The document provides information on axial length measurement techniques using ultrasound (A-scan) biometry. It discusses average axial lengths, accuracy of measurements, examination procedure, potential sources of error for different techniques, instrument settings, and special measurement considerations. Key points include:
- The average axial length of a normal eye is 23.06mm, ranging mostly from 22-24.5mm.
- Accuracy of A-scan ultrasound is ±0.1mm. Differences between eyes should be ≤0.3mm.
- Potential sources of error include corneal compression, fluid excess, misalignment, inappropriate eye type settings.
- Gates, gain, and eye type settings impact accuracy and must be optimized.

A scan biometry | How to Use A-scan? Types of A-Scan Biometry?Naeem Ahmad
A-SCAN BIOMETRY | What is A-Scan Biometry? How To Use It?
A-scan is the short form of amplitude scan.
This eye ultrasound gives details about the length of the eye.
A-Scan is an essential diagnostic tool used in ophthalmology.
The measurement of the eye’s axial length through an A-scan is necessary for placing an intraocular lens (IOL, artificial lens) during cataract surgery.
The total refractive power of the emmetropic eye is approximately 60D. Of this power, the cornea provides roughly 40D, and the crystalline lens 20 diopters.
When a cataract is removed, the lens is replaced by an artificial lens implant. By measuring both the length of the eye (A-scan Biometry) and the power of the cornea (keratometry).
It may also be used to assess vision abnormalities and other diseases involving the eye such as tumors.
A-scan techniques are based on the principles of ultrasonography. Sound travels in a wave pattern. For a sound to be heard by the human ear, the frequency must be between 20 and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz).
For an eye examination through A-scan, an ultrasound of frequency of around 10 MHz is used.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) power calculation is a crucial step in cataract surgery and certain refractive surgeries like phakic IOL implantation. The goal is to determine the appropriate power of the IOL to be implanted into the eye, ensuring that the patient achieves their desired postoperative visual outcome. Several formulas and methods are available for IOL power calculation, and the choice of formula depends on various factors, including the patient's eye measurements and the surgeon's preference. Here, we describe the basic principles and some commonly used formulas.
Ocular Biometry:
Ocular biometry is the process of measuring various dimensions of the eye, primarily the axial length, corneal power, and anterior chamber depth. These measurements are essential for accurate IOL power calculation and achieving the desired post-surgical refractive outcome. Here are the key components of ocular biometry:
Axial Length: This measurement determines the overall length of the eye, from the cornea's front surface to the retina's back surface. Axial length is a critical factor in IOL power calculation because it helps determine the eye's focusing power.
Corneal Power: The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye, and its curvature affects the eye's refractive power. Corneal power is typically measured using techniques like keratometry or corneal topography. It helps account for the eye's astigmatism and assists in selecting the appropriate IOL.
some basic notions on how they are measured is explored here.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar leads (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments

29. Gates
Gates are electronic markers on the
screen that provide measurement of
distance between 2 or more anatomic
interfaces .
30.
31.
32. Gain Setting
Initially high gain setting should be
used to assess the overall appearance
of the echogram , then gain should
be reduced to a medium level to
improve resolution of spikes .
33.
34. Error can occur when the gain
is set too high or too low .
Very high gain short reading
Very low gain long reading
41. Use of average sound velocity ,although
sufficient in normal phakic eye , may
result in slight error when the lens is
inordinately thin or thick or when the
eye is very short or very long .
42.
43. The use of individual sound velocity
may provide more consistent and
accurate AL reading .
46. If an incorrect eye type is used
an erroneous measurement will
occur .
For determination of correct value
Velocity Conversion Equation
should be used .
50. 2. Posterior Staphyloma
Posterior staphylomas often causes
an irregular shape of the ocular wall
resulting in an inability to display a
distinct , high retinal spike , leading
to a significant error in A-scan
measurement .
51. Deepest portion of the staphyloma
may be located eccentric to macula
thus te measurement may be longer
than true AL along the visual axis .
52. B-scan can be used to demonstrate
the shape of posterior ocular wall
and the relationship of macula to
the staphyloma .
64. 6. Dense Cataract
Strong sound attenuation produced
by a very dense cataract can
significantly impair the ability to
display spikes from the various
interfaces along the visual axis .
65. Maximum gain setting may be
required to obtain spikes of
sufficient height from the
posterior lens capsule and retina .
