Biometry (IOL Power Calculation) in Aurangabad

Precise, swept-source biometry with the Argos Biometer — the foundation of an accurate lens choice and a great cataract surgery outcome.

Understanding Biometry

The Foundation of a Great Surgery Outcome

Before any cataract surgery, precise measurement of your eye is essential to calculate the correct power of the artificial intraocular lens (IOL) that will replace your natural, clouded lens. This measurement process is called biometry, and its accuracy directly determines how well your vision will be corrected after surgery.

Hazari Eye Hospital introduced the IOLMASTER Optical Biometer in 2011 for precise cataract surgery results, and upgraded to the new-generation Argos Biometer in 2023 — a first for Marathwada — using swept-source technology for even greater axial length measurement accuracy.

This precision matters especially when choosing premium lens options like Toric, Trifocal or EDOF IOLs, where even small measurement errors can affect your final visual outcome.

Why Precision Matters

Getting Your Lens Power Right, the First Time

  • Swept-Source Technology
    The Argos Biometer measures axial length with sub-millimetre precision.
  • Fewer Post-Surgery Surprises
    Accurate measurement reduces the chance of needing unexpected glasses correction after surgery.
  • Essential for Premium Lenses
    Toric, Trifocal and EDOF lenses demand especially precise measurements to perform as intended.
  • Quick & Non-Contact
    The full measurement process typically takes just a few minutes, with no discomfort.

Common Questions

Biometry — FAQs

Biometry precisely measures your eye's dimensions — including axial length and corneal curvature — to calculate the correct power of the artificial intraocular lens (IOL) that will be implanted during cataract surgery.
The Argos Biometer uses swept-source technology for highly precise axial length measurement, significantly improving the accuracy of IOL power calculations compared to older methods.
No. It's a quick, non-contact, painless measurement — you simply look into the machine while it takes its readings, typically completed within a few minutes.
Even small errors in IOL power calculation can result in you needing glasses for distances you didn't expect after surgery. Precise biometry is one of the most important factors in achieving your desired vision outcome.
It's primarily used for IOL power calculation before cataract surgery, but the measurements are also useful for planning other refractive procedures and monitoring certain eye conditions.
