Why good biometry important

• Common sources of error, different components for IOL Power calculation
• Effective Lens Position (ELP)
• Lens Constant – What is it? And it is possible to optimize? How can you work with it and improve your lens choice

Understanding your diagnostic devices

• Biometer- Acoustic contact, immersion, Optical biometer
• SSOCT
• Topographers (Basics of topography in relation to biometry)

Understanding Axial length measurement

• Steps to acquire good measurement
• Common mistakes to avoid and understanding validation criteria

Understanding corneal power measurement (Keratometry)

• Understand how Keratometry is measured in different equipment 
• (if it is an anterior keratometry or total corneal power 
• keratometry). Understand the relation between anterior and posterior 
• Steps to acquire good measurement
• Common mistakes to avoid and understanding validation criteria
