Overview
Our Biometry service is a cutting-edge diagnostic procedure designed to obtain accurate measurements of your eye's structures, ensuring optimal outcomes for various eye surgeries and interventions.
Biometry is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic tool that captures detailed measurements of key structures within the eye, such as the length of the eyeball and the curvature of the cornea.
These measurements are crucial for planning and performing procedures like cataract surgery and implanting intraocular lenses (IOLs).

What to Expect
A step-by-step guide to your appointment experience.
Pre-Test Preparation
You'll be seated comfortably at the biometry instrument. No drops or preparation are needed. Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before testing.
Axial Length Measurement
The instrument uses light waves to measure the length of your eye from the cornea to the retina with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Corneal Measurements
The curvature and diameter of your cornea are measured, as these affect how light enters your eye and influence IOL calculations.
Additional Parameters
Anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and other measurements are captured to provide complete data for IOL calculations.
IOL Calculation
Using multiple formulas, we calculate the optimal IOL power for your eye, considering your visual goals and lifestyle needs.
Results Review
Measurements are reviewed for accuracy and consistency. Results are documented and prepared for your cataract surgeon.
