IOLMaster 500
The Gold Standard in Optical Biometry
We trust the experience of 100 million IOL power calculations worldwide. The IOLMaster 500 is an essential diagnostic tool for precise cataract surgery planning.
It provides fast and accurate measurements of eye length and surface curvature to derive the exact Intraocular Lens (IOL) power to be used during surgery. This precision is critical for achieving the best visual outcomes.
Why do we use IOLMaster 500?
- Precision for Premium IOLs: Essential for achieving precise refractive outcomes with advanced lenses like Toric (for astigmatism) and Multifocal lenses.
- Fast & Accurate: Measures eye length and curvature in seconds with high repeatability.
- Non-Contact: A comfortable experience as nothing touches the eye, eliminating the risk of infection or corneal abrasion.
- Challenging Eyes: Capable of advanced measurements in difficult cases like high myopia (nearsightedness), high hyperopia (farsightedness), and post-LASIK eyes.
- Silicone Filled Eyes: Specialized modes allow accurate measurement even in eyes that have undergone previous retinal surgeries with silicone oil.
Common Questions about IOLMaster
By measuring the eye's dimensions with extreme accuracy, it helps the surgeon select the perfect power for the artificial lens implant. This reduces dependency on glasses after surgery.
Yes. The IOLMaster uses laser light instead of sound waves (ultrasound). This optical method is generally more accurate because it measures to the exact visual center of the eye (macula).
The measurement is extremely fast, often taking less than a minute per eye.
