Biometric study in a series of 11 affected males provides characteristic findings. The patients present with a large cornea with short radius, very deep anterior chamber depth (AC depth) exceeding the normal mean value of plus 2 SD, and a short vitreous length. Calculation of the postlimbal depth, a method applied in this study to obtain information about positioning of the iris and the lens, r...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The availability of data relating to the biometry of the CC in children that are easy to use in daily practice is limited. We present a reference biometry of the CC in MR imaging in a large cohort of children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cerebral MR imaging studies of children with normal examination findings were selected retrospectively. Children born preterm and those with...

PURPOSE To evaluate the possible benefits of biometry and ray-tracing intraocular lens (IOL) calculation for aspheric aberration-correcting IOLs. SETTING Private eye clinic in Germany. DESIGN Retrospective consecutive case series. METHODS Eyes with 3 different aberration-correcting IOLs were reviewed. Before surgery, the axial length, corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, crystalline...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article was to present methods capable of estimating the size and shape of the human eye lens without resorting to phakometry or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Previously published biometry and phakometry data of 66 emmetropic eyes of 66 subjects (age range [18, 63] years, spherical equivalent range [-0.75, +0.75] D) were used to define multiple linear r...

BACKGROUND The UK Medical Devices Agency has suggested that ophthalmic practitioners should, where practicable and not compromising clinical outcome, restrict corneal contact devices to single patient use to minimise a remote theoretical risk of transmission of new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). This study reports on a modified technique of ultrasound A-scan biometry that complies wi...
