Working
Toward Improved Vision
 We
have recently added a new piece of equipment, the Zeiss IOL Master.
This technology recently became available in Germany, and our
machine was one of the first delivered after FDA approval in this
country. It measures the axial length of the eye using laser interferometry.
The accuracy of this new method is about ten times better than
the conventional ultrasound measurements. It is also more comfortable
for our patients as they have only to look into the machine and
a low power laser beam measures the eye. These measurements are
entered into a computer program in order to calculate the power
of intraocular lens implant to be placed in your eye after cataract
surgery. The more accurate measurements should allow less correction
on your glasses after cataract surgery and better vision without
glasses.
