Abstract

Cataract surgery is currently the most frequently performed surgical procedure in developed countries. In some cases it is also regarded as refractive procedure, and the use of premium intraocular lenses (aspheric, toric, multifocal) allows the patient to become spectacle independent. The improvement of surgical treatment results in rising expectations of patients. The key issue is to achieve the desired refractive outcome. Essential for this purpose are precise measurements of the eye, and selection of the optimal IOL calculation formula. The aim of this paper is to present current techniques of ocular biometry and new biometry devices available in Poland, along with a comparison of their functions. Good understanding the advantages and limitations of the current technology allows to perform measurements efficiently and to achieve highly accurate refractive outcomes.
