A Scan using Sonomed device

In this technique, ultrasound waves are used and the ultrasound probe is placed directly ‎on the cornea after driping anestocaine drops.‎

The purpose of this photo

The aim of this photo is to measure the various anatomical features of the eye that are ‎needed to calculate the intraocular lens power This measure is used to determine the ‎correct strength of the lens that is followed by intraocular cataract surgery.‎

Actions before the photo ‎

The patient does not need any special preparation. Before taking a shot, anesthetic ‎drops in each patient's eye can be made to alleviate the surface of the cornea. Measuring ‎the power of the cornea or keratometry before performing A-Scan is essential.‎

Steps

First, the optometrist inserts the patient's eye data and keratometry into the device. ‎After ensuring corneal anesthesia, the probe is placed directly on the cornea. After at ‎least 5 times measurements of the axial axis of the eye, the intraocular lens strength is ‎calculated.‎

Complications

Due to the use of anesthetic drops, the patient will have 1 to 2 hour feel heavy eyes.‎

Place and hours of doing

Every day, except holidays, from 7 am to 6:30 pm

The duration of the test for one eye is approximately 5-10 minutes but depends on the ‎patient's cooperation.‎
