Why Testing Matters
Accurate measurements turn into accurate lens power, incision placement, and astigmatism control. Each test narrows uncertainty so your lens choice and recovery stay predictable.
Corneal Mapping
- Topography and tomography: Reveal curvature, astigmatism axis, and subtle irregularities that affect toric alignment and candidacy for premium lenses.
- Keratometry quality checks: Multiple readings confirm stability; outliers prompt ocular surface treatment before planning.
Biometry and Aberrometry
- Optical biometry: Measures axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness to feed modern IOL formulas.
- Intra-operative aberrometry: When appropriate, provides live guidance to fine-tune toric power or lens selection during surgery.
Macular and Optic Nerve Imaging
- OCT scans: Detect macular puckers, edema, or early age-related changes that can limit vision potential.
- Optic nerve review: Screens for glaucoma risk that may influence post-op pressure management.
Tear-Film and Ocular Surface Analysis
- Meibography, osmolarity, and staining patterns uncover dry eye drivers that can blur measurements and recovery.
- Treating lids and tear film before surgery sharpens calculations and reduces postoperative fluctuation.
From Data to Surgical Plan
All diagnostics flow into a customized plan: lens power selection, incision type and location, astigmatism management, and the target for each eye. This data-driven approach supports steady outcomes for cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange alike.
