A-scan of the eye, or ultrasound biometry, is used to measure various parameters of the eye, primarily the length of the eyeball. This is an important diagnostic method in ophthalmology. The main purposes of performing an A-scan include:

• Selection of Intraocular Lenses (IOL):

When preparing for cataract surgery with subsequent IOL implantation, accurate measurement of the eye length is necessary to choose the correct lens power.

• Diagnosis of eye diseases:

A-scan helps diagnose and monitor various eye diseases.

• Monitoring myopia progression in children:

Measuring the length of the eye allows tracking the progression of myopia and evaluating the effectiveness of its control methods.

• Assessment of conditions before and after surgery:

A-scan is used to assess the condition of the eye before and after surgeries.

The A-scan procedure is safe, painless and does not require extensive preparation. It provides accurate data necessary for successful treatment and management of eye conditions.