69. This low sound velocity can result
in pronounced sound attenuation
and difficulty in identifying the
retinal spikes .
70.
71. If proper sound velocity are not
used , erroneously long AL
measurement will be obtained .
72. For accurate AL measurement ,
various ocular components should
be measured separately with
appropriate sound velocity .
73. If biometer provides only preset
sound velocity , AL measurement
can be obtained using velocity
conversion equation .
74. The least preferred method is
use of average sound velocity
Average sound velocity in eyes with
average length (23.5 mm)
1,139 m/s phakic eye
1,052 m/s aphakic eye
75. Due to strong sound attenuation
AL measurement often can not be
obtained from an eye containing
emulsified silicone oil .
82. Keratometry
A second person should confirm measurements prior to A-scan
ultrasonography if: The corneal power is less than 40.0 diopters, or
greater than 47.0 diopters.
If there has been prior keratorefractive surgery. In this case the corneal
power will need to be estimated by either the historical, or the contact lens
method.
The average corneal power difference between the two eyes is greater
than 1.00 diopter.
The patient cannot fixate, as seen with a mature cataract, or macular hole.
The amount of corneal astigmatism by keratometry, or
topography, correlates poorly with the amount of astigmatism on the most
recent manifest refraction.
The corneal diameter is less than 11.00 mm.
There is any problem with patient cooperation, or understanding.
83. Immersion A-scan Ultrasonography
A second person should re-measure both eyes if: The axial length is less
than 22.00 mm, or greater than 25.00 mm in either eye.
The axial length is greater than 26.0 mm, and there is a poor retinal
spike, or wide variability in the readings.
There is a difference in axial length between the two eyes of greater than
0.33 mm that cannot be correlated with the patient's oldest refraction.
Axial length measurements do not correlate with the patient's refractive
error. In general, myopes should have eyes longer than 24.0 mm and
hyperopes should have eyes shorter than 24.0 mm. Exceptions to this rule
involve steep, or flat corneas. Be sure to use the oldest refractive data.
There is difficulty obtaining correctly positioned, high, steeply rising
echoes, or wide variability in individual axial length readings for either
eye.
84. There is a difference in axial length between the two eyes of greater
than 0.33 mm that cannot be correlated with the patient's oldest refraction.
Axial length measurements do not correlate with the patient's refractive error.
In general, myopes should have eyes longer than 24.0 mm and hyperopes
should have eyes shorter than 24.0 mm. Exceptions to this rule involve steep,
or flat corneas. Be sure to use the oldest refractive data.
There is difficulty obtaining correctly positioned, high, steeply rising echoes,
or wide variability in individual axial length readings for either eye.
85. Intraocular Lens Power
A second person should repeat the axial length measurements, keratometry
readings and re-run the IOL power calculations for both eyes if: The IOL
power for emmetropia is greater than 3.00 diopters different than
anticipated.
There is a difference in IOL power of greater than 1.00 diopter between the
two eyes.
If the patient has had prior keratorefractive surgery and the calculated IOL
power for standard phacoemulsification is less than +20.0 D or greater than
+23.0 D.
90. Theoretical Formula
These formulas contain many
assumptions including values of
postop ACD , refractive index of
cornea and ocular humors , retinal
thickness
99. SRK II
A1 = A + 3 AL < 20mm
A1 = A + 2 AL 20-21
A1 = A + 1 AL 21-22
A1 = A AL 22-24.5
A1 = A – 0.5 AL >24.5
100. SRK/T
It is a nonlinear theoretical optical
formula empirically optimized for
postop ACD , retinal thickness ,
corneal refractive index .
It combines advantages of theoretical
and regression formulas .
105. There are currently three IOL constants in use: The
SRK/T formula uses an "A-constant."
The Holladay 1 formula uses a "Surgeon Factor."
The Holladay 2 formula, and the Hoffer Q formula,
both use an "Anterior Chamber Depth." aka: ACD.
106. d = the effective lens position, where ...
d = a0 + (a1 * ACD) + (a2 * AL)
Haigis Formula
107. * The a0 constant basically moves the curve up,
or down, in much the same way that the A-
constant, Surgeon Factor, or ACD does for the
Holladay 1, Holladay 2, Hoffer Q and SRK/T
formulas.
* The a1 constant is tied to the measured
anterior chamber depth.
* The a2 constant is tied to the measured axial
length. The way the a0, a1 and a2 constants are
derived is by generating a set of surgeon, and
IOL-specific
