanting? AC Lens, PIOL?๏ Should you be measuring at sulcus or angle?

Complex Cases
๏ Corneal surface is not regular๏ Need to understand how K readings are
measured
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
K Readings
๏ Estimation of the curvature of Surface๏ Used to calculate power of IOL๏ Can get different measures taking measure in
different place
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Power Distribution
๏ 1 normal 1 ab showing variation
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Complex Cases
๏ Use topography/ tomography๏ Image front and back or cornea helpful to avoid
surprise in Toric patients๏ Aberrometry may help understand visual quality,
useful for Multifocal or Toric IOL
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Wavefront Basics
๏ Zernike is a way of describing a wavefront as it exits the eye๏ Different instruments measure different things
– Whole Aberrations (Eg OPD III)– Anterior Surface only (Eg Zeiss Atlas)– Anterior and Posterior Cornea (Eg Pentacam)
๏ In cataract we are interested in Anterior and Posterior Cornea
mainly as the rest will be removed with the cataract
www.medsalesacademy.co.uk
Aberrometers
๏ Becoming more common๏ Useful to determine vision๏ Eg Point Spread Function
