The ocular biometry is a fundamental test for accurately calculating the intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during cataract or clear lens surgery. It allows to measure the axial eye lengththe corneal curvatureand other parameters necessary to choose the most suitable lens and obtain the best possible visual result.
At the clinic in Ali Nowrouzi we use state-of-the-art biometrics (optical and ultrasonic when necessary), which allows us to:
Obtain extremely accurate measurements of the eye.
Selecting the ideal intraocular lens: monofocal, toric, multifocal or extended range.
Prevent refractive errors after surgery.
To make an individualised surgical plan for each patient.
Significantly improve visual outcomes after surgery.
The test is quick, painless and usually does not require contact with the eye.
The test analyses several key parameters of the eye, among them:
Axial length.
Corneal curvature.
Anterior chamber depth.
Thickness of the lens.
Distance between internal structures.
With all these data, the power of the intraocular lens to be implanted is precisely calculated.
Biometry is the basis for good vision after the operation.
Without an accurate measurement, the refractive result may not be the desired one, leading to residual myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
It is the key tool for customising the surgery and choosing the ideal lens.
Mainly optical biometrics, The most accurate and fastest.
In cases where there are very dense cataracts or ocular transparency problems, it is complemented with biometry. by ultrasound, The new system is just as reliable in these situations.
Optical biometrics does not touch the eye and is completely painless.
The patient only has to fix his or her gaze for a few seconds.
In the case of ultrasonic biometry, topical anaesthesia is used and the test is still very well tolerated.
Generally between 2 and 5 minutes per eye.
The results are obtained immediately and are reviewed by the specialist at the same consultation.
Yes, when the prescription changes, the cornea has undergone previous surgery or there is a condition that may alter the measurements, the biometry is repeated to ensure accuracy. It is usual to update the biometry before surgery.
Yes. It is necessary in surgeries of crystal clear, in phakic lenses or in patients seeking spectacle independence through intraocular techniques.
If you need a ocular biometry If you wish to accurately assess the measurements of your eye before surgery, you can make an appointment with Dr. Ali Nowrouzi in Marbella and have the test carried out in the same consultation room, with detailed interpretation of the results on the spot.
