Know Your Ophthalmic Equipment: A-Scan Biometry
Dr Mohini Modak | Focus Eye Clinic, Thane
An A-Scan Biometry is an ultrasound-based diagnostic test used to accurately measure the axial length (front-to-back length) of the eye. These measurements are essential for calculating the correct intraocular lens (IOL) power before cataract surgery, helping patients achieve the best possible vision after the procedure. It is especially valuable in eyes with dense or mature cataracts, where optical biometry may not provide reliable readings.
The test is quick, painless, and safe. A small ultrasound probe measures the eye's internal dimensions with high precision. Depending on the situation, it may be performed using a contact or immersion technique. Accurate A-scan measurements play a vital role in reducing postoperative spectacle dependence and improving visual outcomes after cataract surgery.
At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr Mohini Modak uses advanced diagnostic technology to ensure every cataract surgery is carefully planned for precise and predictable results.
