Measurement of eye length
Zeiss IOL-Master
Prototype of the IOL-Master

Before cataract surgery, Prof. Findl will measure your eye length using the IOL-Master. This high precision device measures your eye length, which is important for calculating the correct power of the artificial lens, which will be implanted during cataract surgery. It is a non-contact, painfree measurement which usually takes only a few minutes.

The same instrument is a useful tool to monitor the progression of shortsightedness in adolescents. The longer the eye, the more myopic the patient.

Prof. Findl developed this new technology in cooperation with the Institute of Medical Physics in Vienna and was involved in the first clinical application of this method of precise eye length measurement. The IOL-Master has gone on to become the most commonly used machine for eyelength measurement in the western world.

In our practice, you will find the latest version of the IOL Master with all possible additional modules installed.
