Abstract

One of the most recent advancements in the field of cataract surgery is optical biometry. With the advent of optical biometry ocular measurements are now simpler, quicker, and more precise. The devices have made intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations easier in difficult situations too, such as in cases with extremes of axial lengths, silicone filled eyes, cataract surgery in post-keratoplasty eyes, post Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) eyes, etc. The gold standard for IOL power calculation in the present day is by the use of optical biometry devices. The anatomical measurements by these devices are highly precise and because of these measurements and the incorporation of various IOL power calculation formulas the optical biometry devices give the accurate power and the post-operative visual outcome is highly satisfactory among the patients. The growing use of these devices has made cataract the most commonly performed refractive surgical procedure nowadays. In the current scenario, optical biometry has widespread acceptance in almost all countries and has many advantages over ultrasound or immersion biometry. Cataract surgeons can obtain easy and reliable measurements from these devices. Refractive surprises have also decreased considerably with their use. This article will comprehensively review the principles of the various optical biometry devices, the parameters used in each of the devices, the advantages and disadvantages, and add more like what all this article will add.
