Echobiometry allows measurement of selected anatomical dimensions of the eye using ultrasound. In cataract surgery, these measurements may contribute to the data required for calculating the artificial intraocular lens. Modern IOL calculations may also incorporate other forms of biometric measurement. At Ahvar Clinic, the required measurements are selected according to the diagnostic goal.
What it addresses / benefits
- measurement of axial eye length
- assessment of anatomical parameters
- collection of data for ophthalmic surgical calculations
- preparation for IOL implantation
- objective instrumental examination.
Preparation
Special preparation is usually not required. The examination method depends on the equipment and clinical purpose.
How the procedure is performed
Eye parameters are measured with an ultrasound device. The values are recorded automatically for further analysis.
Result / recovery
The data are interpreted by the ophthalmologist together with other examinations, including during surgical planning.

Ophthalmologist Consultation
An ophthalmologist consultation provides a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, vision, and eye health to determine the need for diagnostics, treatment, or follow-up.

Comprehensive vision diagnostics combines appropriate tests to assess visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure, and other relevant eye parameters.
Learn moreLaser Vision Correction
Laser vision correction changes the optical properties of the cornea to correct refractive errors and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Learn moreCataract Treatment
A cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens. When vision is significantly affected, the main treatment is surgical replacement of the cloudy lens with an artificial IOL.
