Measuring the length of the eye accurately is extremely important in cataract surgery, as it allows the eye surgeon to select the right power lens to implant for each patient. The IOLMaster is the latest technology in this area, and is more accurate than any other method, including the ultrasound test typically covered by provincial and territorial health plans. IOLMaster testing is an option available for patients who would like the best possible accuracy available for lens selection. In many cases the increase in accuracy reduces the need for glasses after surgery. #ygkGEC

IOL Master Laser Biometry is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the shape of the cornea and the length of the eyeball prior to surgery. It allows our surgeons to calculate the exact artificial lens power needed. You will be seated in a chair in the diagnostic procedure room. Your head will then be positioned so that your chin is resting in front of the machine. During the test, a technician will have you look in certain directions, and you may see several lights. #iolmast...er The test is completely painless and safe, the entire procedure only takes a few minutes. Benefits of the Procedure: No method is perfect but this technology allows for significant reduction in the chances of being dependant on glasses for distance vision. Laser biometry is recommended for all cataract patients regardless of lens choice. #ygkGEC See more
