Ultrasound measurement of ocular dimension is the chosen method for assessing axial length when determining dioptric power for intraocular lens. From the current results of 30 cases studied, the mean axial length ranges from 22 to 23 mm. Despite the limitation of the accuracy of the ultrasonic measurements with the 7.5 mHz transducer, the power of intraocular lens can. be determined satisfactor...

PURPOSE To compare the distributional parameters for a series of ocular biometric traits between twins and their singleton siblings, to evaluate the generalizability of twin data, as used in heritability analyses to the general population. METHODS A series of birth, anthropometric, and 13 ocular biometric traits were selected for analysis: interpupillary distance (IPD), visual acuity (logMAR)...

OBJECTIVE To describe the variation in ocular biometry and its association with refraction in adult Mongolians. METHODS The study included 1800 subjects, aged 40 years or more, who were selected in two Mongolian provinces-Hövsgöl and Omnögobi-to participate in this population survey. Axial length (AL) and its components, as well as noncycloplegic autorefraction and corneal power (CP), were me...

A 21-year–old man was re ferred to an ophthalmology clinic insisting on getting rid of his glasses which he had been using for 11 years. Gross ocular examination was normal except for small eyes. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 and 20/50 with +16.00 and +18.00 diopter (D) glasses in his right and left eyes respectively. No ocular deviation was observed and slit lamp and fundus exa...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between the differences in the ocular component values with the degree of anisomyopia. METHODS Refraction, corneal power (CP), and biometry were examined in 50 myopic adults with refractive differences (RD) over 1.50 diopters (D). Ocular components were measured by ultrasound biometry and keratometry. The correlation between the differences in the ocular ...

AIM To compare ocular biometric values in a population based sample of eyes with occludable angles, angle closure glaucoma, and normal subjects. METHOD 2850 subjects from a population based glaucoma prevalence study underwent complete ocular examination including indentation gonioscopy. Ocular biometry was performed in all subjects classified to have occludable angles (n = 143); angle closure...

PURPOSE To assess wavefront derived refraction and full eye biometry including ciliary muscle dimension and full eye axial geometry in pseudophakic eyes using spectral domain OCT equipped with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. METHODS Twenty-eight adult subjects (32 pseudophakic eyes) having recently undergone cataract surgery were enrolled in this study. A custom system combining two optica...
