Cataract Technology

Modern cataract surgery is a minimally invasive procedure which allows almost immediate recovery however, all of these advancements are in vain if the lens calculations are not correct.

The IOL master together with the corneal topographer gives us the most accurate tool for lens power calculation ensuring your cataract surgery will have the best outcome possible.

IOLs come in different powers and sizes to compensate for each patient's individual needs. For best vision after cataract surgery, precise measurements must be taken to determine which IOL to implant.

The IOL Master is a high-precision instrument revolutionizing all previous techniques and setting a new standard for IOL calculations, called optical biometry.

Optical biometry using the IOL Master does not subject our patients to any discomfort. No local anesthesia is required and there is no risk associated with taking the measurements.

The difference between good vision and great vision after cataract surgery can be attributed to the diagnostic technology used to calculate the appropriate IOL.
This technology provides our patients with the opportunity for the best possible visual outcome.
The IOLMaster is a great advancement in IOL calculation because it uses very short light waves to measure axial length instead of much longer ultrasound waves, resulting in about three times the accuracy of ultrasound devices.
The risk of confusing right and left eye measurements is eliminated with this technology because the IOLMaster automatically detects the right or left eye while taking the measurement.
Axis length, corneal diameter, corneal radii and anterior-chamber depth of the eye are measured with the IOLMaster. However, we actually get slightly more accurate and repeatable measurements using a manual ophthalmometer to measure corneal radii, so that is our standard.
Measuring the eye with the IOLMaster takes less time than using ultrasound, the traditional form of measurement that requires eyedrop anesthesia.
