IOLMaster® – Enhancing Surgical Outcomes.
The Zeiss IOL Master was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in March of 2000. A non-contact optical device that measures the distance from the corneal vertex to the retinal pigment epithelium by partial coherence interferometry, the IOL Master is consistently accurate to within ±0.02 mm or better.
The IOL Master is the first such device to be widely used in clinical ophthalmology. Calibrated against the ultra-high resolution 40-MHz Grieshaber Biometric System, an internal algorithm approximates the distance to the vitreoretinal interface, for the equivalent of an immersion A-scan ultrasonic axial length.
Considering the fact that axial length measurements by A-scan ultrasonography (using a standard 10-MHz transducer) have a typical resolution of 0.10 mm to 0.12 mm, axial length measurements by the IOL Master represent a fivefold increase in accuracy.

Meditec IOL Master - Overview
 The Carl Zeiss Meditec IOL Master is a state-of-the-art laser system that evaluates the length of the eye, surface curvature and intraocular lens power.
 In cataract surgery, or other lens-replacement procedures, vision is improved
by replacing the eye's natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). IOLs come
in different powers and sizes to compensate for each patient's individual needs.
For best vision after cataract surgery, precise measurements must be taken
to determine which IOL to implant. The IOL Master is a high-precision
instrument revolutionizing all previous techniques and setting a new standard
for IOL calculations, called optical biometry.
With the IOL Master, Dr. Melki can have complete confidence in the accuracy of
results. Testing is fast and efficient (one minute or less), and both patient
safety and comfort is enhanced. The IOL Master is the first optical tool that
doesn't require contact with the eye, which eliminates the need for anesthesia
and excludes any risk of infection.
Approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in March of 2000 the Carl Zeiss Meditec IOL Master
represents a fivefold increase in accuracy over measurements made by A-scan ultrasonography devices.
